Set up a night-time tank-side vigil with a red light and a glass of wine :)

Two things I recommend for moving really fast Ts 1. Do it in the bathroom - close the door, plug the bathtub or shower drain and block any vents. Now if they get out they arent lose in your bedroom or somewhere else where there are lots of hiding places. 2. Ts/spiders typically run and then...

Is that blueish/greenish color true to how they look in person? If so, that is a beautiful color!

Thanks for your help! I will go the no heat pad route for now, and can always add one later on in the fall/winter if I notice he/she is refusing food or getting sluggish. Two last questions: How important is it that the packed sand/clay substrate be 100% dry before I put it into its new...

Oh RIGHT. I forgot about the SUICIDE ATTEMPT! And thanks Akai! :D

You bring up a good point, and I think I have to side with PETA on this one. When I first brought home my H. lividum, it was out in the open of its enclosure and enjoyed the sunshine. Then, after being away from its friends for a week or so, it dug a hole, and now does nothing but sit in that...

If it is eating and active without the additional heating, is it safe to say that I am good to go without additional heat? Or does temperature play a role in successful molting?

Thanks for your help- that makes sense to me :)

I just got my first scorpion, a Hadrurus arizonensis. I have been making layers of approx. 25% excavator clay and 75% sand, wetting it until it clumps when i make a fist, and then packing it down solid and drying it out for 4 days per layer. I have about 5-6 inches now, and am letting it...

They are very messy eaters. My red belly cooter does this thing where if he doesnt really like what you have fed him he takes it in his mouth, chews it up, and then blows it out his nose :/ Classy.

He has such a cute little face :)

Post pictures of your set up! So far my plants are holding in there! They are mostly ignoring them, but seem to like to sleep there at night.

I made these the other day... Just waiting for the silicone to dry. Hopefully they will stand up to beating they will take from the turtles! Also need to add more carbon to the filter or something. My filter is rated for 400 gallons (fluval fx6) but my water is already looking cloudy. Sent...

Turtles added! going to try and get plants in there tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2

here is the new tank! 120 gallons... The turtles and I are on our way home tomorrow. I can't wait to put them in there! I will post more pictures as I finish up the tank with lights , rocks, plants etc. All is well here :) where did you end up moving to? Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2

Bahaha fantastic! Er, I mean that is too bad and I am glad it was found safe and sound. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2

I love the cork/ bark you used on the background, and the plant as well. It looks really pretty. I would seriously consider putting some wire screen and rubber washer type things over those holes though. You won't have to remake the lid, just cut a circle of screen and use the rubber washer...

Lovely gecko. We had one that got lose in a pet store where I worked. There were so many lose crickets and nice warm places for him to go, he thrived. Every night at exactly 9pm he would start barking...it was always fun to watch the customers reactions when they heard him start up!

I keep mine dry and with a water dish ( that is what was recommended to me by the breeder I got it from). I feed smallish sized crickets once a week - it eats like a monster :) Here is a pic of its temporary home. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2
