right i was thinking about that as well. i live in california and there are loads and loads of black widow spiders. as a matter of fact the one i caught in my jar, i found under my doorstop, and the two months that ive had her, she's laid over 5 sacs of eggs... also i was concerned about bees...
now i know there are alot of risks to outdoor enclosures such as introducing unwanted insects to the neighborhood such as roaches and such. outside predators is something i am concerned with. but i want to go over this thoroughly so i can catch some things i havent thought of yet. so i hope...
hmm i am pretty positive that he's not a year old because i have seen one year olds an they are alot bigger and have much higher casques. when i first got him off a guy on craigslist, he told me the cham was already almost a year old (the 2nd picture). and after asking around on the forum i was...
well i just got my gold capella, or the umbrella plant without the yellow tinge in the middle of the leaves. i hope the direct sunlight isnt going to kill my plants.
the second picture is basically the same week i got him. i mean i gutload with cricket crack, the calcium fortified water gels, and romaine lettuce and sometimes the small red carrots kids eat. but honestly, i dont even know the crickets eat em or not. i saw that you were supposed to isolate the...
but if i put mantis or other small things in there wouldnt my cham just eat them? and my enclosure mesh has slightly bigger holes than the standard mesh cage you would buy from...say diy or zoo med
im wondering if anyone can give me an estimate of how old my cham might be. the first pic was taken today on 7/30/2012. the second picture was taken 5/6/2012. if i could get an estimate of how old he is, i can then know what kind of changes i should make for his feeding and powdering and temp.
i am thinking of making my large outdoor enclosure with basically an umbrella plant forest with pothos along the floor and sides. but i read up on umbrella plants and they said that they can get alot of mites or other bugs on them, and the solution was to spray pesticide. so i wanted to know if...
is anyone in the fremont california area capable of babysitting my cham for a few days. from tomorrow to saturday night. i will pay $100 plus supply the crickets and other needed supplies. i am out of options as no one can take care of it. please let me know ASAP!!!!
the new outdoor cage is going to be put in the new house that i will be moving in. but the new house is under remodeling at the moment. plus i wont put any animals in the cage until everything is done growing and set up correctly. but you're right maybe i should put like a tarp in the middle...
ehh i know. i was thinking of changing my sides into plexiglass. but oh well mine isnt a repti whatever mister. its just a 30 dollar room humidifier i got from walmart.
daaaaaamn. so i left it on for a couple of hours today, say around 3-4 hours. and i checked the humidity on my meter and it almost peaked to 80 percent. INSIDE THE CAGE. sure is hot in there...as if the house isnt hot enough already. and i also realized that all my posters on the wall are all...
Yeah there is already a mesh wall in the middle so they cant kill each other. And then im gonna pothos it so they wont see each other. Gonna be so sick
yeah i keep the unit in the room near my cham cage so that area can be more humid. i dont have a large room so its all good. plus, feels like a spa in here damn. so the heated mister, i have to clean that regularly as well?
so the ultrasonic cool mist produces, cold mist? i looked up some products and was said you had to use distilled water. but yeah uhh i have the hot steam humidifier that i got from walmart. its alright if i close the window but if i leave the window even a little bit open, the humidifier doesnt...
