Well, I'm no expert... hopefully those that are will help and w/o being condesending to you... good luck.

Good thoughts, and thanks for the pics

Thanks. Hopefully others will post up pics of thiers too... as they say, a pic is worth 1000 words.

Would it be possible to post pics of each of your set-ups? It would make it easier to make one... Thx

I would like to let my guys out of their indoor cages for some daytime sun and not have to check on them every few minutes... I remember seeing some at the rept show with a pot on the bottom, pot on the top, essentially open in the middle (no screening) that you hang from a beam or tree branch...

Thank you both. From DW's thread on this: When he refers to antibiotics for an eye infection, which antibiotics are most commonly used? And are they only available from a vet or ?

I've read in threads here of using saline solution for dry eye or eye-related problems. What brands / solutions are not harmful to chams?

If the info can be made available w/o having to PM others it would be appreciated. Thx.

Are you using this bulb, or familiar with it please?

Thanks for your thoughts guys. It's interesting to see the responses from various locations in the western hemisphere, and differing opinions on the subject. Wouldn't it be great if there was a inexpensive controller that timed the lamps like the sun cycle, dimming brighter to the middle...

I've currently got 3 panthers (2 males) and a male vieled, and likely adding a female veiled this week. I have been running the lights on timers, on from about 7:30 am to 8:30 pm. I was thinking about running the UVB's as above, then seperately timing the basking lights from 8:30 - 6:30...

Are any of you using this bulb? As I understand it, the Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 seems to be the preferred bulb for chams, but I bought a T8 fixture that included this T8-25 Zilla bulb. Is this bulb just as good as a Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0?

The spongerock is not styrofoam, but is known as "Perlite" and is used in potting soil mixes due to it's ability to hold air and water for plants roots and growth. But the stuff is made from volcanic rock, so that can't be good for his digestion. As to his food supply, he's regularly fed...

I have spotted my male panther of 8 months occaisionally eating things other than bugs. The other day it looked as though he was eating a crap on the bottom of his cage, but as far as I know it could have been a dead bug or something else. This morning I saw him eat some spongerock from...

Somehow you've misread what I stated... I did say that they will be seperated, which in fact has been done. I appreciate everyone's help! Thanks again.

Of course I value the opinions of pros, and am myself a successful business owner. My shorts are not in a wad over any of the above, believe me. But other posters of less skin and experience would likely be much more offended than I... Once again, thanks!

Thank you for that useful info. But that last part is neither necessary nor helpful. I've noticed that their seems to be an attitude in a number of posts here and in other threads on this board of some being above all others, or better, while putting those that are new and don't have it all...

OK Will do... I will address changes to the MinerAll and Vitamins. Can you recommend a link to a guide on how to address minerals and vitamins please? The 10.0 came from the past from when I had bought another panther, but that one got away when I had left him alone outside too long on a...

OK, so now he's hanging out on top of the cage and he's got both eyes wide open and looking normal... I think he's just messin' w/ me ;) This afternoon was the first time I've seen him with the left eye closed but now they're open, so I don't know if this is an ongoing problem or just a...

Maybe half way of normal. I was just looking real close and noticed he's not opening his left eye... Sticky Tongue Farms MinerAll, but no multi vitamins. Should I be, and if so, which is recommended? These are still young siblings but I will seperate soon. I have other cages at the...
