    Default My new addiction ...

    Hey I'm Chris & my gf was nice enough to pass on her addiction of reptiles to me when she got me a FBT for Xmas that we named Spike & now I already want more.. Lol.

    Well After reading up a lil on them on google I went to the pet store & bought a exo terra UVB bulb to use with a dome light on a timer 12/12, moss, h20 conditioner drops to treat my tap water, reptocal powered nutritional supplement to dust the crickets every other week or so( this stuff was suggested by the guy at the pet store).... oh and I ended up buying another FBT so Spike wasn't lonely that my gf named Karai

    For a temporary tank I'm using the tank she gave me with spike until I can decide on which tank would be best for me cuz of my disability & the FBT's. To make it simple I'm a dwarf so the regular tank maintenance is difficult on me with a standard tank like I'm using now having to access from the top only. But Right now I'm liking the exo terra rainforest kit 12x12x18 which would make my life a lot easier with the front doors & give them some height since they seem to like to scale up on everything I put in there current tank.. Lol. I was going to do a removable water area for ease of changing it regular, was also going to get the waterfall with fogger to help keep the humidity up

    Right now there current tank setup is prob 75/25 water, there's thin layer of aquarium gravel along the bottom then moss, 2 rocks that was boiled b4 using & tupaware container for there water area ... They seem to be happy tho wit it there both climb on anything I put in & enjoy the hiding area I gave them. Feeding time sucks with the moss since the crickets crawl down in the moss & I like to watch to make sure both FBT are getting the same amount & that Karai isn't being a hog like I noticed she will do .. Lol... but I feed them each about 4-7 crickets a week & dusting the crickets every other week a day b4 feeding time. The tank temp stays at a 65-70 & the humidity varies from 45-80... If I don't mist at all it stays at 70 degrees 50 humidity... But I try to mist them twice a day which keeps the tank at 70 degrees 70ish humidity... I have the dome light sitting on top of the screen and a towel covering the remainder with the light on a timer

    I'd appreciate any tips or ideas tank setups that would benefit Spike & Karai & make regular maintence easier on me

    I added some pics of my current tank setup & a couple of Spike (he's darker color) & Karai

    chris
