Cool critters Goodness, what are you going to put in that large cage? I'd love to get an iguana someday, but I don't have the space for something that huge. I actually had the opportunity to get a free red iguana, but I had to pass it up. So sad.

[jpstodwftexas]

Not sure yet..but I mainly got it so I can grow large plants and Orchids.

I would love to get a couple of large species of Geckos.

I would love to get some Satanics or Leaf Tail Geckos or more Day Geckos

Wow! That's some serious critter keeping.

Yes. The daylight flo bulb + the halogen puck lights will work fine in conjunction with the calcium(with D3): vitamin powder dusting of whatever food you decide to offer. If you want to get a little more tech, you could even pick up a full screen enclosure to house them outdoors during the hot summer months. Just be sure to have them out of direct sunlight most of the day. This would really make some colors pop! There are abviously many risks to consider with this method, though.

Have you checked amazon/other for the book Day Geckos In Captivity, Professional Breeders Edition: Day Geckos, or Geckos: edited by Julie Bergman? This would be my best advice and I guarantee you will find answers to most of your questions in there on top of using this great forum.

have fun,

Hey, guys. I've finished the basics of my tank; I decided to go with a vivarium after all. I think it looks pretty nice I have yet to add bugs... It's a bit cold for earthworms and rollie pollies, but I figure I can get the worms from a bait shop, at least. As for the springtails, does anyone know where I could order some? And are they really worth it? I have the daylight bulb in now, but the puck light was a bit complicated, so my boyfriend's going to look at it for me. If the tank is a certain temp without it, do I really need the halogen light? Also, the bamboo is from Michaels Craft Store. It looks like it was stained on the outside. I washed it with hot water and baked it in the oven (no idea if that would do anything-- I was just baking the leaves and decided to try). Is this a problem? If so, I'll get some from somewhere else. Looks nice, though. So, here it is:





Any suggestions or critiques would be welcome and appreciated!
