How am I doing

[Brodybreaux25]

Thanks for your help it’s good to get positive feed back instead of someone just saying I’m doing it wrong and not telling me why, my mother has a blue uvb grow light, it’s small but would that work to ad more uvb?

I hope I haven’t been coming across as a dick in my comments, wasn’t my intent if I was...

Your good, my other hobby is car stuff, that’s more what I was referring to, for that if you don’t do something how everyone else does it your just wrong, even if it’s better either for a fact or in your opinion, an example is putting a Chevy engine in a Mazda or something similar.

I’d go buy a $5 golden pothos from Lowe’s //Home Depot and be done with it...they’re in season right now...

So what’s a good way to mount the Pothos then?

Mines not mounted it’s just in a tall pot in the bottom.

I’m a noob lol but I’m curious that noone has mentioned the glass enclosure and proper air circulation? I wanted one soo bad but was advised against it so much that I ended up going for the mesh!

This is an area of disagreement amongst our community. In my opinion screened vivs are the way to go but if you set up the glass vivs correctly they will work fine too. The general concern with glass vivs is poor air circulation and trapped humidity. Both of these can be fixed by installing a cheap CPU Cooling fan on top of the screen on your viv. They are usually hooked up to a timer and only run on a preprogrammed schedule. It takes some trial and error but it can be done. I actually raise my hatchlings in a small glass Exo-Terra.

@Brodybreaux25 @andrearamirezo91 i live in Iowa I I picked glass just so I can retain heat and humidity more in the winter New Years (17-18) it was -20F outside so don’t wanna risk it, for the air flow issue I have my ceiling fan on constantly and when I’m home I open his front doors just for more air flow.

Thanks for clarifying! I’m still a little disappointed that I wasn’t able to build the glass terrarium I wanted lol, but there’s enough heat and humidity here in Miami as is and since this was my first time having a cham I didn’t want to increase the risk of complications. I did however read about the computer fans! Maybe one day I’ll be able to make it happen.

Sounds reasonable! I live in a very hot and humid place, but I did read that for cooler and dry places it could be beneficial. Lucky you

Nothing wrong with that.

In the end every situation is unique. It doesn’t matter which type you choose, each of them have their own issues that must be worked out. And that is half the fun!
