Is baby spinach ok for them to have? I've read so many different things, what are the best fruit and veggies for them?

I'm pretty sure spinach is not very good for them. I couldn't get Khaleesi to eat ANY fruits or veggies, I literally bought everything that I read was safe for them to eat. As it turns out, she really likes collard greens, but only out of my hand. Which is fine with me as long as she's eating them! I also occasionally give bananas as treats and try to mix apples and butternut squash into their salads.

Ty! I've given Hunter apples and cabbage but he only eats them when I hand feed him! Already spoiled

This one is Dexter's. She made it into her cave and spends more time under it than on it. I bought it at a reptile store here in the city. Luci's I ordered from Amazon, I should get it tomorrow. It said it was the same measurements so we will see.
View attachment 11728 View attachment 11729 I told her she had to model it for you!

I love the color too. Let me know if the Amazon one works out.

How often should I dust his crickets? Sorry so many ?'s, I just don't want to hurt him, I've already grown attacked: )

Its amazing how fast you can get attached to them.

 

[Nichole1228]

Yes it is!!

I got it today! It was the same size as Dexer's. He sat on it for a few hours earlier and seemed to like it, then I took him out to play and now he's sitting on his hammock on the other side of the thank LOL! I also tried the steam cleaner on his tank. It helped get some stuck on stuff off but my machine is so cheap that the steam wasn't that hot.

Bummer on the steamer. Well its good to know it fit him. Maybe he will use it more. I am creating my shopping list to slowly collect the things I want. Are the hammocks hard to clean? Do your guys poo on it? What is the name of the ledge and size you purchased on Amazon? Thanks!

 

[PatsyB]

Sometimes Luci poops on the hammock But it's plastic so you just scrub it with some water and a tooth brush. My only 2 problems with the Zoomed ones are the suction cups fail over time, I had to buy bigger ones at Menards. Also, the mesh around the suction cups starts to fray when the beardie gets heavier. I ended up sewing The suction cups on with plastic thread.

The ledge I got on Amazon is by MagNaturals. It's called MagNaturals Rock Ledge (Mojave, Large). The company is Pet-Tek it was $27.99 plus $6.94 shipping. They shipped it fast, I ordered Wednesday and got it Friday.

Thanks I have them on my to buy list. I am still having trouble with the humidity so I think I will add a small water fountain to his enclosure so he can drink & add some humidity. It is very low staying at 15-24% I am worried about hydration & shedding problems. Does anyone have a fountain in their enclosure?

I thought about a small fountain too but they are so expensive and I don't know if it will work. Someone gave me a desktop LED fountain for Christmas and I thought about using that but not sure if the paint on it would be toxic. I have their water bowls in their tanks and a humidifier going right next to them and I can only get it up to about 20% on a good day.

I really can't wait for spring!

They are expensive and the reviews are not great it seems like half of them the motor dies or it leaks so I keep going back and forth do I take a chance on one.

 

[PatsyB]

I do too! I read the reviews. I was at the petstore today and they had a small one for $30.. I was tempted but I've bought so many things that they didn't like or use.

 

[Dawn McNair]

How high or low is the humidity supposed to be?

 

[PatsyB]

30% no higher than 50.

 

[Dawn McNair]

Cool. Thanks!

I found more decor I liked. Since he still fits his current logs I will keep shopping until I decide what I want. There is nothing worse than finding what you want after you purchased something. I also like these Java wood perches & hides from Big Apple Pet supply. http://www.bigappleherp.com/Big-Apples-Java-Wood-Two-Pack-of-Basking-Perches?sc=2&category=2757

Those are nice!

Mushu's new water bowl came in today. I am sorry worried about hydration etc. so I hope this works and doesn't die on me. It didn't have the best reviews but took a chance as it was the cheapest choice in fountains & waterfalls. It is an Exo Terra Reptile fountain.So far he has just looked at it so hopefully it will raise the humidity and he will drink from it. The water runs down the rock to create moving water.Time will tell.

 

[PatsyB]

That's the perfect size, let me know how it works.
