Sorry Darwin is also still shedding

Here is the second picture

On Dragonstrand.com there are some great articles about setting up your Cham enclosure. They were a big help when I was setting up mine. I use zip ties through drilled holes to secure an empty pot to the branch and then put a potted plant in there so there are 2 pots and it's really easy to...

Dragon ledges If you have the extra money to spend, I definitely recommend dragon ledges (you can just google them). I have a reptibreeze and got some and now am able to have multiple horizontal and vertical branches as well as 4 seperate live potted plants hanging from them and am not worried...

So I recently wrapped 3 sides of my screen cage in clear shower curtain to help with humidity. It is super clear and there is no reflection. I was still having low humidity so I got an ultrasonic cool mist humidifier and used a tube to run it so the mist was coming in through the top of the...

I'm looking for a new hygrometer to keep track of my humidity. I need one with a min/max setting and preferably one with a probe. I've been looking at the hygrometer/thermometer combo made by zilla but I've read mixed reviews. Does anyone have this and can comment on it? Or recommend a...

He ate 1 dubia off his branch this morning but only one. There is another on one of his leaves that he hasn't touched and some crickets in a DIY cup feeder made with a 1/4 gallon milk jug and some mesh. I'm still worried though as he has only eaten 1 dubia every other day for the last 4 days.

I have a 4 month old male Jackson. For the first couple of days he did great, was more light green than brown and ate about 5 or so Dubias/crickets a day and was hand feeding with tweezers the 2nd day. A few days after that I had to move him to fix something with his cage and since then he...

Around 80 degrees F it's a 60 watt bulb I us d to have a 40 watt but it only got up to around 74 degrees F. I'm going to try re arranging the plants to make the basking spot a little more hidden to see if that'll work. And the uvb is a reptisun 5.0

not to hijack a thread but I also had a uvb question. I got a 3-4 month old male Jackson about a week ago. He hasn't been using the basking spot I have set up and stays in the shadows under some of the live plants I have. Since he is always in the shade he gets nowhere close to the uvb light...

I was thinking of it more so the Cham wasn't getting sprayed with room temp (65 degree F) water and I'm not concerned with algae because the the warm mist water will be heated by passing through the tubing that runs through a bucket of hot water which I'll heat up with the aquarium heater. I...

I was going to use an aquarium thermometer probe to test the water coming out of the tube before plugging it in the nozzle to get some idea but still don't know if it would be better to heat the water before or after it runs through the pump or if copper tubing would be OK to use.

I know there is a great thread on DIY water heaters on the forums and I've read through them and am planning on making my own. I just had a question for anyone who has made one. Is it better to have the reservoir bucket, then the water heater, then the pump, and then the nozzles? or have the...

Just got my first Cham over the weekend, a 4 month old male Jackson. He's eaten about 4-5 small Dubias each day but I haven't seen him drinking. I've been hand misting with warm water until I can make a water heater for my mistking. Every time I mist however, he turns from light green to...

nvm apparently I figured it out
