Tomorrow, and most of the week, boiling hot again! Piko will be happy anyway. I was a bit worried a couple of weeks ago, and bought her a small dome light, but i can only have that on when I'm home. So, today she was thrilled as it was on all morning, to make up for being cold while I was at...

Thanks for all the replies. It's normally around 80 to 85 this time of year, and she's quite happy outside. I was just thinking ahead for when it gets cooler, around January, and experimenting with a basking light. It's going to be hot again by the weekend, and dry, so the MistKing is more...

Bought my jackson's a basking light today, as it's been a bit cool, and not much sun. This is only going to be used when I'm home, and sporadically, as the light is instead of the MistKing this afternoon! Only one outlet you see. Anyway, I've placed the lamp, a ZooMed deep dome with a 75W bulb...

I think every part of them is adorable! How come yours is cold? Mine lives outside, and has already gone to bed, LOL! How did you manage to post the video? I joined vimeo, and they wanted $, so I tried youtube, but it didn't work. Whay is this crap so tedious? I want to post stuff, but don't...

Bought a new paper shredder last week. It had this great cardboardy packing material, full of turrets, boxy shapes. Do you think I could chop it up and use it for dubia housing? I've aired it out, so the plasticy smell has gone. It just seems too good to put in the recycle bin!

What a cute little baby! They're so funny when they're pissed off, aren't they?

I try to place them on the roof or wall of her mesh cage. It amuses me to watch her watch them,and then go all 'stalker'! They can move quite fast when they want to. The Phoenix worms don't really interest her however,,as they aren't very active,,so they usually just die in the bowl. I'm not...

So, I ordered some dubis for Piko, as she likes them so much and nobody sells them around here. I did buy some at the last reptile show, but they're too big, and she almost choked on the last one she found wandering around! I want to start my own colony, so I ordered 2 adult males, and bunch of...

I'm so sorry. Wasn't there anything that could be done? We're all thinking of you during this difficult time. :(

Very sweet! I love the pics of him struggling through the fuzzy undergrowth! Where is your home in SoCal? Must be warm, as the grass has that summer look! Thanks for showing us some pics. Chris

Piko is much better thanks. I changed the spelling because it was supposed to be Hawaiian for bellybutton! Her foot is back to normal, and she's been through a shedding, her first since I've had her. It was a little alarming! I had a friend over the day before, and noticed that she was dark in...

Looks good! I've started one as well,,but not as big, as I only have one cham to feed. I keep it outside under the cage, with the non vented end in a black plastic bag to keep the temps high, and keep any water spillage from going in the box. Fingers crossed!

Now that you have an adult male, you can probably breed your own! I just ordered a couple of adult males, and some little nymphs because I want to breed my own too. The nymphs I had, which I bought at the last reptile show are much too big, and I've had to 'rescue' them out of my cham's mouth...

Thanks everyone. It's pretty humid here at the moment, so I've kept the misting sessions short but frequent to help with the high temps more than anything. I'm going to watch this morning, just to see how it's working out, then readjust if the cage seems to be staying'soggy'. Piko seems quite...

Sorry, forgot to mention that my cham is a Jackson's,,and she lives outside, hence the concern about the temperature. That's why I have the mister going so often. There's also plenty of shade! I also have a dripper going and her urates are jice and white. Temperatures coming down on Sunday...

Recently installed a MistKing, but had to set timer and then work for two days of 12 hour shifts,,so I don't know if I even set it right! But, it's been so bloody hot here I had to try. So, I set it for 2 or 3 minutes every 2 hours starting at 7 and ending at 5 p.m. Piko goes to bed at precisely...

I love the shedding one, he looks so fed up,,and the one near the end, with his leg up on a leaf. He looks like he's going to wee on it! So cute! How are you keeping them cool? Pascal looks like a real character too, good shot!

Thanks ataraxia. That's a weight off my mind. I just got home, it's still very hot, and she was in some leaves gaping a bit. But her colour was much better than when she spent the afternoon in the bathroom. So, I gave her a good misting, put the schefflera back (couldn't carry the cage with that...

We're having a nasty heatwave here in Socal. It was over 90 yesterday, so I brought Pico and her cage inside and put it in the bathtub. It was cooler, but she was not happy, didn't eat, and just hung out in her vine. Today, it's going to be a tad cooler, 88 apparently. Should I bring her in...

Trying to set up a MistKing, and it's not as easy as everyone says. Anyway, I've done the bucket part, and bought an indoor/outdoor extension.,yes, it's going to be outside, but there probably won't be any rain until January! Now, I'm supposed to drill a hole somewhere on the cage I think...
