Would love to add silk worms into the rotation but most suppliers I've found are all east coast and I'd prefer not to pay for overnight / 2 day shipping.
Anyone know of any west coast suppliers?
He was up by the heat bulb (my other recent post) and he was agitated when I went to go grab him... he was jumpy and trying to "escape" my grasp for sure. Not normal. I think maybe the high heat up by the bulbay have contributed
He is fired up here for sure.
Also his eating habits have changed...
Here is a picture of my guy I got in July!
His colors are coming in so well!
Also he loves to be handled. As soon as I open his cage to add food he runs over and climbs up my arm!
Yeah doing that now. Already up to 97 degrees F and still going up.
(UPDATE; it's plateaued around 101.5F)
Measure with a govee monitor so I trust it.
They don't thermoregulate? I've never heard that before!
9 month old panther for reference.
So I have my cage set up so the closest branch to the basking bulb is about 8in and about 82degrees at the highest point.
My chameleon likes to hang out on the screen, upside down, under the basking lamp and plant light depending on his mood.
There is no...
Back when @klydoscope was around I asked this same question.
I actually built a working version with (probably) the same sensor.
Material costs was like $15 with an arduino, uv sensor, and a Nokia display
I made it, didn't trust my results so I bought a solar meter and the results were the...
It's funny because the stuck shed, from across the room, looks like those stick on googley eyes so every time I walk by and look over it makes me do a double take thinking he's got giant eyeballs looking at me haha
I've had him since July 25th and he hatched Early May so he is 4months old now.
This was his first shed since I've had him and there is some stuck shed around his eyes.
Should I intervene or give it a few more days.
He shed August 13th
Oh yeah my longest misting session is only 2min 30 seconds. With the 2 nozzles in my 2x2x4 it's enough to get the water dripping for a good 30sec while it's misting and about 1min after.
I also run a dripper for about 30min 3x a week.
The ball valve is an interesting idea although I would...
OK so I've asked before and did some research with adding irrigation drip emitters to my mist king to keep my plants watered.
Well, I recently had an opportunity to redo my enclosure and I took it as chance to experiment with adding an emitter and individual drip lines.
I have 2 mist nozzles...
Yeah he's super sweet and I try to handle him, even briefly, daily (usually to get him off the ceiling safley)
I think he's close to a shed since he is starting to dull up a little bit! He's grown a lot so it's a waiting game!
Did say earlier I hate crickets?
So I bought 100 (they probably game me more like 250/300 medium crickets. Built a 5gal plastic tote container with a giant vent up top and vent on the side for some cross ventilation.
Added my bug burger and 5 days later have probably lost half of them.
I'm...
