I've had chams for many years and I went about 5 without an automatic mister. Getting one was the best decision I ever made and I so wish I had done it sooner. The fine mist is so much better, they don't run from it and I love the rain dome. My panther runs up to it now every time it goes off...
For weeks I had been finding gnats in my house but I through they were just fruit flies from some left out fruit or drain flies. Then yesterday I put Hansel in his temp cage for our move and found a bunch of them coming out of his cage. Then this morning I moved his temp cage into the sun and a...
Again, amazing, Joel! I wish I had the time and space to do this. I've been off the forum for a while but one of the first tings I had to do yesterday when I came on was find what you've posted recently. I just can't get enough!!
I wouldn't. They will poop in them. Mine 100% of the time would poop while in the bath. And since they get most of their water from their weekly soak, veggies and feeders they don't need standing water. It's a bacteria playground. I just use the sink once a week. Or in the summer I had a small...
It took him a few hours but now he's finally in the plant and not hanging upside down from the top. And he's back to his normal blues and reds. I have never seen him go yellow before like the below picture. That how I knew he was really pissed off. Thanks for the encouraging wisdom though...
I would up it to once a week. Try the olive oil and see how that goes too. Add some variety in the salad. Sometimes that helps as well. Also remember as they get older they save it and poo less frequently. Once a week or even a bit longer. With my girl I was always shocked at how big hers were.
How often do you soak him? How often are you feeding? Do you use any substrate.
Use the Calcium 3x a week and add a multi vitamin once a week.
I would start offering a daily salad as well. Collards, kale, mustard, turnip, arugila. And some veggies like grated squash. You can also add a...
Update on my DZ. He's like a whole different Cham from when I brought him home! He's a beast and so good looking!! Just look at that head! He used to sleep in all white pjs. The picture below was a few months ago of him sleeping now he's even more blue. I'll have to try and get another pic...
Just wanted to give a quick update on my Hansel man since I've not been on in a few months. He's doing great. Eating well and loving a big cage. He likes it so much he is no longer the sweet friendly guy he was at the beginning. He doesn't mind me putting feeders in for him but if I even try to...
Hey all! I have been MIA for quite a while as we have been crazy busy but I wanted to jump back on let y'all know what is happening here. DZ(male ambanja from Kramers) is doing awesome. He's grown like a weed and loves his Dragonstrand Large Atrium. Hansel(male Veiled I took with MBD is also...
So, this is as I was setting it up. To me its a darker than their picture. It really looks good. Very sturdy. I had a zoomed and it was good but I feel the DS is better quality. Plus, they have good panels(the white strips) that go behind the doors so that the gaps are covered.
So, I have sticky little circles all over the clear sides of my dragonstrand from DZ's tongue from when he snatches his Black Soldier Flies. Anyone have any experience in getting the sticky off?
Correct. It slows the metabolism at night and then in the morning they go to the basking spot where it speeds back up again. It helps in a couple of ways. The first being that by slowing the metabolism helps them sleep deeper. Another is that the cycle of letting it slow at night and raise in...
It was in a few articles I read when I was researching the light at night debate. I'll have to look and see if I can find them. It was stated in more than one source. Something about how a drop of at least 10 degrees aids the metabolic process.
