Final setup for male and female

[twatts704]

I wanted to post pictures of my final setup for my male and female panther chams. My male is an 8 month Ambanja from Jon Rich and my female is an 8 month old Ambilobe from Suzi which will be here tomorrow

Both cages are 2x2x4 reptibreeze cages. I have them sitting on some tanks that I don't use anymore. My males cage has an umbrella plant, ficus plant, and a golden pothos that is hanging from the top right corner of the cage.

My females cage has 2 golden pothos plants hanging in the top left and right corners of the cage (back) and a ficus plant in the front along with a laying bin for my female, as she is gravid with infertile eggs.

They both have a 48" long tube going across the top of both of the cages. My female has a 100watt MV bulb as well. My male has a basking bulb (Watt?) And a 5.0 uvb coil bulb 30watt (I believe) the temps on both cages are spot on!

The only thing I did not have time for is my misting system which I am skepticle about even using since I have been told that this product is nothing but bad (Habba Mist) I think I will just stick to manually spraying for now.

I hope you all enjoy the pictures and look forward to showing you their process over the next few months

My males name is Azriel and my female is still undecided (any help with the name?)

Oh and last thing, I do have a divider so they can't see each other. Hope you all enjoy

Great job on your set ups. I would just recommend adding more horizontal branched and vines. Also I'm not to fond of the MV bulbs on cages. They put off allot of heat. Way to much for a female. I have a blog attached for you about females and egg laying. Be sure to read Lynda Horgan's link in my blog about the female. I keep mine the same way that Lynda does.

Jann rules. Her blog is great advise to anybody.

I personally would increase the temperature gradient by reducing the height of the pot. You loose a lot of valuable space for the Cham to cool down by such a tall pot. if you want to stay more flexible with a removable planter, I would cut the pot by half and (tropical plants rely more on water than on soil).

Thanks for the replies, I am taking them into account and will remedy them shortly. I also took a peak at some of your other blogs too Jann and will be removing the MVB and just using a household bulb

I like the setup very nicely done!

I do not like mv lights MV Low Down

One of my resources is Anapsid.org and I find it pretty informative.
