    Bean weevils - Acanthoscelides obtectus?

    I think that is the species name, but I'm not sure. I recently got some of these from a friend at a reptile show. Originally they were just for my darts, but they are so easy to breed (just need a fruit fly container and black eyed peas) that I was thinking about using them for my baby day...

    problems with shedding

    I have been having some on and off problems with a few of my baby P. mad. grandis. Its only been a few of them, and its only every once in a while. The ones that have the problem are having incomplete sheds. Some of the shed skin stays stuck to them, often around the feet. I can't figure out...

    Costa Rica!!!

    I'm going to be going to the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica in May (only 1 month away!!!) and am needless to say, excited! Oh, and I will be stopping over in a cloud forest, and in some mangrove habitat too. I am going with my school for a class on neotropical ecology, which is awesome. I can't...

    Misting babies

    I breed a few things, and sometimes have a ton of babies, so misting can be a pain. I have a misting system for most of my larger cages, but nothing like it for the babies. That means that I must manually mist all the babies' cages with a pump up sprayer. On nights when many babies are here, it...

    New gargoyles!

    Just sharing my excitement. I took the pics very quickly, so, sorry for the lower quality. I've got 3 juvies which I traded one baby crested and $80 for. They all have a bit of red, which doesn't show well in the pics. The one in the second picture is actually covered in red when fired up. I...

    Thinking about Lepidodactylus lugubris

    So, I've got a show coming up soon, and was thinking of getting some of these with my profits. I've only heard good things about them. Is there anything bad about them? Also, does anyone have any advice or just general info on them? I've done alot of studying up on them, but I want to make sure...

    Tired of "heroin tales"?

    I am. I don't understand why when some people find out that I like reptiles, snakes in particular (arachnids too for that matter), they immediately decide that it is of utmost importance to tell me about some snake or spider that they have beheaded, chopped up, sliced, squashed, smashed, or...

    Ptychozoon breeders?

    Just curious how many people are working with this genus. So, what species, how many, have you had any luck, and how are you keeping them? Myself, I've got a 1.2 trio of P. kuhli right now. No luck as of yet. Mine are in a 37 gal. (30x12x21 inches tall) planted with bromeliads and zzplants...

    P. mad. grandis baby set up

    I was just taking some pics. What do you guys think about this baby set up/ how do you keep your babies? These are 1 gal. jars, lids are screened, heat tape on the bottom, UVB on top. I'm going to add to the adults cage soon (37gal). Just finished cleaning some bamboo for it, and I'm going to...

    Cleaning collected wood?

    I just collected some bamboo and trimmed it the way I want it. I'd like to clean it before I use it, but I'm not sure what to use. Any suggestions?

    Funny story

    Several years ago I purchased my first crested. Since then, my colony has expanded exponentially. Right now, I have about 20 breeders, 10 holdbacks for next year, another 20 juvies, and around 10 or more eggs in the incubator. They are just now starting to pick up production for 2008, and I have...

    P. kuhli egg retention/reabsorption

    Hey guys, I have 1.2 of these and the females appear to be gravid every so often. They stay this way for about 1.5 to two weeks and then slim back down, but I never find any eggs. All 3 are healthy and eat great. They are housed in a 37gal tropical setup. Plants are philodendron, bromeliad, and...
