Do you only use temp gun to measure? The Govee monitors are very accurate and can give alerts if outside your parameters. It should help keep track of conditions at night and then the fans may not be needed. as they can be blowing your fog out and drying things too much...
I think there must be something "like" vision operating for a couple of reasons. Plants always turn toward the sun. (although this could be heat receptors??) My sunflowers face in exact opposite directions in the morning and the evening.
Also, vines make a beeline towards a tree or a wall. I...
Can you get her to cup feed? I prefer that because
1-no escapees in the cage
2 you directly monitor how much is eaten
3-You can control supplements better versus crickets that have time to preen them off in a feeder cup
4- It helps acclimate your cham to you and see you as a positive thing
With my boehmii I used a smaller sized Sansi plant light beside his UVB, the Sansi put out enough heat to be about 10 degrees above the rest of the cage and he used it occasionally.
F10 is recommending on-label for fogging for issues such as respiratory fungal and bacterial disease at least in birds-although I don't think I would do it. But I agree with you, I don't see any way it would be indicted for thermal burns. Unless the vet saw or suspected an RI as well.
There is a gift and curse to having an older pet. We know what is eventually inevitable is creeping closer..but them being older means we have been gifted with time and so many more wonderful moments. To know that he is secure and comfortable and lacking for nothing should also bring you...
Well we need to talk! Specifically some swaps. I have, well, everything. I can't bear to throw them away so I have hundreds of baby VFT, and I think about 100 different types? About the same number on butterworts. These pics are just what's currently outside. All are running about 6 months...
Would not think so, have not seen that.
I suppose IF they were eating a ton of them they would be getting additional fluid (versus eating crickets for example) so they might look "plumper" that you are used to?
For those with beardies, if you would like to contribute to a research project being done by a group of reptile vets researching nutritional, the information is below:
Subject: [ExoticDVM] Bearded dragon nutritional survey
Dear Colleagues,
We have an industry-funded nutrition project to...
LOL well the girls get theirs, too it just takes a little longer :)
After all, the alternative is that they just starve to death and die which I really hate to see. If and when that happens (for example chams are too stuffed...) the dead make their way into one of several hundred hungry pitcher...
I use the wax paper, too. I use paintbrush to put the newly hatched on a piece of wax paper in a petri dish with food. The top on the petri dish keeps them and the food from drying out too fast. I keep them in there until they are white or as long as I can.
Also I used to use the gutter screen...
