Yeah that's why I picked up a UVB T5 HO and a LED fixture. I was just worried about the bright light from the LED's hurting my chams eyes. And to junglefries I would love to keep my little dude outside, but jacksons can't stand hot Houston heat. I only take him out in fall and spring time.

Hey guys I just recently found this new fixture made by zoomed. Has anyone used something similar to this setup? What are y'alls thoughts on this? For some reason I couldn't find this product for sale so i decided to make my own version of this lol. I bought a three LED strip fixture that is...

The reason I was thinking the reptisafe was because I had read on here before that distilled water had no electrolytes. Do our chams need electrolytes from water or are the regular supplements ok? I regularly use reptical for calcium and on occasion use herptivite. Gutload consists of apples...

Since the tap water that i use to mist his enclosure obviously gets on his live plant and causes mineral build up on the leaves. I was considering using distilled water to solve this issue. I am able to clean the leaves, but i find it to be very tedious and i also can break the leaves. Once...

Any updates on the condition of the cham? I've been having a issue with my Jackson as well. I had a culture done and am waiting for results this week. It has been very difficult to get rid of the abcess. FYI at one point i stopped using my cool mist humidifier and some time later is when...

He's been in great health (except for a abcess that he had on his mouth). Its just something that i guess struck me as weird since i always hear that most chams are not too social :confused: He eats and drinks and is very strong lol. I also have a beardy and he on the other hand hates to be...

My jackson is always wanting to come out of his cage, and I can't help to think that he wants something or needs something lol :/. He has everything he needs: humidity, foliage, climbing, branches, etc. Is this species of cham just a very curious species that likes to explore? I've had him...

Not sure what species of cham babyjoe has, but does this apply to every cham species? Warm showers I'd say are most beneficial during the shedding period

Oh ok then. I was worried of having so many lights and making it too hot.

Would having so many lights not overheat a Jackson? I mean as far as having a separate light for the plants. Or are y'all substituting the 6500k bulb for the uva bulb?

I've tried pets a plenty in the past and got dubia roaches from them. I'll have to see if they started carrying silks and horn worms. Thanks guys for the info!

Do they have pretty good service overall? I mean as no dead ones on arrival or wrong size ones.

What's a good place to buy worms from in or near Houston Tx?

I also have dubias in a plastic container and was thinking of using a heating pad, but on the heating pad box it says not to use on plastic. There is risk of fire. Any thoughts on this? Instead I just use a red heat light at night when temps get low.

Just an update: I'm taking him to the vet for a checkup today. As far as what I did to treat his infection, I gave him his antibiotics for two days consecutively after seeing the vet. After seeing how he got (dark in color, not eating) I took him off his meds. I cleaned his injury for about...

Well I try to feed him every other day. Its been a while since I gave him waxworms and it wasn't more than 6 through a seven month period. Good thing you meantioned th cutting back on food I was considering this but wasn't sure that it was safe to go a week without food. Question: I've...

I went to the vet yesterday and she said other than what he came in for he was looking good. I use fresh fruit (apples, grapes, romaine lettuce) and cricket crack for dry gutload. He seems fine he was eating today and drinking doing his usual thing. Does he really look that swolen? I...

Just got back from the vet and she told me that it looks like a puncture that got infected. The corner of the mouth was red and irritated which lead her to think that it was a injury to the mouth. They were able to remove it and got out two pellets of discharge. They set me up with some...

Here's a picture i couldn't get the best one but you can see something in the corner of his mouth

I'm gonna give the vet a call tomorrow and see if a can get a appt. I'll let y'all know the results.
