I just want to acknowledge how great these two companies are. My order of crickets and hornworms were lost in shipping. Before I could even contact Fluker's, they had another shipment overnighted to me with sincere apologies.
The 4ft UV bulb I ordered from LLL Reptile was shattered when I...
They were all painted and let sit for a little over a week, then another week or so of assembly before anything was put it. It was minimum 18 days from paint to putting plants in then another 2 until Kirt went in. Misting being used on schedule for those 2 days.
We did paint the outside a few...
I actually have roll-up blackout blinds mounted on the three open side. I have the side opposite the fan pulled down. I can pull all three in the winter to help with humidity when my house is dryer.
Should I pull the front shade as well to help with the chimney effect?
Lighting is Automated. UV Bulb is 12hr cycle reptisun T5HO 46" 54W. Heat light is 60 watt Daylight Bulb that turns on 1hr after UVB and stays on for 8hrs. Also a 24" grow light on the one side of the cage for plants.
The screen is charcoal aluminum
I will definitely stop that!
I've been working on this. I have a fan at the bottom of the cage to try to create a chimney effect and it has helped. The dehumidifier is supposed to be here Tuesday. At night when the humidity increases I keep it much cooler. I run an air conditioner 24/7 and a...
I caught Kirt a little while ago with his left eye closed and he's been rubbing both eyes on branches. He is also rubbing both back feet and scratching behind his neck like a dog. He's eating just fine. The usual amount and targeting well. He doesn't appear dehydrated. He did shed about 10 days...
I'm using fans and my air conditioner runs nearly 24/7 year round! Asthma+Heat=Death for me. No exaggeration. It's happened once already!😵😇
But that's Pennsylvania in the spring...high humidity and greatly fluctuating temps. 🫤
I added a few fake plants to the outside of the enclosure to provide a little privacy. I'm having a humidity issue though. I can't get it to come down. I have a couple of small fans running but it's not helping at all. When I have a chance I'm going to fill out a husbandry form. I would be...
Unfortunately that's going to take a little time. There are 27 planters with assorted plants and 4 more plants to go in. Once everything grows in it should be ok. I literally can't fit anything else in there!
