Keeping reports
Information is Key
Having the right information at the right time and in the right place can make or break your success. But the mountain of information is constantly growing. Even today, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to quickly select the relevant knowledge, the most important and up-to-date information for making decisions, from the sometimes contradictory information. I regularly use various networks to stay informed. My sources include many hobby breeders and experts who have tried or experienced very interesting things, some of which I also use for my blog.Before buying, you should find out about the husbandry requirements. Many species are very well and successfully kept in terrariums, as the many successful breeding programs demonstrate. However, some species require special care or food, which you should clarify before purchasing. I try to address these questions in the husbandry reports to protect you from surprises.
I regularly update my husbandry descriptions and provide you with the latest findings here. Newly introduced species will also appear here after a certain observation period.
