The foliage should take up 50-75% of the cage, so looks good. Crickets look dusted well enough, they don't have to be completely covered white, a good light dusting is perfect. We have several Panthers that do the exact same thing, it's quite comical to see them hold the cricket in there mouth...
More foliage would make him more comfortable for sure. I don't worry about night time temps until they drop below 58-60 degrees, so I wouldn't recommend the night light right now. I know some have a different opinion on this, but meal worms are a little harder to digest, I wouldn't suggest them...
Bought some Pothos yesterday at Home Depot, the tag was labeled just Pothos, but on the pot it was labeled as Pothos Golden on a white sticker, as searched the entire selection and it was all they had. I'm in Fort Worth, so I'm not sure from region to region if it changes or not.
I'm in Fort Worth, we have received 5 chameleons this week, as long as you have a guaranteed delivery before 10:30 you should be fine, we are currently having high 70's mornings and it's not getting into the high 80's until around noon. You can also have your shipper deliver to the FedEx...
Good to know! I handle them like they are fine china. The very first clutch we ever had was a clutch of Veiled Cham eggs, I washed them and everyone I talked to freaked out, so ever since the eggs have gone straight to the incubation container.
Assuming she has actually breed or has retained sperm, you should really avoid moving them as much as possible, washing them was a No No, you can suffocate them. Not sure of the validity of this, but my understanding is that even the oils on your fingers can suffocate them as well, prob just...
I agree with jannb, check out the video and get a lay bin asap, it not uncommon for the females to slow their eating or stop eating just before they lay eggs. And be prepared to give her the nutrients she will need after she lays, it's pretty taxing on them. And don't interrupt her or watch her...
It's been a pretty mellow summer this year only in the upper 90's durning the day. We are still using basking lights and we use regular house light bulbs for our basking lights ranging from 40-75 watts. We adjust the distance of the lights from the enclosures along with the wattage to maintain...
It's good that you had success with it, we just never used it because the feedback we had on it from friends was negative. Using a separate thermometer or multiple thermometers with any incubator is always a smart move.
Is he in a fully screened enclosure? If so you can run a fan facing away from the enclosure to draw air through the cage, and this helps create air circulation in the room. I live in Texas so we know hot, something else that has worked for us is to add a ton of foliage at the bottom of the...
A buddy of mine lost several clutches of python eggs using the ExoTerra incubator, and I have heard from others of the unit malfunctioning. sometimes the simple setup is much better than the fancy features, less things to go wrong.
