Question about your schedule, is it better to do the evening most 30 minutes before the lights go off or 30 minutes after? My schedule right now is about the same as yours, but I do my evening mist a bit before the lights go off so he has time to drink water before going to sleep. Or maybe it...

Are the larvae ok to store in the container they came in? Do you just put food in there? Should I swap out the substrate? Would it better to store them in my 5gal bucket with my dubias? Also I really don’t want them to turn into flies lol. I read that you can store them in the door of the...

Sounds about right in marketing the other one with a lizard image 😂 Cool, I’ll give it a try. Thanks! Any preference between the two?

Both of these say in the description that they’re not designed for UVB bulbs

Following because I too wonder this!

Nice I am ready! Although I realized I’m going to be out of town for the holidays so I’m going to start with this small sample of eggs and then in the new year I’ll try more haha

Cool thank you! I’m starting with about 30 eggs just to test. I bought 300 and put the rest in the fridge for now.

I am all for the info! I also talk a lot, esp about subjects I am passionate about haha. Don’t get me started on cats and books! I’ll definitely read the article. I’m in San Diego so we have pretty moderate temps year round. Right now I have the eggs in my 75 degree garage. Think that’s warm...

I can’t get over how cute the moths are!! I almost feel bad feeding them to my Cham haha

As we all know, silkies are the best but can be pricey and hard to find. Has anyone here raised them? I just bought some eggs and I’m going to try! Open to all advice and feedback. I’m actually pretty excited for this little experiment haha I don’t love bugs but the silkies don’t bother me at...

Yeah ok this is the most similar picture I have seen as well! I think I saw another picture of Spike where I thought the same thing. I will continue to wait it out lol. As you can probably tell, this is my first Cham! And first reptile at that. So want to make sure everything is right. How old...

Acting totally fine! Eating like normal, climbing all around his new enclosure, haven’t seen any poops in a while but the last ones were good, eyes open and alert

Yeah white with a darker (black?) border

Guys, it’s happening again on the other side 😭 As you can see in the pic, he’s far down (9”) and it’s only 81 degrees. Bulb is the 100W daylight blue from zoomed (because the 20W zoomed nor 40W flukers were getting warm enough). He’s also going through a shed so maybe it’s related to that? I...

Update here, we finished the new enclosure! I think this one will be much better for his health. The highest branches are 9 or so inches from the light. In the meantime, I bought a Manuka honey paste to treat his thermal burn while I wait until I can get silvadene. Going to start treating that...

Yup, always elevated like that and yeah I can hold my hand there and it’s a comfortable temperature (if anything maybe a tiny bit too cold).

Thank you all so much! @Beman its only about 1-2” between the screen and the top branch so he can climb on the screen but he doesn’t. And no, no other bulbs have been used. @Steve A thats actually a really good point about the boxes. The fans aren’t blocking the light because they are behind...

Here is another photo of the spot

Dang, ok! UVB is reptisun T5 5.0. Heat bulb is zoomed 40w daytime bulb (picture attached). As you can see in the photos, both of them are about 6-8” from the baking branch. I actually just lowered it a tad yesterday because I noticed he was darker all day and the temperature in the cage ranges...
