I think your bigger issue is if she is gravid. You better get her a lay bin set up. If you don't it could kill her as some chams will hold on to the eggs and get bound up.

I was curious about this as well. Not sure if a breeze (draft) can be all that bad.. Don't chams in the wild have wind blowing from time to time? I two use fans to control humidity. The last thing I want to do is hurt my baby, so I'm really interested I your thoughts as to why a breeze...

I was told that as well, but all 3 of my Chams know exactly where the basking spot is without a doubt. I'm not sure I buy into that school of thought any more. Sherman goes to the highest point under the heat emitter every morning to "warm" up. He spends a lot of time there. o_O He then...

The room Humidity is between 53% and 60%. This tells me the issue is in the terrarium and with the live plants holding moisture. I have a pretty high volume 12V (120mm) fan in the bottom blowing air from above straight in the bottom of the enclosure. I do run it at 9VDC, with reduces the...

Call Mist King or email them. Are you sure you are programming it correctly? I screwed the programming on mine when first tried to do it. I didn't realize the time format was HH:MM:SS and placed the run tim ein the wrong place and it seemed like it was never shutting off. :confused...

If you think about the many ways there to adjust the temp, then you will see that you can always adjust the bulb as needed. If you room is 70 F, then a 100W bulb may need to be 6" above the cage to make the basking spot the right temp. If you room is 60 F, then the bulb may be about 2" above...

Never heard of a damp-rid bag. I'll after look into that. I have thought of pluming in a PVC pipe down the back of his enclosure (bought a 4 ft section of black PVC for this already) and having it draw air and humidity out via a fan to an external room size humidifier. If just seemed like a...

How do you prime it? The few times I rand dry and filled my bucket, the pump would not output. I found that removing the output tube and manually running the pump until the water flowed out the pump solved this. I then simply push the tube back in and it works. I do not have any leaks, but I...

You need to be sure that the light fixture you are using is rated to handle the wattage of your bulbs. If not, your asking for trouble. Do not put a 150W bulb in a fixture rated for anything less than 150W. Preferably you want it to be rated higher than your bulb.

Yeah, I must be the only person on the forum who has the problem I do. I wasn't expecting someone to have a solution but was hoping for some discussion or theory to see if any of it could eliminate some wasted time and money when I test out humidifies. I had plastic plants, and it does fix...

:oops: Alrighty then.... The tribe has spoken. No one cares about active humidity controls. I'll work it out from scratch myself. :(

LOL, :) There are many on the market you can buy to do this, but I found them expensive so I designed my own.;) I must be all alone in my thinking as my threads on this never go anywhere: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/controller-feedback-please.126024/...

Or you could totally over thinking it like I did. :rolleyes: I use a ceramic heater for basking. I have the heater controlled by my Jacksonator (temp comptroller). Since no light comes from the emitter, the controller can easily cycle the emitter on and off to maintain a constant temp within...

I think you have it backwards. Dubias are better protein and much better feeders than Super worms. The super worms should be the "fattening him up" treat.

That's a good idea. I've used clear containers before, and both my previous chams would try to get the crickets thru the sides. :eek: I had to place the containers at the bottom to assure they came in on a downwards trajectory to the open top...:rolleyes:

I must have dumb crickets. Once they get out, they go to the bottom and don't go back up. Ever. :( I suppose it may be because I only have two pots in the bottom of my enclosure and not other way for them to climb back up unless they make the effort to jump up the 5-6 " and climb up the...

I have two fans, the one in the bottom is blowing air down into the bottom to dry out the floor. The top fan sucks air out.

Where to you place the food for the feeders? If you place it at the bottom, where my escapee crickets tend to wind up, they hang out there and unless the cham goes down there they will never get eaten. I don't know enough about crickets to know if they search or smell food and will go to the...

I use a feeder trough. Crickets will hide and get into corners and eventually die and rot in an enclosure. Even with a cup or trough some do get out and I clean every day in the evening and remove any live and dead feeders. I just made him a new one this evening in fact. Here's a picture of...

Are you losing the clock as well? I'm betting there is a battery or capacitor being used to store the settings. I don't believe I saw it mentioned in the setup guide, but most electronics, including your computer have a battery to keep the clock and other settings from being erased. If you...
