    disinfecting branches

    I soaked the end in white vinegar and then wiped the hole branch down with it as well. Hopefully just raising it a few inches from the bottom will help it from coming back.

    disinfecting branches

    no conditioner used in the dripper i just use bottled Poland Spring water. Ive seen similar mold grow on fish food that didn't make it into my tank and sat on the rim for a few days. So maybe that's just the type of spores in my apt.

    disinfecting branches

    The tray itself is not full but the fron corner has a small pool in the corner from the dripper, and that just happens to be where the branch touches the bottom

    disinfecting branches

    Im not sure of the brand i went to Michelle craft store looking for dowel rods but they didnt have any but I found these branches that looked much better anyway. I did soak and scrub them just incase they were treated with any chemicals or bleached. Its just the two branches that contact the wet...

    Neptune Apex style controllers for reptiles?

    lol I'm doing some research on it now. so it looks like like with the humidity probe its just an on off to power so whatever fogger you use just needs to be able to power on automatically when plugged in?

    Neptune Apex style controllers for reptiles?

    I have a screen 2x2x4 coming in tomorrow and plan to cover the back and left side with plexi and put hinges on the right side so I can open or close it and leave the front screen. I don't want to just turn a fogger on and let it run all night like I did before and soak my floor again. I guess I...

    Neptune Apex style controllers for reptiles?

    I'm looking for a fogger that will work with probes but I see endless amounts of uses for a controller; dimming lights if it gets too hot, activating fans if its too hot/humid during specific time ranges. honestly I'm still very new to chameleons but already see a ton of use cases. I was not...

    Neptune Apex style controllers for reptiles?

    Rhis would be awesome but Im certainly not tech savy enough to do a setup like that i feel like an engineer just trying to right the command lines on the apex which is verry user friendly.

    Neptune Apex style controllers for reptiles?

    Im looking for something primarily with humidity probes i can use to control a fogger if its bellow a certain level between certain times. I have not heard of the herpstat but will look onto it. But a system like the apex could have a huge amount of uses for a chameleon enclosure.

    Advice for a cranky boi

    When i brought him home from the expo he was verry upset and understandably so, he was at an expxo in a 12 inch cube and then stuffed into a paper bag for a 20 minute car ride home. And 20 minutes of trying to get him on a stick is when i decided to put the glove on and speed things up a bit. He...
