Ok, this is one of the few forums I am on where I can rant and not get bashed. Hey and it has to do with Chams too.
So my wife and I just moved to a new apt. We have downsized at the new apt. It is ~150sq feet smaller. I love my Cham. His name is Doro Orana, or Burning Rain in English, but we just call him Jack Jack. I purchased him from the Kammers in January. He is beautiful, has his own personality, and yes I do take advantage of the fact that he is basically self contained and a piece of furniture. All I have to do is feed him every other day and make sure he has water in his 5 gal. bucket and get rid of the dirty water once a week.
Issue one. My landlord does not allow (water furniture) in his apartments.
My fix, plumb the lines to the back yard. But how. Can't make any holes.
Issue two, if I can solve issue one, then the second issue is space. And the fact that their will be gallons of water in the lines running to Jacks cage. No way to fix this as I have no space.
Constructive idea number one. How can I put Jack Jacks cage outside and make it weather proof.
As of now, his cage consists of a 2x2x4 DIY cage with a shower curtains around the back half to keep in the moisture. A 60watt light bulb for heat and light durring the day. Two 18" halagen 5.0 bulbs. A ceramic heater if the temperature drops below 60* at night.
I live in Montrose, Ca. Basically La Cresenta. We get a cool breeze most nights and summers are worm with a cold summer night not getting much below 60* unless their is a storm. But winter nights average 50* and as low as 30* sometimes. And storms bring even colder nights.
Any constructive thoughts? Or should I do what is good for him and re home him? I would have to meet the person and they would have to sign a contract with me that under no circumstances would they sell, give, donate or re home him. They would have to pay me a re homing fee. If they were unable to care for him they would have to give him back to me free of charge, also the same applies if they neglect him. I would also need updates on him and would have to check on him untill I were comfterable (spelling) with them.
