I got 3 of the 4 chams to eat this morning. It was an expensive breakfast. They each ate 2 tiny horn worms. 2 of the three that ate also took down a small silk worm.
Still worried about them though.
They are a Pygmy Chameleon.
I am several hours into this now.
I allowed them to warm to room temperature and then placed them in the terrarium. I followed up with a good, warm mist. I'm tempted to spray again.
I recieved a shipment of 4 spectral chamleons today. When I got them out of the box they were very cold. The heat packs were spent. I figured that they were dead.
After a couple of minutes they began to move. Their eyes would open and then close. One at a time I placed them in their terrarium...
I wanted to get the heavy spray thing figured out because I read that you want it to dry down before spraying again. I will be sure to spray in the evening.
It is a 18x18x24 exoterra.
I was under the impression that this would more than accomodate 1.3?
I have 1.3 Spectral Pygmy Chameleons on their way from Florida Chams. I should have them on friday.
I have the cage pretty well down by this point. At 6:45 am it takes 20 squirts of water from my mister with a 70 degree room temperature to have the cage dried out by 3pm. The humidity is down...
I am about 3/4 of the way now towards completing my new enclosure. Definitely lacking some sticks and twigs in there. I have springtails, a fern and some moss on their way from Josh's frogs. Any comments and helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
The pump could need to be primed. When this happens to me, i pop the outgoing water hose off of the pump and let the water start to flow. Once the water begins flowing, I put the hose back in.
