Thanks! I did a base of clay balls first (2-3”) then mixed organic black soil 40% with coco coir 40% and 20% mulch along with a bit of sand. I also laid down a layer of charcoal and topped up with leave litter.
No, my house humidity is normally around 30% but it is cool and raining now so it's about 45% And yes I would think the basking spot would be much drier...I have the probe in the other side of the tank. Like where should the probe for the mister be suctioned? I moved the fan to the bottom...
Things seem to be working well in my new set up and I have no trouble getting the humidity up to 90% during the night. But then it takes at least till noon to get it back down to around 60% Is this a problem ? Also, I mounted a little computer fan on the mesh top so that it sucks the air out...
This thing looks huge and has to weigh a couple hundred pounds. I had to have my two son in laws help.
I think I have it fairly ready and hoping the plants grow fast so he has hiding places. Most of the plants are from my collection here so fingers crossed.
I put a 3” leca clay balls on the...
Thanks so much! Even though I have watched countless videos and podcasts from Bill Strand ..it’s still nice to have you guys have my back!!
Is there a way I can look up members and see they’re Chams on here?
Absolutely! I’m wondering now if I should do two separate lights up top as the screen top has two sections. Each side lifts off separately… the mid support is a solid frame and covers a 4” wide strip. So a 48” UVB would be interrupted mid stream by this bar. What are your thoughts on that...
Thanks so much!!! I actually got it figured out! (Proud of this 70 yr old gramma lol)
I was setting it on a 12 hr cycle instead of the 24 !
Anyways, all good!!! Thanks again for reaching out.
I’m very sorry for your loss. He obviously was a very special boy. ❤️
I do have a backup generator as I have parrots and and a tortoise and frogs etc I was just wondering how many hours basically I could leave it without too much concern.
My daughter and I went back to the reptile store to purchase the 3 mth old veiled male…but I fortunately someone beat me to him just prior to us getting there 😭. The owner showed us a 4 mth old ambilobe panther male. Price tag on him was $750. And I didn’t want to spend that amount. Long...
Okay! Thanks again so much!! I will do exactly that!!
It does have a ventilation bar that runs the 48” along the bottom front of the tank.
What dimensions should the perches be? I was going to vary them somewhat. But is there a certain size that they prefer that I could make sure to have...
Okay that I shall do! ( I’m trusting you over the reptile place I’m getting him from) 😃. So when he wants to bask he will also be under the UVB bulb as well? Or very close to it. Correct ?
No this is a tank for reptiles. Has 2 sliding front doors and a 6” bottom for water or plants etc and a...
So my tank is 48" long and I've been told that I should put a 24" UVB on the one side and then the basking bulb on the other side. Is this correct or should I be adding a longer length bulb?
thanks!
Thank you! That helps me a lot!
So my daughters bought me a 4 mth male panther yesterday as an early gift!!
I have the tank now and won’t bring him home till it’s set up and ready for him. I’m so excited!!
