Make sure there’s plenty of air flow. Here’s my two totes. I reused the vents that Josh’s Frogs had on the shipping boxes for my crickets and hot glued screen too. In between ‘cleaning’ them, I will sometimes leave the lids half off. This is the inside - you’d never tell that this was...

I’m so very sorry. 😢 RIP to your sweet friend.

Some questions about your uvb…what brand bulb have you been using? How old is/was the bulb? Is your uv next to your basking bulb? If so, what have your basking temps been? The only brands uvb that I would trust are Arcadia and ReptiSun. While I’ve only tested one other cheaper brand, the result...

Temp. I even tried a room ac to supplement the central ac, but it didn’t work out.

2 minutes is a lot for night. I would do 1 minute or less. What are your night temps? I’m on the space coast and can’t get below 73-74 without an electric bill that would bankrupt me.

Some vets do advise 10.0 (Arcadia 12%) uvb, but we want to stay with the 5.0 or 6%. Make sure there is a distance of 8-9” between basking lights and basking branch. That does look like a burn, but I can’t be 100% certain.

I’m not able to achieve low enough night temps for fogging, so I do run a couple of 15 second mistings during the night for a subtle boost of humidity. In addition to my 2 minute mistings before lights on and off, I have a 1 minute misting in the afternoon. All my chameleons’ urates are nice and...

First, what kind of crickets do you have? Domestic crickets are the ones usually sold by pet stores and not only do they stink far worse, but they also die off quicker. Banded crickets are most definitely much much better and are available by most on line bug vendors. It’s also important to...

Parasites are not able to be seen in poos without a microscope, which I believe identifies their eggs. There are several different types and no one medication treats all. This is why a fresh fecal is needed - identify which parasite to determine which med is the correct one. Parasites can cause...

If you’re able to get a fresh poo, it would be good to get him checked for parasites. That is my first suspect of what may be going on, aside from husbandry error (I assume all is good there). Nothing against your vet (don’t know him or her), but do be cautious if medication is prescribed or...

Yes, it’s perfectly fine to have 2 separate UVBs - 1 on each side. Each side you still want to be the same type and strength though - Arcadia Pro T5 with their 6% (Forest dwellers) uvb bulb. Depending on what plants you get, you may not need more than the one jungle dawn. Plants that are...

I can’t help with growth logs. I’m just here to say that your baby is totally stunning! I love his baby blues. 🥰 💗 🥰 💗

How’s your fella doing today? Any bruising or anything?
