I would get rid of the reptile grass completely and use the PVC bottom that came with the cage. Stuff like reptile grass holds moisture too well which can cause bacteria and other health problems for your cham. And its hard to get totally clean. You should figure out some kinda drainage system...
Day 5 rubs eye
Well we survived the first night of the cold snap. The outside temp was at 51. Surprisingly it stayed around 60 inside my living room. Any way i woke up and turned the light on and let it warm up a lil in her hab. I set up a drip but forgot to try warmer water but she did go and...
Auto mist
Can anyone reccomend an auto misting system that will either fit in or be compatible with the reptibreeze small 18x18x20 NT-10 cage? I think i have a lil while before i have to upgrade cage size but i think some kinda auto misting system would help so i dont have to use a spray bottle...
Day 4
Ok i think i know whats going on with her drinking. Ive noticed when i mist her and after moistening her eyes ( which is freaky to watch ) i can see her opening her mouth and swallowing. So i think shes drinking the water that runs off her body or head. So i think i need to make some kind...
Is there an insect do not feed list? I get a few different kinds of moths and other flyers trapped in my room some nights so i tend to catch them and use them as feeders. And once my cat figures out whats up she'll bring me all kinds of stuff. When i had my beardie we rarely had to buy crickets...
Imho the kid who had them is the main perp. The story about finding them in path is BS. Everybody that comes through there knows whats in that greenhouse. So he knew they were yours and instead of returning them or coming to you in any way he decided to sell them. And the fact he tried to sell...
Thank you soooooo much for correcting me!!!!! I want to do everything i can to keep her healthy and happy. I solved the cold snap problem too. My landlord said i could bring her upstairs. They have central air so it will be warm enough.
Day 3 help cold snap coming!!!!
Well its day three and everythings still good. Except shes eaten today but i havent seen her drink. I'm misting about every other hour and i can tell she us moist but it worries me. Maybe shes drinking when i leVe the area. I know she doesnt like the misting...

I bought all three repcal supplements, calcium with D3, had to special order the calcium with out D3 and the multi. ( and of course im...
Day 2
Well its day two and im still a nervous wreck. But good news every one. I got up this morning and turned the lights on to warm her up and decided to make a drip bowl but the holes i made were to big and started making a huge mess so i removed it quickly. Then i got my mist bottle out amd...
What a long werk this has been. I ordered my cage last week on thursday and it got lost for a couple days but finally arrived tuesday with my UVB bulb. So i fixed it up with two pothos plants and a lattice of dowels tied together going every which way so theres plenty of move about space to...
I hate to say it but the cops don't take finger prints any more unless there was a death of some sort. It's sad and frustrating. I've been robbed a few times in the past, once a person literally removed the glass from my window and left fully visible prints on the glass but the cops flat out...
This is just sick and disgusts me to the core. Who ever perpetrated this crime was definitely someone who takes that path. They also must have been scoping you out for a couple weeks to get your schedule in order to strike with out getting caught. I say they because it took time to do what they...
I hoped that helped and I feel like I should add that moisture buildup can build Bacteria and mold which can make your chamy sick or give breathing problems. The cage needs to be humid but any standing water should be removed.
I don't know about your other questions I'm still a Newb but I can answer you that yes all the water ends up on the bottom of the cage so proper drainage preparation should be done.
My cage came with a White PVC bottom to which I drilled a couple hundred holes into with a 3/32 drill bit...
This story really touches me. I have rescued animals in the past that have had special needs and I know how hard it can be. You are a brave wonderful person to take such a case on and I appluad your dedication.
I also agree a thread needs to be started about chams with no tongues and...
How do you guys anchor your branches and what do you use to hang pothos plants with. I intend to use both real branches from the approved lists and dowels but am worried about them slipping and possibly hurting my Cham.
It's definitely a philo but I can find a pothos quite easily. I was just hoping to use what I have here but if there's any question as to the health of my pet I will not use it.
