There is no tegu savings time, if its 8pm, he still wants his 7pm banana... But at least hes really red from the fresh shed.

He might have hyper extended it, so it might not come out for a good long time, or never again. Most of mine never make it till death with a fully functional tongue. If its low calcium, it starts out as misses, as the flinging bone gets springy. Unfortunately chams cant adjust aim, so if that...

Id say half my crew dies of kidney failure. Top three causes based on 30 years experience: Protein source. Just because they weigh a pound and can eat pinkies/earthworms like a snake just fine, doesnt mean it should be the main protein source. Feeding low protein sources such as bugs...

Keep in mind really good grow lights, only output the spectrum that doesnt reflect off of leaves. AKA your leaves would look black/purple, not "green" since green is not absorbed.

Another idea is small fans(some of use use small pc fans that are almost silent ) just to keep mildew down. If you cant lower the humidity, at least you can keep mold growth down.

Green= girl :)

can you do a ring of coconut or bees wax or petroleum jelly? I use that to keeps bugs "in" the bins.

They will just curl up and turn into beetles. They are not going to seek out the cham... Happens all the time here. Worst case they get into the cork bark or other big stick, and you can hear them slowly chewing all night :P

I never got any mold growth, even with poop. However LOWD does the loose crickets love to breed in the stuff...

Yup there have been plenty of cases posted even in the last year of the unchewed ones coming out the other end and starting to wiggle again. There doesnt seem to be any harm to said chams, but i wouldnt take a chance with a large amount of them with a disabled cham. Now you can still feed them...

Plenty of chams live without the tongue. For me, two ended up hyper extending them, which caused them to never shoot out again. They turned into iggy/beardy tongued, and they learned they had to get right up to a feeder to eat. They all had to be tong fed the rest of their lives sans a silky...

Welp thanks to #60degreejanuary Hes up two months early... Oh and since winter is back this week, its a perfect time to get rid of that thick protective brumation shed, while its 25% humidity...

Its not thats its a cheap meter. Its the fact its a UVB meter and not a UVI meter. There is no direct conversion, but rule of thumb is 40:1. So yours says 109, so thats almost 3 UVI, which is on the money.

Uh keep in mind at that at this late stage you do not want to rotate the egg...

The fixture is compatible with any T5HO bulb of the same length. So that means you can swap out a 12% if you get a beardy, or swap out a 6500k bulb and get a 2nd fixture for UVB if your plants are not doing well. And yes you can swap out for the reptisun 5.0 and 10.0 bulbs. The only thing you...

Yup thats the right kit. T5HO 6%.

Im more interested in this "sun". Even if its not UVB, if OP found a full spectrum bulb(not just red/green/blue spike led) in the camera world, that might help alot of us that had SAD chameleons in the winter :)

"if you can walk on the screen, yea ant big enough"

I find if i fog through the screen, it condenses the fog into "rain" by a good amount. So i fog directly from the tube into the side towards the top.

A few things. This cfl light is junk, its meant for 12-18" tall anole/gecko tanks, not 3-4ft tall chameleon cages. You really need to get a T5HO 6% or 5.0 from arcadia or zoomed. For most poofiness i recommend zero vitamin/mineral supplements for 30 days. Only dust with plain calcium without...
