The fans in the humidifiers are only 4-6CFM depending on the unit. Its is very light, a computer fan would be 20cfm. and the fan is small, normally only 50mm by 50mm, by comparison a small pc fan is 80 by 80.

Ah yes the good ole alternating front arms. Then they get the little black spots and you feel bad. Buddy had a turtle. Had to do the same thing, with the wife being point man with a popsickle stick to keep the head from nom noming him. 2 months later the turtle is just having a good ole time...

I use washer over flow trays or concrete mixing tubs. but they are not exactly 24x24, but close.

I use icecubes. You will go mad trying to tune the spigot to drip once every few seconds.

OK good. Unfortunately bulb strength is exponentally lower as you move away. So your 8" measurement might be perfect at uvi 3.0. But 16" is going to be like uvi 1.0 or 0.5, its not going to be half. So like you said you just need a sunning area so the cham can have a choice. You will find...

It might be the angle, but that looks like a really low laying setup. you should have a hang out area around 8-10" away from the UVB bulb. Even if its just one angled stick.

Uhhhh. Slightly confused where you live, i assume its not the USA /EU. Lucky herp is a china brand and not well known in USA / EU. https://www.luckyherpreptile.com/lucky-herp-uvb-100-t8-fluorescent-lamp-14w-15w-18w-25w-30w-36w_p0039.html SO here is your issue with lighting. You have a 15...

His cask is swole, his cheeks are swole, his eyes are starting to swole. i bet is neck is going to start to swole. I think hes got edema from too much vitamins/minerals supplements. Id drop all (even calcium) for a week or two and see if it goes down.

At least the tails curl correctly.

I was thinking this Or using a shop vac and sucking a few wet washcloths through the tubes.

I still want to know the frequency and technique folks use to keep there foggers clean... Thinking about the pvc hard tube. If it is large enough you might be very easy to just tie a string around a face cloth and pull it through the pipe. That might make it extremely easy to clean quickly...

Here is our discussion from 5 years ago. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/foggers-a-tool-or-a-danger.173556/

The pink slime in north america is either Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens) or Aureobasidium pullulans (A. pullulans). AKA Bathroom Mold. And neither of them are in the families of Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Mycoplasma, and Salmonella. So maybe the pink stuff doesnt affect reptiles? Aka it...

Its possible people who do not "need" a humidifier might not get the pink slime? Like only people who live in a dry environment? it appears to be a mold, which is why it builds up in dark places, so my idea of using opaque tubing wouldnt help. This article seems to align with what i see...
