Banshee just got here yesterday, I went in at lunch to check on the cham's. I couldn't find her anyplace. She wasnt up in a plant on a branch and not in her enclosure based laying bin. So I look around some more slowly and she was climbing out of a small hole on the back side of the umbrella plant.
I would of left her but i did not want to deal with trying to excavate eggs from that planter, I need to replant the umbrella, its maxxed out in the planter and no dig room its all root.
So while she crept up slowly I pulled out my 18x18x36 and oversized planter and set that up off in the corner. When she came up and for a while I took and placed her in the laying bin enclosure. I then pulled out the umbrella and started to check and she had dug down about 7-8 inches already but had ran into the side of the planter and i guess stopped.
So my question is I just leave her in that enclosure till she doesn't look fat anymore basically correct? She will be dirty and laying some place exhuasted looking is what I understand.
Do i need to leave the uvb light on her thru the night or normal 12 hr shifts, etc? This will be my 1st cham clutch and want to make sure I do everything right for her. I was expecting her to lay but not within 1st cpl of days.
