Hi everyone,
I am wondering if you can recommend a few things for me.
1) I do not think the Exo Terra thermometer and hydrometer are reading properly, I am not seeing much of any fluctuation with heat/no heat and misting/non- misted times. I know the change is there, however it is simply not detecting it! I am looking to invest in a digital; however the local stores have several brands to pick from! What do you all like?
2) I am not able to acquire the feeders I would like to offer my Cham, such as roaches, silk worms, horn worms, etc. The local shops told me they do not have enough market for it and as such will not special order them. Who do you guys like, who has great quality feeders with reasonable shipping rates?
3) I am noticing on many of the other threads that most of you do not use a sub straight with your Chams. I understand the reasoning behind this and as such have some concerns with what I have been using? I have been buying Reptibark for the bottom (he has never gone down, but I just rescued him and he has only been moving around for 4-5 days now (in his tree tops). I use reptile soil for the top several inches of his plants so he has no exposure to the potting soil or perlite. Do you guys feel he could be at risk of ingesting the Reptibark? I will remove it right away if this is the case!! I have known others to use peat moss, however I always felt it would hold mildew and be impossible to clean so I never utilized it.
This little guy has come back from near death since I acquired him and is still a long way from healthy so I need to ensure he is in as stable an environment as humanly possible!! One aspect off could be the difference between him making it or not!! Good news is he has been observed drinking readily from his dripper on many occasions as well as always lapping water off the leaves following misting sessions since Sunday
Thank you in advance for any feedback!!
