Hey steve. Will you please look at this pic? I jus saw that thing on the shell. It looks kind of grayish-black. I dont know how to describe it. I hope that it isnt any serious thing.

Oh and i got the can o crickets 5-6 days ago and ive been keeping it in the fridge now it kinda smells bad :@ . Should i throw it out? I followed the instructions on the can (close cap and put in fridge).

[steve]

I can't tell much from that picture. Have your RES been basking?

I'd toss those crickets. Next time, you can probably freeze some to preserve them. Did you get the mini kind?

[djjoni2]

Well hes hardly basking idk why . When im arround he doesnt bask. I have seen him a couple of times bask. Yes i got the mini kind

[steve]

Can you post a picture of your setup?

[djjoni2]

The lamp that you see is just the regular bulb and the uva uvb light is just abit above. You can see the white clip that is the uv/a/b

[steve]

Looks pretty good, maybe cover the sides to give him some privacy. What's the basking temp?

[djjoni2]

Hey Steve i just saw that brad is basking on the seashell . Hes just chillin out there. The turts ate my fishies and left just 1 . Well im still gonna get a fishtank on saturday. Can you give me an idea of what fishes i should get? (sorry i know that this isnt the appropriate forum for discussing fishes). Peace

[steve]

Good to hear! I don't keep fish but several people do... you just need to find their posts. Here's one from Linus... viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30153

Hey guys i have a PROBLEM! Remi is biting Rocky on the neck . I seperated them. I left rocky in the tank and put remi in the baby turt's aquarium and i moved the little ones in a small bucket . What should i do?

[steve]

You'll likely have to permanently separate them. Since you have males, you can probably split a larger 120-150 gallon tank.

Hey guys i separated remi and rocky . I would like to ask you a question about the uva/b lamp. I wounldnt like to spend another 50 bucks on another lamp. Can i use the bulb for both terariums as shown on the picture ? Peace

A compact UVB doesn't have a very effective range to begin with. If you can get them bask under it, then it's better than nothing. Your next UVB bulb should be one of those long fluorescent tubes.
