about 1 month ago the leaves in my adult panthers cage started collecting this weird red slim like jello. It happened on two diffrent plants also. The i got on my cham. And i moistens when the misters go off and hardern when the dont. I tryed scrathing it off very gently but only pick off the tinest bit. Its not affecting him at al. what is it?

o and the water im using is tap from a sink.....been that way for a year and a half...and now just now im having this problem.

I used to be an active member but got very bussy, so i can assure you everything is right in the cage.....just this wierd red slime?

maybe its sperm plugs he wiped off on the plants???

Do you allow the tap water to sit in an open container for at least 24hours before using it?

Maybe it's the New Jersey water, those jersey shore kids seem to have an orange tint to them as well.

Sounds like the red slime algae that plagues fish tanks. Maybe it's mold/fungus If I read your post correctly you said it's on your chameleon now too? What is the ventilation like in the room the cage is in? Does the cage have a chance to dry out in between mistings?

Whats kind of plants? Maybe its sap.

not sap....ficus and umbrella and phothos....i thinks its the water....leting the water sit out for 34 hours does nothing exept evaporate just the h2o and leave and even higher concentration of minerals in it.......its in a room. with 4 by 4 by 2 screen cage.lllreptiles. and ventilation is fine.

Do you have a misting system? Maybe there is some bacteria buildup in the lines.

Could be red mold
