I like it. My anglonemia and bromeliad seem to do well but I can never keep plants alive in the pots on the left side of my enclosure. I haven't noticed much heat from it

I think my cham was doing this because he was constipated tbh. I didn't notice many BMs on the floor of his enclosure during this time. And then there was a very large one after a while. I'd say it probably lasted two weeks maybe two and a half

Hey guys hope all is well, Noticed this spot on Marty's tail for at least a month now, was hoping it'd resolve when he shed but it didn't. Thinking about seeing if I should take him to the vet. Has anyone seen something similar? Shot from before shedding

Hey guys! Haven't been active here in a little while, but hope you and you're chams are all doing well! I've been looking into ackie monitors lately and was wondering if anyone knows of a good resource like this forum for monitor lizards or ackies, in particular. Marty is doing great by the...

Yeah I hope so too :) he is in his basking spot now. I like the bar so far, definitely brightens up his enclosure. Time will tell about its' effect on the plants though I suppose

Farthest he has come out of his spot in well over a week! Colors are looking more normal also I think

Is this a little too much foliage? Got a little over eager with the pothos I think lol

Yeah maybe I'll finally be able to keep plants alive there lol. Even had a pothos die in one of those spots

The jungle dawn bar came in today, a lot quicker than I thought. Definitely brighter, but Marty seemed to try to hide away from it pretty immediately. Hopefully he adjusts to it soon

Will do! I've got one on the way from reptile basics so hopefully within a week I'll have an update. Thanks again!

Thank you for your help! I will likely buy a 34" jungle dawn bar that I have found - just wish they weren't so pricey

The 3UVI is measured an inch or so above the branch. At the branch is about 2.6-2.7 I believe. He sleeps on the left towards the bottom. I'll look into a jungle dawn bar

The UVB is a 6% Arcadia T5HO dual fixture, single reflector with a 6500k daylight. His UVB basking branch (the highest one where I get the 2.9-3.0 UVI reading) is 6 inches below the titanium screen top Edit: the branch is 6". Marty's height probably reaches 4-5" below the light/screen

The room doesn't have any mirrors, there are several framed pictures that I suppose have a slight reflection from the plastic over the picture, but not a lot from what I see. The pictures aren't abstract. Mainly just star wars things and one of neil young's face He was basking and moving...

Update: the exotic vet near me doesn't have an appointment available for another 1.5 weeks but they referred me to an emergency exotic vet nearby. The blood work would have been way too expensive at the emergency vet, but they did a physical exam and checked vitals. They said he looks great and...
