If you look there is still a ton of fliage for him to hide in. It may look a little thin in the pictures, but there is still a ton of places to hide. The only place that may be considered "in the open" is part of his basking spot, but it is right where he went to and warmed up so i dont think he...
So i had to get my setup ready for my little guy this morning and there are tons of writeups and recomendations but none with pictures so i figured id help out and take pics for everyone. I will apologize now and say sorry for the poor quality, my Nikon is dead cuz i just got back from vacation...
they can ingest the substrate which could lead to impaction. Lucky bamboo is HORRIBLE for chams, if they eat it it can be poisonus to them and veileds tend to be vege eaters
get the bamboo and substrate outa there and it looks perfct
Ive always done a little of both. Ill throw 4 or 5 free range and watching the hunting process then throw another 10ish in the feeding cup so i can make SURE he is eating. Its also nice to see when you do the feeding cup meathod you come to the cage and the cham goes looking for food/recognizes...
does this mean your going to have little Merlleri babies or just eggs?! Im so down to get one from you :)
I would be kind of worried about the pond to be honest. I know chams dont fall very often, but i have seen it and my veiled used to try and climb on branches that were too small for him...
a single linear tube 5.0 UVB will give your little guy all hte UVB he needs, just get the biggest one that will fit ontop of the cage. I always rung mine within 2" of the overall width of the cage. Try adn get the UVB and heat as close together as possible. People a lot smarter than me said its...
Its all about the same.
A few things that can help.
Are you misting your cham with an auto mister, pump mister (like a garden type one) or a spray bottle? The water you mist with should be nearly scolding hot to your touch before you mist. I know it sounds really stupid, but once it travels...
I just did a little reading on the monsoon, i assume your talking about the exo-terra one and i would stay away from it. I saw some people on the tropical frog forums sy its a piece of junk and a fancy box. Call marty at mistking or kevin (summoner12)
ITS SO CUTE!!!!!!!
like the others have said, night bulbs arent good for chams because they really can see almost everything lol. If your house stays in the 60* or above youll be fine, but ceramic heat emitters are the way to go if you need something to heat them at night. I dont think the...
you can never have too many walkways as long as the cage is balanced!
post pictures, its always easier to get encolsure help and questions answered with pcitures
I used to mist for 3-4 minutes 3 times a day and then on the weekends or any day i was home id mist for an extra 30-45 seconds just so my little guys got some extra water
What company made the gauge? My flukers always seems to line up with my Accurite, and my Accurite seems to line up pretty...
for cages most of us go to LLLreptile.com Ive also seen people starting to use DIYcages.com cages too. I think they are about the same price and the same quality.
PM summoner12, i know he has auto misters. IDK how much they are comparable to the others, but its worth a shot.
Congrats on...
i like to give them a night drop, what you might do is get a ceramic heat emitter thats around the 75W mark and have it turn on when your heat bulb turns off and let that keep if in the mid-low 70*s F (sorry i dont know C). I always liked to give mine nighttime drops, regardless of age, but 86*...
lol if youve ever been to CA you would understand the drive from orange county to san diego is about the same as skinning yourself. The 5S is the WORST freeway in the history of history. its about 35-40 miles and is easily a 2+ hour drive last time i made the trip down there
idk what the temps are where you are at but 100W is ALOT! you dont want to cook your little guy. What are your daytime temps with that 100W spot lamp? Its alot easier and safer to use jsut a standard household bulb for heat, or if you want a big bulb like that, me and my monitor friends use the...
A misting schedule really just depends on humidity needs as a basis. The joy of them is you can have longer misting sessions without the hassle, but keep humidity up longer. The time is pretty much more of a trial and error basis that you figure out once you get one. I really dont think you can...
Thanks!!!
I was holding off on going down to LLL for the fact of 1) i cant go there without spending way extra money 2) i dont like the drive down there 3) see 1 and 2 lol. They were going to be my last resort.
