I’m an electrician by trade, but I work for a system integrator. We automate water and waste water plants. Iv attached some pics of my setup. The cage on the right is my female Sydney she’s fixing to lay eggs that’s why her cage is covered.
Lol thanks guys and gals, there are probably many many way cheaper options out there. I do work like this as a profession so it’s kinda habit to over kill simple project like this lol. plus it’s super fun to try and make my little guy and gals home as close to natural as possible.
Just put plenty of feeders in his cage, trust me he will hunt them down and eat. Both of my chams where never interested in a feeding cup. I tried many times but they did way better when I just randomly poured feeders around their cages. I was at first worried because I didn’t think my guys...
It is very possible, I have this set up on my cages. It is a way over kill and if I wasn’t in the profession to “come up“ on this kind of equipment it would have been very expensive. You need a dimmable ballast for your T5 lamps as well as a dimmable lamp. I have my system setup and controlled...
I feed mine crickets, depending on the size of the mantid depends on the size of cricket. I raise crickets also so I usually have a pretty good variety of crickets to feed. I sometimes put 1 or 2 mantids loose in my cricket bins and just let them eat what they want. I also spry them twice a day...
I’m no expert but I have successfully raised Panthers, light bulb wattages for heat are irrelevant ( it is true that a higher wattage means a hotter lamp ) but it’s all based on location and shrubbery in your cage. That goes for your UVB lamps as well. If you have a linear type bulb for your UVB...
I can’t speak for veileds but my first panther fell a few times before I realized that I had too big of branches for him to hold onto securely. Once I realized he couldn’t grip them good and changed out my husbandry for smaller branches I haven’t had a Cham fall since then. Welcome to the forums...
My little girl has 2 males Lester and Leon to be specific lol. Let me tell you they will get into EVERYTHING if you let them roam around the house. You have to baby proof any room they will be allowed in. They are fun to watch and are extremely affectionate they want to be in your lap if your...
My schedule is
6:30 am for 2 minutes
10:00 am for 4 minutes
2:00 pm for 4 minutes
5:00 pm for 2 minutes
I have panthers and am no Veild expert but this schedule has worked great for me for years.
I’m no expert but everything you are doing sounds perfect to me, both of my panthers were a slow start it seemed like they where never gonna grow and then next thing I knew they where grown lol. I wouldn’t worry to much at this point if he’s eating and pooping good. I would probably do a fecal...
Way To go Bill!! You have great products and I love the American made aspect of everything. I am a proud owner of 2 extra large breeder cages and look forward to a couple of the new style drainage trays and some baby cages ( I can’t remember what you called the small baby cages lol)
Yes ma’am I do, she has laid a clutch of eggs before. 15 eggs to be exact. At some point I’d like to breed her but no time soon she still WAY to young in my opinion. I guess I’d rather see a chameleon that is a little over fed than one thats underfed like the many we see here.
I’m no veiled expert but your little guy looks like he needs some groceries, you might try dumping a lot of dusted crickets loose in his cage. Don’ t use the feeder cup at first. Randomly scatter his crickets around his cage dumping them on vines and leaves. I’ve found when they are younger they...
Hey guys and gals I got a kick out of little Miss Sydney waiting for evening treat and wanted to share lol She came from Matt and has been a great little extension to our family. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
