    Compact florescent uvb light

    Ive used them, even on larger cages. some brands are better than others (especially older ones - some had issues), and there is some concern that the internal coating can crack on the twists which over time might be a concern. I prefer the tubes for the coverage but I wouldn't hesitate to...

    Are crickets a must...

    Comment by 'sandrachameleon' in 'Polly's finnished enclosure'

    Looks good. Especially once that pothos fills in a bit more at the top. You might want another horizontal vines/branches under the basking light, to give options in terms of distance from the bulb You could attach some larger bowls in there for feeding fast moving prey like roaches and...

    Vitamin A; the great debate?

    If you think it could be vitamin A, try giving him a dose of preformed vitamin A (not carotene) and see if it helps A watery eye suggests an infection or similar, not a vitamin deficiency.

    Lemon peel (as well as orange peel and lime peel) is high in oxalates. as well, for those not growing their own, these fruits when commercial grown are sprayed with a lot of pesticides and such

    where can i find chow?

    yes, dandelion grows low to the ground and has yellow flowers. the leaves (especially young small fresh spring leaves) are a good gutload for most feeders, including silkworms (up to 50% using mulberry for the rest). the flowers are good too, but silks prefer the leaves.
