Well, I've held on and have done good, but its come to that time of the year where we should all enjoy but some of us dread. Holidays (and on top of that 3 birthdays).
Waldo, thankfully is happy and healthy, a lot more calm then I expected, but unfortunately, quite hungry on some days...
Well. I used to go through photobucket. Upload there, then copy the [IMG]link and post. Now I attach them, the little paperclip icon when you reply to the post. I like the attachments better because if you click the picture, it will bring it up in the separate screen and you can enlarge it...

BATH TIME
....he waits before his Aquazamp shower, gets a good spray to wash his eyes and about halfway through the shower, turns....to what appears to be...washing his butt!?!?
So, my attempt at a extreme gradual increase and decrease in temperature, as it would normally in the real environment, sounded good. With my basking light ramping up from 0% to 98% over a course of 2 1/2 hours, steady at 98% for 5 hours, then ramping down the same, youd think the temperature...
I mounted the sides. 6 screws and a border of silicone around the edge. the Back peice split in two after i scored it and tried to break it into my measured length. So the back of the enclosure is still screen covered with a clear vinyl shower curtain.
Its not really plexi-glass, i guess...
that reflection was my big concern as well, that and the ventilation. I'm sure there is adequate ventilation, 3 open sides (top bottom and front).
I closely watched him yesterday as he was right next to a side, actually putting his feet to it hoping it was climbable. I could see his...
The ecozone vivarium controller has an input option for a strobe light to simulate lightning. Not sure its meant for the chameleons but maybe other reptiles. I always wondered the same though...just didnt want to see a flashing strobe light in the middle of the night in my living room lol
wow, okay, so this morning, after a 10 minute morning mist that would usually bump my humidity to about 47% with vinyl shower curtains on the side
now bumped my humidity to 95% with two sides of the cage having the acrylic sheets on the sides.
So....how can I reduce humidity? haha. it...
accrylic is no joke, split my back piece in two trying to cut it with one of those scoring blades. Will have to go back to the store tomorrow to get another (23$ wasted)
i do have my sides up though and it looks nice.
Need to get working on the dowels no, not really sure the best way to...
1/2" is the thickest I believe. I'm thinking i should have gone thicker for the plant hanging ones. I pretty much just put some pressure on them to see what kind of give they would have with weight and it didnt do much bending...probably not the best way to gauge strength..lol
well, I went to HomeDepot, decided on larger acrylic sheeting rather then smaller polycarbonate sheeting. It was cheaper and didnt require my atempt at joining two pieces together to farm one large one, just have to trim to size.
Hoping I can put a screw through it without it cracking to...
well, most of what I see online is in the 200+$ range for the size I need, 21.5"x47.25" sides and 30.75"x47.25" back. Buying 6 of those smaller Lexan polycarbonate sheets would save me a lot more money then buying 3 of the bigger ones. Just need to combine two of them to make one big one and...
So, after months and months of building and heavy expenses; everything from supplies to tools needed (I had nothing, no saw, no hammer, no anything!)
I've decided my DIY cage needs an overhaul and here is why:
My humidity levels are at a constant low (less then 40% majority of the day)
I fear...
likely have the same problem as i with the updater software. my laptop was missing an active x client that was included in many laptops with certain software. i had to go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms968493.aspx, download and run to get the updater software to run on my laptop.
This is what I will be doing tomorrow. My hibiscus and draem...? something have managed to die. thats with watering and trips outside in the sunlight. Heck, I'm even managing to kill a Ficus. So I think I may do a nice group of pothos, both hanging and floorstanding. Saw a website that had...
