Has anyone used expandable bamboo or willow lattice in a cage? How did it hold up? Kim

I hope you get a laugh and ultimately someone can answer my question. Read on. :rolleyes: Last December (yes 7 mo. ago!) I purchased an orchid from a big home improvement store and put it in Elodin's cage. I've had great success with orchids in his viv. It just takes moving it around some...

I have a single stem umbrella tree that is getting waterlogged so I'm trying something new. I got a plastic collar cone from my vet and wrapped it closely around the stem. It fits over the edge of the pot so water runs off. Time will tell. I'll post an update in a in a couple of weeks.

Elodin, my panther has a 24x24x48" screen cage. Most of the upper half of the cage is filled wall to wall with a densely leafed Umbrella tree (braided trunk). There is open space wall to wall 10-12" from the top of the cage crisscrossed with branches and vines. He spends almost all of his...

I live in Wisconsin and just bought an Aquazamp raindome system. I'm looking for input from my :cool: cold winter neighbors. I realize the relative humidity of our individual homes is varied but I need a starting point. What is the frequency and duration of your mistings? Elodin's viv is...

Does anyone have any personal experience using Stephanotis plant in a panther viv? This plant is not on the flcams list (see link) which I know cannot be all inclusive. http://www.flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp#s It is listed on this website as 'safe'...

For safety of the chameleon, what is the max/min diameter of branches/dowels for an adult panther? And is bamboo to slippery to use? Kim

:eek:Cute overload! My hubby is going to ban me from the internet!! I am in love with these little guys! And their habitat marries by plant obsession perfectly. I'm in trou ...ble.

I have a 24x24x48" screen cage for my panther. I want to put up a strip light for UVB instead of a dome. -- Reptisun 5.0 or 10.0? -- Is 18" sufficient length? -- Can I also put a full spectrum (florescent) up for the plants? (I have a dome light for heat.) TIA, Kim

I'm in the process of purchasing live plants for Master Elodin's (panther) viv. (fka Deadleg) (Giving live plants another go.) I've searched the forums but not found any posts with specific information about the use of bromeliads. Has anyone used an unpotted bromeliad in a screen cage? How...

I looove this little man! The patio pic was a month ago. The mad, mad, mad shot was a few days ago. No idea what triggered it. The cats were asleep in the other room, I was at my computer working for about an hour. I glanced up and he was puffed up. Couldn't resist a pic. lol He is so...

Elodin (panther) "caught" a dried Star Jasmine leave. (Trachelospermum jasminoides) I was able to remove it ( v e r y gently), He only had the tiniest edge of it. I know the flowers are safe but what about the leaves? If it's not good for him what signs would I look for to indicate he was in...

Does it need to be out of direct misting? If it gets sprayed how long before the reading is accurate again?

How soon after lights on can I mist? Should Elodin be basking first or is it ok to mist while he's still on his sleeping branch or heading over to bask? (I tried searching for an answer first because I'm sure it's been asked before.)

Although I read, and read, and read some more, thread after thread and gleaned information important and obscure before I got my chameleon, I was not prepared for the difficulties of managing water in a small screened chameleon cage. It had the set-up one week prior to getting my chameleon and I...

:D Really you have to hear my squeal of delight! No? Ok, well then, I'll just say that at long last I have the pleasure of giving a forever home to ... well, uh, he is as yet unnamed. For having indulged my fancy I am giving naming rights to my wonderfully :cool: husband who is not home from...

I see that one supplier is out. Another offers only 'small' in both live ct. and pods. Is this a seasonal thing or normal supply and demand? I assume that if I ordered live silk worms I would order the special food. Hmmm, is there a tutorial on this? :confused: It's late and I'm going to...

Anyone order from a WI, MN, IA, IL company? Specifically super worms, phoenix worms, silkies, and butter worms. Kim

What volume container do you use? Should it drip all day? I'll be away from home (work) about 7 1/2 hours M-F (including drive time). Should it drip that entire time? I know how fast it should drip. Kim

I bookmarked several reptile food suppliers and I am embarassed to admit I didn't read carefully beforehand. :o I just assumed I would select size/quantity of crickets, hormworms, silks, etc. but now that I'm about to do so I find myself very confused. Silks and Horns - I've visited three...
