I too am planting with natives combined with silk; some successes, a lot of failures most of which was from my lack of knowledge of native plants some of which must go dormant in order to thrive,...
A plastic bin, out of direct sunlight, filled with rainwater or if you use tap water make sure it is treated with Reptisafe (Amazon.com carries it too). Spring Water will do too but never Distilled,...
Hope he's doing o.k. Grey Tree Frogs are my favorite. When you put him in the Spring Water or rain water (not tap water or Distilled water), you might want to warm it up slightly. They do seem to...
I feed my Greys silkworms along with Turkish Runners. wild caught moths and sometimes store bought Banded Crickets. The Silkworms are expensive and messy so I've switched to Butterworms which are...

I have a Butterfly Net that I run across the grass in the back yard. I scoop up hundreds of newborn insects in early Spring, they won't pose a biting problem. Even the grasshoppers are small and I'm...
It's been 7 months. The day has finally arrived for me to release my rescued Hyla chrysoscelis into their outdoor transition habitat before final release. They were tadpoles rescued from a dumpster...
Yes, you're right about using natives and that excites my mind with creativity. My outdoor enclosure will be 6' tall. Although there are plenty of small pines I can put in pots, the sap might be a...
I'm constructing an outdoor vivarium for my rescued Grey Tree Frogs. They were tadpoles in a garbage bin and now they are ready for release, however, nearby construction has eliminated many tree and...
Perhaps Hot Hands Hand Warmers, or battery operated heated socks.
It happens every year. I find Grey Treefrog tadpoles/froglets in my water troughs in late summer. I enjoy caring for them in my vivarium but due to their small size and winter temperatures in the...
In addition to your recommended substrate, which works great, I have had success adding a fist full of dampened Sphagnum Moss to the roach bin. It's humidity seems to promote the ejection of healthy...
My Grays are 3 yrs old. In the winter, here in NC, I keep my house between 63 - 65 at night. They've gone into brumation every winter. This year, after the heater kicked on drying out the air in the...
Gail - You've grasped their souls in these exquisite photos. I can't pull away.
His quality of life was exceptional. The idea of catch and release restores nature. Rufus will always be remembered.
Mosquito Dunks will do the work and if you crunch them up, they'll last you all summer if you sprinkle only a tiny amount; no more than the size of 2 grains of rice. It goes a long way. I haven't had...
Yes you just might get tads. Remember to not use tap water and to watch temperature of water. Bird baths tend to be a little shallow and sometimes get too hot or dry up. Snakes, birds and pets may...
Photo 3 to the right: Priceless.
"I'm so good at watching over my stash of crickets and roaches and nobody will ever find it."
By now you've made your decision and it is indeed a difficult one to make. I release, after raising many Copes from tads found in my water troughs each year. I place them on trees often filled with...
Advertised "Purify & Lights Up your terrarium all at once." I wonder if the use of this product will destroy necessary & beneficial bacteria in any viv, particularly in healthy soil substrate...
They glow with red hot passion. Oh yes, I remember that well.
I have had success calming down odor by using FeederSource's Odor Control, a synthetic soil consisting mostly of very finely ground charcoal and vermiculite; about the size of ground coffee....
I have too many Turkish Roaches in Rubbermaid Containers and need to separate the sizes for selling. Any ideas on how to do that?
