    New owners, try bowl feeding your lizard!

    I would like to revise my bowl feeding tip a little, since I recently had a cricket get knocked out of the bowl into the substrate. I now put my gecko's crickets into a beaker. He gets a little confused if he approaches from a lower level. As long as he sees it from above, there's no issue.

    substrate for P. grandis thoughts

    Once again I have really tried to find my own answer. So far all of the discussions I have read covered leopards, Tokays, etc., but not grandis. I read the care sheet, but as I recall it presents several options. I'd love to hear what you guys use. If there's a big thread somewhere that I...

    Orchids in P. grandis terrarium

    I have searched for this, but did not find a direct answer. Are orchids, in general, safe to place in the terrarium? I know orchids are a huge group, but I mean the common species at home improvement stores, nurseries, etc. Also, what do you guys think of them, assuming they are safe? Thanks!
