Setting up a ground barrier in this case is pretty impossible... his free range was all hanging from the ceiling/on top of my bookshelves. As the plants started growing, and hanging lower, I think he found a way to reach the the window sill, and then somehow got down from there. He was getting...
I just hope he wasn't suffering too long...
As much as he hated my guts, I sure loved that little guy. I've been bawlin' for hours, and my eyes burn like hell.
For anyone who free ranges, expect that your cham can get ANYWHERE... this is the last thing I would have expected. I know this makes...
As if my midterms and insomnia haven't been stressful enough this week, tonight I was called home to find Ling-Ling in a pool of blood, limbs dangling, unable to walk at all. He had somehow found a way down from his free range and walked across the rat's cage... the rat got him through the bars...
I got a brand new 18x18x18 exo terra tank for $60 at work today. I'm pretty excited to set up a viv and get some pygmies in there. I've never kept pygs before, and I'm doing a lot of reading on them, but I was wondering what species (besides brevs) are most common. I probably will end up doing...
No problems moving or climbing, his behavior has not changed in any way.
No brocoli or spinach... mostly carrot, orange, escarole, grains, apple, grapes. Any thing that could bind calcium?
His free range is safe, and the only possibility of a burn was when he climbed onto my panthers...
He can't get burned by his own basking lamp - I've checked that, and I've run my hands over the entire fixture to make sure there was no place he could climb onto the dome and burn himself. My sister has told me though that she's seen him crawl underneath the linear fixture on my panther's...

Me and my poor chams are currently stuck in Indiana as well :rolleyes:
I'm in Crown Point; if you don't know where that is, I'm sure you know where Gary is. We're just south.
You can get Little Drippers for $6 online, if you like to have the valve and don't want to make one yourself. Petsmart is extremely overpriced on basically all there products, especially reptile. Their prices are the highest I've seen for most items.
Hahaha. If you don't want opinions then you shouldn't be on a forum! That's what it's for.... if you want product specifics then do as jojojackson said and talk to the manufacturer. They'll tell you all kinds of things you're wanting to hear!
I know these kinds of threads piss people off, and...
I put a small plastic tub under my dripper. It drips onto a plastic plant rather than a real one, because I had the same problem with drowning plants.... and I soaked the shelves under my free range as well.
You're probably noticing thick tails on male panthers. Veileds, male or female, usually won't have as thick a tail as a male panther, regardless of age. I looked at the pics in your gallery, and he looks fine. Make sure you're gutloading your crickets well, with fruits and veggies.
I haven't figured it out quite yet... I know he loves the shower, and he's always blue in there. Today was the first time he's been blue like that outside the shower, I'm not sure what triggered it.
Haha, that's what I thought! I've doubted he was really a sambava for a while now, but several members here on the forum have said he's just going through color phases, and that he really is a sambava. I don't know... the blues are not normal for him, only when he's in the shower, or showing off...
On my free range I use the MV on one side for basking and UVB and a strip light with a reptisun 5.0 on the other side for UVB without the heat. The strip light was $8 at walmart. If all you're using for UVB is the powersun, then he's only receiving UVB during the time he's basking, which usually...
