Recently I went away for a couple days due to work, and when I came home my home was filled with this nasty ammonia smell! I thought it was my trash, or worse, one of my other pets had past on. After checking my animals and seeing them all alive, and taking out the trash, I found out it was my...

Went ahead and lowered the basking spot to around 81-82F (~27.5C) so I don't overheat him. So I thought about what you wrote, as well as listened to some podcasts & read some more forum posts. Sounds like the big things with captive care are air flow, and ensuring a higher nightime humidity...

Haha no I get it. That's why I posted this here, to get feedback! I don't take offense to it, I'm sure you all see the same mistakes again & again. So as you can imagine, I sealed the cage up to retain humidity & a bit of heat. Right now where I live in Canada, its a stark contrast from last...

I should also mention my goal a bit more specifically: I want the fog to build up to near the top, and have the fogger run for 4-5 hrs. Then about an hour or 2 before lights on, turn the fogger off. As soon as it turns off, I want the fog to dissipate almost immediately. This will allow the...

The back, sides, front door, and the bottom panel are sealed up. There is about a 1" strip of exposed screen on the bottom panel at the top, and the top is still screen only.

Yup, and this Seagrow is a liquid fert! They have 2 variations on how much to add per gallon, and they have it based on the types of plants being grown too. Its pretty generic though for indoor plants which is why I use the half strength. I find using a weak fertilizer not only prevents...

I've been working hard to get this enclosure up and running the past week or 2, but its finally complete! I just need to seal up the cage a bit better, as the fog seems to escape too easily and doesn't build up. I'm going to be playing with that today. Anyway, originally I wanted to make a...

I'm going to be using a fert called Seagrow. Its exactly the same product as Maxsea, but that no longer exists. Its a fertilizer based off seaweed, and its used by orchid growers & carnivorous plant growers. Considering how sensitive carnivores are to ferts, and that its made from a natural...

Yes I sure will! Caught myself doing that while setting up the timer for the first time.

I actually just checked it again this morning after coming across another thread on here. Faulty timer is the issue. I plugged the power directly into the pump and it worked perfectly! Already have a replacement on the way

Hey y'all, So I tried getting my misting system setup last weekend, but unfortunately its not working. There is power getting to the system, as the timer is on, but the pump is not making ANY noise. I've tried priming it, but no die. My reservoir is also ABOVE the pump so its gravity fed. Is...

Hey y'all, so I'm in the midst of setting up a new enclosure for a chameleon. I have all the equipment ordered, all that's left is to collect some hardwood branches, get lighting specific to plants, and get some plants for the cage. Right now I want to get going with the plants. The chameleon...

Did some more research and yeah, I'm gonna go with my plan for plywood or corrugated sides. The question with corrugated plastic panels is how strong are they? 1/2" plywood would be able to handle it for sure. Thinking about it to, I might go 3/4" as connecting the panels might be more difficult...

Thank you for all the suggestions! Did some research yesterday and decided to opt for the DIY option. The only reason I'm passing on the Reptibreeze is because its too flimsy by the sounds of it. I don't plan on using a centerpiece plant, and if I do it'll be a parlor palm or some other palm set...

Absolutely I'll share the setup when its done! And I'll probably do the same as you and replace the front screen with acrylic to get a better view, if I go that route.

Wow, thanks for the link! Just in time too, I see they are having a sale. Doesn't look like they ship to Canada, at least not without sending a quote first. I'll have to look into it, thanks!

Was just exploring Kijiji and saw someone had a juvenile male panther for sale. They bought him for a living wall, but quickly realized that is not suitable for him. He may have a bunch of plants to hide in & drink from, and the proper lighting, but he does not have the correct moisture...
