    reverse osmosis water system

    Quick question since we are talking about RO systems. Almost every system I have seen looks to be an in-line system that needs to be connected to plumbing. I live in an apartment in the city and am unable to use one of these systems. Could a MistKing 75PSI pump be strong enough to run water...

    What does shedding look like at the beginning?

    Not to alarm you. But they will go a little dull in color just before they shed. When it does happen. If it is anything like Mojo's shed. It will look like it's exploding off her. Her skin will start to split like tissue paper. Takes about half a day. I attached a photo of Mojo at...

    Need expert help/confusing symptoms

    I'm no expert but just wanted to add an observation I saw in the enclosure photo. It looks like you are using some chicken wire at the top of the cage. I know some wires contain a coating of zinc and sometimes zinc with small percentages of lead which can lead to toxicity. Has your vet...

    UVA vs UVB (please read)

    Found this from another site. Wanted a good refrence. UVB exposure is absorbed into the skin for producing vitamin D3 which helps breakdown calcium for healthy bones and preventing MBD. Cham owners will supplement D3 every 2 weeks or every month (dependent on species) and sun exposure with...

    Any Ideas to make shift a mister just for 10 hours??

    I've poked a pin hole in a 20oz coke bottle and let that be the dripper when my pump died on me. I used that for 2 days while working before my new pump arrived. Just make sure to test the drip rate. It can often run to fast and flood your cage.

    Apartments and Reptiles

    I live in an apt with no troubles just outside of DC. I built up a good reputation with the management and explained that since most pet deposits are to cover dogs and cats destroying carpets and walls with urine or feces, that keeping a caged animal actually is safer and cleaner with no chance...

    Proper Plant Drainage

    Re: His duel nozzle mist king goes off for 30 seconds at 0730, 1000, 1500 and 1930, and for a minute at 1230 and 1700. This keeps his relative humidity around 40 to 50% while maintaining his 85 to 90F basking spot.

    Proper Plant Drainage

    Has anyone had problems with drainage of Umbrella Tree's (Schefflera arboricola) or other plants? Currently I have a 18X18X36 enclosure for my 2.5 month old Ambanja Panther. Rocks sitting on top of the soil so he cannot accidentally ingest soil and particles, however the soil is so dense that...

    Advice Please!!

    Take a good look at her pupils. I have had herps before that get eye caps. It's when the skin from their shed doesn't come off the pupil creating a layer over their eye causing blured vision. I saw it a couple other species. It can be very irritating to the eyes and they will rub them on objects...

    Do I have everything i need?

    I would also get some a small thermostat and hydrometer. Throughout the day, shuffle it around the enclosure to monitor the normal temperatures to make sure you get proper temp variances and maintain some humidity. I did this for about a week with Mojo to make sure the numbers were right for...
