could you give us the link to the site that says this light is good?

i have a "full spectrum" house light that works for growing plants as well as heat. would it be too far to say i could use it as a basking bulb as well?

Im sure you have been told/ warned this, but if your cham starts to go eatting any of those plants too much its recomended you take them out. especially the scheffelara because that is toxic to people and most other animals as well. hibiscus seems to be the safest ive found with little to no...

wonderful! the engineer in me is satiated :) thank you so much for the info :)

love the pic, but as for scientific i was questioning if the materials used in the bulbs differed, or due to the ballast/starter being so small in compact fluros they are made differently etc i think i read somewhere to produce the UVB in the fluro tube they have a small bead of mercury in...

maybe crank down the misting nozel so it sprays out a finer mist, and mist more often maybe, with a shorter time, ie 15 sec sprays evey 2 hours, or even 1 hour? i ordered a habba mist, is it really that bad? overnight its understandable for the humidity to drop since you aren't misting, also...

@ todnedo i see what you are saying, but if you think about it as the drop falls through the air it collects all sorts of stuff, filtering the air, and when it hits the leaves im sure it picks up more stuff... so its not like distilled distilled water, if you follow what i am saying... since...

doing my best to get one :) i wanted to have the cage set up and running a few days b4 i got him to give all the factors a tweaking (light placement, vines, plants, misting system) i built a cage using window frame screening material for about 60 bucks tools included with some foliage, and i...

ive heard this from a few places, from what i understood it was to prevent eye damage... since that seems to be a problem with the compact coil bulbs, putting two and two together would suggest only to use the coils for four hours a day to prevent eye damage... something i hear is not as much as...

im not actually cooking in the room, its just a little electric pot that will boil water. so i think i am safe :) i have read four or five different sites that recommend distilled or filtered, why do you warn against using distilled?

do you mind sharing what you recommend as a good temp gradient and level of humidity for baby-sub adult veiled chams i have a gradient from 102-75 F in an 18x18x20 cage and my humidity is around 55%

screamealons suggest if your cage is 18x18x20 and you have a habba mist, set it to 30 sec every 3 hours drippers and misters together offer the cham water whenever it wants, just one or the other would work fine, both together is fine as well. remember to use distilled or filtered water...

the plant section has a bunch of suggestions... the safest id recomend is a hibiscus, but they are harder to take care of, however your cham can chomp away and you dont have to worry. pothos is another common, along with the umbrella tree plant, but if your cham starts to chomping you need to...

there are plenty of posts about dehydrated chams like here https://www.chameleonforums.com/orange-poop-35832/ depending on how badly your cham is dehydrated there are many things you can do its important to mist your cham and the cage with distilled or filtered water twice a day, more if they...

do chams have a trachea? the passage that connects the lungs with the throat? or can they only breathe through their noses? just a concern i had about dripping water in their mouth if they can breath that way... dont want to drown them

im not looking for a fight or am i trying to be sarcastic at all, its a known issue that fodder for reps can turn around and annoy the pet, even kill them if not tended to. an example is rats have killed plenty of snakes so it is not out of the realm of imagination that crix can nip your...

do what they do in the military! ration! :P

along the lines of what they all suggested i have found sites that ship silkies eggs with cold packs so you can keep them in the fridge and just take out what you need and hatch them a few days before you need. one sight will also ship pre mixed food made out of mulbery trees so you can grow...

im not sure how big your cham is, but ive seen people feed theirs minnows and such from pet stores. other options could be fuzzies (baby mice) or even just feed greens (lettuce and such) if your veiled is interested...

These arent actually ladybugs from what i understand... the orange ones are actually Asian beetles and they are an introduced species i believe the story goes something like a farmer (probably in iowa or nebraska) bought these online thinking they were ladybugs to help maintain some pest level...
