Ladies First! Ladies First!

I just bought the ones from DIY that are made specifically by them for their cage. I figured I'd start with the drip tray and, depending on what my experiences were, possibly do some sort of drainage. I still only use the drip tray as I only hand spray. The cages dry between sprayings (as they should) and my chams seem to be getting enough water. I might buy some sort of misting system, but for now it's just hand spraying.

Hey Scott, can u put a link to the DIY page where u got the cage? And what will I need for two chams? (As far as cage and stuff...)

This was my original set up for both.

Oh good grief! I thought you meant do it yourself, DIY!!!

Well they are sold out of the substrate tray sizes I would need.

Any suggestions? Because I really don't know what I need to look for, as far as this goes.

Are they usually labeled as drip tray or substrate tray, or both?

Is it in fact the same thing?

That looks super nice!

I think I am going to get my grandad started on building me an outdoor one.

 

[patrickfraser]

LOL. I did do it myself. Just had to screw it together. :lol: Drip tray/substrate tray/whatever. Yeah, it's the same thing. Just something to catch any dripping water. You can fabricate something instead of buying, probably. Maybe your granddad could make something to work. That generation is awfully "crafty".

He is UNREAL, he can make anything and fix anything cars, houses, what have you.

So what would you say is a good size outdoor cage? I was told the minimum size for an adult cham was 2x2x4.

I assume it would be the same for outside?

And I suppose I am using the same guidelines for temp and humidity outside as in.

Oh also....more baby pics!!!

Very cool and cute! Congratulations

How many have hatched so far?

 

[patrickfraser]

22 and more heads popping.

 

[fleurdejoo]

Wow!!! So cool!

any deaths yet?

 

[patrickfraser]

I have a few that seem to be less active and may be having problems, but no deaths. I have seen them drink, but have yet to see them eat any of the fruit flies. Maybe they are just shy about eating or maybe it takes them a bit to work up a appetite. I am just glad to see them drink, as hydration is very important.

I have separated out 2 questionable babies. There are now 38 hatched and the first ones to hatch have started to eat. Little tongues are zapping those fruit flies like mad. It is so cute to see them eat for the first time and also a relief. :clap:
