    Default Expecting to have more hissers soon

    Okay, so I have a pair of hissers that I've had for 3 months. I've been feeding them carrots, cucumbers and different forms of meat. The sole purpose was to breed them and to vary my lizards diets. I kept them around low 70's for the two and a half months. Then I moved them by the lizards and now their tank is in the 80's. I also mist their tank once a day. So I happened to be hearing a lot of hissing going on for the past two weeks. So I checked today and there it was; the female was carrying an egg sac. So I will buy a large plastic container to house the adults with the female really soon.

    Also what's crazy is that I don't even know when they'll hatch. Because hissers carry their egg sac inside their body and only let it out to air out. It could be any day now.

    Thats pretty cool. Im no expert on them by any means, but since I have added heat to my dubias, there are babies all over the place. Went from small little pockets of babies, to babies galore. All I did was place a 2ft piece of 3" flexwatt under the tub.

    That's cool. I lost my male last week. I decided to fill the water dish up high this time and woke up to find him floating in it. :sad:
