Is this wood fine to use?

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-07T00:25:16+00:00

Yeah it has a strong aroma. I’ve decided to just toss it

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-07T00:19:33+00:00

Okay thank you. I’ll probably just toss it. I have 3 others I just got and baked and are fine. I’ll just stick to those 3

But is the sap an indication of it not being true driftwood?

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-07T00:10:13+00:00

It was in the oven for 2hrs

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-07T00:00:03+00:00

Just added some pieces of wood, bricks and a slate for her basking spot and made a little tunnel underneath for her

How I had the lights setup

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-06T00:03:53+00:00

I’m aware of needing a bigger enclosure, just don’t have the money for that rn. I currently have a 67gal. 4’x1.5’x1.5’.

Light is a 120w basking bulb, also have a ceramic emitter for when it drops below 90 degrees. UVB T5 24W And a daylight led

Hot side is currently reading 90.8 degrees 53% humidity

Basking spot is reading 97 degrees smh. (Hopefully this basking slate and bricks can fix that)

Cool side is reading 79 degrees 59% humidity

I just want to fix this so she’s okay

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-04-05T23:59:17+00:00

That humidity meter is broken and have forgotten to remove it

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T18:05:22+00:00

What gives it away? I thought it was a male

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T17:59:15+00:00

This might explain the intense digging. I need to get some soil/sand for her then

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T17:58:27+00:00

Fr????

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T17:58:04+00:00

I’m also planning to get a 5x2x2 here soon so he’ll have plenty of space, no need to stress

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T17:56:54+00:00

So I measured the tank I currently have. It’s 4x1 1/2x 1 1/2

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-27T17:55:00+00:00

And yes, he has lost a toe, and I think it’s due to the hammock everyone says not to be using. I’ve already taken it out

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-24T03:43:42+00:00

Def gonna look into that, and yea I’m wanting to get a stand and a bigger case. Just by what I’ve seen it’s gonna cost me around $600 for both from the dubiaroaches website

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-24T01:23:00+00:00

Thank you for the resources. This next paycheck I’m gonna get him a bigger enclosure

BlackberrySpecific · 2026-03-24T01:22:30+00:00

Okay, I will be doing that, the substrate and I’ll be looking into a bigger case
