Thanks for the info. It does have a port for ventilation and a nearby ceiling fan is running 24/7 but I may need to figure out more. I moved the light, an 18w...
Hi Kate I would go with Dr. Pollocks' suggestion and 'nuke' it with strong ultraviolet light, sun preferably, artificial if thats the only option. I am...
The springtails sound like a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I've used isopods before too. Just a little more info on the setup in case it...
Hi all, There seems to be a few fairly knowledgeable vivaria enthusiasts so I was hoping to get some opinions and ideas out of the group on a set up for my...
I always prefer the water feature in front but a vivarium of those dimensions can be a little tough for that. 18" just doesn't give a lot of room for water &...
I did consider running the water through the front, but completely agree that it would be too difficult for someone of my...new-ness to the whole arrangement....
first off this is what i have now http://kjbeanne.com/otherpets.htm and an empty 29 gal aquarium to work with... We have 2 leopard frog tadpoles, one...
Sounds like you have some great ideas for your tadpoles! From experience, Id be VERY careful with the bullfrog tadpole... they will eat EVERYTHING they can fit...

the way i set mine up is first put down some pea gravel( drain field) then if you go to any petco or petsmart they have pulverized coconut fibers ( they come...
Hi everyone! Ok, so I have a large old wood and glass showcase. It is at least 100 galons. I would like to make it a nice habitat for a reptile. It would be...
1) 100 gal. isn't that large and a larger reptile would certainly kill the plants. I'd recommend nothing bigger than a water dragon. 2) Plant growth requires...
You need to build a water tight enclosure inside the wood with glass or lucite, silicon caulk the inside seams..for that big of an enclosure, you might want to...
carnivores on the mind hey hey well concerning snakes thing about arboreal species is they tend to be snappy and not so easily handled Im presently building a...
You could put a few geckos in there, Phelsuma are gorgeous, but not handleable. Tokays are nice to look at, but can be agressive, Rhacodactylus would be good,...
But if you want something that has "personality" and can be (gently) handled, water dragons can't be beat. They're more active have a sort of "intelligent"...

I adored my basilisk plumifrons. I had them living in a bedroom we converted to a fish/reptile room. Every time I'd open the door to walk into the room the...
They're certainly gorgeous critters. But the questioner was asking about animals for a 100 gal tank and B. plumifrons is, IMO far too large for a set up of...

Much depends on your lighting. With 200 watts of compact fluorescent light you grow almost anything. Small ferns are always good. Ficus pumila (creeping fig)...
Very true. I forgot for a moment about the size of the tank and was just mentioning how truly awesome these guys are. "Pollak, Edward " <epollak@...>...
