    overfeeding

    Hi Pedro, I am by no means an expert here, but it's late and no one seems to be online, so i'll tell you what I know.... I guess firstly you shouldn't feed a young cham mealworms yet, maybe a small soft one a couple of times a week max as a treat, as they can cause compaction What size...

    Showering Question for the novice..me!

    I guess if that works for you flip and it keeps up the humidity, all's fine! You get to save water.... My guy takes nearly that long for the drinking response to trigger, personally I would prefer to spray for less. When it hits summer here, I intend to mist more often during the day and was...

    drainage on 260 flex

    I have a flexarium with flextray and have the enclosure mounted on a timber base,(pic 1). I have cut a small slice in the plastic and flexarium and poked a nozzle type hose fitting which I have adapted so that it is flush finishing at the top, (see pic) which then enables the water to drain to...

    Pro Mist 50 Question

    Hi lonomac , I have just set up a PM60 literally 2 days ago and had the same problem... What I found to be the cause of this was the INLET pipe ie reserviour to pump was not cut PERFECTLY square at the end as well as not being FULLY inserted into the pump inlet. I had to use quite a bit of...

    D.I.Y. Rock Backdrops

    Hi, Here is rock backdrop in one of my morelia enclosures. It is made with expanding foam (don't know what you call it in the US), then cut and sanded to shape. You then apply a latex sealer, followed by spraying with paint and literally throwing different colours of oxide onto it, the...

    Best Uvb Source For Veiled Chams??

    Well I actually did for the ficus, but i'm all for aesthetics and I didn't like to have all three plants jacked up to make them higher. I managed to cover the raised base of the ficus with some fake exo terra ficus but I didn't have enough for 2 more ie hibiscus and umbrella... I know very anal...

    Best Uvb Source For Veiled Chams??

    The thread was with the welfare of the cham as a priority of course!!! It was related to the UVB requirements of the veiled chameleon and was a MV better or a necessity over a 5% flouro, sorry if I did not explain myself a tad better. Plants in the enclosure are secondary, although also...

    Best Uvb Source For Veiled Chams??

    My minds made up, i'll stick to the flouro's for now. I thought MV would be too full-on for a small cham! Mathew thanks heaps for the reply, I should have explained the reason for my concern with no light reaching the bottom of the enclosure. It was more for the benefit of the smaller plants...

    Is he healthy?

    Hey, My little veiled had the same thing, although it was on his belly. Look in my gallery, when popeye was 1 week old, you can see it just in front of his back leg! I just removed it as it was something stuck, atleast that's what I thought. It was hard, rock like, but once removed it was...
