I'll definitely try breeding some supers, and I haven't actually tried night crawlers, although my tiger salamander does love them. One thing that surprised me was that I once got some feeder guppies for my tiger, who actually likes the water! And I gave one to my skink just to see what would happen, and she loved it. What a surprise! But yeah the vitamins in worms+supers are good along with their protein so ill get on trying to breed some. BTW do they need light or can I keep them in a cabinet beneath my 150 gal?

They couldnt care less about the light food and warmth are all that's needed.
I have never thought about guppies and sally... Hm, i should get some when he is healthy.

I'd even try goldfish if Sally is big enough, when I gave Saphira the guppy she liked it but it could have been much bigger and she could still have handled it.

So my materials will be here on friday, i did a HUGE amazon order. I cant wait to start, but i do have one not so small issue. Around the top edge of the glass, there are hard water/mineral stains, and i have tried vinegar, windex, and just plain scrubbing to get them off. I have heard that steel wool works but im kinda worried that that would ruin the glass. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about getting it off, and also, what would the viv look like if i couldnt get the stains off, bcs my other vivs havent had this problem.

I spray really stubborn hard water with straight vinegar and then use a scotch-brite (green scrubby) pad. Then rinse rinse rinse.

[AlexanderSalamander]

Ill definitely try that, what are your thoughts on the steel wool? Im thinking that I wont risk it.
