How old is he? Take out the dirt. If he's over, or at about 3 months I would move him to a screen cage.

The July update to the Melleri Discovery has a new photo tutorial on setting up a melleri juvenile cage indoors.

It's just one way of approaching it, but it worked for me in the past.
And for once, I'm ahead of schedule on an update!

Wasn't there a big discussion with you about glass enclosures and UVB lighting?

i picked up my two chams earlier, and from what i can tell, they're both really healthy, a male and a female. slightly dehydrated, but they look better now.
one of them has slept nicely on the top of the perch, and the other has actually fell asleep on the floor, which is odd. im not going to stress them in their new home yet, but I will check on them in the morning (its uknight time now).
They're both showing great colours and dont appear to be stressed out at all, they'be both happily wandered around their cage afew times and seem to be happy, but ive never heard of any cham falling asleep on the floor

Do you have plenty of branches for them to have separate areas to roost in if they choose to?
These are the Meller's, I am assuming.
How old are they?

Going asleep in the bottom of the cage sprawled out
is a very bad sign of dehydration.
Those mellers are young and will dehydrate easily
best to jump on the situation right away
a drop of gatoraid will help matters greatly.
they should be very active and alert on the branches
Mike (fl chams) showed me just how much they LOVE houseflies
crickets just don't turn them on enough to keep them in top shape.

ive just woke up to find the one that was on the floornow asleep on the side of the cage.
When i picked them up they looked slightly dehydrated (as i mentioned) but i did my best to counter act that.
I have to go to work now, but i will post photos when i get home, I have a 5 plants in the cage, and 2 large vines woven around different areas, there are a few seperate perches, but I could do with more, or a plant with stronger perches for them.

I'm running a high pressure Shurflo 115V pump on a 100W voltage transformer with no problems.
I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have the model number or specs with me, but I can tell you that from using the specs document I was able to calculate that at max PSI it was pulling about 70W, down to about 40W at the lowest pressure.
I know this won't be exactly the same for the MistKing pump, but if you could obtain those running specification of the pump you could work out what sort of wattage you're dealing with.
I bought my pump off eBay with no documentation, so initially I put in a 50W transformer and it burnt it out the second time I ran the pump
Lesson learned, I obtained the specs from the manufacturer, and 100W seems fine. I'm almost certain that the 300W converter will suffice for your pump.Similar threads
