Just another point that might help you, How old is your UV bulb? If it is the original one from when you bout them in September, then it needs to be replaced, they usually only last about 6 months. If that's the case try to get her outside in some natural sunlight for a few hours, make sure...

Very Nice!

Looks great, you did a great job. They should be very happy! Actually I think more cages should be built like this, you have the best of both worlds, they hold humidity and allow ventilation.

Try flies, either house flies or blue bottle flies, jacksons love them and it will usually bring them off of a hunger strike.

I use one during the winter, it can be loud sometimes, however I have never had any problems with it. Mine is on a timer and runs 4 times a day for a half an hour each time. I have it connected to about 10' of CPVC pipe to do multiple cages. The reservoir usually last me about a week, give or...

If you do start out with the smaller cage, you can go ahead and get a 24" light for it, that way when you upgrade to a larger cage you won't have to buy a new light.

After misting you can try to use a q-tip to loosen the skin. It's a common problem with Jackson's. On a side note are you housing the male and female together or are they just together for breeding.

How old is the cham and what type? If he is only eating 5-6 each day then just give him that many instead of 10.

I have dealt with this in the past and have a cham with it right now. Typically when you see the eye like that it is a sinus infection. The eye just bulges because the area behind the eye fills with fluid. The eye is the softest spot for the fluid to gather and swell. Not to say that it...

How many hours did that take you on photoshop!

21 all day!

why would you even try giving him that then?

HaHa! Made me laugh. :D

I would say that large crickets are too large for him. At his size, if he eats just one it may fill him up, that is if he can get it down.

Have we lost punctuation and grammar all together. :D

I just saw your post and something caught my eye. You say you are using a 100 watt basking bulb, that seems high. I use 40 watt bulbs on my jaxs and the basking spot temp still reaches the low 80's sometimes and I have the same size cages. Just a thought that maybe your gage is off and he's...

Ok, so I won't be so harsh on you. First off, glass isn't the best option but with the screen cage on top it could work pretty well. Jackson's love to roam and the extra height with the screen cage on top would be good, a 36" screen cage on top would be best. With that said, I would...

In my experience, it's the glass. Chams just don't understand why they can't walk right through it and it can stress they out a lot just trying to figure it out. If you stick with a glass cage then tape paper on the sides and it will help, but without covering all sides he will still probably...

Your fine, if anything tape a piece of paper to the side of the leps cage and problem solved.

Thanks for the input Bobby and Jurgen. The night time temp drop info is very helpful, I knew they liked it cooler at night but didn't realize how much! Do you guys vary your suplemention any from a xanth or do you stick to the same schedule? Any other info is greatly appreciated.
