I can't wait until my new ploughshare finally arrives. I heard that the younger ones are still in the incubator or have just hatched, but afraid of hatchling yniphora, they are very vulnerable. I have a Large Naturalistic Terrarium for quarantine with eco-earth plantation soil. I have also planted some bamboo scrubs and added wheat grass and kentucky blue grass seeds in one patch. Also got a Zoo-Med Power Sun.

A few questions: Whats the difference between zoomed power sun and exo terra solar glo MVB? Which one is better? Can i use both?

Will post the pics as soon as they arrive, they are supposed to arrive in the next few weeks.

Thanks

Do you have any idea how lucky you are?


... I prefer the ZooMed MVB, and as long as your enclosure is big enough, you can use both.

The reason they are so endangered is due to direct removal from the wild which has been illegal for several decades.

Please breed them. This endangered species is in desperate need of help and removing them from the wild for pets is just inhumane. Your quarantine enclosure is on the small side; can you get a bigger one before it arrives?
