Don't know about Sinningia, but here is a reliable source for very small
terrarium plants. I am turning our old aquarium into a small garden, also. I
want to use sundews, pitcher plants, and fly traps...

I have Martha Stewart to thank. She has the people who represent the company on
her show. They have an excellent variety of plants.

Well, I have been tempted many times to bring in a few gecko's or anole's, but I
decided it was probably torture to a lizard to be in a tank. Best to leave them
outdoors where they are happily eating our grasshoppers.

I have been collecting sundews, pitcher plants and venus fly traps for my future
terrarium. I'll probably have it up and running with the light and proper
things in the next month or so. I'll post the websites I find.

Sorry on the skin thing. I'll email you.

That's the thing. I could never knowingly throw crickets in there to be eaten.
I totally enjoy the anoles outdoors. They are everywhere by the hundreds. This
year there was a huge hatch out of all manner of reptiles in the garden. We
had babies forever. I am still seeing tiny babies when I water. So cute. When
it gets cold they are easy to capture, but still I could never feed them
crickets.

The biggest problem with keeping crickets in the house to feed your
reptiles is....they're crickets! They chirp. If they escape, they
can chirp under your bed G. And they don't smell very good,
especially if you've got a few of them. My eldest used to have Chloe,
a little grey spiny lizard, and she (who knows??) ate crickets. What
a pain!
