Haha sorry to disapoint everyone. Just bored and trying to be creative. I have seen pics of some of the members here... a girls and chams forum would be heavily traveled I am sure.
tagged for resluts and hopefully cham arriving healthy and just jet-legged.
Who was shipping it to you? Was it someone who does it often or someone who might not have the knowledge to do this without stressing or killing the animal?
Ok all you pervs. Lol. :D
Here she is. A real big fan of the Sun. Need to get her a proper enclosure out there so she can sunbath for longer periods.
Her "inside" colors. (slightly annoyed)
Hanging by the pool
A little flared up. I love her whites and yellows.
For clarification purposes, have you tried crickets in a feeding cup. You mentioned you dont want them to attack your cham at night, does that mean you re not using them at all? My cham is not a fan of other feeders in the cup besides crickets either.
Looks good. Should be a nice home for your guys.
Question I have is how is the wooden floor working out? I forsee drainage and molding issues in your future.
OK question about lighting then.... could be its own thread I guess. My house has AC set at 77F. With the light on and raised 6 inches it is around 85-86. So should I not use a basking light then and just use UVB? Is a few degrees low better than a few high?
I have read up on and researched some regarding breeding crickets. I have thought aout it. Not sure if I want to though. Seems like I need to limit diet a bit so we will see what my actual cricket needs are. Seems like a lot of stinky work, but I guess I wont really know for myself unless I try...
sandrachameleon - Holy crap that worked almost instantly. I put 2 in her cup and nothing. I set one on the screen and she ate it within 10 seconds. nice tip, thanks.
I understand that they seek high places. There are higher places in the enclosure that are not in the basking light and she does not climb them. She likes to climb where the light is. I will adjust lighting tomorrow to try and cool it a few more degrees.
Basking temp has been running between 87 and 92. I know that is the high end, but she seeks higher hotter ground if I allow her to so I figured where it is is legit.
guess what plants eh? Well if it was around here and you had the cammo over it I would say that it is a plant that makes you hungry after smoking it. :eek:
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the advice. I am going to cut that back some and try some variety.
Tex panther man: No I would not like Tuna every day, makes me not hungry even thinking about it. The crickets are gut loaded properly, so I was not overly concerned.
Hallenhe: Yes you are...
I have a ~4-5 month old female Veiled. She is eating me out of house and home. She has been consuming approximately 35 crickets a day. I have tried to give her superworms and wax worms but she wont even touch them. Crickets being fed are 1/2". My next order of 500 will be 3/4" so they last me...
No need for substrate in the cricket keeper. I would remove that for ease of finding them, eliminates places for them to hide also you can clean it in between batches. My .02$
