I have spent lots of time reading and everything supports that the 10.0 is too much and the 5.0 is more than sufficient for supplying UV to chams.Im no expert by any means just relaying what I have commonly read.
I just ordered a digital Ther/Hygro off ebay hoping it will be here by the end of the week. For $12 I think Im gonna buy from Walmart tonight so I can make sure my temps and humidity are good.I guess I can always use one for basking spot temps and the other for temp outside of the basking spot.
It is 2.5X2.5X5' with the legs i built on closer to 6'.Think I am gonna add casters to the legs so I can move it easier.Also will get Kai a little higher up so he feels as safe as he needs to.
I used the fiberglass screen on my cage and its flexible.I cant see how it would dull their nails. Kai is like freakin spider man in there so Ill have to keep an eye out.
Yeah I read someones cham was aggitated by the color red but figured it was just case specific. Had no idea chams had color preferences.Now I gotta buy curtains for my fiance and Kai (what did I get myself into)LOL!!!!!
Not using the 60W anymore.It seems kind of dark still so what should I do to add light w/out adding more heat? Just switching to a lower wattage housebulb like a 40W ok?
Plant is a Majesty Palm and is on the safe list.Cant find any Ficus in St louis right now.And the other plant is a Schefflera. One light was for basking and the other one was to add more light guess its too high of wattage.What wattage is good for just illumination(40W blue bulb ok?)
I used Majesty Palm and Schefflera they both look awesome I think.The palm is completely non toxic according to link I got from jannb. Its tall and fills out the space nicely.Have fun w/ your decorating its all trial and error anyways.
-Lighting: 100w Basking bulb. Reptisun 5.0 18in. tube, 60 w house bulb for more light since cage is so big(is this too much?)
-Plants : Majesty Palm and Scheleffera all washed up and covered soil w/ large rock. All plants are live and all branches are real too except for one fake vine and two...
So I finally got Kai male veiled moved in his new domain. What a relief! I have never owned a reptile or built a cage so I hope I did ok.What do ya think? Also I bought him from a guy who kept him in a wire bird cage that was not big enough for a male veiled so anything wouldve been an...
I have 2 cricket keepers.I use one for keeping the crickets and the other for gutloading the day before feeding then I just open the lid and put it in my veileds cage. Youd think he had some Nikes on he gets there so fast. But I always put it in the same place. And after each feeding I wash it...
Here is link that says its non toxic.http://www.library.okstate.edu/Vetmed/about/ieatplants/plants.htm
Its not on flchams site though so I am still unsure.Anyone else use this or know about it?
So I have been religiously reading forums and blogs on here hoping to absorb all the info I can without bothering all of you.But sometimes this site can leave you confused and unsure if you are doing the right thing.There was a link on here with a list of non toxic and toxic plants,The Majesty...
Should have cage finished tomorrow and moving Kai in! I cant wait so he has more room to roam around.Ive spent alot of time on it,but it was all worth it.Post pics of completed cage later.
