Hi everyone, I want to say first off, I enjoy reading all your threads and post. You all are very helpful. With that being said here is my question or poll. I am raising young from eggs but now that they are almost an inch long I wonder if I could put them into a small aquarium say a 10 gallon, I was thinking of running a small filter but putting a sponge or very fine net around the pick up of the filter. Right now I have them all in tupperware containers but doing container and water chances twice a day can get overbearing by myself when I work third shift. I really would like to see how others do their young, wether its in tupperware or other container. No information is bad info when learning a new thing. Thanks for your info

Hey there! :D

First off, welcome to the forum. I am a newish member and everyone has been great with answering questions, etc. :eek:

I have mine in Tupperware containers, and they are all doing well. I have the 2 biggest separated out and the other 6 are paired up according to size. My biggest axie baby is 2 1/2 inches, the smallest is 1 1/4 inches.

I only do a water change once a day, partial one day, full change the next. So maybe that would help as far as work load. :eek:
 
I raised some eggs (most hatched over night) as well as some juveniles.

Hopefully you can visit this link (it's my local fish forum site that I updated while raising my little ones :) ) - i"m pretty sure it's accessible to guests!

I wish I could get my 13 year old son interested in it too but all he likes is video games lol. Thanks for the input

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
