Hmm... seems odd me asking but how do i lower my temp, as mine seems to sit around 75-80 even after misting and i have no way of regulating my light unless i switch it off, the temps are alot lower at the bottom but he still spends all his time at the top :confused:
Ive always wanted a tortoise in with my cham but have never mixed reptiles, was always told mixing reptiles can cause disease, ive seen on another forum a while back someone keeping fish in with there waterdragons !
My cham seems to still be wolfing down his food whilst shedding, first time ever, he never usually, even sneaks abit of dried skin in with his meal, ive heard this a good sign :)
Just a couple of pics after my re vamp on discovering waterfalls were a no go for chams, i'll have to get some more updated pics to as these images were before i introduced all my branches, twigs ect so looks pretty bare
Just waiting on the exo terra monsoon to be released and abit of...
Ive just used plastic plants as my flooring, looks pretty impressive in my own settup so maybe worth a try to see whether it'll look smart in your own, alot easier to clean to :D
Oh Sugar, i'll keep that in mind, theyve been in now for around 3months since i bought them, he's both eaten and drank from his plants and he's still pretty healthy, have i struck lucky? Either way there getting re potted with new soil as soon as i get the opportunity !
Drinking isnt really an issue, as much as people at the shops state that you rarely see your cham drink, i see my cham drink near enough everyday during misting and thats eitha by firing at the wall or firing at droplets on the plants, as for feaces everythings fine from what i can see, my only...
I no a lot of people cover pots and that to stop there chams eating soil, but what is the down side to this? Surely soil doesnt cause compaction does it? Only my Cham seems to be firing quite a lot at scattered soil on the floor but only when its moist!
Haha does anyone else think that the dried skin on the first picture looks like the two squirrels off Ice Age 3 or am I looking to much into it lol otherwise beutifull cham, think a panthers next on the cards for me when i move out :D
Thanks everyone for the info, looks like ill be out purchasing garden gloves :D just glad its a sign he's healthy and not otherwise, lots of natural wood in there for him, so seems like its just curling im lookin out for ;)
I handled my Cham today for the first time in a while and his nails have become so sharp he drew blood when he gripped onto me, i was told that a chams nails would only ever need clipping if they started to curl, but this isn't the case, is this normal? What should i do?! :confused:
Escaping, the little buggers always used to escape and id get an absolute ear full of my sister, not to mention the chirping noise, i no you can buy silent ones but thats worse because when they escape and you then carnt find them, i just wont handle them either, no particular reason just dont...
