    rain dome

    I bought a raindome from mistking and the dome itself is pretty small, only comes to 1 1/2 inches off the actual screen once assembled at its maximum height. I had to use additional tubing to get it higher off the screen in order to create a larger spread pattern for the mist to come down upon...

    Any snake "experts" here???

    Thank you all for your input and sharing your valuable experience so far. Now in regards to frozen mice/rats. I'm assuming that you don't just take one out of the freezer and feed it to your snake. Do you thaw it out in a microwave or just let it sit out in the open and for how long before...

    Any snake "experts" here???

    The store where im buying my snake from sells both frozen and live rodents so that's no problem. I did hear once that if a snake is attacked from a live rodent it will be scared of it and refuse to eat it from that point forward, to the point of starving to death, which im not sure is real or...

    Any snake "experts" here???

    great info, thanks. next, live rodents or frozen?? Also, the kit comes with a bowl that's labeled for bathing/soaking and a water treatment. Is that necessary if I have a soft water conditioning system already installed in my house?

    Any snake "experts" here???

    ok so 18x36" is the preferred option, but what height is better? is the heat mat better placed underneath or on the side? who makes a better glass/acrylic habitat, exo terra or zoomed?? Are colored bulbs better or just regular "house" bulbs for heat or should I get one of those new Sunray...

    Any snake "experts" here???

    yes its a super pastel ball python and its currently around 20"-22" long. I chose the 18x18x24"(LxWxH) because the vendor said that a taller cage is not necessary since the python isn't an arboreal reptile so wont be climbing all that much so having something tall isn't as necessary as...

    Any snake "experts" here???

    Hi, Im looking into buying a male Super Pastel python within the next few weeks, probably before xmas or new years and I already have an exo terra black cabinet/stand that's 18"x18".

    wont eat dubias

    I purchased a pair of dubs that were nymphs and threw them into my vieleds cage like I do with all his feeders and I think that since they were so small, he didn't find them or eat them until, a few weeks later I see him practically running around his cage but not in a "hunting" style but...

    When to introduce a new mate...

    This past weekend my male Jackson passed away and I still have my breeding female. At what point and what method can I introduce a new male to continue breeding? Do they need to have time in separate cages before pairing them up?

    Human health concerns

    Thank you all for your kind words and I thankfully am fully recovered. I just wish that I had noticed earlier how he was feeling and was quicker to act to save him. The next time Im sick or have to leave my house for an extended period of time I will have to leave him under the care of someone...

    Human health concerns

    Yes the one on Sunrise is the bi-weekly vet specialist that I was referring to earlier but, alas, when I woke up this morning I sadly noticed that my little Green Manaleesh was lying on his side on the bottom of the cage, tongue protruding from his mouth and more of what Im assuming is vomit in...

    Human health concerns

    Thank you Sandra for understanding what I meant to say, I am very worried about my pet, whether its the scaley or the furry or the feathery variety and do take care of them when I am able too. Since I have been home I have had been using a room heater to warm it up some since the temps here in...

    Human health concerns

    I was recently hospitalized with a post operative infection and was on IV antibiotics for two months, both in hospital and at home. I just realized yesterday that one of my chams was not eating like normal and that both of his eyes are constantly closed and sunken in. He also has this brown...

    Does 1000 baby crickets take up a lot of space?

    I always buy my crickets in 1000 pc boxes and no they don't take up that much space at all. I use a 3 gallon generic plastic critter keeper that I bought and they ususally come packed with a couple of slices of potato or carrot in the box already. I add some Bug Burger and water crystals for...

    Exoterra Sunray

    I was picking up some 3/4" crickets today and I noticed that the store had a few of these Sunrays set up and I have to admit that it is a good looking set up. They were using the 70 watt bulbs at a height of 6 inches off the top of their reptibreeze and it did give off a nice amount of heat for...

    Better gravid female food

    Ive tried both wax and butterworms in the past but my jax just don't seem interested in them. Ive used a normal dark colored bird perch feeder and this vibrating dish for bearded dragons and they just look at them but seem to loose interest shortly there after. They love supers and the...
