I've had excellent service and excellent product from Coastalsilkworms. The silkworm pods are great!

I had the same worries as the OP, but find very little water makes it to the bottom of the cage, and what does evaporates. The ficus tree catches 90% of the water, and if there are stand alone droplets on the bottom, I just wipe them up with a paper towel. Easy maintenance!

For all of those who wanted to know where I got the Tree of Life Tapestry, here is the link: http://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.asp?c=&SKW=tree%20of%20life&SKW2=&TKW=&Scat=&GEN1=&OR=&parent=&T1=P23887&PageNo=1&pos=2

WOW! I love it.

I used the wrong term sorry. I am using Reptisun 5.0 which is what was almost universally recommended. Unfortunately either the bulb is broken or the hood (I can't figure out which). So I'm off to shop for another today!

It's the Zoomed Deep Dome actually. I think it's the 8". It's kind of big but I wanted the bulb a distance from the screen to prevent burns and the dome distributes the heat well.

Yeah. I can tell he wants to be higher. I'm going to find something to place under the ficus tree pot tomorrow to raise it up another 10" or so. (EDIT to add locale info and lineage) He' is an Ambilobe. When he arrived he was sky blue with red stripes. I actually emailed the breeder for...

Cham is 3 months old and a big guy for his age. He (I can't decide on a name yet) took to his new home quickly. Has been active all day. Spent the first hour drinking droplets of off leaves. Then he went exploring. Made me very nervous watching him traverse the walls of the cage by gripping...

Thanks Brad I'll give the peat moss/top soil mix a shot.

Great, thanks for the tips!

I am trying to keep my new screen enclosure from being destroyed by my lack of ingenuity! From my new cham's basking light to the top of his ficus tree there is approx. 18" of space I want to fill with vines for basking. I've been trying to hang the vines with training wire, but noticed the...

Do you all place rocks in the bed of the pothos plant to cover the exposed soil?

I highly recommend them as well. Excellent service and quality food. The Silkworm Pods are great!

I'm getting a panther to start. I have everything ready but the plants. Based on this thread I think I'm going to go pothos hunting tomorrow.

Excellent thanks for the info. Setting up my terrarium now for first cham arrival next week!
