I decided to uncrowd my enclosure roof, removing my LED panel and my strip and bought this... https://zoomed.com/t5-reptisun-led-uvb-terrarium-hood/ I'm all about modular and multi-purpose tools and this fits the bill. In my case I bought the 24" unit for $109 through Amazon. It incorporates 3...

Just moved a 3 month into a 2x2x5 enclosure. Grab a few analog temperature/humidity monitors and mount one high, one mid, and one low in the cage, makes its easy to glace at and see the temp/humidity at different levesl, how its holding, and it helps zero you in on adjusting. Per feeding, I'm...

Called the Petco today and talked to the animal manager. Mentioned that the small cham thats been outcompeted for food, looks way to small and unhealthy, and doesn’t have the proper habitat, seems on its way out. Mentioned that if no-one would buy him at $350, and if his health turned further...

So, from a 2 minute mist it takes approx 3 hours for the enclosure to dry out. The 90sec mist time was just estimated by me before I added all the foliage. Post the 3 hours, when plants and encloseure are ‘dry’, the top of the cage (exposed) is at 40% humidity (approx house humidity), while...

Hi! Mark here. I'm new around these parts as well. Folks here are fantastic with their experience and generosity in advice. I'll hold any advice as I have none of value, aside this... A trained chameleon, with a small lance and tiny helmet, riding an owl into battle.

Sorry for your situation and I can empathize. Have had to let a number of pets go over the years (ferrets and dogs) and its never easy. In the aquarium hobby we have a way to euthanize fish painlessly and over a few hours. Is there no such option for reptiles? I do have a thought which would be...

Todays question... Misting an fogging. Yep, did a lot of reading (including the academy chart), did a lot of research, would like to know if this seems feasable as a starting point to wok from... 8am - Lights on and 90 second mist 9am - 90 second mist 7pm - 90 second mist 8pm - Lights out Mdnt...

Petco in Eatontown NJ a few nights ago. Two panthers in a small glass cage, one was 3x the size of the other. I asked how old they were and how long they had been in the small glass tank. Was told nobody buys them as they're too expensive ($350). Then told they were both the SAME AGE. They had...

Well, the last few days have been a hurricane of activity trying to finalize the build. All seems to have gone well, just need to set a few solid schedules. And, please meet Special Agent Fucifer Pardalis! Male Ambilobe YBBB Panther, 3 months old. Got him through Chi-Town Chameleons, in...

Don, Just started the regular misting shedule as the new kid has arrived. I'm sure theres no harm as these filters simply run the RODI through mineral rocks and its comppletely safe for humans, pets and plants. However, I never considered the residue potential. I'll let it go for a week and let...

Unfortunately I'm a bit wiped out and was typing fast and, in re-reading, was unable to make changes as I passed the edit point. Hope its understandable.

In a rush now. FOUND THE GUY WE WANT! :) Via Chi Chameleons. Looked online after weeks and the perfect fit was posted same day. Shawn is excellent to work with. Will post pics and full review soon. So... Stopped mucking around with experiments and picked up a 24" T5 unit. Between Amazon and...

Think this can answer a lot regarding RODI in fairly simple terms. New to here but something I'm familiar with as I'm in the saltwater tank hobbies as well. Here's the War and Peace expurgated version of water filtration... What is RO, Di, RODI... RO is reverse osmosis, its a way to purify...

Casque, The 13w CFs were all garbage at 8" down. Even directy under the lamp they were pushing, at most, 1.0. The 26w at 8" I was reading 5.0 or better. Actually had to raise the dome 3" to get basking area at 11" down to 3.2 Note that all the published charts don't post the CF 26w options...

Kaiz, thats where I'm at. The numbers I'm getting from the dome with the ET 26w bulb are decent. They cover basking approx 1' below the light at 3.2. At the canopy level 19-22" down its fairly consistent in the cone at 1.8-2.0. I do have a solarmeter 6.5 which has been invaluable in this. The...

This intrigues me... 6500K daylight LEDs with mild red and blue for plant growth and coloration plus a T5 slot for a UV. Considering picking up and grabbing an Arcadia UV bulb...

Point taken, bad wording on my part. Mods, can we please change the title to 'Eval of ExoTerra 26w 150 CF Bulb' or something like that? I'd do it myself but the edit function has passed its time. Apologies for misrepresentation. As per the bulb, as stated, I've been using 2 Solarmeters to...

Thanks Luke. Appreciate the compliment and the advice. Been in reef tanks for a while, different needs, but similar learning curve. Know to learn from those more experienced so I can give the future little guy a decent life. And ladder is gone after I type this post. Will replace with horizontal...

Sorry, new here, hope you don't mind. Seems your cham is OK, :) , but you seemed concerned about gout. Due to the wonders of genetics, I and my sisters all suffer from gout. I also knew a guy who had a dog with a rare case of gout. Due to what I do, I can offer a small bit of insight if you're...
