A culture of mine is doing something I wasn't expecting. The flies seem lethargic. I am feeding them to praying mantids and a surprising number of mantids are dying. Could the 2 problems be related?
Great video. I'm getting ready for my panther chameleons that will be hatching soon. I'm not sure if there is any difference or not but can you use bread yeast or does it have to be bakers yeast?
I have watched your older video on this as well... I have all the info (watching over and over again lol) Im pretty sure I got your measurements of everything but the flax seed. Could you please tell me that info!? One more thing is the nutritional yeast best for the H.FF or the M.FF! Thanks for all the great videos!
Where in Canada can you find those vented lids? I'd like to move away from mason jars, as all my drilled lids are rusting. Also, any reason you don't simply have _all_ your dry ingredients pre-mixed in a container, ready to go?
Oh, thanks. I browsed the websites of both of those vendors, & neither of those places advertise culture containers on their websites. I guess I'll be emailing them.
Hello. I think your videos are great. Could you please tell me if i can move my smaller than a dine dart frogs into their bigger tank? I have a 20 Gallon but some space is being taken up by the backdrop and sides.
Hi Mike! I have a question, l have been told that mites will appear in your fruit fly cultures, how do you keep from spreading the mites from your cultures to your dart frog tank to your house? I don't want a house full of mites! I am looking to get tinks, can you feed them crickets, or another insect as a staple. Thanks Sheila
Well... mites live virtually everywhere (including in your hair and your eyebrows, regardless how much you shower and scrub haha). These are grain mites and won’t spread to the rest of your house. I use diatomaceous earth to prevent the spread of mites though.
do they thrive in more cooler temperatures or warmer temperatures mike ? I ask this because one day I put my culture on the windowsill and they started to breed and it's cooler there than the room
hey Mike I was wondering what's your stance or what's your opinion on how important UV is to leopard geckos because I want to Leopard Gecko and I haven't had good UV because when I got it I was led to believe that it was not important and I'm seeing more and more video saying it is important can you clarify this for me
Got the notification while at work. I've been itching to watch this all shift
This is a fantastic vid. I'm always looking for ways to tweak my media recipes so thank you!!

Tough to tell

Nevermind I kept watching and got my answer. Great video.
Great video mike!!!!

I use it for both, and flax seed I don't really measure I just throw some in haha
thanks for the info
How about a list in the description? ;) Please?
Didn't mention how many cups of each ingredient used to make each of your mixes
That is true, unfortunately I changed the media since then. Shoot me an email and I can send you the newer recipe

You can order them from the states, or buy them from frog places like Jungle jewel exotics, or integrated exotics.
Oh, thanks. I browsed the websites of both of those vendors, & neither of those places advertise culture containers on their websites. I guess I'll be emailing them.
Can you use white wine vinger in the mida
Yes you certainly can
Mike I'm thinking of getting a Kenyan sand boa but also want a created gecko what should I get

@@MikeTytula Thanks Mike! It's hard to find this kind of information on them
No problem!
I live in Canada I'm just wondering if you no some leopard gecko breeders and crusted gecko and bearded dragon breeders
there are tons just google or facebook.
do you need to do brewers yeast as well as nutritional yeast? I see you do two cultures of each separate not in one container?
I would say stick with the nutritional yeast over the bewers.
Where do we get the lids?
Depends where you live
Hey man, what would you recommend I get as a first reptile? I can't decide between a panther chameleon or a blue tongued skink.
Research both and find which better suits your needs
Nuclear Autism - they are both very friendly reptiles
do they thrive in more cooler temperatures or warmer temperatures mike ? I ask this because one day I put my culture on the windowsill and they started to breed and it's cooler there than the room
WArmer but only up until about 85-90ºF
How about adding an ingredient and qty list to the description. :)
I might be able to do that when I get home.
Notification Squad!!! (And first lol ;))
hey Mike I was wondering what's your stance or what's your opinion on how important UV is to leopard geckos because I want to Leopard Gecko and I haven't had good UV because when I got it I was led to believe that it was not important and I'm seeing more and more video saying it is important can you clarify this for me
