hi all
just picked these beaut's up , got a young pair of the fischers and the female Rhampholeon nchisiensis, well if she aint a she its going to burst !!

The guy had several sp in stock including some hoehneli and elioti which looked really tidy, though I believe they are 'captive farmed' , as well as the fischeri and three sp of Rhampholeon.
If any forum members are interested pm me for his details , I managed to wangle 10 % discount for forum members !!

Is the supplier in the NW too?

I am up this way but have only ever seen 1 place selling CF Hoenehlii's and 1 person selling CB (but add me and Rick to that list very soon lol)

keeping them a liitle warm at the mo, up to 80 at the end of the day but they do cool off to 65 over night.
The fischeri female is gravid so didnt want her dropping too cool.They are in full open net cages and fortunately at the moment I have the time to hand mist but will be setting up an auto misting system.
Have thought of putting computer fan in 3" pipe pulling air over a ultrasonic humidifier and delivering it into the cages , wondered if any one has tried this method ?
The mist produced is very fine and collects in dropletts but you dont have the volume of water running down as from a mister or sprayer.
Any thoughts anyone ?
Pic of female also , though she is shedding and looking bit scruffy

I know someone who adapted a humidifer from argos to service three vivs. The fan in tube sounds good did the chams come from the C. House?

they came from Neil who I asked about the other day Rick , he seems very genuine.

Should of mentioned the fan would ''push" the air through , situated behind a Y joint of the pipe the fan at the straight , the humidifier at the other leg and the atomised air is sucked in the system like a syphon.

I'll just have to make and see if it works OK !!

very nice Steve, great photos too.

Wouldn't the high humidity ruin the fan motor?

Yes I remember now Steve, memory sieve etc (senility creeping in also) Laughing

Good point Scott, about the humidity and the motor.

Will be interested to see how it pans out, congrats on the new chams Steve.
