    First time owner of two Red Eye Tree Frogs

    not hard at all, I had mine breed for me. I had one tube for breeders and one for feeders. Just keep them on a shelf or something like that away from sunlight or drafts.

    the fruit flys actually cant fly, they crawl. I used to feed them to my baby anoles I would find who were beaten up by something. I would feed them and care for them until they were well enough to go back to the wild. I kept mine at room temp and they did fine.

    For now they are eating crickets, I breed roaches but they wont touch them so for the first time in six years I have bought crickets. Their temps range from 72 at night to 75 during the day.

    silverside fish

    I work at Petco and we sell a frozen fish there called a silverside. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them and if they would be something I could add to my tegus diet. They are a whole fish about 3 inches long and they come in a flat brick so there are about 200 of them.

    They are in the tank but yes she has plenty of room to get away from them. I have it hooked at one end of the cage. The UVA/basking lamp is about 10 inches above the basking spot and the same with the UVB light. The cow skull sits next to the basking spot to give another spot to bask at a lower...

    Aleady making plans for his bigger cage. Thinking 8ft L X 3ft W X 3ft H with a foot of soil for him to dig in. Also the door will open from the front. All of my cages i build open from the front. Less feeding response when you go to pick them up and I tend to be able to withdraw quicker if they...

    [attachment=0] to give you a good size of him when he sits on the cow skull it is about two inches longer than he is. In the pic he is burrowed under the water bowel so I didnt want to upset him. The person I got him from said he is a Black and White Columbian. Time will tell.

I have the UVB tube along with a 100W UVA basking bulb. He has about 4 inches of eco earth to burrow in...
