I often ponder the possibility of developing a biosphere around the needs of anole lizards. One day I hope to actually build it. I've gone to some lengths to...
Most biospheres are made to balance. Everything has a food source and everything is a food source. Meaning if your anoles If happy will reproduce with no...
I forgot to add, I have raised Anoles in a terrarium. That is why the knowledge. I raised crickets in the same terrarium to feed them. I used 1/4" wire mess...
i don't know what species of anole you're talking about, but we have cuban anoles and green anoles here in florida. they do climb bushes and small trees, but i...
I have green anoles in mind as they would be easier to get hold of for me. They are also common in the pet trade and I would feel more confident with them....
Can you tell me if they eat smaller members of their species? I suspect that could be one way of managing population and I think it would be more humane than...
Check this site out: http://www.highmars.org/niac/education/cemss/ If my didn't hate mice so much I'd give it a try after making a few mods. Should also work...
I don't know know if they are Cannabilistic by nature. I always had food enough for them. They are carnivors so it would not suprise me. I put a big toad in...
<http://slapphappe.com/2008/02/04/fresh-water-biospheres/> The freshwater biosphere idea came from a recent Make magazine article. My biospheres included more...
I have a 1/2 gallon biosphere that I started in the beginning of April. It started out with a very small fish, a snail for keeping things cleaned up, and a...
Unless your office has the exact same conditions as your home then the sphere you are planning to take to work will change dramamtically once it's there....
I've been keeping a biosphere with one mosquitofish in it and its survived for almost a year now with a few snails and plants. Now I've added another mosquito...
Mosquito fish don't have eggs, they are livebearing fish. They were probably just hiding amongst the plants and debris in your container...that's what mine do....
In my experience with keeping snails they tend to multiply like crazy, but usually only when they feel like conditions are right (for the babies). And even if...
What do you want to put in your biosphere. Snails, plants, and fish are pretty easy and basic to work with. You need to do research of animals that eat...
I've made a couple biospheres before, but they were both very simple algae with snails and a single plant. Yes they were somewhat easy and lasted for a while,...
A few months ago I started to get interested in EcoSpheres, and I discovered a site of what seemed to be a decent experiment, It is advertised as 2.5yrs old. ...
I've been a member for a while but never posted before, I don't feel like typing much at the moment but I do have a quick question. What is the longest any of...
I think I've documented my sealed jar system with aquatic weed and crustaceans about 3/16" long. I think it survived about 6 years until I moved to a different...
Hi I'm a frensh student, For my university I have to make my own biosphere. By now I collected some amphipodes and very tiny snails. I would be very gladfull...
I attempted to make a terrestrial biosphere a few months ago out of one of those plastic containers that grocery stores use for holding pasteries and such. It...
Hi! I'm from america and I was wanting to start my own little biosphere because I bought one from the store in a zoo once. Sadly my newphew broke it while we...
I don't think crayfish would do so well in an aquatic biosphere, since they're carnivores that would require a continual suppy of largish prey items (like...
