They also live at higher elevations and the percent of UV exposure goes 2-10% or so for every 1000 meters of elevation.
I kept mine at a higher UVI as well
I definitely understand having trouble with variety when they turn everything down. For my Hoehnelii they ate silkworms, mealworms, very small discoid and Dubia roaches, green and blue bottle flies (favorites). BSFL, but they likes black soldier flies even more. Fruit flies, bean beetles….Red...
Fantastic ideas!
Don’t forget Hoehnelii, campani, willsii, and the list goes on……
@kinyonga is absolutely correct (as always), but don’t run, get more and join the madness 😁
I copied that off their website. You will be adding more of all of the fat soluble vitamins by switching from Repashy to Reptivite by a fairly significant percent
I’m sure you already have, but also consider your feeder variety and your feeder’s food variety as well. I think there’s...
Here’s what I can find after a quick look.
Repashy LoD:
Reptivite with D3:
Both have fat soluble vitamin content of roughly 100:10:1 A:D:E, but Reptivite is about 20-25% higher across the board.
Reptivite appears to have a higher content of % calcium, and a 2:1 Ca to phosphorus ratio. I...
Here’s the spectrum of wave points 12000K and 6500K bulbs. Aside from some differences in the green and blue spectrum, they are very similar. It really is describing what we perceive the color of the light to be, so use the one you prefer
Definitely check out your UVI readings with a UVB meter
The 12000k might be fine. The kelvin rating on fluorescent and LED bulbs only describes the visual hue humans perceive, it doesn’t necessarily show spectrum. A 6500k bulb will look more like sunlight, but it’s spectrum may be much different than natural light. Those bulbs are there to grow...
It’s funny the things we do for the hobby. I keep a branch pile in my yard. I watered and harvested a huge dandelion in one of my outdoor planters all summer last year to feed my bugs 🤷♂️😂
Don’t go lurking again. Keep active, asking questions, and challenging concepts.
I definitely do not agree with water bowls as the main source of hydration for chams, but I appreciate you speaking up. I think a lot of Cham health issues come down to improper hydration, and I think...
Welcome @wixard !
You have come to the right place to find knowledgeable, supportive keepers to help you out. And I would say it’s probably ok to ignore much or all that is on the Reddit site.
Ask lots of questions here, fill out a husbandry form, and check out https://chameleonacademy.com/...
If you can set an outlet to come on and off for a couple of minutes a few times per day, you should be able to run your mister with it
unless it has a separate timer like the mist king’s do, but then you don’t need to use the Zilla timer
I think this all sounds good. Your basking temp may be a bit high. I run all my heating devices on dimmable thermostats to avoid large fluctuations and too high of temps.
As @Sonny13 mentioned, you may not need to run the fogger the entire time between 1 and 6 AM. If you are using a screen...
I use this one. I suspect over time junk clogs them all up eventually even if you use RO water
