Yeah, good riddance to that social life. It only caused drama anyways!

add a big stack of cash and it's DONE

 

[cham_urchin]

(oh, and a big jar of Flukers orange cubes)

Ok forum, what are some supplies you bought when you were newbies and quickly realized you had it all wrong?

Phrase it like this:
Newbies please get rid of your——— and replace it with ——.

I’ll start.
Newbies please get rid of your chameleon fountains and get a misting system.

Here’s a photo of Betty looking around like wtf at the chameleon fountain I got when I first brought her home.

Noobs get rid of your "basking temp gauge" and replace it with a temp gun. Temp gauges never worked for getting my basking temp.

Ok I made the changes.
Here is the update, including the stack of cash, orange cubes, sticker thermometer. The green leafy thing is the chameleon waterfall I bought, which I am still trying to figure out how to repurpose. It may become a zen corner on my desk...

I bought the chameleon kit, yes, I did. Also bought 2 different misters before I switched to the Mistking. Wasted money... all of it.

Anyone buy the wrong supplements?

I bought all the supplements. OK, not ALL but more than I need! I bought Sticky Tongue Farms Miner-all indoor and outdoor, Repashy calcium plus, Repashy calcium plus LoD, Reptivite, Heptivite, Vitamin A gel caps, and Rep Cal.

 

[Rst_Cham]

I also bought analog thermometers. Ugh. I now run everything on thermostats, even some of the bug bins.

Is there a cloud being thrown into the trash???

 

[Decadancin]

I am pleased to see that the first post here wasn't "I got the Monsoon Misting System..."

Perhaps the word is finally out for enough to see .

By the way, that would be mine! Go MistKing!!!

First day home. Every single thing I did was wrong on day 1. Day 2 I found CF and had to fix everything. Literally, everything but the chameleon.

 

[AmandaS]

Sooo "noobs, ditch everything you just bought and fix it ALL."

 

[Daesie11]

Anyone buy the wrong supplements?

I bought the repashy LoD as well as a calcium w/o D and a multivitamin, only to find I can just use the repashy LoD on every meal. Now I have 2 things of supplements just sitting in my fridge hoping that I'll eventually have a use for them and now have wasted a ton of money on them (they arent cheap!)

 

[AmandaS]

I thought I was sooo educated after leaving petco..... ....they gave me so much info my head was spinning. But none of it was right.

 

[Tony_S]

I haven't made any mistakes yet since I'm just now buying stuff. But when I do, I'm blaming all you guys/gals for steering me wrong

I bought three of the same uv lights, I thought they were not working, but it turned out it was the dome, something was fried, like myself, yo healing powers over me. hahah g

Well there's a second mistake. Dome lights are not acceptable for UVB....
