hows my cham & viv looking?

[foxymiche]

hi all,

Ive had my veiled cham now for 4 months and he is about 7 months old.

He used to come out on my hand but he HATES it now and is a right victor meldrew! As long as you dont touch him he doesnt mind you poking around in his viv.

I have just bought him another plant after he delecately pruned all the leaves off his hibiscus, think it looks like a mini jungle!

He is mid-shed at the moment.

Any suggestions on how to better his viv would be welcomed, im always looking at new things to add.

At the bottom i have newspaper so no substrate and i made the viv myself (very proud of it! lol)



Thanks for looking

Looks really good nice work as long as you have your bask bulb and uvb tube your good to go

Nice set up! As said about make sure to have the basking and UVB lights.

that looks really nice. i didn't know you could have an open top set-up like that. is there a need to worry about escape with something like that? i've always wanted to try it, but have been hesitant.

i think he open the door for taking better photographs.

in a gist, yes, he will escape.

looks a bit open.... I would try hanging a pothos or some fake plants from the top of the cage along the sides.

Can you take some pics of the lighting?

Over all, looks good.

i cant get pics of the lighting as my cameras rubbish and you just get a load of glair!
the uvb is a 10% tube and is hanging at the top at the back and the basking bulb is actually sat on top of the enclosure and is a 60w household bulb shining through the netting.
going to try and get some vines or something else for the top as i agree its a bit bare.

Overall not bad.

If your cham can get within 8" of the lamp he'll be fine. 10.0 is a bit high but if he has plants to find shade, he'll do alright.
