Oh gosh! I hadn't even thought of that. I'm really bad at using gloves usually. I tell myself... I'll just be careful with the stain, and end up with dyed hands for a week. I have a feeling expanding foam will be tricksey and gloves will be good. Thank you :)

@Hockey&Lizards I am so sorry for your loss :( It's really hard when they go down so quick. You did your best to aid her before her appointment and was willing to get her to a vet and that means a lot. If or when you plan your next chameleon, feel free to post cage pictures and fill out another...

Sounds like you have quite the big plans! I've never done an indoor enclosure from scratch, so I can't contribute tips. Hope to see the pictures once you have it up though!

I only saw the egg crate mentioned one other place during my search of old forum posts, but it seems a good idea. I am definitely looking to do the silicone/coconut fiber method. It seems simple and I like the look. Although I plan on ordering dragon ledges for most of the heavy lifting, I do...

Will be delving into great stuff foam soon. How hard is it to remove from surfaces, especially screen? I heard it doesn't permeate the screen. I'd hate for a permanent set up if I want to change it up down the road. I was thinking of using lighting "egg crate" to create a wall that can be...

What sort of pump and nozzle are you working with? Also, I really love those bromilliads (I think I say that to every member that uses them, lol). Do bromilads need extra lighting?

Nice! Looks like a fair amount of pathways. I'm always a fan of more foliage, although given time it looks like the live plants you have in there will help fill it out. Yes, an adult panther will need more room. My juveniles are in the same, but by next month I will have nice big 6ft tall...

I love diy, I've found it to be a fun part of the hobby :) do you plan on building the frame from scratch or converting an old armoire/curio cabinet etc??

Re reading your post you did say hood, not dome... I'm not seeing a linear 13W on their website tho, but if you can link me to the one on their website you are using it would help :)

It's unusual to have two uvb bulbs, was this part of a kit? This could potentially cause issues, but not 100% sure if it's THE issue. Exo Terra makes several 13W UVB bulbs, you said dome right? If I'm assuming correctly, you have the compact florecent as opposed to the linear? Is it Exp Terra's...

What strength are the UVB bulbs?

All great advice from syreptyon. I wanted to ask though what you are using for a basing light? It might be out of frame, but I only see a uvb light

Gorgeous boy btw

Hey there! Im at work and can't read through your husbandry list. Howerever I will say that unfortunately eye problems can range from so many possibilities. My panther did the same thing and I am working with my vet to figure it out. Will throw this out there though to help give youideas...

As long as the cage is allowed to dry up some between misting and is not completely wet all the time. You should be good. Some moisture before bed time would not cause a fungal I would not think. Did any of the cage or supplies come second hand or were used by another reptile?

Sometimes chams will angle their bodies so that their sides get the brunt on the heat. Hummm, I'm stumped as well

I'm not super familiar with burns, but the placement is a typical spot. How far is your basking branch from heat bulb?

Thanks @Jevin , it's frustrating for sure. I hope you have figure out Chandler's issue too. Too bad these blood tests can't just print out like a diagnostic report huh?

BLOOD TEST IS BACK! And not enlightening at all :( Plus Blue's poor tail is black after his blood draw. It still had mobility but it's super dark. I searched on the forums and apparently is may or may not get color again :( Although if I could just get him healthy I'd be happy. Despite vet's...

Nice vet! Glad your cham baby is on the mend! It's hard to believe such simple changes make the difference. Did the vet mention specifically what it is about the compact that causes eye irritation?
