    DIY Misting System ideas...

    I'm looking to make a misting system myself. Any ideas or advice would be very much appreciated. I've seen some videos of a submersible pump with tubing and misting nozzles and I've seen a large pump system that looks more like the Mister King setup. Has anyone made one of these and I'm curious...

    I have already called a vet and have an appointment for tomorrow in the morning. Initially, they said they didn't have anything until Monday but then called me back less than an hour later saying that they had a cancellation! Thank goodness! He went to the bottom of his enclosure this morning...

    Absolutely in love with my Rosco!

    It just still amazes me how they sleep. He's sleeping almost completely upright tonight. Yesterday marked 3 weeks of adopting him and bringing him after he had been surrendered by his original owner. We have some major work to do in the trust department but I was so excited today when I went to...

    Thank you!!!! I am over the moon about him. Lol. Crabby self and all. Hahahaha. I feel like some people might hear my story and feet like it was an impulsive decision to rescue him but I felt like it was meant to be! Everything happens for a reason. If he will ever trust me enough to let me...

    Yes MissSkittles. My gut feeling is just that. I wonder if the guy who had him before, just didn't know enough or have the time, patience and money to keep up with him and his needs. I most definitely want to do this right and for Rosco to have as well of a quality of life as possible. My...

    When you say, "You can recycle the repti zoo into a basking bulb holder.", I am assuming you mean the basking bulb into a dome fixture? And what is the difference between T5 and T8?

    Thank you! I am more than thrilled to be here with you guys. I have a feeling that the guy may have bit off more than he could chew and couldn't do it anymore since Rosco was surrendered as juvenile. I'm anxious to have a good "relationship" with him but I am more than willing to be patient with...

    Though I do not hand feed right now, I dust his food (crickets mostly) and place them in a cup to dump into his feeder run that I made. I always show him the crickets in the cup before I dump them and lately, he has really gotten defensive while I try to dump them in but he sits very close to...

    Ok! Great to know. So ditch the fogger completely? I do have a hibiscus plant that I bought specifically for him but I was hoping to have that as his outdoor plant. Seeing as we have a lot of trust building to work on (if any at all), I will just put it in his enclosure. If we ever work up to...

    That is exactly what I'm wanting as well. I do not know nearly as much as you guys here which is exactly why I joined. I want to make sure he is taken care of properly. I want him to have a good quality of life. ?

    Ok. I will tonight when I get home from my son's karate. If you don't mind me asking what seems to need to be changed? Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited to be a part of it. You all seem to be a great community!

    So, when I was younger in high school, I took care of a chameleon that was my science teacher's. The chameleon (named Chameleo) was very friendly and I truly enjoyed caring for him over long breaks in school. I've always wanted another one but just kind of brushed it off since I have kiddos now...
