Newbie question; anyone have thoughts or information on dusting the gutload as opposed to the feeders? Is it possible?

LED bulbs are better than the t5’s? Do you have a link to what you’re thinking... I was under the assumption that the LED tech wasn’t quite there...but I’m certainly not a lighting expert... New to all of this in general! I just genuinely like “rabbit holes”!?

It maybe more trouble than it's worth, I can absolutely concede that... I think you are correct in that some sort of temp/humidity gradients would have to be maintained, and vertical levels in a 23" space would probably not work. I still think it would be possible to add "some" additional lower...

I agree, planting strategy is probably key, and a great way to maximize plant health... We have replaced the fern at the bottom that was not doing so hot with a snake plant that should do much better in the lower levels of light. @DocZ really got me thinking though, with @PetNcs article on...

Yes, and even when the sun is high noon, the power and reflected light penetrate the forest canopy from multiple angles like no amount of overhead lighting could do...

Thanks, that makes sense...

What about a t5 single mounted vertically to the stand on the side? How much light is too much for a Cham? I mean I obviously don‘t want to blind him...

Has anyone tried using light for the side of the enclosure? Something to penetrate a bit farther into the plants... We’re having a bit of dead leaves on the lower levels. Everything up top or within reach of the 6500k is thriving and lush. Just wondered what everyone’s thoughts were, or any...

This worked for us! We put like 20 of them in there, he’ll leave 5-6 of them now and finish off the rest next day before we fill it again!

Light, more light. Not additional UVB, but 6500k daylight as @Beman mentioned. Otherwise, it looks outstanding!

2 month male Yemen

Great advise! Moved it up to basking height, right in front of his favorite spot and he eventually went for it after some careful consideration and observation! Thanks!

I’ll give that a shot tomorrow. ? And, yes, the crickets have grown, he hasn’t passed on one outside the feeder. But, we are due for a fresh batch of 1/4”. Thanks for the advice!

It’s on the door, right below his favorite limb/leaf...he notices the crickets in it, just won’t approach them. He’s got a small branch and a leaf for access, I’ve seen him make tougher approaches on loose prey. I‘m fairly confident we can work in the roaches down the road, just want to make...

We have a 2 month old male Yemen. We got him last Friday, so, 6 days... We are trying to encourage him to use a TK Chameleons Shooting Gallery feeder to keep better track of what he’s eating, he hates it... I don’t think he’s even attempted to check it out. He loves free range feeding and he...

He stripes up bright like this whenever he screen climbs...
