    Humidity a BIG problem for my cham! HELP

    It is a good idea to get RH up a bit but I'm not sure the problem is as critical as your 0% RH reading makes it appear. It is extremely unlikely (darn near impossible) that this an accurate measurement. Worse case indoors in Chicago (where I'm at and similar climate to NJ) is 10-15% RH and...

    hanging plants

    I don't have it set up yet but have posted half complete photos in other threads (guess I'll do so again here because I'm very happy with this find). It is an expanding twig plant stand where the pothos pot sits in the middle and can climb up and hang down. It expands based on the diameter of...

    Thermal imaging pics

    Playing around with an infrared thermal imaging camera. Photos are taken looking down into the enclosure. First pic is Mad Eye (3 month old panther) on his basking vine (kind of perpendicular to the vine). The second pic is more of a close up of him climbing his vine under the basking lamp...

    Bathroom water

    Chlorine is a gas and will naturally be liberated from standing water regardless of exposure to UV (although UV might speed along the process). The larger the surface area of container in contact with the air the faster chlorine will be removed. Chloramines which may be added to municipal...

    Bathroom water

    Sorry - you must have posted the diagram when I was replying. It all makes sense now. The system you have should be OK because it is fed directly from the hot water tank. That being said - there is a chance of biofilm developing on the interior sides of the header tank. I would suggest taking...

    Bathroom water

    I'd be curious to know how exactly and for what purpose the water in your attic is used. Is it a cistern type set-up which would be an open container/resevior that is used to flush toilets (gravity fed)? Does it capture rain water or is it fed through the home's water supply? When you get...

    Misting before or after feeding attempts?

    I tend to mist first then wipe down the cage bottom - simply because crickets are way too good at drowning in a small drop of water.

    Cricket + Carrot = Orange Urate?

    Thanks for the advice. I try to switch up the gut load every few days and thought baby carrots would be good for moisture. Just could not figure out why he dumped one orangish load (I did not take a picture) then went right back to pretty white the day after I switched from carrot...

    Cricket + Carrot = Orange Urate?

    Noticed one dropping where the urate was orange. Searched this forum and found one comment that carrot gut load might be a cause (other than dehydration). I'd been using carrots the previous couple days - switched to greens and now the urate is white again. Just want to make sure that this...
