hiya yes the repti sun strip bulb to give of uva/b and n additional heat bulb and reflector to produce the heat and light to bask underneath, or a powersun mercury vapour uva/b bulb gives of heat uva/b and light in one...quite good bit of kit for a cham but you must not place it inside the viv...
females can be housed together providing they have a big enough enclosure, but males never with males and never with females appart from when breeding it stresses the female out havinga male in there all the time trying it on!!! best to go for a solitary enclosure :p and be safe
you couls also use the arcadia reptile u.v lights they are also pretty good last about 9 months and emmit u.v a bit further that 6 inches around 12 inches downwards , i use the reptiglo strip bulbs and they are ok but they need changing quite oftern as the u.v gets weaker over a few months ...
hiya i live in the uk and have just done this and i am a girl and did it all on my own and its not that hard, i took the doors of and used a jigsaw to cut some large vents in the back and the top and the sides and fixed aluminum mesh from a store called b&q to them fro ventilation i have used...

sorry long message!!
its true what is being said im afraid.. id do see your idea of having a nice big enclosure for your chams but this is big and asking for some probs!! instead of one big viv why dont you change it slightly buy dividing it in half...make some sort of division that is not see...
yep i have started to dust the crickets witha good vit/mineral/and calcium supplement 3 times a week now and feed them well gut loaded crickets ectect. appart from the very slight wonky jaw they seem to be spound with regards to there put together...cant see and other disfiguerment.and they are...
its only very slight sort of looks like an overbit but on the side instread of the front and i just looked at his jaw the slight bowing is actualy only on one side deformatie perhaps???? i still think that the old breeder should have been giving them supplements too, i was supprized that when i...
hi could anyone tell me if you can reverse the effects of m.b.d in chams? i have just got some new chams from a breeder which are lovely and both are eating and active and look very healthy but i have noticed that there bottom jaws are ever so slightly bowing outwards and one of them looks quite...

i live in the uk and have built my own viv with wood sides and roof and glass sliding front doors with 2 larger mesh vents at the back and 2 smaller ones at the sides, its quite big and airy inside as the cham im getting is a small dwarf jackson pair, i think as long as its big enough for your...

unfortunatly yemans will chomp on all the plants that go in the viv so try a hibiscus plant,these can get big and provide a good climbing area for the cham and the leaves and floweres are really really good for your cham and they look great too as you could get diffrent colours of flowes like...
