Chuck Norris finally made it!!

[Lpsouth1978]

Almost there!! the new little guy arrives tomorrow. I thought I was going to have to use a fake ficus tree for a little bit because my branches took A LOT longer than expected to get here,. They finally came today, and I have got them in the cage. What do you all think? Enough branches? What about vines? I have 6 more large vines and 3 small. I can always add more in there if you think they are needed. I also have 2 more small branches I can add if needed.

I am going to get the pants this evening and then everything will be ready for his arrival. as you can see, I will be using the pot in pot method and have mounted 5 pots. I feel like this should give ample coverage, especially once they grow in a bit.

Looks good! Once you get your plants in there it’ll fill up the space and depending on the types of plants you have, will provide more climbing opportunities.

It is official!! I will have another soon. Wednesday to be exact. The cage will be setup this weekend and everything ready for the new guy. I have attached some pics below. Some of you may recognize him from another thread on the forums. He looks to be a sassy little dude.

Ooooo from who?!?

Thanks! Honestly the plant selection will depend entirely on what they have in stock. I know there will be some Pothos, and hopefully a money tree.

I am getting him from a member on here, @Randers88. He was one of 3 holdbacks, and the only one they decided to part with.

It is so beautiful

 

[Lpsouth1978]

I got all of the plants in there, but I kind of feel like it needs more. What do you all think?

 

[MissSkittles]

Give it time. As your plants grow, they’ll fill in all of those empty spaces...especially your pothos. I think it looks great just as it is.

 

[Beman]

I agree... They will grow in. It is full though with hiding spots.

Things are going great with Chuck!! He finally trusts me enough, to willingly, even excitedly, climb onto my hand when I put it near him. So, naturally, I took him outside for some sun today. When opening his cage to put him back in, he caught a glimpse of Bruce and started head bobbing and fired up a bit. He is so chill that I have never seen him fired up until today. Now he is just climbing all over his enclosure making sure there isn't an intruder.

New pic of chuck. Not much change, just chuggin' along. He seems to really trust me finally.
He actually came out of his cage onto my arm twice this last weekend. I simply placed my hand in his enclosure near him and after a minute or 2 he just stepped right on and went outside sore some good sun time.

 

[Lpsouth1978]

Wow, time really flies!! I can't believe it has been 4 months since my last update. I suppose that is due in part to there being nothing significant to report. Chuck is doing GREAT!!. He is a pig and eats everything within minutes of adding it to the feeder run. He is by FAR the friendliest cham I have seen. If someone simply enters the room where he can see them, he comes to the front of the cage. If you open the door, he immediately climbs onto your hand. I don't think he is unhappy with his enclosure, so I think he just wants the interaction.

 

[Lpsouth1978]

I got a couple more shots of Chuck this evening. He is just SOOOO easy to get pics of since he LOVES coming out. He did fire up just a little bit hen he caught a glimpse of my other guy Bruce.

PS - Before you all mention it, I know Chuck looks a little over weight. We are currently working on the issue. I expect him to be back down to a healthier weight in no time.

He looks great. Love his colors. Weight does not look too crazy just a little more plump in the casque than recommended.
