This was the orange guy, the 6.5

Thank you so much!

So it sounds like even though I'm not specifically AT 3.0, I should stick to 2x a month for the multi/d3? Will definitely look into adding more to the bottom of the cage as time goes on, and yeah you're right, I do like me a clean cage bottom that's easily removed and cleaned. If anything can be...

Hey all! It's been a WHILE since I've been on here. I'm going to be receiving a little Nosy Be boy from Kammerflage sometime next month and I've been setting up my enclosure closely following Bill Strand's guide over at Chameleon Academy. The one thing that seems a bit off is the amount of UVB...

Interesting! I might have to try this out as I'm getting a baby panther in the next month and wanna do the naturalistic hydration cycle with the misting/humidifier in bursts overnight and a full dry out during the day, but if my night time temps are too high, like this summer, I'd worry about RI

Hey all, Hope everyone's been safe. I haven't been as active on here because I've basically hit a stopping point prepping my chameleon cage for another panther, and since lots of things are close down, it's just been sitting. However, I have spotted a few bugs like this in there, usually one...

It sounds like I actually have the same fixture as you and am in the middle of re-setting up my dragonstrand 4ft tall enclosure for a new panther in the late spring early summer. Here's some shots of my basking/UV branch with measurements and UV meter readings.

That’s so odd. I’ve installed the plastic bulkhead on two standard curved buckets and have had no issues whatsoever.

No worries! I'm more than happy to tell people about the many mistakes I've made along the way. At one point in time my poor guy contracted a parasite and I stripped out the whole cage and found dubia wedged into a plant and along the back corner of the enclosure. Who knows how long they'd been...

My personal recommendation with dubias is not letting them free roam the cage unless you're setting them free in front of him and he's getting them right away. They are excellent at hiding, much more so than crickets. Might be a good idea to get a feeding cup or two that you can use to keep the...

Just wanted to update this with my solution! I bought this: Exo Terra Lamp Holder Bracket for Reptiles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007D1BUJY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OqaAEbMHNG0QS Now this thing had some concerning reviews about the adhesive not working and lights falling, but what I did was drill...

Turns out it wasn’t so much the fan as it was the vibration between the fan and the aluminum housing, hard plastic directly contacting it. Solution wound up being putting some very thin cuts of Velcro between the fan and the housing and drastically quieter!

My goal is to get my Pothos to thrive and keep other easy plants alive. This guy was positioned under my mist king rain dome. It definitely is alive but not thriving. It was getting too much water and not enough light. I removed the overhead rain dome in lieu of just the nozzle in the cage and...

Technically anything metal, like the screen side and other rough surfaces have the potential to hurt their mouths and tongues, but I never had an issue with tong feeding. Some feeders are a bit feistier than others. I got a nasty bite from a superworm one time and decided, no more hand feeding...

And like I said, for interaction with him, I'd focus on trying hand feeding, even with tongs first. Just be careful not to get him hooked on worms. They LOVE superworms, but it's like feeding him a french fry haha

Welcome to the forums! Not a bad idea to check in here when you're not sure about things since there's a lot to know. Couple of things stand out to me right out of the gate. I think you should prioritize getting a linear T8 or T5 bulb for your UVB. I don't think you're screwed with the lights...

If he's sleeping with lights on, I'd say that's a cause for concern. If you did the cage clean during nighttime/lights out hours maybe not?

Can we see some pictures of the enclosure? If you have a drainage tray, I just did something with mine that’s pretty easy to replicate
