i'm in pa with a 22000 acre park behind my house with tons of oak trees. i seriously think you can find a good source near you though. our state if full of oaks. just google "oak leaves" or "oak trees'' and then draw a basic picture of the leaf shape on a piece of paper and take it with you...

yep, then it's just a waiting game then. :)

cool spring I see you're in Maryland and we had a pretty cool spring, so they might be just a few weeks behind. Unless for some reason all your cocoons were parasitized, they should hatch. It'll be worth the wait. p.s. if in a couple weeks they still aren't emerged, PM me and I'll help you...

http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Oddball,%20Lungfish.htm just a simple google search got me this.

Yeah, I'd just keep waiting, especially since your first one just went last week. The other two might have been "laid" significantly later than your first one or something, so it's really just a waiting game. Not familiar with techniques for determing fertile or not in this case, but I...

Examine the unhatched oothecae for the appearance of any holes, etc. Assuming these are collected in the wild, and depending on your location, they may have already hatched out earlier in the season. If no holes present, just keep waiting. :D

yep, that's right and unfertile eggs turn dark and get sunken in shortly after they're laid, whereas fertile ones stay white/cream colored and whole.

hey, well i said what i did not to preach at you or accuse you of hogging or anything. . .just really expressing a thought. i live in an area that used to have wild cecropia moths, but now has none. . .primarily due to agricultural pesticide usage and the Bt spray programs for Gypsy moths...

these moths aren't endangered, but they are becoming increasingly rare or even absent altogether in many parts of the country due to the overuse of chemical pesticides and spraying programs against the Gypsy Moth. If at all possible, try to let them go somehow so they can breed, rather than...

go for it man! :D i was just posting my 2 cents to help you think it through. make sure to post some pictures when you get em. Enjoy! :)

please confirm for me. thanks.

well it sounds like you're really into the crested geckos. just remember they are plentiful in the hobby and you can buy them from reputable dealers online (many of them here on AB even) where you know they were well-maintained, etc. Chain stores just continue to prove themselves unworthy of...

hi, well i would assume you've already got a preference in mind before you even posted, but you're really just looking for someone to confirm that for you one way or the other. in my book, nothing beats being able to see (and in your case, hold) the animal you're going to purchase to...

wow, that's a nice one you've got! i wish i'd seen mine now and then. I got her around 2.5 inches and she walled herself in the hide i gave her and i haven't seen her since. molted once, but too beat up to sex the skin. i hope she grows up fast so i can hopefully see her more often!!

well i'm not worried about it. Ts do what they want and she's just chllin up there. :) that's the fun of keeping Ts, right, they're unpredictable!! :D

mine only has a patch of hair on the tip of the abdomen and the rest is bald, so i can definitely see a darkening of the bald part with what i assume is an indication of premolt (that and having stopped feeding). she did spend a day hovering over her water dish too, so i thought maybe that...

i don't know, maybe a King Baboon. It'd be kinda fun to walk around all day throwing threat displays and hissing at people. LOL!! ;P

mine's just recently taken up doing the same thing. could it be related to a change in the weather/season somehow? she's also entered premolt recently and stopped feeding, so maybe that has something to do with it.

the only way to really know is obviously for you to check her for bleeds and keep a close eye on her over next few days for possible curls or odd behavior. i wouldn't suggest handling a baboon anyway, esp not with less experienced folks who won't listen to your advice. :)

just so you know, the wheel bug (which I agree you have a nymph) has one of the most painful documented bites on record. there are articles online about it, so you might want to read up. :) Just thought you should know.
