Selling chameleons together with 3 DIY cages that are 24"x24"x48", custom made drainage tray, and ultimate mist king systems (comes with automatic timer), 3 UV lights, 4 heat...
I can grow Dubias and silkworms that don't stink. If the crickets stink when they die then I don't know what can be done different....dubias are thriving! But, Chams. don't like the Dubias like they do Silkworms and Crickets. When they shoot a Dubia they sit there with it in their mouth before...
I am not sure what can be done because an infestation in my opinion is going to be close to impossible to get rid of....if we use a strong insecticide that has a residual effect then house a Cham on that plant, there could probably be detrimental effects on the Cham. Pothos thrive in my chams...
Mealy bugs are hard to get rid of
Three cages, three chams, three Potho's! Potho's were thriving, doing great and I noticed Mealy Bugs on one of the plants. Took plant and Chameleon that happened to be a female Panther outside, put female in a Ficus tree on the patio and hosed the plant down...
Sticky Traps!
Kind of surprised nobody has mentioned this......Sticky traps!! Buy a bunch of them and put them in places you have seen spiders and underneath sofas behind cabinets, underneath dressers, anywhere spiders might be lurking. Some spider species like Brown Recluses are a predator...
If anyone is in the West Kentucky area I have a surplus of fat well fed silkworms!
I'm feeding my 4 Chameleon's all they can eat and these 500 silkies are eating a HUGE amount of fresh picked mulberry leaves....PM me if interested.
I ordered 500 medium silkworms from Coastal Silkworms. I have never raised silkworms before. Silkworms arrived and they have done great. I have had a few small silkworms die but basically these things are a breeze. They arrived 4 days ago and I have been feeding them mulberry leaves........WHAT...
When gut loading our bugs, what are the favorite foods of your feeders? I have fed oranges, plums, apples, carrots, romaine lettuce, dandelion leaves, asparagus, sweet bell peppers, steamed sweet potatoes and others that I can't remember at this moment. Crickets and Dubia Roaches are the feeders...
I have played with this idea a little bit...an aquarium heater won't get the water much warmer than say 90 degrees. My tap water at home is about 130-135 degrees. Our pain threshold is somewhere 135-140 degrees. So, with that being said I put hot 130+ degree water in my Mist King reservoir and...
Time will tell!!!
Competition keeps people honest! If Arcadia beats Reptisun hands down everyone will be using Arcadia and Reptisun will have to step it up...Also, it is forums such as this that will bring out the truth. Consumers with meters doing their own testing and revealing their results...
MV better than T5 tube??
I am getting ready to purchase lights. But I didn't realize a mercury vapor is better than a tube....I was going to purchase 2-48" 6% Arcadia lamps but maybe I need to rethink this?
