hey folks any ideas on protein skimmers whats a good design and what makes it a good design who makes the best one and why who makes a lousy one and what makes...
I'd be careful about doing this. Animals seek out their own microclimates/habitats. Just because thye temps on e.g., Mt. Meru are 92F doesn't mean the animals...
Hey I have a problem with very persistant mold in one of my vivariums. Usually it goes away within a few months but this won't. It's like a thick white blanket...
Hi all My first line of defence against molds has been unfiltered sunlight. At this time of year it;s getting strong enough to beat back most molds. Your...
That sounds like a great idea but the way this tank it setup makes it basically impossible to get sunlight to the affected areas. Bummer. Kate RAVENsEYE...
I came home from the weekend to find my female Veiled chameleon dead on the floor of her cage. I was gone for three days but made sure to feed her well and...
my condolences I lost a snake a short time ago was a complete mystery the spider sack is a big ? though simple thing is to hatch the spiders and see what you...
I can't tell without a necropsy but the two greatest killers of chams are a) egg binding (dystocia) and b) subacute chronic dehydration. It worries me that you...
Ed, Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking that the egg mass might actually be a cocoon of an uneaten silk worm. As for watering her, well I generally mist my...
I give my chams a drip for 2-3 hours/day (about 1 gal. each). I don't think a few minutes of misting is enough. And dietary restriction for female veileds is a...
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and to vivariums. My daughter has 2 fire belly toads. She needs to do a terrarium for a school project and I would like to...
I remember those school projects from when my children were young. The SINGLE MOST DIFFICULT part about a child's school project is trying to convince them...
Hi! I am new here. I have made "terrariums" as a child and loved it! Have kept hermit crabs and turtles as a child as well. My son is starting a frog...
do a 3/4 water land deal they prefer deep water to hide in + less land will minimize possible escapes (they cant jump out of water) give them lots of...
Does anyone know anything wrong with using eggcrate as the sole drainage layer? It seems the perfect choice: several layers can make it as deep a you'd like,...
The answer is (IMO) that there would be a very dramatic line between "all water" and "dry land." With a layer of ceramic rocks between the two, I would think...
Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone could recommend a site or has personal experience with red eyed tree frogs. I am thinking about turning my 56 gal...
Yes, I have read many times that the eggcrate lighting store stuff is the best drainage layer, that would be taking the place of the gravel so you wouldn't...

... Hi Jenn, I have a couple of websites for you to check out. I'm just now looking into the same idea for my wife. These will get you started anyways. Let...
back in the day we used egg crate for everything seems that the old biosurge under gravel filters were a spin of of them if you ask me I still use em for...
For a layer of mesh over the egg crate, go to your local hardware store and checkout the stuff they sell for air conditioner/heater filters. I like the coarse...
I wish some other old timers would chime in here but I reiterate: the egg crate is NOT a substitute for a proper drainage layer. The drainage layer should sit...
Here's another that I refer people to: http://www.wnyherp.org/care-sheets/amphibians/red-eye-tree-frog.php A 56 has a lot of potential to be a great red-eye...
Check out the craft depts...ie wal mart's or hobby lobby...for about 45 cents you can get plastic canvas squares which are perfect, nontoxic, small mesh AND...
Hey all, I'm still battling the mold issue and thought I'd check again to see if anyone, who might not have seen the first email, would possibly have any...
How about a change in ventilation and/or lighting? What would happen if you aimed a halogen light at it? Edward I. Pollak, Ph.D. Department of Psychology West...
