The drainage area is something I really want to improve. It collects much of the water but I could ot find a tub large enough to cover the entire area. A gutter system is what I want to have. or something that allows all the water to collect and drip into the tub.
Dont think I will have...
Well, it's been a long time since I've been here - busy working, house up-keep, family issues, etc. Just wanted to give everyone an update on my little guy Waldo. By little, I mean little.....I didn't recognize his growth until coming back to see his old pictures, but he still seems to be a...
am I evil for laughing at the fact that half the neighborhood has dead greens in their yard, including mine..lol. I did dump the 500 "too big" crickets in my backyard being that its all field grass (I rent the house and the homeowner did not sod the back yard, so every two weeks I have 4' high...
UPDATE: All sides except door, top and bottom screened. Multiple thick coats of paint applied. Door built (need to reinforce and shave a little of edges to fit easy) and installed
To Do: Need to reinforce the door a little as it feels really unstable. Need to screen the door. Need to...
I dont remember the thread, but I seen where somebody poly coated and I guess you have to let it dry for 48 hours and yet it still has some strong odor to it. Soon after in the same thread a reply said to use exterior latex paint - dries quicker and etc. Sure hope I didnt read wrong! But...
Before getting too far I took the frame apart into a few peices and cut short the depth, so turning length wise the cage fits through all doors now, then I just put it back together. Easy fix, just bad measurements on my half.
The paint is an Interior/Exterior Black Latex paint from Home...
Im still liking the black mesh screen better than the metal like I have now. i might go and grab a roll and replace a side (back if I decide to go with painted plywood back instead of screen) just to get an ideal. The metal screen is just a mess to deal with and punctures easily...
Update, bought the rest of my supplies today, but I'm not sure how I want to do the door. I'll figure it out with some thinking. Here are my updated pics, enclosure is fully painted with two sides of screen put in. Its kind of sloppy and will be touched up. I am going to coat this thing in...
My escaped convicts luckily stay under the UV light (tiny space between the light and mesh) once the get loose....not very smarts fellas...but they sure love to tease waldo as he follows them and wonders "how in the f* do I get him?"
Looks like a happy little fella!
3 months, my cham is supposedly about 2 months (arrive Feb 28th, shipped at 4 weeks. 1 month plus time until now =2 months) and about the same size. I was concerned with growth because I rarely saw him eat and had a lot of escaped crickets, but I wipe lots...
Took a really cool pic of Waldo's face, close-up. Its on a memory card, unfortunately every time i try to load the card into my computer, it attempts to forcer me to format it, losing all pics. Any ideas on a fix?
Not a big fan of it, It works though, no holes or tears yet, but nothing can sit on top without pushing the top down and every time you unzip to get it open (it rattles the entire cage scaring the chameleon) and the netting slips back a little. The zipper end broke on me already.
Just not...
Post Shed:
I've never seen his appetite so strong, I decided to free roam his crickets today and he went after them, one after another after another and he normally doesnt do that, not with free roam. I cup feed him, and Ive never seen him attack a cricket within the cup yet, but today the...
Well, he's shed all he can shed but one little patch on his foot. His green does look to pop a little more, a little more vibrant. He also seems to be not so scared, this is the first time Ive seen him at the bottom of his cage....interesting
