Anyone in Md, or Va able to look after my panther chameleon? In a few months im heading to North Carolina for a week and would like someone to take care of him. If so let me know at [email protected],or on the forums. Thank you!

Where in Maryland/Virginia are you located. I live outside of Hagerstown. Let me know a date.

 

[bucky]

Do you have available space? I live in laurel/savage. I am leaving i think sometime around the week of august 11th.

 

[Cainschams]

Yeah I have plenty of space. I live in a 3 bedroom house by myself. Although that would suck to have to drive up then back down but if you dont find anyone closer I should be around. You plan on bringing his setup? I will put him in a different room just so there is no contact between our chams to be on the safe side. I have some extra caging but my first clutch is hatching so I dont know if I will have an extra one then. Anyway let me know.

Ok,is it ok if i drop him off the 8th, then pick him up on the 17th? Ya, i can bring his enclosure too.

 

[Cainschams]

Yea that is fine. Just send me a PM a few days before and I will give you my address and telephone number. I dont have any plans around then and wont make any so I will for sure be able to watch him. Bringing his enclosure will make it easier on me. Also if you can bring his lights and mister. I dont use drippers here I mist at least 3 times a day but if he is acustom to a dripper bring it.

 

[bucky]

Will do, do you want me to bring his plant too? Ill bring his lights,mister etc, should i change the bulb in the basking lamp? I dont know the temps in your house,i use a 40 watt now.

 

[Cainschams]

Yeah I would bring the plant to ifyou can. The bulb should be fine. I keep my house at 78. I know its a little warm but it kept myeggs where they needed to be with out using an incubator. I can always adjust how far the fixture is from the cage also. It shouldnt take much playing with after you get him here. My new 4 month old uses a 40 watt so it should be about the same distance from the basking branch. Im kinda excited hahaha he looks like a great looking cham. I also take mine out into the sun as long as weather permits and if its perfect conditions I let them sleep out there too. Does he ever get any natural sun?

 

[bucky]

Yup,hes very content outside I havent been able to get him outside yet lately, but i just mist him and sit outside with him lol. The temp is ok,i understand how you gotta keep your eggs livin Ya,im sure he'll have a great time after the first few days, now with your cages do you have a drainage system installed for them?

 

[Cainschams]

NOT YET! 30 seconds or so of misting is enough to get my guys to drink. I just mist down the plants pretty good. I use towels under the cages. Its not the most elaborate system but it works for the ones I got. Also manually doing it is a good time to give a good over look to them. I do give them long showers outside too every time they go out. I will be setting up for an automated system. Hell it might be installed by August We will see.

Cool,i was just wondering,cause im using newspaper at the bottom of his cage now, was just wondering if i should bring some.
