it was under $40 for 3 screens made. the 2 sides that were 62" x 12" and the top screen which was 14" x 12".

for the screen on my first DIY cage, i bought charcoal aluminum screen from lowe's. i got that color because from what i read everywhere, it's the best to see through. that hard part for me was to attach the screen. after i failed and wasted some of the screen, i swallowed my pride and went to...

Home Depot has them cuz i see them all the time... but i'm out here in socal. idk about your local home depot. Yah the pot i had had drainage holes but i think it's definitely the fact that all i had was soil with a mix of perlite, which didn't seem too much at that. i've seen those river...

i DID have it planted in a pot that i got it in from a reptile shop's booth at the reptile expo in January. I have a Mistking and it's set to mist about 15 minutes total a day on varying schedules. I just think it was over watered so i'm definitely going to be repotting everything with less soil...

@Big Gulp looks good! wish my schefflera was that full... instead i had to learn the hard way about how those things are really sensitive to over watering. what is that plant with the red flower?

so i went to my local shop to buy some hornworms. I normally get individuals and get like 5 at a time, but when i went they weren't selling individuals because they were too small so i bought one those containers that have about 25 or so in it. that was on saturday and i didn't realize they grow...

thanks @JacksJill. i know the personalities vary with each individual. i'm just curious about how common it if is from everyone's experiences, if they are really more moody as juveniles. i hope that's the case and he grows out of it!:unsure:

My male panther is coming up on 7 months and just the past couple of weeks he started getting more aggressive. I would pick him up once a week and the last time i held him over a week ago was the first the i ever heard him hiss. It was when i had just picked him up. ever since then, he is always...

Yah i think so, and that's also what you will find if you look at most care sheets. But keep in mind that your cage is going to be very short term, as in only a few months. my cham is going to be 8 months and i am upgrading to my permanent enclosure in about a month. that cage is going to be 26...

i personally would go with the 60/45/60 since it's bigger, but in any case both cage sizes would be small for adult panthers. how old is the panther you would like to get?

Can you do consecutive sessions? So maybe 3, 2 minute sessions one after another? i didn't realize those had a limit... i was considering that monsoon when i was getting my setup together, but i read everywhere about Mistking and it wasn't too much more in price so i went with that.

i keep my lights on for 12 hours. 6am-6pm. I used to keep a schedule similar to yours, but shorter spray time @KeopiCat. But the problem i had was that i started to have mold growing in my wood because i didn't allow enough dry time. now my schedule goes as follows: same lights schedule...

yah i got what you meant... i meant the same thing. lol. the rest of my post was meant for @knuklez. but i have seen those $10 hydro/thermometers on amazon and was thinking about getting one of those. yah i was surprised too when i was told we walked around in the 60s, that's why i didn't...

I live in Anaheim and as @theintouchable88 said the humidity doesn't drop below 50-60s. when i was first getting started i went to my local reptile shop and i remember them telling me that people always panic about humidity but in socal, the humidity we walk around in is in the 60s. i was kinda...

I bought my Starter system at a reptile expo. I paid the retail price straight up, but saved money on tax and shipping. I haven't seen it anywhere else cheaper. So hopefully there's one near you soon!

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely look those up and see what would work.

A little bit of both, but the ones i would like to mount permanently into the viv would be the larger pieces. Thanks for the tip about the Cypress... i never looked into them, but i'll see if my wood guy can get those too. I was gonna post a future thread regarding moss use, but thank for...

I'm upgrading to a bigger, hardier cage in about a month and would like some advise from anyone who's had experience with long term use of natural wood. My current cage has natural grape wood and manzanita and i've learned some things about them in the 2 months i've had them, but hardly enough...

@Dragon1516 I just wanna make sure the answer is yes, but can you move those cups anywhere? From the pics you posted of your guy eating... on the first one, is that circle thing the only magnet holding the cup???

@broderp I've put dubious and super worms in them. I like seeing my cham pick off bugs from the side of the sticks with precision! But since you started this thread and i see all these recommendations for Nicks Feeder Cups, i'm seriously considering getting them for the new cage i will be moving...
