Another thread gave me the idea to start this discussion. I know a lot of you (myself included) have unconventional or advanced methods for keeping your animals and I'd like to dedicate this thread to sharing these practices.
This thread is not intended to be a care sheet or any kind of reference piece for a new and inexperienced keeper. It is for those of us who wish to learn from others and maybe discuss controversial issues that we wouldn't normally talk about on threads geared toward newbies.
I know I don't do everything "by the book" and maybe we can learn from each other about alternate methods for keeping these animals instead of regurgitating the same information over and over.
Some topics for discussion:
Quarantine
Hot Spot and Ambient Temperatures
Hides or No Hides
Planted/Living Vivariums and Displays
Co-habitation
Breeding
Assist/Force Feeding
Incubation (maternal vs. incubator)
Live and F/T Feeding
Substrate
Lighting
I know a lot of these things have been discussed at length in the past, but it is always useful to review and update our practices. Some threads are outdated or end up off topic or don't have a resolution. I'd like this to be a place where we can share detailed information, pictures, videos, experiences, and stories. This is not a place to criticize people for "doing it wrong". If you don't want to share your practices for any reason, thats' perfectly fine!
Lets give the Advanced Husbandry section some love! I will spend some time outlining my unconventional practices and I will post them here.
