From looking at the LYR web I can see were lighting upgrading might be overwhelming. There should be clearer images of all the lights not just leds and florescents. Most of us don't understand what the physical differences are and how the different parts and pieces fit into what fixtures. I...
Olimpia has a great idea. I've tried umbrella plants before and they are pretty fussy. Once they start going down hill like yours, they rarely survive. The stalks will turn black with root rot and I don't think you want that around your cham. I'm pretty good with plants but I gave up on them in...
Hey, Xanadu. Looks like a nice beginner setup. I built my own cage but it's still screen and I wanted to have more vines & things up high for my cham. Finally I tried velcro strips on the upper frame and wrapped pieces around the vines and it worked really well. Some of the vines criss-cross the...
I know that it depends a lot on the parents, whether they were wild-caught or captive-born, diet, and such. I have seen some only 9-10" full grown and, like my veiled, others over 20" nose-to-tail tip. Maybe some pics or more details would help someone give you a better guesstimate? Thanks.
Personally I always keep a bottle of Reptaid on hand. Even though mine is from FLChams, I still give him a dose once a month for digestive tract help. It can be difficult the first time or two but your's will get used to it as well. "Reptaid was developed to target common reptile health issues...
Another product I've used with tremendous results is from Delta Creative. It is called Ceramcoat. It is water-based and non-toxic. Also it sets up within 30 minutes and fully cures in an hour or two. You can find it on Amazon for around $6-8 an 8 oz bottle. Mix it with about 30-50% water to your...
I have used Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane with wonderful results. It is not water-based so it needs to cure outside of the home for about 3 days. I have covered white pine, oak, and plywood with 0 deterioration in almost 2 years since the cham cage was built. It still looks good. I had had...
Here's my take: Mostly everything sounds pretty standard. I use Repashy Calc Plus at every dusting. The d3 is very, very low so it is not ever too much. I don't like Flukers for chams. It isn't as beneficial as one may think. Why not use Repashy Bug Burger and or Superload Gutload Formula...
Please get rid of the water bowl...they are not good around chams for several reasons. Mealworms are like Cham Crack. Get him off them if you can but at least gut load them and dust them well. Their exoskeletons are hard to pass and they tend to be fatty. That being said, mine will just about...
Day dripper is fine with drainage but get a mister unit as well. Oh and get rid of the night heat light. Is not needed for veileds for sure. If temps are 60f or above they are fine at night.
Feeding mealworms is not a bad thing! Most say you should limit them to snacks or treats but they can be gut loaded and dusted just like any other feeder. The casque is not very big but everything else about it looks Veiled.
We lost our first cham after less than 6 months and really beat ourselves up as a result. It was about a year before I could bring myself to try again. I did research, here and elsewhere, checked out several breeders and finally went with an FLChams. Our boy is about 2 1/2 years old now and the...

Sounds like way too much watering! My misting system uses about 5-6 gallons a week. It cycles about every 3 hours for 2-3 minutes from 8am with one extra short cycle in the summer around 3pm (8, 11, 2, 3, 6). That's it. Rambo is two years old now and none of the plants have died. It stays around...
Just jumping in here...sort of late. I scanned through all 58 of her posts from May 14th to now. That temp gauge is very inaccurate. If it were real the cham would be fried by now. Those can be turned by hand in the back and I would be positive that it is incorrect. She really needs to get a...
