excessive sleeping is a warning sign of metabolic issues.
just so you know, imo, of the most commonly recognized feeders, waxworms are the single worst thing you can feed a xanth.
higher, in fat than protein and an astronomically adverse Ca/P ratio.
ime, excesssive xanth sleeping is usually...
thermometer/hygrometer
im assuming you mean hygrometer for measuring humidity.
a hydrometer is for measuring specific gravity which isnt really applicable to cham keeping, except in certain instances of pathology.
hydrometers are sometimes used to check the specific gravity of fecal float...
micra
about the same size as a xanth neonate lol
i sure would like to know how much one of their babies weighs ?, but i dont think they even know that much about them yet. the babies must be amazingly small. jmo
clarification of magnification properties.
??? are you talking about a scope with only 500x?
generally, when viewing microscopic samples you start out at a lower x like 40-60x and then as you find concentrations of pathogens or other suspicious sightings, then you move to a higher x.
the...
my scope picks
imo the best overall range is 40-400x (up to 600x max) anything over that will be counter productive.
most common reptile pathogens can be identified at 100x or less. there are even some 100x pocket viewers that will work, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
imo...
mouth crud (not stomatitus)
getting stuff caught in the corners of their mouth is a common issue. feeding smaller feeders will usually help. when they eat larger feeders, it makes a paste that gets caught in the corners of their mouth that they are not very good at cleaning. imo it should be...
bsfl
imo, no single feeder should make up more than 40% of the overall diet regardless of what it is. that being said, bsfl, aka pheonix worms, calci worms, are one of the best single feeders you can give your cham.
a good balance of protein to fat, and one of the few feeders that actually...
if you want you can kick me your email and i'll just email them to you later tonight. also, put a crapy vid on yt, just playing around with this celestron $30 microscope lol.

pic display?
do you not see the 50x pic in post #1. thats sort of curious, because i can see the pics fine , ss can see the pics, but a couple of other people have mentioned they werent able to see my pics? anyway same pic and others available in my cf tinodera sinenis album, so you might try...
if by treated wood are you talking about the treatment that you apply?, or actual pressure treated lumber?
just to be clear actual pressure treated lumber is infused with copper chromium aresenate (cca), or some other highly toxic derivative, not good.
if you find a source for nylon coated...
lol, i"d say unlikely, more likely 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 or maybe even 4 or 5:1.
a d/s ratio of 1:10 would mean that at 20" you"d be measuring a circle over 16' in diameter, thats larger than 6 sheets of plywood. if thats the case, you would likely get more accurate measurement by having some voodoo...
imo, thats an acceptable size for an adolescent veiled. a word on home built cages. they should be designed thoughtfully. what kind of screen and coatings were you planning on using? galvanized hardware cloth is zinc coated, which could concievably lead to zinc poisoning in some circumstances...
