You know you’re a chammer when you need two large Milwaukee PackOut organizers just for your mistking fittings!

You’re doing a great job. Just continue to get to know your Cham and his/her habits, normal behavior, and routines.

There is a lot of disagreement about how much orange is ok vs how much is not. My approach is always to use an integrated approach—monitoring urates, and behavior. Running a test misting every so often can be helpful.

Not Cham-related, but Strung Out is working on a new album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s been a while since I did a husbandry review, but bear with me…

Fingers crossed for you, bud!

If I remember correctly @nightanole had the genius idea to add an extra misting nozzle to a small reservoir above the cage. The reservoir is dotted with a drip line. This way, when ever it mists, it adds water to the reservoir, which subsequently drips on whichever plants you run a drip line to.

With folks springing for solarmeters left, right and center, it’s worthwhile considering a considerably cheaper Par meter for our foliar friends. I have found that a decent light meter for measuring PAR is as useful for our plants, as the solar meter is for our chams.

This is a proud moment from Canadian history:

For larger, more natural ponds—where epdm would be too expensive/not practical—montmorilite clay powder is applied to the excavated area. Once water is added, the clay forms a watertight barrier. It’s a favourite practice of cattle farmers for watering dug-outs.

Thanks, Jeremy! I trust pics will follow…

Larva of some kind of Dermestid beetle. They are good additions to many bug colonies, as they eat/decompose/recycle dead insects.

There are a ton of very reputable panther peeps around.

There is some lively and thought provoking discussion about this topic. I highly recommend looking into the various facets of chameleon hydration. Warning: it can be a bit of a quagmire! But the evidence and data on all sides are well worth learning.

You thinking liner, or clay?

Thanks, J! How’s your flock?

Congrats, Bob!
