no she hasn't laided eggs, i thought she was going to too, so i put a bin and made a area in the cage where she could. but no dice. i havent seen any recent poo, last one i saw was maybe 2 days ago.
hmm, not the bulb is a mercury on. no compact flo.s
hmm is there anything i can be feeding them, ? like veggie wise? i dont think she will eat a cricket any time soon.
ok the supplement is zoo meds, calcium with vit D3, phosphorus free.

* Cage Type - metal mesh cage, 12x18x18
* Lighting - hmm sun glow bulb at 15 inches away and a regular 60 watt for basking. light go on around 8 and off at 8

ok.... recently about in the last 4 days my cham isnt the same. about 5-6 days ago i noticed a big drop in eating, he went from 10 1inch crickets to maybe 4 , he ended up shedding and it was all...
well i mounted the blub 14 inches away from the enclosure and add another 2 where the Cham basking spot is. iam getting a temp of 78-81 (that is with a cold and rainy day today)if it was sunny and during summer time i dont see a problem hitting 81-85 in the basking spot
Grizz that is a...
so my best bet is to hang this from my roof and about a foot and a half away from the enclosure and use a regular hear source as a basking area? dose it have to be a light or can it be a night heating element?
what are the risks that if the bulb is too close?
well the temp isnt more then 91 right now, it only gets to the 100 when the sun is beaming on windows in my room, and i solved that problem by putting up some blinds in my room, i also dont plan to breed this cham ,
iam using a analog cooking thermometer which is very accurate, i leave it...
hmm, maybe but he still has skin on from his last shed, on his legs and tail:S
i did notice a little loss in appetite , but i saw him eating the soil, of my plants, i haven't repotted the plant yet , nor i plan to, iam going to put some rocks around the soil so he cant eat it any more, also is...

thanks, i will get a reading asap, it could be a fall, i had a big plant fall over in my room last night which could of hit the cage, it is a possibility. i was told the substrate will keep the humidity up as well, but i have heard about them eating it. keep you guys updated
