I am leaving the country for two months and needed someone in the NY area to take care of my ten month old Ambilobe (purchased from Screameleons). He is a very healthy beautiful boy and ready to breed if anyone is interested. He comes with a rubbermaid tub full of Dubia roaches (that can be...

I was kind of hoping for that but when I did a search through the threads I didn't really see any history of that here.

It looks like I will be leaving the country for a few months starting sometime between late May and July (returning October) and I have a beautiful 8 month old Panther. Problem is that I just moved to the NY area so don't really know anybody well enough to ask to come over daily and my wife is...

Thanks Chris, So if he doesn't show any symptoms besides the calcium out of the nostrils over the next few days I shouldn't worry about any long-term damage w/ this kind of over-supplementation?

From the excess calcium I found coming out my cham's nostrils this morning I am going to assume I am over-supplementing. Any other treatments I should follow for over-supplementation beside raising the humidity levels and feeding high water food like silkworms for a few days? (and obviously...

... have dealt with characters WAAAY more douchey than in chat forums. Its not just you - many times when I read answers to advice there always seems to be a slight accusatory suggestion that the requestor of the advice is doing something horrible. People are asking questions because they...

My plants are in a pot for my panther - carpets actually utilize and plant eggs in soil or so I was told by the breeder selling him. The pot is not elevated but on a dish - hence the over-watering. But the bottom is bare aside from pot for plant. Will create an external drainage system. The...

well only half a cup a day for now - but I have been reading completely different opinions on how long to drip and how much to mist.....I will have one person one day tell me an hour a day - another one does a cup - another one has it going eight hours a day. Its all over the place but really I...

Its the drip thats the problem not the misting. I have the drip on the leaves so he can drink off it but the water ends up in the pot.

How do people avoid over-watering their plants? Any drainage tips out there that people have come up with? I was thinking about possibly covering the plants soil with some sort of safe plastic and draining the water towards a sponge or shallow reservoir........? Also, totally unrelated but I...

Holy sweet jesus! You are really devoted....I know the Melleri are huge but it looks like he has his own room...all I can say is wow. I was thinking of covering the roots of my plants with some sort of tarp or plastic and angle it to some sort of covered tupperware or sponge and empty at the...

ChrisnLisa - what plants and drainage system do you use? Pics would be good.

Summoner - well that sucks!! But when I tested it in my sink they sprayed just like I do 4 or 5 times a day except the misting isnt as fine.

Well setup is in transition so not complete - the usual basic setup really. The Panther is in a reptarium appropriately sized for his age with a Hibiscus plant and a variety of vines and wood branches throughout. UVB on top and and a 60 watt in basking area. Same for the Carpet except he's in...

...and another thing I really hate about constant dripping is that it kills my plants - so I may just buy a safe non-toxic artificial large leaf - at Pier 1 - and allow the drip to land on it within reach of the chams and collect the excess in a shallow dish at the bottom of the cage
