Joe: If you poke a tiny hole in the bottom of a plastic bottle, fill it up with water and put the cap on tight, it won't leak any water if the bottle is just sitting undisturbed. Any water that comes out of the bottom has to be replaced by air coming in from the top. By loosening the cap, I...

It definitely helps! I'm glad you mentioned it, b/c I've seen Shammy do that several times during misting. I wasn't sure what he was doing. I can see now (no pun intended) that I need to keep misting him even though I thought I was giving him plenty of water through other means. I wish...

That's what I wanted to know. I assumed since the leaves were always wet, that he would naturally know to drink when he needed hydration. It's not a matter of doing what I want, I'm trying to do what's best for him. As stated in my original post, I'm still in the infancy stage of learning...

Shammy kind of gives me the same response. I quit misting him directly when I read somewhere that said not to do it. He's my first cham and I've only had him for 2 weeks, so I'm still learning to read his body language and signs. But if it's ok, I guess I'll go back to that. He *seems* to...

I know I'm not suppposed to spray him directly...but when I mist, should he be wet when I'm through?

is the misting used to provide a spike in humidity?

OK, so I should only use the humidifier (mine's an ultrasonic as well) during the day when the basking lamp is on. I guess what I'm not getting is this...if the humidity is controled by the humidifier, and the cham is getting his drinking water from the dripper, then what does the misting...

He's an ambilobe panther. Forgot to put that, lol. I know they only drink from leaves, but I thought the drip system would take care of most of that. If the drip system is keeping the leaves wet enough for him to drink off of, then I shouldn't need to mist as often, since I am using the...

Here's the scenario: I have a humidifier sitting outside the enclosure at the bottom. I still have to get a gauge for the temp and the humidity. Will the humidifier drop the temp of the enclosure? I upped the heat bulb to a 100 watt and he responded nicely with a healthier appetite. I...

Thanks guys! Sandra---I'm looking into making a dripper like you showed in your link. How much water should it hold, and how long should it drip until it runs dry? I'm only feeding superworms right now, I have some phoenix worms on order from a friend of mine. Another owner told me that...

Thanks guys! I wanted to show him off, but I also wanted you guys to see him so you could tell me if anything was wrong or if it was all good. I've seen other posts where some people said the cham in question looked dehydrated and I'm not completely sure what I was supposed to be looking at...

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone, I'm sure I'll have questions as time passes. I just picked up my first cham, he's a blue bar ambilobe and I was told he is one of Yoda's offspring. Thought I'd share some pics and welcome any advice. I've had iguanas before, but chams are different so...
