I believe if you don't have a solar meter, it's really not recommended to use a mvb for a chameleon because it could be either too hot and too much uvb or not hot enough and not enough uvb.
For egg cartons, try going to your local grocery store and ask a clerk/manager if they have some to spare in the back. Unless u got a store that sells them. Get enough and pick the best ones as some might be dirty.
I agree, with proper gutload I've seen my dubias reproduce like crazy and no need for water crystals. And don't u dare give them oranges as I think it's their aphrodisiac lol also, if u give them yam or potatoes, I noticed if not removed after a couple hours, they forme some gunk from the...
I also lined the top of my 66 quart Rubbermaid tub with Vaseline just in case a roach got too close to the edge. Keep in mind thou that you might have to clean the bing more (twice a year at least) because with the heat, the Vaseline might drip down a bit, just use a little. And ventilation I...
I've never heard of that and I've been doing quiet a bit of reading. I know females usually show lighter colors but depending on age, that's when the colors are more noticeable. There's a thread here with extensive pictures about people asking about the sex of their chameleons, do a quick search...
There's many experienced keepers here that use that quad fixture for 2 cages with one uvb bulb from what I've read and with no issues. The only thing I've seen is that if the cages are really dense in foliage they do put 2 uvb bulbs to get better coverage. I have the dual as I'm only getting 1...
I think people would ask for a closeup of his/her bumper to help u out. Males have a little bulge right before the beginning of their tail but I think he s a little young to be certain
I just drilled 3 holes n the plastic floor and set my pot in the middle so it pushes down and directs the flow there . The pot had previously drilled holes so excess water drains too. I put a sterelite container to catch the water which isn't much even after 4 misting sessions of 2-4 minutes...
Mistking and climist. Are the ones recommended here all the time. They're both around 130 so you'll have to fork over the extra 40 with shipping plus 5 for a reservoir bucket. Monsoon seems to be really unreliable as I've read the timer burns because water gets in it. I'm sure other experienced...
I'm no expert but from what I've read, the 10.0 is too strong unless u have a big cage and it's really dense with foliage. The recommended is the 5.0 reptisun. Reptilglo, or 6% Arcadia. Maybe looking through the forum will tell u if the 10.0 is responsible for the burns
The unknown plant I belive to be called standing pothos, I've seen it in cages but not 100% sure of its toxicity. They didn't have croton? I've found them at lowes a lot just too small
I wish my gf was ok with as many reptiles as I want lol I got a limit but it'll soon be maxed out when the weather clears up in Cali. She doesn't like reptiles or bugs, crazy i know!, somehow she's ok with Rex my beardie but she was there when I got him maybe that's why. Lol
If you're on a budget, get a GE undercabinet lamp from amazon or home depit, they're like $15 + about $20 for a 18" t8 5.0 uvb bulb but I would recommend you get the 24" as you'll need to upgrade his cage later on. But if not, go with Lightyourreptiles dual t5 fixture. That's what I got as I'm...
