These were taken by my five-year-old point-and-shoot camera in a gimpy little light tent made up of a copy paper box, old T-shirt rags, two canvas boards, a piece of sketch paper, and two clamp lamps stolen off the top of my vivarium downstairs. XD In alphabetical order, why not. Freyja...

From smallest to largest. And sorry for the quality . . . my camera is terrible. All weights are as of 7/27/12. Kami-Sama, 4.0g, unsexed Loki, 7.0g, male Nitwit, 8.3g, probable male. Tweak, 10.7g, probable female. Blubber, 13.4g, male Skoll, 19.5g, male Hati, 30g, female Frejya...

My new boy. :D Received him yesterday in the mail from a breeder in New York. He can only get sexier as he grows up. He's currently 9g. I love his dorsal. He's about three quarters- to half-fired here . . . almost looks lavender when he's fired down. His fired up color is a...

This was my particularly pathetic and poor attempt at a light box with my Point-and-shoot Panasonic DMC-LZ7 on its Macro setting. The camera tends to wash colors out, even with the flash turned off, but . . . I think it did pretty okay. Learned a lot, though! *poinks a n00b stamp on her...

I bought a girl from the NARBC in Arlington a week ago. She's been bred before and the breeder told me she was last with a male in early September, then stopped laying after November. Whelp, she surprised me with some eggs this morning, but they both look slightly creased on one side (I'll try...

Here are a few photos of my new guys hanging out in their current setups. I've only had them a couple of days, so sometime next week I'll pull them out and get some better pictures. Oddment: Tweak:

A few things . . . I haven't done much lately and need to do more herp art, but I do love my dragons and fantasy beasts. Faolan Swift is also me. It's a pseudonym I'm in the process of adopting. Most of this stuff is oooooold . . . just haven't been drawing in the past couple of years.

With the exception of some bamboo that I'll be adding later for more climbing surfaces. But hey, it's planted, I added isopods and springtails, and all it's really missing are the herps! Plants are: Hedera helix variegated cultivar (variegated ivy) Davallia fejeensis (rabbit's...

Can anyone suggest a good digital hygrometer, thermometer, or combo thereof? The few that I've looked at have mixed reviews (failing early, readings being off, etc).

Here's the tank: Kittehs like tank. Claire is the tortoiseshell DSH and Cicada is the F6 Savannah (both rescues, spayed females). I plan on placing 2" of hydroballs, a screen divider, and then 2" of substrate in the bottom. I found an organic indoor plant place here in OKC that sells...

I originally bought some larger-sized aquarium pebbles for the base layer of my upcoming vivarium build, but after doing a bit more research, I believe I'm going to take them back and go for some hydroton/hydroballs. Where can you get them? Just online or do some common brick-and-mortar places...

Hello, all! I've been interested in getting a couple of crested geckos for, oh, at least six years now, but haven't had the opportunity. However, I believe that will be coming up! I have a 47g tall aquarium that I am going to convert into a vivarium. I've been doing a lot of research for the...
