That might be a good suggestion. I only even said anything because I saw some playful ribbing of folks who had said they voted for my panther pic so I felt like I should weigh in. I feel like it needs to be no influence/commenting or anything's fair game.
When did dubia roaches first become commercially available? And when did they become as widespread as they are now?
I started out keeping reptiles when I was a kid in the late 90's and early to mid 00's. Back then, the insect feeders commercially available were crickets and mealworms, with the...
**Shameless self promotion** While the Parson's is a very nice photo, the photo of my panther Spicoli has a great story behind it: Spicoli was re-homed to me from a keeper who could no longer take care of him. I had recently lost a chameleon and was not sure I was ready for another pet, but this...
I thought this addition might be relevant to anyone doing research into potential chameleon breeders: The West Coast Chameleon Bros stand at the 2019 Sacramento Reptile Show appeared to be selling quite a few animals to low information keepers in enclosures smaller than would normally be...
Well let me know how it goes and I may resume my own project. It's been in the 100's where I live though, so I haven't been able to order any silkworm eggs anyway (I could probably pay for icepacks and overnight shipping and have them arrive alive, but then we're looking at shipping that costs...
Have you successfully used that recipe for mash to feed any silkworms yet? I have been thinking about doing the same as I live in a neighborhood with several publicly accessible trees. I ground a bag of them up and was frustrated at only getting about a cup of powder so I have given up for now...
Good Evening All,
I've seen a few posts recently about bioactive builds and lighting. I thought I would share the enclosure I setup for my two year old panther Chameleon Spicoli back in December, with lighting and drainage specs for anyone trying to build something similar. Spicoli in a 36" x...
Spicoli is a two year old male panther chameleon. He is currently housed in a 36" by 36" by 18" Exo-Terra terrarium. There are 50 unique plant species in the setup.
I'm not good enough to ID any of those to the species level. I will suggest downloading an app called "PlantSnap" which can help ID plants from a picture of the foliage. I started using it to try and find mulberry trees for my silkworms before I really knew what the leaves looked like.
It's...
There is a free smartphone app called "PlantSnap" that will identify plant species for you from pictures of the foliage. It's a little spotty with weird tropical plants, but it has thus far been very good at identifying mulberry trees for me (though I now know what they look like, thanks in part...
To address the original question: yes, a misting system has the potential to flood your enclosure over time. Goose may have reached misting equilibrium, but the amount I need to mist my vivarium to keep the humidity within the acceptable range will flood my setup within a month or two (based on...
Greetings,
Good to hear you've got some ferns planted! I think they're underutilized in the chameleon setups I have seen. I am a big fan myself. As has essentially already been stated: if you're trying to get decent light 4' down into the setup, you'll need a spotlight or floodlight, nothing...
