    Veiled unable to grip; sharing info

    Thanks, actually I have a vet and am recieving care. I just wanted to share what the blood work indicated and the medical protocol so far, as I have seen others with similar issues on the forum, but never saw the thread followed up. (There is no substrate. 4'x2' reptrebreeze, UVB, basking...

    Veiled unable to grip; sharing info

    I have seen a few threads on this but without updates, so I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it can help others. 2 + year old rescued veiled male started falling from his perches onto the floor of his habitat, ultimately unable to grip at all and remaining on the floor. I moved...

    I am so sorry for your loss. That is pretty horrible.

    Reptipro 6000 STAY AWAY

    I have used many different incubators for hatching chicken eggs (which I realize is quite different, but the problems/issues remain the same - stable temp, humidity, etc). I have tried hovabators, still-air vs not, Little Giants, you name it. I have found the best incubators by far are...

    Earthworms?

    I am no expert, but I do not offer earthworms, even for my chickens. I fear the parasites that the worms carry would then introduce the parasites to my chickens. That is the same reason I don't offer them to my chameleons. Hope that helps.

    Chameleons as food?

    I lived in Kenya for a few years...found a little chameleon in the bushes and brought him into the classroom on my finger - cleared out the classroom. CLEARED OUT. Very interesting lore around all things lizard in that area.

    Great Lakes Hornworms.

    I order frequently from them. They are fantastic.

    Visual Barriers

    When my veiled was giving my panther the stink eye (from clear across the room - honestly, I didn't realize that even with 10' between cages there would be an issue) I used strategically placed white paper. I didn't need to cover the entire side of the cage, just the resting areas most commonly...

    Monsoon RS 400 questions

    I have the Monsoon, UVB light and Grow Lite plugged into a power strip plugged that is plugged into a timer; I have the basking ceramic bulb plugged directly into the wall so that it is on 24/7. That has worked well. Beware, my first Monsoon did mis-fire and ran non-stop until it emptied...

    R. temporalis cage

    for my pygs I also have a small boston fern and button fern (in pots, with substrate built up to near pot lip) - they provide great foliage close to the ground as well. I have 6 pygs in a 40 gal long tank and I rarely can find more than one at once :)

    Wattage of heat bulb

    I use a 40 w ceramic heating bulb (on 24/7) and during the day add a 60 household bulb - since adding the light (in addition to the UVB 5.0) both my veiled and panthers seem much happier - good color, activity, etc.

    Showers....er...

    My panther really enjoys warm water mistings from a bottle. In addition to the automated misting system I have set up, every evening I fill the hand mister and give him a long shower. Now, he sees me coming with the bottle and "assumes the position". It is pretty funny.

    silkworm breeding

    I considered breeding silkworms, and frankly, after trying my hand at hatching eggs and raising them I realized that for my needs it is easier to buy the adult worms. The feed IS expensive, and I found for the limited number worms I could actually grow to a reasonable size it wasn't worth it...

    silk worms

    Had great luck with silkwormshop - got LARGE silkworms from them. All arrived alive and healthy - and are still going strong.

    Misting times?

    I could be wrong but I think they the trays for the smaller size cages as well. Be sure to scroll down and check sizes - they are broken out by size and color, which is confusing at first glance.

    Misting times?

    @tartammy - I bought a tray from LLLReptile that fits below the cage and catches water. I have never had to lift the cage to empty it - it evaporates within reasonable time. It even held up when I had my Monsoon misfire and run until the reservoir was empty.
