Also - raising the temperature will actually reduce relative humdity. Although it may provide a slight increase in total moisture vapor, specific humidity, if you are heating wet material. Leilaskeeper is right - best to try and reatain moisture or introduce more using a humidifier than...

Nice! I have one of Holman's (one of Easy Rider's neighbors). Some good pics on morph crosses can be found at: http://https://www.chameleonforums.com/pics-crossed-locales-37640

Welcome back! Who is the sire (I may have one of his brothers).

It is very unlikely that the relative humidity in your enclosure is 10% (near impossible this time of year). The accuracy of hygrometers is very poor at lower RH levels. Many have error of +/- 7% or worse at 30% RH and are not accurate at all below this level. Also, relative humidity will...

Absolutely love the name! Perfect for a panther and reminds me of the song from Blues Traveler's second album (before they started to suck).

Yep - found it at a local greenhouse/nursery. Saw it, loved it and had to have one! Did some research and found out they are made locally in the Chicago area and sold to smaller establishments and come in various heights from 24 inches up to 48 inches. So..in order to get these out to those...

The CFL is a 6500K which is for the plants (not heat or UVB). Two basking spots simply because the 30 inch length of the enclosure. They bulbs are 24 inches a part and provide variety (one is 40 W the other is 75 W. Thank you for bringing this up! I had not tought about it. Does anybody...

After 3 months of tinkering and scouring this site for valuable advice Mad Eye's enclosure is complete for now (I think & hope). Any advice related to chameleon health on things I might be missing or could improve upon would be appreciated. Features summarized as follows and in the photos...

Looks like a Japanese Beetle, an invasive species that is really pissing me off :(. They are one of the most common sources of grubs that kill lawns and some crops and last summer the adult form tried to destroy my cherry and birch trees. They are also a reason pesticides like Grub-X have seen...

I started to type a legnthy response about possible ways to exhaust and control pressure relationships between the room and outdoors to drop temps. Then realized any control system (such as fans and pressure differentials) would not be a solution because they would constantly need to be...

Some pics of MadEye. Approximately 4 month old chameloen soup (37% Ambilobe, 33% Ambanja, 16% Nosy Be, 6% Sambava, 5% Tamatave & 3% Maroantsetra)

40% is no where near sufficient for mold to grow using humidity alone. Your only possible problem will be from condensation. For condensation: If the relative humidity in your room is 40% and assuming the temperature in the room is 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) then the dew point would be...

Using supplemental humidification (giving a room more moisture than nature intended) often results in mold growth but it can be managed if you have a basic understanding of moisture dynamics. It also depends on whether you are referring to mold growth in the humidifier itself (simply clean it...

I put off getting a cham when our first was a baby for that reason. 10 years later, another baby and still no cham so I got one understanding that precautions need to be taken. We simply have a "no,no" room. All the crap we need to keep the baby seperated from - computer, coffee table with...

Congrats & Enjoy! (my youngest just turned 1 today - amazing how that first year goes by).

More than twice that age but less than three times.:o

As a follow-up. Perhaps the best approach is as mentioned above; keep windows and doors closed, if your ventilation system has outdoor air intakes then block them off. If you really want to take it to the next level maybe even consider not using exhaust fans (bathroom/stove) for a couple...

I really doubt it would be possible to answer that question. I've done some studies on exposure to asphalt (bitumen) fume and it can get complicated. There are a number of guidelines for HUMAN health exposure some of which depend on the benzene concentration of the asphalt (concern with cancer...

Maintained about 45-50% rh during the day. Spikes of 80% after misting. Dryed out (30%) overnight. Temps between 70 and 82 degrees. Two things I did not account for: - The ammount of moisture on the underside of the potted plant (trapped between the plant and the bottom of the aquarium...
