There are very few bugs/spiders chams cant eat in America. Brown recluse, black widow can be eaten if they dont get bit. About the only popular no no bugs they cant eat is tobacco worms and lightning bugs.
The only way i know how is to use dielectric grease/paste on the metal contacts in high humidity environments. Id say the top of the cham cage is pretty moist.
But it pretty much goes like this:
Moisture is going to condensate on the coldest thing. Copper contacts are going to get colder...
Here is the issue. UVB LEDS are extremely narrow in the nanometer wavelength output. The UVA/B that grows coral the best is not the same UVB that cures epoxy, and not the same that grows bones, and not the same that tans skin. As others stated, the repitsun and arcadia's have been on the...
discords... I cant, i just cant right now... is it just a chat room full of roaches swapping gut load recipes?
But as for silkies. Find a local mulberry bush/tree. Buy the silk worm eggs. Make sure the eggs are the non fancy kind, they have the highest survival rate. Good ole black and...
Im not saying your hood unparticular. But ive changed dozens and dozens of balasts. Plenty do not run right if there is not the correct amount of "good" bulbs in them. If one bulb fails, half the time the other(s) will fail to start or run pink or something. Plenty of ballasts are rate for...
socket Arc fault from not having a bulb in the socket. Nothing would have prevented it other than having a bulb in the socket, even if it was a dead bulb.
Unless your fixture/ballast says you can run less than the amount of sockets, dont. You basically have two bare wires very close together...
Me and fish bro have been running these for close to 2 decades. You need to have "something" in all your sockets. If you have nothing, well its using a 600-1000v charge to start the bulb up, and it can arc. So your dead sockets are charged and read to light a bulb, but there is no bulb. You...
Looks like handling and identification has been covered.
I would add if it is a she, change your feeding habits. Once they get to 5-6 six months old i would switch to "as many as wanted in a session, 2-3 times a week". If you do it every three days thats an easy 2 week cadence of 5 feedings...
As for tallness. All of mine were like fish, unlimited height, they all stayed within a 2ft area. They could care less about going to the top or the bottom. So you will have to get creative to encourage the cham to use the whole cage.
As for depth. I do not have much more than 2ft arms, so...
"for this to work the nostril has to be blocked" Yup thats how my buddies do it, with air to get something out of their eye some times.
And yes most of mine never sat under the mister and took it. They hid and then came out "after the rain" to get a drink.
Uh, you want it low in the day and high at night.
A simple small fan that ran for like an 30-60min in the morning would help dry it out. But if its humid all day long it will never dry out and you can expect some mold growth. Ideally you would want it completely dry several times a day.
Now...
Dark box with holes in it for air
a secure stick, or single multi branch stick shoved it so it doesnt move
Keep box above 8c
As others stated, i would be very leery adding a heat source.
Hell if it was me id just zip her up in my fluffy coat if i wasnt the driver since its only 10-15...
No, a "13 watt" bulb is not going to put out any heat. Just like a 6 watt led is not going to put out any heat.
You are going to need an old "incandescent" or halogen. I prefer halogen wide flood in the 35-75 watt range. Halogens are alot more efficient than incandescent and they last far...
