Nah I use uh Flukers far as those go. Though I don't care as much about it so if Flukers wasn't in stock when I needed some I'd just buy something else. Kind of figure vitamins are vitamins in the end doesn't really matter as much as to who makes it.

After some research found why I can't find the shade dweller in the size my fixtures are. Darn thing doesn't exist lol. But that's ok I can swap to the D3 Forest that'll do the trick. Though after thinking further since the new habitat is going to be 30x30x24(or taller depending....) I'm...

I have a tub with some reptile carpet that I put him in every so often to let him run around and chase bugs. Just not every day. He just knows if he goes to the dish I'll either take him out or feed him with some tweezers. Eventually my thoughts to make a sort of play pin where Its easily...

Well it's just a Reptisun Desert 5 uvb bulb. Nothing too overly bright really but I am plotting to swap to an arcadia shade dweller bulb. When I do the plan is to get a comparison shot of the Reptisun 10uvb bulb, Desert 5 and Arcadia's Shade Dweller Bulb. I think Spots just doing his...

He's actually pretty good about it. When I took that he ate 4 small crickets and 3 meal worms then was done and wandered down to the water dish for a second before hanging in his cooler hide. He does know though if he goes there, I'll give him worms usually he'll go and lay there and be like...

Just an updated picture of spot hanging out by his food dish.

Will do, I'm still plotting his new terrarium which I think is going to end up being 30x30x24. But will likely swap out bulbs before then when I move to the dimming / proportional thermostat and the deep heat bulb. Also, the plan is to try and go more native habitat with the plants. Which...

Could upload to youtube then link it?

Yeah plants need light, but I'm pondering on switching my Desert T5 bulb over to a Shadedweller bulb which would be a bit dimmer and maybe help encourage him to wander a bit. Not sure really he's a bit quirky, he's not scared of me, Lets me pick him up though does seem to prefer I not do...

He's good so far, seems to like meal worms more than crickets. I keep thinking about adding dubia roaches to the list of foods but just haven't yet. Still plotting the construction on the new enclosure to get him out of the 75 and into something more like a 30x30x24, I think deeper...

The Herpstat ones seem like they too would do the trick. Cost is 50usd higher at 150 vs the 100 for the Exo Terra. Really not seeing a lot of options in the states though far as buying them. I'm either blind or not seeing anything in the US from Habistat. Then the Herpstat ones seem only...

Like these. https://habistat.com/products/categories/thermostats The dimming ones Say your tank needs to sit at 90 it'll lower the wattage to your heater rather than just turn it off and on or pulse. Yeah the proportional style is what i'm after I think. Hadn't gone that route in the past...

Some thoughts on it. I'm not sure how long the tanks been setup, but assuming thats black slate in the tank it could balance out more simply with time. Far as my more recent research has shown though I've not had experience yet with the concept. As Deep heat lamps run over the course of a...

Yeah if ya go the shirt route best to rinse it really well. Its just something I've seen help in the past. Nothing else the time thing generally works generally. Cept in the case of my friends Tokay Gecko who was simply forever angry. I think some lizards are just grumpy. Yours though...

Haven't had much experience with crested gecko's but the iguana i had started off pretty skittish. Was just a case of time with him and patience eventually he was perhaps the most tame iguana I'd met before. Though that said he did eventually give someone 4 stitches... But thats another...
