Any issues with that much weight on a second story? I have a 180g tank that, filled, weighs less than that and we added supports to the joists. Just wondering...
Greetings -
I have a pair of young adult (sub 2 year) ackies for sale or possible partial trade. They produced a first clutch late last year which perished when we experienced a lengthy power outage (and then the incubator reset itself for 60F). All were viable - and at around 80 days.
I...
Got my trio in May and at least one of the females had laid at the breeders home the night before I picked them up. So I've been waiting a while!
It's been a challenge and I am very grateful to Steve from Repti-racks who took a lot of time to help me dial in my conditions to get them to the...
In my case, just getting my ackies to the point where they will lay eggs (7 eggs in the incubator now) is a very time and money intensive process. From the cost of the monitors, to the 1000+ crickets a week (no, they don't eat 1000 between them. More like about 600, but die-off and the beardies...
You might be lucky and find some yellows at less than $300, but not reds. I'm trying to breed yellows now and don't plan to let the babies go for less than $350. There just aren't many breeders and they take a lot of dialing in to get em to breed - and then you still have eggs and hatching. It...
Depending on your criteria, and one of those was keeping as a pet plus legal - wouldn't that be a black throat?
There's bigger, crocs, but as someone said (and check out the PE website for their take on crocs), they ain't good pets. And there's bigger but not legal.
Seems black throat is the...
If you think about it, you need two figures: the weight in area, like pounds per square foot and the total weight.
Weight per square foot, even in a cage like this, will be both substantial (perhaps 300lbs/ft) and not much to worry about. If you have a large bookcase, like I do, you can EASILY...
300lbs? You need to rethink your weights. Soil averages 80-100lbs per cubic foot. So, 8x5x3 = 120. You're talking much much more weight than you are thinking. I just did a 6x3 with nearly 900 lbs of soil. And I have 12" deep. I carried each bag.
Where the heck have you seen red ackies for $150??? I'd buy 10 at that price! $350-400 is what I've seen. $300 when purchased in trios. Love to see an ad for $150!
I gotta tell ya, I love watching my ackies. Now that they are in a larger cage, they are fairly active. In the small cage, they'd come out for food and basically go back in the stack or in the hides. In the larger cage, they are out and active from about 5am till around 3pm. After that, the...
I maintain two designed basking spots: 130 and 110. I say designed because those are "my" created spots. The ackies, on the other hand, have their own spots. Neither of which is under the lights. Like Kinabo, my guys have decided it's too hot in my spots. They might get up in the morning and lay...
And how would you maintain a 75 spot in the summer? I believe you mentioned you live near the coast. Most of California's inland - and much of the rest of the country - is going to be 100+ for three to five months of the year. Short of introducing an ac unit to the enclosure or maintaining temps...
