    DIY HD 'Auto Mister' for under $100

    Ahhh... so THAT'S how you did it. :D And HI again...long time no see. Ok, makes sense. Since I have a tight morning schedule, I might refill it at night but wait till morning to pump it up. That should work. I'll go ahead and set it for 4hr intervals (8am, Noon, and 4pm) and if it mists at...

    DIY HD 'Auto Mister' for under $100

    Ok, I have a question about auto mist systems like this one. I was sold a homemade mister by SoCaliSon (:D) that uses an Orbit digital timer like this one: Orbit 2-dial digital timer I have replaced the fittings and all is go... but how on earth do you program it to only mist during the...

    AJ's Siblings!!! Post pics of your Veilds from Juli!

    Ok, apparently my little Morpheus belongs in this thread as well. :D Here's the only pic I have so far, right out of the shipping box: I'll try to get a few more pictures once he's returned to his, now moved to a better spot, main cage tomorrow morning. :)

    New Cham is here!!

    Oh, I have been instructed by my BF to correct some assumptions. He was not named for the character in the 'Matrix' but for the figure that the Matrix character was named for. i.e. the Greek god of sleep and dreams. :) The reason for this being 75% of our reptiles have Greek or Latin...

    New Cham is here!!

    Ah! So that's the reason. :D Now I feel better knowing it's not just him. ;) Thanks for having such a great line, Juli! I'm so glad to have one of them. He's doing well so far. Spent the night in his Ficus tree and headed right to the basking spot first thing after I'd finished misting and...

    New cage issues

    :) Plans are underway for the move. A few things have to be rearranged and I have to cut some fabric for a curtain (since we stay up late on the computers). Thanks for the reassurance and suggestions. :D Hopefully he won't mind being taken out of his new cage to be placed in his holding cage...

    New Cham is here!!

    Nope, no apparent injuries from meeting the bottom of the cage. A few moments after landing, he found the screen at the back and climbed up to the top again. :) Had a brief scare just now though: I came home from an errand and heard a loud crash in the cage! I checked the bottom...and one of...

    New cage issues

    BUMP! Ok, now I have a question for all you experienced owners out there: I figured out a way to rearrange things so that his cage can be placed in the 'office' - a much more temperature stable room with less regular traffic and movement. When could I move him, though? I have a nice...

    New Cham is here!!

    :D Thanks for the comments all. Actually, according to Chad this little guy is notorious for being very calm and laid back. Which suits us fine since we've had our fill of aggressive, nippy reptiles. :) He seems pretty tough, though, since he slid down a vine earlier all the way to the floor...

    New Cham is here!!

    He is from Chad and Darci at TikiTiki! They are the BEST and will be getting a huge 5 star review from me this afternoon. :D I am in knots right now, I'm so nervous about him... but I guess that's normal.

    New cage issues

    Ok, the cham is here and in his nice new cage... but there are a few problems. First, here are the final pictures of the completed cage: Dimensions = 3'x2'x5'. One 24" ReptiGlo 10.0 across the top back, one 100wt bulb in lamp for bask spot, one 75wt bulb in lamp on side for...

    New Cham is here!!

    At last, the new chameleon has arrived! He got here about 30min ago and is now hiding at the very top back of his new cage. :) But I did get a picture of him on my hand before putting him inside: We really like him, and my BF has named him Morpheus. :D There are a few concerns with the...

    Chameleons in apartments?

    Ack! Taxi at the border = death wish. But more so, Pedestrian in Mexico = DEAD! Man, they actually AIM for people walking. And the water thing is quite true. All but the truly poor over there now use bottled water for cooking/drinking and tap is only for cleaning, but still ask (if possible)...

    Petsmart/Petland/Mom&Pop

    Ok...I know this thread is really old, but I must say this: You'd think management would be thrilled, but they actually get very angry and even discipline employees who "Do things not according to policy". Petsmart and Petco have ARCHAIC policies that are dreadful, but no one cares. When I...

    Homemade Veiled cage Complete!!

    :) Thanks, all. It took a long time to finally get that thing together and working, but I like how it turned out. It actually took so long, and so much frustration, that my BF/partner started saying 'maybe we shouldn't get a chameleon after all' :rolleyes: (The cham is mostly a pet for him...
