Dont put to many locust in though, otherwise it will be eaten by the end of the day. Locust love these plants |

Shelby i use a 10% UV in my flex fixed to the top with cable ties, basking light is a 100 watt halogen on a dimmer that is placed above the mesh outside.
My preference would be to keep male and female seperate, but some do keep them together if the viv is big enough and extremely well planted, the debate on keeping chams together is a very long one, and there are lots of posts on here discussing that very issue. Have a peruse at the cham section good luck bet he loves his new home  _________________

Just bought some from Home Base and being 12 inches tall and only £2.99 thought they were good value for money.
Don't know what the checkout girl thought when i bought 8 of these,but i intend to keep them growing until the Viv ones need replacing. |
