I know this sounds funny but my female veiled "natasha" loves to seek out the chirpers that are just singing away oblivious to there impending doom. I dont know if she hears them real well or the vibration when they chirp. But they don't get to do it long because she is on them. Just thought i'd...
It would be neat. Alot of possibilities. You could fill it to its line with water and get a 11.99 heat pad and stick to the bottom and have a mini incubator. If you got the right temps. My first incubator was a 6$ styrofoam cooler with a aquarium heater in the water below that I made and it...
I'd like for someone with a sensitive scale to weigh an egg immediately after hatching and directly before hatching to see if they change weight due to moisture absorption. Just a thought. If that is the case this product might be like a dehydrator rack for cham eggs. Someones bound to have used...
Ive made 3 2x2 ones that are 2x2x4 and one cube 2x2x2. There fun to make but with some of the deals out there. lllreptiles 2x2x4 79$. And the drip pans that are made for that size it is tempting. Im always thinking about drainage. I still dont know the long term effects on my 2x2 cages of water...
When I give mine superworms as a treat I put a few in a cleaned out sour cream container. They both will come down from there basking spots when they see that container enter their enclosure. Mine are pretty fast hunters but when they were smaller I used a sour cream container then so I could...
I like that one too brokentail but those pre-did screen panels are expensive sometimes. I still havent added up the price of splines and aluminum frame but next time I go to lowes or menards I will. That would be sweet to just buy 4 panels and maybe even the top and bottom panels.
I like these plans alot. You could use a small tote which you could use as a water catch and maybe later put a drainage tube in ect. You also dont have to use that hardware mesh you could use mesh which would be cheaper. Id still use metal screen for the top so you dont have to worry about it...
I hope your chameleon can survive the next couple of months while you make a cage. LLLreptile makes those cheaper mesh screen cages for 26.99. This wont be his adult home but a small one like this makes it easy for the cham to hunt and to regulate its own temp. Really a pretty good deal. Then...
It doesn't sound like you have done "tons of research". Having your cham in a glass cage outside and all. Build him this cheap little outdoor cage and put a plant in it and mist him while he's in the sun every now and then. I and probably most people on this site recognized your problem in...
2x2's and plastic mesh for the sides and metal mesh for the top in case you get a bulb too close. Stapler and a friend to hold it up for you and help you stretch the screen tight. Total cost for a 2x2x4 is under 40$ no problem. Be warned making cages is addictive. Ive built 5 now always changing...
I like to gutload my crickets with some of the foods I purchase and use regularly like spinach leaves or carrots, apple slices,pear really all kinds of fruits.I dont put anything in my cricket bin thats real sticky or messy because I get it out of there before it rots. I stay away from potatos...
I like what you said SpinyFranky. The Chams never will love us. They tolerate us at best. We should all remember that they are captives and even with our best efforts we can't completely simulate there natural environment. They dont have to worry about some threats that they would in the wild...
