Hey all. When do your chams start looking for their sleeping spots? My old male & my female start looking for their sleeping spot about 45 minutes before lights out but my 1yr old male has been going to his sleeping spot an hr & a half before lights out. Right before the last misting. My 3 chams get identical care. Heres the basic lowdown of my husbandry...
2x2x4 reptibreeze enclosure
reptisun 5.0 linear tube
60 watt clear glass incadescent housebulb
12 hr cycle
basking temps range from 84 to 90 throughout the course of the day, 74 ambient, 69-70 at night.
digital temp gun & thermomiter used to gauge temps.
humidity sit at around 50 but jumps to 90 during misting, then gradually falls. digital gauge as well.
my mist king goes off 5 times a day 6, minutes each session. Dripper runs all day.
3 to 5 large crix a day as the stape gutloaded with collard greens, sweet potato, carrot, strawberries & apple. im using repashy insect gutload for my dry portion.
suppliment with repcal cacium, no d3, 5 times a week & reptivite with d3 twice a month.
also feed supers, hornworms, silks & butters as treats.
foliage consists of one large benjamina ficus, 1 pothos. many different levels of vines running throughout.
top of the cage is about 7 feet from the ground. located in my livingroom, very low traffic. lowest traffic in my house.
the problem is that an hour & a half before lights out seems a bit early to be looking for a spot to put on the pjs. no sleep during the day. he curls up early but is still very awake & aware of everything. again, this care is identical to my other 2 chams with the exception of a slightly smaller cage & feeders & lower temps tfor my female. no similar problems with the other two. anybody have similar experience? any advice, help, reassurance would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
justin
