I got the impression that they'd mainly feed on fish and amphibians in the wild, but you'll have to keep us informed.

[Sitting_duck]

bummer...I guess we'll see...


edit-nvm, pinkies are way to costly anyways.

[Stefan-A]

You can always try scenting the pinkies.

Yeh I guess.

My heat lamp is heating things up way to much, i find I have to spray things down to keep the temp down constantly. Temps are hitting 95-100. So I stacked some wood beneath the lamp so it'd be further away from the tank. Any other suggestions?

[crzy_kevo]

my suggestion would be to get a lower wattage bulb or a lamp with a dimmer on it i have one with a dimmer

the one with a dimmer only cost me a couple bucks more

[Sitting_duck]

Me being 13 plays a big role in the cost issue. It's hard for me to afford things like this. If It's absolutely neccesary for one of my animals to live, then my parents will buy it if I don't have the money.

$20 things takes huge chunks out of my wallet.

[crzy_kevo]

true that does suck then another suggestion would be to position the light so that the the whole thing isnt shining into the tank that would problalby help

[Sitting_duck]

Maybe I'll just collect some bricks or more wood and make the light be very far away from the tank.

Another idea, get permission or help

Screw a cup hook into the ceiling over the tank, then hang the light by the cord from the hook, you can get the light up and off the tank without bricks or blocks that way.
