Well, we have a four bedroom house and one room was converted into the Herp room so the closet had to be used somehow.........

You might want to think about investing in a UV-B meter so you can check the levels for sure.

Very nice set-up. I like the assortment of climbing devices, and all the greenery, too. Tile makes for very easy cleaning, and water resistance.

Anybody know a good one that isn't prohibitive in price? I'd like to still have money left over to feed my Chams

After googling this for about 10 Minutes It looks like you are going to pay at least $100 bare minimum for a decent UVB reader sadly. There is probably one out there for cheaper if you do enough looking around but for a decent one It looks like these babies range from $120-$200 and more.

Well, I found a small problem with my super large habitat.

It's not the lighting, so far it seems great.

It's not the misting or drainage, the air circulation seems to help it evaporate nicely.

It's not any problems with the plants or climbing areas, the Quads seem to be making use of everything while keeping their distance from each other.

Of all things, the problem seems to be getting them fed. Despite having two bowls they can see into and access easily they seem to ignore the food. However when I take out a single food item and place it on a branch they then choose to eat. Add in that they are WC and scared of me makes sitting there and feeding each of them one item at a time incredibly time consuming. After I place the food item on a branch in front of them I then need to get out of their sight or they won't eat.

Their current diet:
Hornworms
Crickets
Butterworms
Phoneix worms

Over time I know they'll get used to me from past experiences. Yet getting them to be willing to take a food item from a bowl with 5-6 items in it seems to be the problem. It just goes to show no matter how much you plan for something stuff still happens.

Ideas?

My Male doesn't eat when I am standing right there with him. Normally I dump his food in a cup, put it in front of his face (Making sure his eyes focus on it) then slowly lower it to the place that it goes so he can eat. After I ste away he normally climbs down to get the food.

Have you tried doing something like that?

Yeah Zoey, They've seen me place food in the two cups and they'll stare at the food items but not single out one. After I take out one and put it on a branch they'll go for it if I get out of sight

I seen an enclosure that looks just like yours www.calummaparsonii.com in the enclosure section.
I think its a closed site.
