    Panther chameleon gender help

    Ah yes the inbetween age. My vote is a girl. I see no divot, it just tapers to tail. Boys at this age normally have a "dent". Boy butt of a month older one.

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ok after a massive amount of googling, all Mistkings run on 24 volt DC. and that connector is the standard rc car hobby tamiya connector.

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Well that connector looks like the standard issue molex connector that every RC car had in the 90's. So it might be easy to find. Or if you are a bit diy(and you are in the EU so its even easier), you can use a set of wago lever nuts. The only issue i see is the adapter does not explicitly...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ill be honest, im pretty DIY. When my pump died, i just bought a RO booster pump used. It was an Aquatec. All you have to do is make sure the voltage matches what your mistking runs on. They can run on anything, 220 120 24vac 24dc, you name it. In my case it was pretty potato and just ran...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ah what if we are going at it the wrong direction. What if its not sucking in water due to a clog in the pickup tube. Again it should be shooting you in the face. We are talking a 2-3ft arc straight up easliy. These are Aquatec 6800 clones. Full flow they should be able to fill a gallon jug...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Its a membrane pump. So its basically a hydraulic jack. They are meant to produce low flow high pressure. I dont see how a line could clog to the point of stopping the pump. These are not fish tank squirters, they can very easily fill a car tire up with 60 psi of water. I guess you could...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    I think you got clogged nozzles. Take a nozzle off and see if you have tons of flow. All these misters are just glorified reverse osmosis booster pumps with a lizard sticker slapped on them. And nozzles are universal and cheap...

    Handling Scratches

    The little foot isnt the problem. The little head trying to nom nom you is. You wrap in fluffy towel, and try to find a foot. The tegu isnt much fun either. You basically bend over and grab a foot, and then walk with the tegu while clipping. Lucky there is no nom noming involved. I only...

    Moving

    I am also part of the grow tent master race. But if its just for "transportation" for a few days. Just get a small light proof box with a few sticks stabbed through it (and air holes of course). He will just goto sleep and wake up in the new place.

    Handling Scratches

    Without very hard climbing branches (bamboo etc) they wont knock down the hypodermic needles at the end of the nails. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/claws.164268/#post-1419619

    Me again...with another question?

    Normally you would want the pc fan pushing in from the bottom. Also this would help drop the humidity to ambient quicker. The slow drop in humidity shouldnt be a problem as long as you are not noticing mold growth. What you dont want is "wet cage" all day long. You want it to dry out at...

    Do I have the correct replacement UVB bulb?

    Yes they will look totally normal when the UVB drops to half or whatever. Its why i rotate them out into 6500k bulbs, they still look "daylight". The old "six months and replace" was before T5HO bulbs existed. Back before the financial crisis the T5 bulbs even at 12% were putting out 1/4th...

    Do I have the correct replacement UVB bulb?

    Yes both arcadia and zoomed say guaranteed a year. I have a meter and normally get 2-3 years before they become "half output". In which case they get retired to be used as 6500k bulbs, as i run 1 uvb and 1 normal in order to keep my plants alive. or in some cases the beardies get 12% bulbs...

    Do I have the correct replacement UVB bulb?

    Its yearly for the T5 unless you have a meter. and yes you want the 6%. If you cant find a 6%, or its holly expensive, you can also use the reptisun T5HO 5.0. I have ran both for 12 years, and my meter cant tell the difference. They are both made in germany 6 phosphor units that have a 1...

    What length of UVB bulb/fixture for a 48" wide tank?

    You want a wide variety of stick diameters. You can have logs(or cork bark flats) all the way to sticks so small they cant support the full weight of the cham (potho vines etc). You dont want "mostly the same size" or they can end up with "bird foot" where the feet adapt to only one diameter.

    They will vastly increase cricket consumption as they become teenagers and go through their last growth spurt. You gotta notice they are doubling in weight every month or two. So imagine the last double, thats going to need alot of crickets. Once they are adults eating will drop off a cliff...

    Free-range in bedroom

    My free range is setup different. I have sticks going from the cage to the window. I also have plenty of sticks going down to the carpet. I keep the bedroom door shut 24/7, so no cats. If i did have cats living in the room, they would not be in the room during cham time. But you would be...

    Leaving for the day

    If its a male you dont have to skip feedings. But once he is full grown and no longer a cricket vacuum, you do not want to feed small meals every day. At that point its larger meals a few times a week. But yea once they are teenage they will start acting weird and may even get aggressive...

    Leaving for the day

    If full grown or teenager, dont worry about it, they can go days and days. I have done fine since 1995 just feeding them on the weekends with a light snack mid week. U want hunger strikes, feed everyday. Or just yolo and when you leave throw a handful in and say god speed. Then the hunt begins.
