She is always like this color though! Even when I'm not around and she used to go lay down right when her basking light went off but now she just roams around til the UV B goes out showing blacks and greens. I don't see her scratching to get out or digging but it makes me wonder why she kind of...
I cant lol shell turn black and blow sideways on her branch. She has been displaying these colors all month. only blue and golds when she is pacing around but black bars and dots while basking. She wasnt interested in food at first but has now been very excited for it the past two days now. She...
Ohh good a mist king, nice purchase. It makes things a lot easier when you have everything setup and you know your info.
A temp gun i really recommend so you can get your chams exact temp while basking. Also you can check the temp any where in the cage with ease!
Where do you plan on getting...

Most people would agree its not very natural. All you really need is a 60 Watt incandescent house bulb smaller or bigger wattages depending on how far away the basking lamp is.
How big is your cage for him?for his age? Is it above your head? Chams like to be as high up as they can be
If he's scratching to come out I would buy a hibiscus, schflerra, or ficus tree to take him out outside in for some sun rays if the conditions are right. This is a good opportunity to...

As for checking temps I use this exact temp gun, it...
That may be fine but i am not too sure. I put rocks in my pots before adding soil and the plants. You can also mix sand with your soil to help draining. any plant food would be fine. I use feeder poop though.
That should be plenty of light. Idk if you should put a uvb on the bottom side of your cage, I am guessing you're trying to say? Your cham should be able to get away from the UV B so Ive read. My schflerra on the bottom the cage is loosing all the stems on the bottom because it's not getting a...
she isnt showing any gravid colors but idk if they all do this. Cut back on her food and keep her between 80-83 body temp while basking. This will slow her metabolism and she wont be so hungry! Also you can put a little container of sand in her cage to see when she is actually trying to dig.
pothos is pretty hard to kill. I have mine hanging so it is pretty close to the lights, this could help if you could get one hung. Also with it hanging the vines give plenty of climbing area. What kind of UV B are you using?
Also when you clean your chams cage or take them out, bring the plants...
