thanks for your replys.
its going in his new flexarium when it arrives we have had to get the a large flex to get the plant in it only cost 12.50 i thought this was a bargin.
any tricks to keep these healthy as i do not have green fingers.
what lights do use in your flex and how are they located and tips for setting up the inside.this is giong to be his forever home and i want it to be perfect.
i have a small female yeman whos going into his old tank when she is mature enough can she go in with him i want to pair them up for breeding but can she live in their permently. |

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. |
