I think the ultratherm heaters are great I have a 65 gallon crab tank that has been the Bahamas in climate for years I definitely agree with a thermostat. All heat sources need a thermostat It’s never as cold in my garage as it is outside, but i don’t know how cold the bugs can handle...

I wish I had a greenhouse 😂 Great point though on how ambient temps affect a fogger’s temp I’m just wondering how well a chiller would work for this purpose. I was thinking about getting some ultrasonic foggers from House of Hydro and adding a small chiller I picked up years back to see how it...

Has anyone used a chiller to cool their fogger for nighttime fogging, and how well did it work? I’m wondering if this might help reach temps in the 50s at night that many montane Chams require for good overall health Probably would require a much smaller chiller than what is used on reef tanks...

I’m so sorry for your loss

I just saw a post from Chris Anderson on the Trioceros quadricornis community group on facebook that their CITES status suspending all trade for them in 2016 has been withdrawn and with proper committee review their import may occur again The folks that bred them in US are pretty much all done...

I’m sorry to hear you lost your pair. I hope your new female does well I just saw a male at a local shop. Labeled as a Jackson’s 😬 Their current housing isn’t great, but looked pretty alert and healthy. Definitely a wild caught adult. Their other Chams did not look great. I would really like...

I like the description of the environments these different occupies and how it affects their behavior and comfort this is the type of information that will be helpful to each species of Cham and ensuring their best care is provided

My night shifts are totally random Doing it on a random basis always sucks 😂 If you have a certain requirement each month, do it all at once right in the middle of the shift assignment and know that it will suck coming in and out of it as a normal human being Humans don’t tolerate this kind of...

I finally got around to looking at Mader’s book regarding temperature in infected reptiles. They note in the text to keep reptiles in the high end of their preferred temperature range during treatment of infections . It also recommends a digital, dimming, or proportional thermostat on the heat...

I’ll have to look at Mader’s textbook to see what it says about this (I know he’s not writing the whole thing, but it’s an interesting question 😁)

Yes. I protect people’s lives while masked people attack their bodies with knives 😷

I am not either. If you need a liver transplant, I am pretty good at keeping you alive while a surgeon does their thing But I’m not an immunologist or infectious disease expert, or a vet. I’m just interested in finding the best evidence and best ways to treat Chams when they’re sick ☺ Started...

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8396262/ Here’s another, maybe I beat her to this one

Not surprisingly, @kinyonga has already posted this study She’s too damn good at this stuff 😆

Interesting they said to avoid increasing temperatures

I do it for myself because I feel like crap 😂 But unless its dangerously high, yes it’s probably helping to fight the organism that’s causing the fever and it’s better to leave it alone

I’m wondering if anyone has used or uses the strategy of increasing basking and ambient temperature when they are treating infections in their reptiles. It is well established that many biological processes require a certain temperature to increase their effectiveness. Immunological processes in...

You’ve been dealing with a lot recently I’m so sorry Thank you for being here. You have made part of the world better because of your passion and effort

I don’t entirely disagree I’m not a fan of any heating source without a digital dimming controller managing basking temperatures Using one, burns are fairly unlikely I wish the T5 lamps did better with dimming/ramping up intensity better Along with plant lighting ramp up/down for a more...

Just showed up on my feed Interesting, I wonder how programmable it might be https://www.reptiliavita.com/
