Ckk, have you been anticipating needing a new cage? There seem to be two schools of thought, and depending on who helped you choose your setup, you could go one of two ways. Some people suggest starting with an 18x18x36 cage for Baby/Juvenile. But then switch to a 24x24x48 cage when they...
Just for clarification, a “screen” cage is screen all around. Not just the top. The stagnant air causes respiratory issues in glass cages.
Respiratory issues are very common and deadly in Chams.
Also, familiarize yourself with D3 overdoses. You want to ensure he’s not getting too much. I...
For the last 5 days, I've been letting Cosmo come out of the cage and hang out in an umbrella tree I bought. He seems to like it a lot. At least that's what it seems like.
The tree sits beside his cage. I've been finding him exploring his cage more and I'm pretty sure he's trying to figure...

Four LEDs with different peak wavelengths, 293, 295, 298, and 305 nm, were used in this study (Fig. 1).The 293 nm LED was obtained from RayVio (Hayward, CA, USA), 295 nm and 305 nm was from Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc (SETi, Columbia, SC...
I've recently read an article about various UV range LEDs. They were shown to be very effective in stimulating vitamin D production in both humans and mice. It seems the technology is using gallium nitride to give the bulbs a peak in the various UV ranges. The same technology is used to cure...
I saw an article where it was suggested cricket frass increases the capsaicin in peppers. The frass causes the peppers to “up” their defenses. In peppers, its spice!
Cosmic shed two days ago. There is a slight bit of stuck shed at the very tip. Its too far back to cut circulation. Should I try and get it off, ot let it come off on its own?
It isnt so loose. Itll stress him out taking it off.
The little guy just ran onto my hands to get to his tree. Then was ok with walking on my hands back into his enclosure.
I bought a vine for that purpose, but he thinks its a snake.
Cosmic got a new tree for outside the cage fun! I put it in front of his cage and opened the door. He ran right out and started climbing. It looked like he was happy, but he was also flaring his bright colors. Was nice to see, but hope he wasnt stressed.
I know if i put the tree there for...
Cosmic's bottom lip looked a little funny earlier. He's also been rubbing his face a bit on branches. I suspected a shed was coming, but want to make sure. If not, I'll post the form for help.
I really enjoy watching Cosmo and trying to understand a bit about body language and what I can learn from it. I know that various colors can represent different moods, but so far, nothing has been obvious. There are two things he does that I can read.
First, when I open the cage with the...
