Sounds like you didn't push the hose into the fittings far enough. I did the same thing too when I first got it. As far as the hose vibrating, well that's common with that pump style, but it's the best pump for the job.
I stick a tube in the tank where I keep my crickets. The crickets hide in the tube. Once I get the amount I want, I remove the tube and shake it over a small critter keeper. I use the critter keeper to gutt load the crickets and once it's time to feed them off, I dust them and dump them into...
I use Miracle Grow Organic potting soil. It's the only organic stuff I can seem to find around me. I just make sure to break up the big clumps and take any large items out of the soil (bark, etc.). He's been eating the soil and haven't had a problem with it. It's seems a normal thing for...
I think the only real advantage to using RO water would be the fact that you will not get calicum buildup in your nozzles or on the plants. As far as not having any minerals, you are correct. I have heard may people use it successfully with herps, however. I think that chams also get alot of...
I think it all depends on what nozzles you are using with your mister system. The nozzles contriol the spary and the size of the water drops. I don't really think temperature matters because once the water leaves the nozzle, for fine sprayers, the water automatically becomes the same temp as...
I cannot imaging having to remove that material. I cannot hold my guy still long enough to remove shed skin around his eye, let alone do a delicate proceedure like that.
I am glad it worked out.
In the never ending quest to fully automate my Cham enclousure, the last thing I needed was a humitity controller. I current have a Spyder Robotics Herpstat Pro which automates lighting/heating (it is pricey but worth much more, it's an awesome peice of equipment that I highly recommend. Even...
Very nice looking Cham! Love the colors. Please do not take this wrong as I am new to this and am just asking a general question but am I wrong that your cham looks small for an 8-9 month old? I would say, from what I can see that my Panther, who will be 6 months old on Friday is larger than...
The layout of the cages is different but only because of the size difference. I have the same plants and same vines in both however. I think it definatley depends on your specific cham. Some may be able to deal with it no problem and some will get too stressed out.
I went a little different route with my cage. I bought 2 cages:
1) 3'H x 3'W x 2'D as his every day cage. Sure this is way huge for a new born but he'll be able to grow into it and I don't have to worry about buying something new down the line.
2) I bought a medium size screen cage from...
Every Cham is different. It may not accept a new food at first or it may go crazy as if it's never eaten before.
Every cham I've ever had has accepted all food items without reservation. I would start with Silkworms however. Chams love 'em. For my 2 chams, the first food I offered both of...
How many crickets he eats a day depends on numerous factors:
1) Size of crickets
2) Time of day offered
3) General activity of the cham
4) Cham disposition - some chams just eat more than others
I typically offer my cham food that is on the larger size. Whether you buy 1000 1/4" crickets...
Nice Cham. You will be happy with him. I too have a baby from Kely-Andro born towards the end of April. This was the first paring between Kely-Andro and Rivadoza's daughter. According to the Kammers the babies are huge, hearty, GROW FAST and eat like pigs!!! They told me they will keep this...
