Hi Jay,
I've used them alongside Pathos in my Brev enclosures, and found them at LEAST as tolerant to high levels of moisture, and very fast growing. In my book, they are excellent for ground cover, yet can easily be draped as vines, depending on your needs.
Beautiful job saving your lovely lady!
Check out http://www.geocities.com/chamjacksonii/ for a good overview of Jacksons care. Don't be surprised if you rarely see her eat. I hand feed Pendergast but Skeeta insists on dining in "private" . I use a loose bucket-feed free range feeding routine...
Are you talking about substrate for pygmy chams? If so, the common recommendation is hydroton, screen, carbon, screen, and then organic potting soil/peat moss/sphagnum combination plus leaf litter and sterilized vines /twigs/branches. This allows for optimum excess water to be absorbed and...
I hope you are satisfied Trace, I just flushed my camera down the toilet!!:mad:
But those little beauties made me smile again.:D
Will you be gracing us with your presence next Sunday in Mississauga for the Reptile EXPO?
Just be careful with the halogen spots. Some of them "focus" heat, much like a magnifying glass does the sun, resulting in a nasty thermal burn. (been there when Skeeta was a young-un) Hold your hand a wide variety of distances from the light just to make sure (if it's too hot for you it's way...
Hi Whitley,
Do read the link posted thoroughly, it is quite informative.
The glass setup will do for the time being (I got the same thing when I started) but get a digital therm/hydrometer asap. (not much more than $10 at Zellers/Walmart etc.) A basking spot helps your cham get warm enough...
Hi Whitely and Wilson, welcome to the forums. Tons of great people and info here. Check out this site for an overview on your guy's needs. http://www.geocities.com/chamjacksonii/
Let us know what bad info you got and things will be in the right direction soon.
Lots of us Jackson owners...
Here are two of our beauties just completing a recent shed.
Skeeta at 2 and a half years...
and Pendergast (showing some wicked-cool reds) coming up on a year old ...
I'm 53 and work at an acupuncture clinic and have often had to deal with REAL pooh from REAL people. (they are less embarrassed if you have a sense of whimsy) Never felt the need to get TOO clinical about it, let alone here on the forum.
Okay, now I'm pooped. Time for a geezer nap!
When the weather gets nicer, scout your neighborhood for mulberry trees, and ask the home owners if you can "thin their foliage" a bit. Just make sure to wash the leaves thoroughly in case of spray. Once the silkies taste real leaves stand back and watch them grow! They refrigerate well, and I...
That nosy be is bluetiful!
As for the pooh, give it the deep six! Ya don't recycle YOURS do you? (do you):eek:
Hmmmm, dust bunnies, navel lint, toe jam, where will it stop?
My understanding (check with Trace for an expert's opinion) is they won't eat their young, but it's best to separate the babies for a more controlled environment. (don't want them getting lost in that great big cage) Just make sure you have plenty of pinheads and ffs on hand when you suspect...
I ran a cycle on Skeeta and Pendergast a little over a month ago, and BOTH are enjoying a nice shed today. Even in the harshest part of the winter they seem to have more energy than I was accustomed to seeing. Don't know for sure about parasites, but as a tonic I give it a thumbs up.
One of...
