I'd like to know your opinions on the use of basking lights.
Am i correct in my theory, that if the vivarium temperature is around mid 20°C, there's no need to turn it on. Its for a juvenile veiled chameleon?
I read conflicting reviews that its supposed to be for 12hrs like the UVB lights...
Figaro arrived this morning. He's really cute in many ways! He has settled in really well and devoured three hoppers on arrival. This morning he's up and about exploring his wee jungle! I notice he rocks back and forth whilst walking. Ive read this is normal behaviour. He also has tried biting...
I'm trying to be extra resilient for my arrival tonight. Sadly i lost Hammy only 2 weeks ago. He took pneumonia unfortunately. It was too late to save him. The vet said that they are very clever hiding their illness until its too late. He ended up in an oxygen tent. Bless him. I only had him...
Yeah, Figaro is indeed a wee 3/4 month old male veiled. Enniskillen is Ireland's only island town. We're surrounded by two huge loughs/lochs perhaps that has a, bearing on conditions? We've had torrential rain and thunder this afternoon. The air is humid anyway!
There's two fans! One draws air in and one draws out. Handy i suppose. What i dont want, is the incoming air to cause any ill effects. I'm sure you'll understand. To combat this, I'm planning to open a door fully when necessary and cover the opening with wire mesh I've ordered. Thats my plan, to...
Where I'm based geographicallly, in Fermanagh N Ireland its a humid setting anyway!
My glass vivarium is 3ft wide x 2ft tall and in fact it will only be used tonight, for the first time!
My main issue is slightly high humidity as in mid afternoon its sits around 60%. It always rises at night...
I bought this 'Air Mover' recently and I'm not sure if its worth using. I don't want to jeopardise my cams health with drafts overhead, running 24/7! It doesn't lower, either the heat or humidity, but seemingly, just ventilates/stirs the air inside. They're totally silent, thats one really major...
Didn't see your other thread. Do you know now what i mean about the glued strips? I've added a little extra down the sides to the bracket. Failing that, I'll just use a much lighter bulb. The Arcadia one, is very weighty!
Did you receive the photo?
Out of interest, i assume there's no point in leaving a water bowl in the tank? I'll have to keep a tight watch on misting too, as it'll only increase the humidity.
