If you want a point of reference, here’s a shot of my guys joints, they should be angled while bent like his front leg in this shot if I’m not mistaken

I’d ask @Beman or @MissSkittles to chime in here, just because I don’t have experience with female charms and want to make sure your questions are answered Glancing at your husbandry review, I do see you’re feeding her 3-5 feeders every other day? I know with females you do want to restrict...

At a glance I think you’re fine for now, but if stuff grows and becomes to dense you may need to prune it back. Bonus part is you can take the trimmings and use them to propagate You can always add a pc fan to the top of the cages to enhance the chimney effect if you want to in the future to...

These look great! The one thing I’d say to keep an eye on is make sure that you got good airflow from the bottom to the top with how densely they are planted. :) but visually they look on point, good job :) Also, your upper plants look well mounted. :)

My guy has a slow GI and has since he was done being treated for parasites My guy is similar when it takes him a bit to go. No lethargy, still active and engaged, no slowed appetite, just no poop. When I’ve had extended times without a bowel movement his vet prescribed cisepride to induce a...

If you do dowels do oak That being said they are more prone to rot than regular wood as they’ve been finished which opens to the pores of the wood

I set this up during the winter when scavenging for stocks wasn’t an option, ghostwood holds up okay but for all the natural wood in here I dropped like.. 200 bucks or so. Question, I hear you mentioning multiple chams? Do you have two/are you housing them together?

Congrats on getting your cage set up and your dragon ledges installed from the sounds of it The part you’re at is the fun part which is actually building out the enclosure

Assemble on a flat hard surface not carpet this helps things align straight as they should instead of crooked Don’t over tighten screws if the frame is aluminum it strips easily take your time! :) this kind of stuff doesn’t come naturally to me either but we learn by doing

To save you a headache down the road Definitely put them on the walls before you assemble the cage :)

If you’re fine with spending a bit of money for peace of mind my herpstat has been a lifesaver with keeping my enclosure at the precise temps needed during the day It ramps your heat up and tapers it just shy of the target you set and is accurate to .1 degrees...

The whole floating garden setup is really ideal if you’re not doing a bioactive floor I have a mesh floor too so water fully exits the cage as there’s no barrier for drainage

You did make the right call going with pvc for humidity retention if you struggle with dry air it’s a night and day difference I will say also keep in mind it retains heat too and to monitor temps I run a thermostat in my enclosure to and I only use like 40% power of a 60w bulb to keep my...

If I had to redo mine I’d swap the dowels out for natural branches though they seem to work fine I’m paranoid that the water will cause issues over time but I’ve had them in the cage for a year and there’s no issues yet you just don’t know with dowels and persistent water exposure though they...

With the solid walls i imagine the install will require a bit more precision but if the walls are pvc I don’t know why you couldn’t you could always ask bill strand directly he’d be the best person to ask
