Great pic! Yeah, it is very Monty Burns!

 

[Syn]

Oh, and what is that brown stuff, substrate? :s

 

[Orchidartist]

Excellent LOL

Syn, the brown stuff is cocoa peat.

 

[Syn]

What's peat? Is it digestible? :s My general rule (for myself) is no substrate.

Looks like one of those natural-looking, custom-made backgrounds.

 

[BocaJan]

You do know the "no substrate" rule, don't you? LOL

hmm, ive seen some people use non toxic glue (or something..) to hold substate, and peat, etc to walls, makes it look jungly.. Im pretty sure thats what this person did, to me i wouldnt worry unless it can come off, and get stuck to crickets etc...

No, the correct UVB lighting is the linear bulb. Compact bulbs can affect your chams vision.

So did I. Looking forward to a reply tomorrow. Goodnight.

Yes, that is just his basking bulb.

Here is Rusty's jungle. It has foam/cocoa peat background and "vines". He doesnt eat it and he is cup fed.
