You dont have to be sorry. So is the lamp positioned at the top and the cham is hanging under it on the screen? If so, you are risking a fall and/or a loss of some nails. Try and up the wattage of the bulb a bit and maybe get temps closer to 98-100F. Depending on the ambient temps, a 65w...

Cute pic Jamie ... you need to submit that to cuteoverload.com ... errr ... not like I visit that site at all :rolleyes: -roo

It very well could be confusing the cham … thinking its foliage that it can navigate through. My veileds cage has green mesh (PVC coated hardware cloth), but I never noticed that type of reaction. I wouldn’t give up on the green mesh completely … it may learn that it can’t get through it given...

:confused: Which is it? You either need to adjust the distance of the heat bulb or get a higher wattage bulb. A 4 month old veiled should probably start off with 90-95F and I am guessing would settle for 95F in the end … just a guess. Pay attention to how long (or little) he/she basks. If it...

This is most likely due to the basking temp being too low. It’s basically trying to get as close as possible to the heat source (which is the screen) because the basking perch is too far and/or the wattage of the basking bulb is too low. What temp is the basking area? You should use a digital...

Well I learned something new … I had to do a double take on that pic. It looked like a cham sitting on a rock … BFD … then I realized it was under water. -roo

The humidifier(usually ultrasonic)/PVC setup creates a fog while the other creates water to simulate rain -roo

Ants use a scent trail to direct the other where to go. I would try wiping the areas around where they are coming in with bleach or look on the internet for something else that can remove the scent. This should help keep them away from the cage but not necessarily keep them from getting into the...

Yep, hot glue gun ... one should be issued to every cham owner. It has a million uses with this hobby and I use mine all the time. -roo

Uhhh ... yeah. Why would I put together baby enclosures and not put babies in them? -roo

Looking for Mr. Goodbar Here are some links. Try and find some captive bred ones if you can, you will have less problems, longer life spans – just a better time overall. I have been keeping them for almost 3 years and haven’t kept a WC much more then a year however my captive bred group is...

Cha-Ching $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Very feasible, you could even chart everything out and maybe slap together a dbase that correlates this data to events such as breeding, death, eating habits, reproduction, I could go on and on – do some very interesting analysis. Something I will look into when I win...

I think the common theme with all these setups is the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Silly). This is how I keep my pygmy babies which aren’t much different. Critter container, glued in screen top, river stones/plastic plants (not silk) for water droplets so they can get a drink, sticks from...

I ended up with this. Actually found it $100 cheaper at the site listed. It has a remote sensor and handles one device/humidifier which is all I need. Anything digital seems difficult to get a hold of, expensive, and a bit more then I need...

Haha! I had similar tendencies too when I was younger however I could always outrun/out-fox “The Man” every time. -roo

Lay out some details like species, age, environment, etc. -roo

Hey thanks! I like yours and would prefer one with an external probe. I will poke around the net to see if I can find this one or something similar. -roo

I have no clue ... the book doesnt go into detail - somewhere on the net I saw a nutritional break down of feeders, I will look for it. When I have them I feed them out fast so my veiled gets a couple every other day. He really likes them and I really dont worry about him being over weight. He...

Errr ... make that 21. :(

Good to know … a bit of “ammo” … I probably have had 20 or so people in the forums think I was a woman. At first I though it was funny but after the first bakers dozen it put the zap on me a bit. -roo
