Could I use a UVB tube lamp?
I have a spare tube light fixture that was from Chams old cage. I can get a UVB tube light for it plus the red light for her tank for heat.
Would that work?
Okay thanks!
What size red bulb do you use or would you use for a 20 gal tank to maintain heat from above?
Heat pad is plugged in right now and she is back to her hide hole that is over it. The only incandescent bulbs I have on hand are HOT ones from my cham or beardie so she will just have to...
Ok, one of my daycare families offered me their leopard gecko because son doesn't care for it, etc. GREAT!
Had beardies, chams and anoles in the past...love lizards/reptiles so sure bring it!Never had a gecko.
He dropped it off today. :mad:
I have read online about care, several spots.
He has...
Thanks everyone!
I was livid when I saw the ad and talked hubby into letting me get him!
It was all I could do not to punch her in the face but I had my son with me....
I figure I quadrupled his living space.... we had donated all our old chams stuff to a rescue after she passed away.....so...
Sorry....love Tangled and we HAD to change his name since he is in a new home, new cage, new life!
Anyone following my thread over in enclosures, knows a bit about what I am talking about! https://www.chameleonforums.com/can-cage-size-stunt-growth-male-veiled-81445/
Those that do not...
Oh and thinking of re-using his crap cage for the anoles. They are in 10 gal. right now and happy and now that they have gained some weight and are thriving...they could handle the extra area to roam but this would double their space and give them more arboreal area and I could get more plants...
Yep, he doesnt seem out of proportion....just small overall compared to some of the pics of male veiled I have seen on here....
And if you look at the pic of him, you can see burn scar on his back...his spine spikes(not idea what they are really called)...there is a decent flat section right...
This is what he came in....the stupid 10 gal aquarium with a cage top and you can see the screen they wrapped around it. You can barely see him, I have no clue how he can see out. We just have the heat lamp jury rigged right now and his UVB light is removed to we can attach to new cage.
His...
I will get photos of him later.
I have been looking for a new veiled and knew I wanted a male this time around....
When his ad popped up on our local CL.... oh he was coming with me! I was mad when I read the ad and saw the pics. I was even madder when I picked him up, though I smiled nicely...
I adopted aka rescued a 1.5 yr old male veiled yesterday.
He will be moving to his new, PROPER cage today.....
He has been living in one of those 10 gal. aquariums with the 10 gal. screen top..like this only no ramps and the screening is smaller...
Anyone have them? Need some input!
We had them in the house(wild and free ranging) when we lived in FL. and have wanted to get them here as pets in OR.
I found some on craigslist for free this past weekend and talked DH into letting me have them.
Well, even if I wasnt sure before....once I...
Thanks!
She gets misted daily by hand. Hubby was thinking of getting her a auto mister but I am home all day, every day as I work from home so that seems a bit silly to me.
I will show that to hubby. He has to install a solar tube on our roof this Spring anyways where our old woodstove flue...
Ok, we live in Portland, OR. The great, DAMP Pacific Northwest and in an old house to boot. And have had a particularly rainy year........
Last year in Jan.(before cham) we bought a dehumidifier for house to reduce moisture during winter months because we have areas that do not leak but get...
LOL!
Mine were doing that too! 3 yesterday! I figured out that the library books I set on top of Cricket Keeper actually opened the little circle flaps a bit and I assume they were escaping that way. Took the books off, closed the flaps and no more free roaming crickets!
I think she is at it again.....
Ok, its been 3.5 months since I posted this thread and I think Karma is at it again, despite us following all advice on here. She gets fed less and we are controlling her temps, etc.
Noticed yesterday that she started wandering all over cage again.......
Last...
Thanks!
Ideally, I would love to have hubby make one that fits the space we have her small tank in. But, not sure that would work. There is plenty of room to grow and fit a larger tank there.
I checked CL today and only 40 gal. breeder is with a bearded dragon and we do not want, need nor...
Thanks!
I figured we had about enough time to get thru the holidays we before we had to invest in a new cage for her.
I am hoping to push it to tax refund time, but will keep my eye out between now and then.
Thanks for the site!
We bought my son(age 12) a bearded dragon. We have had Norberta about 6 weeks now.
She was a baby but boy is she growing!
She is housed in a 20 gallon long tank right now.
We have read several books cover to cover on proper care for her.
My question right now is:
When should we upgrade...
