Well... It's funny you should mention that. Guess where mine is right now and how it is sitting. LOL. Guess I better go lay it out on the driveway in the sun.
I am gonna cut the sheets to size and then silicone them in. When they dry into place, I will install my dragon ledges which will further lock them into place. I'll show pictures when I'm done. I did this with my first cage but I used the PVC sheeting which was waaaaay more expensive.
I have been wanting to convert my reservoir with an auto fill feature. I already have my drain pans plumbed to drain the waste water, but I'd LOVE it if my misting system was FULLY automated. I'd like to see your plans. Thanks.
I am NOT an authority on veiled chams and their are many members that can give you more details, but I have heard of females starting to lay in as little as three months. If she's three months old, get a lay bin in there ASAP! Good luck!
That's the company that makes it, but this stuff is much thinner. Only .06 thickness. Also, It's made from recyclable plastics, so I'm down with it. Here's a pic of the label that was on it.
I don't know that all veiled do this, so yours probably are not "odd" per say. I just remembered the discussion as it was very interesting to me that it can be a problem for chams as well as us humans!
This material is probably known by many of you, but I am quite pleased I discovered it. The material is .060 thickness white plastic called PLAS-TEX. it seems like it would work GREAT for enclosing the backs and sides of cham enclosures. I found the material at Menards. It is located with the...
Is she by chance a veiled chameleon? They are known to be very opportunistic feeders, and will overeat when given the chance. Peter Necas was talking about the issue of overweight chameleons on the Chameleons USA Facebook group, and overweight chams do seem to be a somewhat common issue with...
I guess the jump in length of chameleon captive life span would indicate that the fogging isn't necessarily a must. However, I do feel that if millions of years of evolution have made this an important part of hydration for wild chams, this method might further reduce stress on our captive...
I will still use both misting systems as I do prefer the automation. I was just amused because I only bought my second mist king last week and it will most likely no longer be the backbone of hydration for my chams. Now I need to buy a fogger. Lol
Right or wrong, this seems the most natural approach to me, so I'm going to try it with my graciliors as I believe Janet is doing the same. If it works well I may do this method for all my chams. It kinda makes a misting system seem like an expensive extra if it's only used for two short...
