Why?

Hello all, After several weeks of stressful cage building I have brought home my first Quad. Not sure if he is quad quad or quad gracilior I forgot to ask. I purchased him from Repxotica in NY. I still need to purchase more plants and turn the cage into a jungle.

Cant wait fir the captuve bred population to grow here. Congrats

Try putting at least one long misting a day. A lot of people do a 5 or 1p minute mist in the morning

Yes. Since there is no more importing its kind of recommended.

Im actually buying one this weekend! They need a lot of humidity and misting. Most will be wild caught from what I have seen. As mentioned we will no longer be getting imports for who knows how long.

Not a bad start. Just add some more plants

Dont quote me on this but im pretty sure only vields much on plants from time to time. If you dont have a vield im not sure if it matters

Thanks I apreciate it. Yeah i was gonna get a baby panther but for several reason I decided to go with Quad instead. I still need to get more plants since they love shade. I bought 2 bromeliads and an orchid today. Lighting is tbe real killer in this expensive process.

Thats a really nice build!!!

Gotta get some more plants and add branches. Still have to make the drainage layer and setup the mistking. Im still not sure if im gonna paint since half of people tell me not while the other half does.

Did you just use paint or did you waterproof also? I already bought some zero voc low odor paint.

The guy at reptile store said i should not paint the cage. Does the wood need waterproofing or will it be fine the way it is. I have a mistking that will go off several times a day.

First suggestion is take him to a vet asap. Its always good to have your cham checked sooner than later, especially with cham that may have been wild caught.

Put the walls and fencing up. Will continue tomorrow.

Where do you get locus?

You have to mix it up. Vieleds will eat almost anything so you have a lot of options.

Is your vet a reptile or exotic oet specialist?

Well keeping in mind that it takes a minute or so for a cham to actually adjust to the rain and clean himself etc, you should at least one 5 mintue showe in there.

Depending on how humid you cage is. I went and bought a cool mist humidifier which works great. If you struggle with humid you should get one.
