Your looking at 40 bucks from PetCo or PetSmart. I buy from LLL Reptile. They have good deals and great prices. I tend to shy away from shopping on the internet until I absolutely have to, so others on here might know of equal or better sites. With a PetCo PALS card, my 24 in 5.0 Reptisun cost...
Earlier this evening I was responding to a members question regarding the use of gloves while handling their cham to keep from getting bit. This brought back a flood of fond memories during my time working in pet stores and my local zoo and all the critters that have gotten the upper hand on me...
Ditto above. Up your mistings and run a dripper 8-12 hours to give her plenty of chances to drink. Waxworms are great "fat kid food" and you can get them at nearly any petstore. I to love the Reptaid, but you should do just fine without it. Keep a close eye on her and let us know how she does...

Schefflera all the way. Big, plenty of foliage for cover, easy to care for, and sturdy branches. Pothos are great for hanging and seem to never die:) I took mine out over two months ago, and they are still growing on my back porch!!
Julirs, if I am not mistaken, is refering to the plastic shielding covering the buld. It reduces the amount of light and adds an asthetic appeal. It also completely nullifies the UVB penetration into the cage. Just remove the cover and your good to go. If you cannot find a fixture at Wallmart...
Very sorry to hear about your loss:( Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care and keep your chin up, It sounds like it was nature that called on him, not nurture.
Thanks! I have a wireless security camera mounted on the wall by the closet. I just got done watching his antics during the day...... WOW!! I thought I was a busy boy! Everytime he was ready to eat a worm out his bowl the camera stopped recording. I did get a good shot of him shooting at a leaf...
