The reason I wanted to plant it deeper is because the base is all brown and gross looking. There are some brown leaf remnants that I trimmed off, and I wanted to plant it to where it was green....

My n. miranda just had a pitcher open, and is about to make a new one. The node on the end of a new leaf is swollen, so I can tell in about a month there'll be a new pitcher. I got my plant about a...

I can't really find any info on this nep. It's just about to make a pitcher, and I was wondering if anyone has a caresheet or something. Is there another nep that's similar to miranda that I could...

I wanted to know how to keep my leaves green and waxy and healthy. Does anyone have any strategies?

It's been almost a year since I got my miranda. I don't have the most technologically advanced setup for it; it's in a pot with a fish bowl over it to retain humidity. It has been making leaves for a...

Someone please help me. As some of you know, I've had my ventricosa in my vivarium with firebellied toads for a long time. It's been in standing water, but seemed to like it. I mean, it was making...

My newt just molted today! I saw him acting all weird with his legs real close to his body. Then he started to writhe and eat his skin. I've seen toads do this, and I kinda just forgot that a newt...

That makes sense, I guess. I really want it to pitcher though. If it won't start to make pitchers soon, I guess I'll take it out of the vivarium. It just looked so cool with living things near it......

I'm using just a regular flourescent plant light that is on about 15 hours a day. I don't have a timer or anything, so I just turn it on in the morning when I leave for school and turn it off around...

Yeah, I guess that I'll have to hold off on buying one for a little while because I'm going to college, but I won't let the dream die....

I've had a ventricosa for about 10 months that I've nursed back to health. When I got it, it only had one leaf. Now it has about 4 or 5, and another should unfurl any day now. I keep it in my...

Where would I get other kinds of scorpions besides emperors? I didn't know any other kinds were sold. And, are the other kinds more dangerous?

Yeah they would catch them with their pinchers and bring them to a second set of pinchers in their mouth that would mulch them up. In 3 or so years I owned scorpions I only picked them up two-three...

Haha. Thanks guys. I'm so excited.

Thanks, I probably should have looked there first.

Well, in Pennsylvania it's beginning to get warmer, so I can get earthworms from outside. Now my newt is eating earthworms. Newts eat so much slower than other animals. My fire-bellied toads, and...

Cool, they would actually rip the crickets apart? That seems mean, but cool. Are you able to handle emperor scorpions? That would be awesome. Man, I want one so badly...

This program is more oriented with the study of animal husbandry, care, and training. I'll watch out for the Gibbons. Thanks for the advice....

There's this major at Delaware Valley College in southeastern PA called Zoo Science. It's very competitive, only accepting 20 people per year. I'm so happy that I was accepted, because unlike a major...

I've wanted to buy a scorpion since I was about 10 years old. First of all, I'm going to college next year, so I probably won't be able to bring a scorpion, even if it's in a closed container. Does...

Not only are springtails good for the substrate, they're fun to watch bounce around! http://www.petflytrap.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I have a whole lot of sundew seeds that I got in the mail last summer. I think that I'm going to try to plant them soon. I hope they're still good, because I haven't kept them in a refridgerator or...

I want to post a picture of my vivarium, but I don't know if the picture has to be online or not. If it does, I won't be able to post it because I don't have a web site or anything. Can anyone help...

I thought that fire-bellied newts were the only other amphibian that could live with fire-bellied toads. They have them that way at the pet store that I go to. Are you absolutely sure about this,...

I'm also late in responding to this post. Thanks for all your help guys. I'll try to get pics up soon. So far, my newt is still alive, but I can never tell if he eats the pellets or if my toads knock...
