    Monsoon rs400

    Well, the new cham is doing great. He's tripled in size in the few weeks since I got him. Only problem is he refuses to eat anything but crickets and ,when I can afford them , hornworms. I started a dubia colony but he just ignores the bowl when I put dubia in his cage. And the wife has...

    Monsoon rs400

    I have a Monsoon RS400 on my Cham's cage for misting but I was curious if I needed to find a way to heat the water? I fill it with distilled but everywhere I read it says to use warm water for misting???

    Still getting the repti-breeze set up. Going to move the foliage from the aquarium when I move him. Was going to put him in the repti-breeze some today and let him check it out. Going to get more of the "moss squares" once I am sure he can climb on them. They are on sale at Michael's this week.

    Gotcha, the plan was to move him to the reptibreeze anyhow just want to sanitize it and all since the female died. Also, you're not coming off bad at all. I ask a lot of questions and often the same ones more than once ( I have terrible memory issues due to fibromyalgia) . My biggest complaint...

    Just in the last hour or so of observing the new chameleon I am seeing lots of good signs I never saw with the female. I am of a mind that she may have been a worn out breeder. The new guy is drinking off the glass of the aquarium actually using his tongue. My old girl would kind of "nibble" at...

    My girl scared me

    She took a turn for the worse this morning and went downhill really fast. I don't know if the stress of Dr visit and meds was too much or if she was just too sick to recover. My amazing wife however instead of taking back the new mister and all today suggested we get the last male they had. They...

    My girl scared me

    Just did a misting and ran humidifier for a few so it's up to 70. Took her to vet and she has some parasites and dehydration. Vet actually said she looked really good and he thought she would bounce back pretty fast. Have me the antibiotic to give her once a day for 10 days ( Orbax ) and a meal...

    Also when she passed her stool this morning it was all white urates but no dark matter. I can't seem to get her to eat this morning but I have hornworms on the way. Wish there was a place here that sold them.

    We made it through the night with dropper watering and I think she looks better. Got a cool air humidifier sitting by cage . Would you guys recommend higher humidity level or keep it at normal?

    Tonight on top of misting I took a dropper and got her to drink a little from it. Figure I will do that every few hours until she get's back to normal. On a positive note I should be able to get a monsoon this week if things work out.

    Working on the misting system setup now. I have been spraying down her entire cage and also melting ice cubes on the top to create "rain" I can't afford $100 for a new misting system right now as I just had to repair our home a/c over the weekend and we don't get paid again for about a month. If...

    Here is a closeup in better light. I think she shadows were making things look a lot worse.

    My girl scared me

    Been worried for a few days as my girl had gotten dark and kinda grumpy. Wasn't interested in eating much but was drinking. Was thinking she might have been getting ill but then today she literally exploded into a full body shed. With other reptiles I have had in the past this would totally...
