I've got 3 leos that have enjoying the outdoors all summer in a pen. The have all sorts of grasses and leafy vegetables that they have been eating from all summer. The problem is that they have wiped most of it out and although I have planted new stuff...it is taking awhile to get established...
I got this G.p.p from Tom in late October, early November of 2010. Unfortunatly, I have not been able to keep him as smooth as many of yours. Although not from lack of trying. But he is health and eats well. He loves his outdoor enclosure as well. Just wanted to get him up on this thread...
I just received 2 yesterday. I've been waiting since October.
I chatted with the guy on the phone for awhile and he said that they now have another manufacturer for the glass and should have enough stock starting January to keep a steady inventory.
Apparently they test each bulb for...
I asked for this for Christmas

I don't have a review for the product yet, but I have read a lot of mixed reviews on the other misters and foggers put out by some of the big name companies. Most complain about the motors going out in...
Thanks...I guess I should have explained my equipment situation.
I don't plan on using that much, I just have it. I kept and breed snakes and lizards in my classroom for years. the equipment left over from that. I can't keep the reps in my classroom anymore and the wife didn't want them...
I have read a lot about humid hide boxes, but can't seem to find any specifics on how to heat them so they stay humid. I am transitioning my 3 leos from 10 gallon aquariums (which have been kept humid) to a new tort table that I have been building.
I have two rubbermaid hides that I plan...
No signs of being septic. Is now 59g. Sorry I didn't post right away. I plan on getting fecal over xmas break just to be sure, but I am pleased he gained a little finally.
Tonight is the big weigh in. It has been a week, since his last weigh in. He has been eating well, is still active and has regular solid poos. I will post the results tomorrow (cause I know you have all been waiting on pins and needles).
So I found a liquid vitamin D-3 supplement at the Vitamin Shoppe. It claims that is has 400 Iu's per five drops. Could I safely assume that one drop is roughly 80 Iu's?
I have 2-100 gram leos. I'm a little rusty on the conversions, but I do believe that approx. 100 Iu's per day would be...
I purchased a G.p.p's on sunday, nov. 14th. My new leo has been eating everyday, he gets soaked everyday and he is kept both humid and warm. He its pooping regularly and seems healthy, but he has yet to gain any weight. He weighed 49 grams the day I picked him up and still weights 49gr today...
I've just noticed a small abnormality in one of my leos shell. Its very small now but looks like it could possibly turn in to some of the pics of shell rot that I have seen. I don't have camera now, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do or get that can prepare me if it gets worse...
From what I have experienced and what I have read, it can take a little while for them to get used to it. Some even say that they can't get their torts to eat it at all.
I grind mine up in a blender to a fine dust and then sprinkle it over the greens like I would the Ca powder. Mine eat it...
I don't have any research data on Ca or other supplements to add, but I have a couple thoughts and questions.
BTW, very interesting thread...Thanks TOM.
I have read numerous research articles (for humans) that suggest that most vitamin supplements aren't necessary and really only give a...
I am currently using both products. My leos dont really love the grassland like they do the Mazuri, but I have figured out how to get them to eat it. Not necessarily cause I think it is better, but because I paid for the grassland and do not want to throw it away.
I put the grassland...
it is a fluorescent...plain Ca. I do feed occasional opuntia and sprinkle finely chopped Timothy hay on "salad." Temp is 90 ish in hot spot...80 in cooler spot.
