... If they are what I think, they are a type of CF bulb with a built in ballast so they can be screwed into a regular light socket. Some people have used ...
I have the same problem. I'm thinking it may be the ambient humidity. Or maybe air circulation. I can't remember the names of the ground cover I've tried...
i've been watching this ground cover thread and decided to chime in. i use a few peperomia species as well as 'baby tears" along with the regular moss as...
Hi again! Thanks for all the feedback!!! As I promised, I have revised my plans :) Here comes my umpteenth zillion revision of ideas: 1) no crustaceans...
... I will wager the problems people are having with ground covers could be solved with more light. Common houseplants have become "common houseplants"...

That cage because of all of the work involved in the solid oak and the time milling and joining it all, as well as the thicker glass it was $4,500.00 CDN with...
hello a friend asked me today if there was a easy way of getting great stuff foam or other can foam stuff off of concreet and surfaces im not sure what it...
Brents right with the grass. when i build grassland tanks and such, the key is seed depth, lighting and water. if you water it too much it grow thin and...
Deven, I think you're right on with this. My observation would be that they're not getting "good draining substrate. just make sure the substrate drains good" ...
It is said to use acetone to remove uncured foam-if un cured it must be removed mechanically or allowed to wear off in time (I'm looking at a can of Great...
Thanks Scott and Deven. I've experimented with all different kinds of lighting and as of yet that still hasnt' done the trick. Never have I taken soil...
Hi! I am brand new to this group and am about to begin my first vivarium project. I want to take my time and build it all myself, and do a large amount of...
I have had two whites tree frogs for about three year now that are about the most personable, voracious herps alive! They are absolutely fearless, bark at any...
WOW, sounds like a wonderful life for a frog! I would have to nix the canned food idea. To much salt and preservatives. Dog food is chock full of corn, a...
Firebelly toads have some of the strongest toxins amongst amphibians, and as such they should not be mixed-in with other animals. As for waste clean-up, I...
I am glad to hear that your frogs are doing well and are very tame. However, I would refrain from feeding them any human or dog/cat food that comes in a can as...
it's not really the amount of light i believe at that level. in a jungle, tropical or forest, the amount of light hitting the ground where most ferns grow is a...
Hi all! Newby here! I kept a huge (90 gallon+) vivarium with White's Tree frogs and Madagascan day geckos (farmhomer, you're really feeding anoles to your ...
None. if you're building a paladarium with a good amount of mechanical filtration, water changes and provide a good land area the FBT's will do great but...
I would not feed frogs any canned food that is meant for humans, dogs or cats because: (a) the vitamins/minerals content might cause hypervitaminosis or some...
I'm keeping 3 tanks, a 100 gallon half n half, a 35 tall half n half, and a 20 high with a pseudo rainforest approach. I've used primarily pothos, java moss,...
isn't it true that toxins are only in the frogs that are captured in their native habitat???? and that these frogs will only become poisonous if they feed on...

Once in a while should not hurt, but I would be conserned about the salt levels in canned food, especially human food. I give my white's lots of crickets, silk...
I think that in many cases the contrary is true, there is actually more like than you might think in the forest. Even in deep shade you are getting about 200...
I came home from a jog today, looked in the mirror and found my face covered with dirt. Just another reminder that my hands were still coated with a mixture of...
... No, it is 99% the quantity of light. First, people will tell you that tropical forests are dimly lit. This is mostly BS. Even heavily covered forests...
