hopefully you are measuring your uva basking with a thermocouple(sender of a digital therm). remember your temp gun does not directly measure air temp. for some reason you seem reluctant to disclose the specific model of gun or its d/s ratio. 20" is a really interesting figure, if your temp...

20 inches away, really, whats the d/s ratio of your gun and how large of an area are you trying to measure ? that would be really interesting to know. doesnt matter how fancy of a display, its still measuring in the same way. even expensive ir temp guns come in a multitude of ds ratios for...

the lazer only indicates where the gun is pointed, it does not affect the reading or accuracy in any way, do you know the d/s ratio of your gun?, if not, then you cant tell what you are measuring regardless of the quality or d/s ratio of your gun. heat guns are great for some things but terrible...

each other :eek:!

macro photography of L1 tinodera sinensis L1 tinodera sinensis, on a toothpick at 50x. really hard to do macrophotography of a live subject at these magnification levels because every movement of the equipment, the subject or the photographer, is multiplied x50. they will sometimes sit...

whatever his problems are feeding him wax worms will make them worse. have you been feeding waxworms all along? waxworms are one of the worst things you can feed a cham, especially a montane. imo 40 watts household bulb max for uva in a cage that size. imo, temp guns are a poor choice for a...

id like to say yes, but that would be impossible to do without knowing what kind of mold it was. probably not an issue, healthy chams are pretty resistant to such things, but if your cham already has health issues, that could be a different story. if its a green mold its likely aspergillis...

imo, by 1 mth, neonates should be off ffs and onto bsfl bbfs and small silks, 1/4" dubia. jmo

sorry to hear that. montanes arent that tricky, but they are different. if you decide to give it another go, your experience will have you better prepared for the next time. if you decide to try again pm me first and i will make some recommendations as to where to get the healthiest starter...

parental pathogen transmission. short answer; imo, yes, even likely depending upon the pathogen in question and several other factors.

one thing to remember, is the acetic acid in vinegar breaks the bond of calcium, imo making vinegar enriched mediums poor choice for neonates. imo if a mold inhibitor is needed tegosept is a better choice for media that will produce flies intended for neonates. tegosept is available at carolina...

You have to get them as an oothe or young mantids. Oddly enough, idolos are real clumbsy and adults don't sbip well. They only come from the congo and are technically illegal to keep or import, but keeping idolos, is the holy grail for most serious mantis keepers, watch the vids and you will see...

I love mantids, some even like to watch tv, idolomantis diabloica, probably the largest and most evil looking of all mantids wont even bite. my friend precarious333 has some and they like to hang out in the bush on his desk or sit in the window and watch cars go by. He has some exquisite vids...

I've gotten them to eat strawberry, kiwi, plantains, watermelon, cantelope, casaba, grapes,honeydew, pretty much anything cool sweet and moist.bigger ones will also eat neon tetras lol. Too many cricks arent good for them and adult cricks could kill them if left unattended.
