I went to feed N'kulu some crickets I bought for him yesterday and when I tapped them out a long wriggle "worm bug" fell out with them. It looks very similar to a "calci-worm" except it is longer, thinner, and black instead of white. I would post a picture but it is currently covered in...

You could also buy a Magnaturals planter. I bought a small one for my chameleon's cage and though it was larger than I imagined it would be, my pothos is thriving in it. My baby panther loves the way it's suspended and enjoys hanging out in the leaves. My cage is all screen and the planter is...

So you have TWO uvb bulbs? The linear tube light is all you need, those compacts cause eye problems. Get rid of it.

Once N'kulu is grown, I plan on getting a sambava or a nosy be..I've got my eye on the sires I want from the Kammers and am keeping my fingers crossed that sooner or later one will have a clutch :D I love Nosy Falys too though, they remind me of peppermints, but I can't find a place that has...

Have you ever free ranged him outside before? Is it an adult or a baby? An adult would be fine I would think as long as it has a place to get into some solid shade...a baby I'm not so sure. I'd be concerned about it wandering away though, are you just gonna place the cage outside? Edit...

My First Chameleon

I would go with either a Sambava or an Ambilobe. Montezuma is an amazing sire and they have his babies up right now. They also have new ambilobe sires that have babies up right now as well, go back and check their site, it's updating a lot lately.

Any pet store should have pin-heads I would think. Petco (at least here in Kansas and if you have one close to you) has two options for pin-heads, their "carry-out" cricket brand and generally in the back. Just go in and ask if they have "small" crickets, they'll either tell you yes we do, or no...

Looks like a species of Honeysuckle. Edit: Hrm, okay, well hopefully someone on here will know :)

Get rid of the waterfall and get a dripper. Waterfalls are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria.

Your picture won't load I get a "page not found" error. EDIT: Nevermind, my computer is being a dork. Is it hard or soft to the touch? I almost looks like a calcium deposit...

N'kulu will do that every once in awhile, generally right before feeding time. I think it's his "Woman, I'm hungry! I demand you cater to me at once!" face at this point. :P I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless he's black, then he might be very disturbed by something.

Agreed. I would say, total cost of everything I bought to make sure my cham would arrive and stay in perfect health was about 700 dollars, that includes feeders, live plants, and a chameleon that was from a proven breeder, not a pet store. I saved another $550 for emergencies and continue to...

Correct. If you plan on buying from a pet store such as "petco" I can already tell you it has started, if you go the "carry-out" crickets route. They use to be 3.58 about 6 months ago, they are now 4.89 a box. I always get my crickets from the back, but I did notice the steady increase in price.

Also, remember that chameleons are NOT a cheap reptile to keep, if money is an issue for you right now you might want to wait until you have enough money to properly care for it in the event of a needed vet trip or feeder hike. A misting system is also recommended for when your cham is an adult...

Glad to help :) I also bought a digital thermometer, it has served me very well with keeping my basking spot temperatures where they need to be, you can buy a dual reader that will give you the humidity AND the temperature. But so far I've done well with my individual indicators. The digital...

I made the same mistake with my panther in buying a dual hood with a compact florescent bulb. Compact bulbs have been known to cause eye problems with chams, and it's better if the uvb can penetrate the length of the cage not just concentrated in one spot. You can use the fixture you have if you...

I saw the first of this series on Animal Planet just last week and recorded them, they have quite a bit of air time to the Panther chameleon and pygmy chameleon. :) It was a lot of fun to watch them. But like what happened with Planet Earth here in the states, David was replaced as the narrator.
