The nylon rope should be removed. I would add more branches to get around in the enclosure. Your plants may start to die off because you do not have plant lighting.

Many more horizontal branches of varied widths. Make more little roads for your cham to travel on. Take out the plastic plants. Get a pothos instead and have it grow around the branches.

Feed her 3 super worms a day. Why Superworms? These are high in fat.
I use calcium without d3 everyday . What other supplements do you have? Should be using a calcium with D3 and a multivitamin
Mist 2 times a day for around 2 minutes and leave a dropper on for the day remove it at night she does drink

since everywhere around me is out of everything and i hate crickets they stink and die too fast and i dont got money to order bugs there like 15 dollar shipping lol and dubias are just too expensive for me i will get the calcium d3 and multivitamins what do u recommend and
i will lower her basking branch
she has been a little anxious going up and down and ive seen her in the morning before her lights go on at her lay box im not sure but i think she maybe is preggo i cant feel eggs she still eats tho should i start to cover her enclosure
Ok well then you need to go back to feeding crickets. She can not just be fed superworms. It is not healthy for her to have such a fatty bug. Also these do not gutload the same as a dubia or cricket will.
Order reptivite with D3 and give it two times a month on the 1st and 15th.
Before you lower the basking branch... What is the distance now? You need a 11-12 inch distance with a 10.0 UVB bulb as well.

Have you thought of breeding your own roaches, or as they are known to more delicate family members, ’fancy beetles’?

8 inches below she dosent like crickets i used too give them to her and it was just a no go
DeadFxce
Member
i have thought about one but not sure
Is that for the UVB as well? If so this is too close for a 10.0 bulb. 8 inches is what you would use for a 5.0 bulb. You need to raise the fixture up 3 inches or drop the branch 3 more inches. So it is no closer then 11 inches from the branch.

To anyone that dosent know, my mom figured out they werent "fancy beetles" and killed the colony.
