    Can't decide what to get

    I have a 65 gallon reptarium and I would like some kind of animal to put in it. I can't decide on a lizard or frog or anything. Anyone have any suggestions? Something not too expesive.

    CFL Warning

    Junk Science: Light Bulb Lunacy Sunday, April 29, 2007 By Steven Milloy How much money does it take to screw in a compact fluorescent lightbulb? About $4.28 for the bulb and labor — unless you break the bulb. Then you, like Brandy Bridges of Ellsworth, Maine, could be looking at a cost of...

    Micro Mosquito vs Leopard Geckos

    I was flying my Micro Mosquito in the second bedroom, not usually where I fly it, and noticed that my Leopard Geckos where taking interest in the heli. I thought it was funny so I made this quick video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAwwHbKgzvI

    Greetings from Mid-Michigan

    Greetings from Mid-Michigan! I’ve been lurking here for a couple months now and thought it a good time to join in on the fray. I’m a newbie to the CP world. I’ve had VFT’s on and off over the years but always managed to kill them pretty quickly. The store-bought VFT that I have now survived...

    why parents have grey hair

    A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed nicely made up and everything neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, "Dad" With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands...

    PC-safe insecticides

    About two weeks ago we started noticing a bug or two flying around our kitchen sink.  We didn't think much of it until a few days had gone by and these things became a major pest.  Anytime you walk into the kitchen, bedroom, or one of the bathrooms you can see at least 10 or 20 on the...

    Crate training tips?

    Anyone got any crate training tips for me? My bf and I adopted a dog from the pound about 2 months ago. She has had quite a history so far and she's only 1. We have to take her everywhere with us because she freaks out when she's alone. That means when we go grocery shopping together, the doggy...

    Dormancy

    I'm trying to figure out how to do dormancy for my Typical VFT (and my Sarracenia flava "Rugelli"). I'd prefer not to do the fridge method for a variety of reasons, but temperatures go freezing for long periods here and sometimes hit as low as zero, so outside would be a bad idea too. I'm...

    Hey! I have had my VFT's in a terrarium for about three weeks now. They are in a perlite-peat moss mixture. I have started noticing small to medium gnats (they look like a cross between circkets and flies and are a brownish color with wings). Are they harmful to the VFT's??? Should I worry...

    Movin' time!

    So today I got the OK call on a rental house for me and my roommate to move into. It doesn't have everything we wanted (no garage, kind of small for a three bedroom) but it's better than this tiny apartment and our loud, nosy neighbors. The landlords are super nice and said I could do the...

    Drosera Capensis: 15 days later

    I just decided to post this because I always enjoy looking at how other people's plants are progressing. Hopefully others do too! My Cape Sundews went through a lot the past few months. When I moved in November, I had them away from my window on a tall armoire. I was busy with the new house &...
