My new setups + new panthers

[PantherVeileD]

Got rid of the wooden table. Water was just going over it and I had to save the table before its too late.

Bought a plastic rack from home depot. Fits (2) cages 18x18x36. Bought a long bucket to catch the water. I will have to cup feed from now on because theres no floor yet. Maybe I'll get a screen and lay it down there.

Two new ambilobe females.

nice i like your setup

question do you have anything on the bottom or can crickets get through

 

[Chameleonboy]

im sorry i didnt see you said there is nothing you can take the bottom and cut a circle in it and hotglue some screen onto it so it can drain

I use the exact same racks. They are perfect. What I do is drill lots of small holes in the PVC bottom for drainage. The holes are smaller than the crickets.

Very nice setup!!!!

thanks for the quick feedback guys. I was going to use ....whats that thing called.. weed paper? that I have left over and placed it there.. I think I'm going to drill bunch of holes on that white plastic piece. I really don't like this cage because crickets can escape easily from the corners.

Nice, loving the umbrella plant to.

 

[Chameleonboy]

where did you get your plants from

 

[SoCaliSon]

Sweet Man! Carefull that those little babies don't try to squeeze out the bottom before you get it covered.

 

[Cainschams]

Looks Great! Like socali said. You might come home to a panther searching expedition hahahah. They are crafty little boogers. Keep me updated on the little girls. I hope you enjoy!

 

[PantherVeileD]

Oh its for my red bar and older veiled female. They are just big enough that they won't fit through. Do you see that cage with the G sticker on it. On the bottom right is the delicup that catches the dripping water.


I got the plant from HOME DEPOT! The one on the right was a deal!! I paid 12-14 dollars for it. Would of been a great plant to put it in my 24x24x48 but instead I stuffed it in the 18x18x36. In a few months I will have to move that plant into the bigger cage. Replace it with probably a pothos for my veileds.

 

[PantherVeileD]

oh the babies are in another cage.

 

[SoCaliSon]

Yeah those are the same Scheffs I buy from Lowes... They are normally around 4 foot tall and they sell them for $11.97!!! You may want to condsider trimming it up some...as I have found when you stuff it in there and bend up the branches they tend to die. I learned the hard way. But this past weekend I went in with 2 dead Scheffs, 2 dead Pothos, and a 10 gal Hibiscus, that have been sitting around outside for a month or so, and a handfull of reiepts... Easy as a breeze they gave me Cash back...I went back into the garden center and bought new ones! Unforutantley they were out of those scheffs... But I will be going back to snag them as soon as they are there.

I have also found that those shcheffs will go bare in a cage with a big climber. Their little branches are so fragile they get knocked off, and can't really stand the abuse of a larger cham that likes to tromp around like my guys.

Those are the sisters of my big guy I got today right? They look just like each other. Mine is really friendly. I opened the cage to put a silkworm in and he ran to my hand and was hanging out for a minute until he saw the silkworm then he ran off and got the silk.

 

[PantherVeileD]

yes got them from cain as well.

SOCALI- yeah I did some 4-5 trimmings but wanted to save as much as I can so I can move it later. I plan on using the plants to make humidity better and I hope that my cham(when he gets older and heavier) doesn't use the plant to run it over like a lawn mower! I just like the way it looks and the cham seems to love drinking water on top of the plant.

Cain- Packing the boa right now. Taking some pictures. Man I'm going to be late for work.
