CP terrarium thread, continued

It was a lot of fun! I didn't feel threatened by him at all. I've been wanting to have a personal experience with this lizard for a few years now, and I got it!

Be prepared for fungus with the refrigerator method. I can see why that would work better for you, it gets miserably cold up there.

Yeah... I've been thinking about the fungus thing. What I was planning is to let them dry out a bit so they're moist, not wet; treat them with a trichoderma bath and then bag them up. We'll have to see how it goes. I really think it's the best option that I have though. The last couple of years, the ones that I've had haven't had the best dormancy, and I think that's held them back a lot. I think this is the best shot I have.

 

[Death Pony]

It's worth a try.

For the first winter I had vfts I did the fridge method with no problems what so ever. Good luck!

I'm hoping for the best.

Thought I'd put up a couple more pics...

Wow that trunc looks amazing

 

[jbradt]

I really like the peristomes on them. The sanguineas as well (pic 3).

 

[PaulJ69]

Well I planted/cold stratified(?) all my seeds yesterday. We'll see if they come out alright.

 

[jbradt]

Cool. So, into the fridge for 3 months or so?

 

[PaulJ69]

Well I have the seeds in bags of damp sphagnum and the directions were to do that for 4 weeks, then plant them in their pots. Something like that.
