    My set up for my Jackson's

    it is a very common plant, I have a small one at the bottom of the cage and my juvenile jackson sleeps on it every night without issue. The problem would be whether or not your chameleon tries to eat the plant or is heavy enough to break branches, which would cause the sap to excrete. Having a...

    juvenile veiled enclosure

    After examining the suggestions that were made to me I decided to introduce two baby veiled chameleons from an all glass aquarium to an 18x18x30 all screen reptibreeze. There is a plexi glass sheet with holes drilled for drainage and a bare screen floor. The screen floor will be steam cleaned...

    Is My Setup Ready?

    You are pretty much completely ready, well done. Have you stress tested the environment though? That entails intentionally creating the worst case scenario with highest humidity and the highest temp during this time with all of the lights on. Leave the pump on to simulate a timer failure. See...

    Reptisun Compact Fluorescent?

    are you talking about the zoomed reptisun mini linear? like a CFL but not curly twisted? like tubes stacked next to eachother? zoomed has a very high standard of testing for natural and un natural radiation in their uv lamps. They also have not switched manufacturers since 2008 meaning hteir...

    Ideal Neonate/Baby Care in Aquarium with no drainage :(

    I have 3 small ferns in there with them right now. The basking light is attached to a standing lamp with a 40w spot bulb. I have it focused on primarily 2 branches as they are both being housed together, and partly on one of the ferns to help with humidity. I always let the cage and plants dry...

    homemade mister (fine mist)

    This is a complex DIY project that I myself am still sorting out the details of. You need a Diaphragm pump capable of producing at least 100 psi and a bladder tank capable of retaining 110psi+ You also will need all of the valves and tubing to be capable of withstanding this kind of pressure as...

    Ideal Neonate/Baby Care in Aquarium with no drainage :(

    I just got two very tiny baby veiled chams yesterday and after an entire night of reading I discovered that they are still too small and young to be placed into the all screen 18x18x30 exo I have. I decided to keep them in the 10 gallon aquarium for the time being. Has anyone had any...

    Tips on Cup Feeding?

    I actually just started experimenting with this today. Giving the insects something to crawl around on, not hide in but crawl on helps lure them to the cup. Providing visiblity seems to be a big factor. Providing enough sticks on the top to have multiple angles to launch their tongue rocket from...

    humidity "timer" - is there such a thing ?

    spyder looks cool and ecozone is the real deal/wealthy site sponsor; but with practicality and affordability in mind i'd go with the hygrotherm controller off amazon http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-HygroTherm-Temperature-Controller/dp/B0019IHK9Q

    help! No experience with veiled cham(s)

    I was thinking about using leaf litter to prevent them from hurting themselves if they fall from a branch. They also provide a place for the feeders to hide and crawl around and help with humidity. I forget who but someone recommended that I try it when I was having problems with my previous...

    help! No experience with veiled cham(s)

    Yea, the exoterra I have is all screen and what I used for my jackson as she was getting bigger. I will clean and get that ready tonight for sure. It has a few holes from installing the misters and branch screws that need plugged but it is still in decent shape. Problem is the feeders being...

    help! No experience with veiled cham(s)

    Preventing insects from going to the top?

    The feeders will not eat the soap. Every care sheet on this website encourages you to spray down every plant and item that will be inserted into the enclosure with a diluted solution of dish soap and water. Every care sheet for every plant that I have read ecourages you to spray down plants...

    Plant question.

    Yea, try and pull it out to repot it and loosen up the roots as much as possible before you put it in the new pot. Shaking the soil and plant helps to get more fresh soil inbetween the roots while backfilling the new pot. Your watering is fine, are you able to measure the run off that you...

    Plant question.

    does your mist come out as a foggy mist or does it come out like rain? I water 8x at 2m in the form of rain, approx 3/4 gallon per day and have no problems. The hibiscus seem to be the only plant that struggles in these conditions. The false bottom rock drainage system is great advice but...
