Same idea as chameleonfan101. I made my cage and made the floor plastic and drilled some holes in it. Underneath it is a plastic bin from walmart. I have to empty the bin like once a month haha. Well I did just get a monsoon (thank god!) so now I may have to do it a bit more. But either...

Well, I have not been on here in about six months, but wanted to do some research on ficus care cuz i am getting some brown leaves on my 8 month old ficus. So of course i have been wasting my evening browsing this place and figured that I would post a picture of our free range. This is only a...

While researching Elves's problem, I noticed that a lot of the help threads have no conclusion. So, I thought I would make sure to give mine (hopefully one).\ To start off, I think the worry over blindness was completely inaccurate. It was simply too late to try and diagnose his problem and...

I did some research and I may have figured it out. One thing that I didn't see on the "how to ask for help" form and forgot to mention was bedding. I use (and now realize that I should not have) that brick of dirt you can purchase at a reptile store. While Elvis was showering I tried rinsing...

it's not that I will not take him to a vet, but I don't want to waste the money if there is something minor or normal that I am overlooking. Thanks for the advice!

Bump for extra advice

Thanks, I will try all three tomorrow for sure.

Your Chameleon - I have a seven month old male veiled chameleon Handling - Everyother day, a couple times for about five minutes... Five minutes before putting him in his six foot tall ficus and five minutes before putting him back in his cage. Feeding - crickets gut loaded with a gut load blend...

My male Veiled opens his eyes and looks like he is saying, "What, never seen a sleeping cham before"? Then he goes back to sleep. My female just stares and like always when she is in her cage looks like she is saying, "please don't kill me, please don't kill me"... She is so timid, it drives...

I like this answer. Op, I bet if u try really hard, you could manage to get your hands on one, just bs prepared to pay a pretty penny for it... Or whatever they use in Australia. ... Don't mambas live in Australia though? I hear they make great pets!

I think this can go either way. I'm sure it depends on a number of factors. Using myself as an example, when I was younger and made little money, I was very concious of price as a dollar amount... If I were to see two chameleons that both appeared similar and relatively healthy, I would...

It absolutely works! I have a DIY enclosure for my female and I made three holes for lights; uvb, heat and plant. After feeling the heat from the plant bulb thought, I scrapped the third light idea... too bad they are not as cheap as regular bulbs. Oh, and they do work. I have a Pothos in...

I have two suggestions. 1) Keep looking for a Ficus. I wouldn't believe them about the "too hot to ship" bit. Until this week, it has been about 100 for the last month here too, and we have definitely received shipments at our big box hardware stores. It took going to a few stores a few...

Yeah, it is pretty amazing how well these guys can hide. Now granted my female veiled is small, but I've lost her in the single 6' ficus for over ten minutes, which I feel is q long time when u KNOW that your Cham is righty ere in front if your face... I cant imagine how hard it would be to find...

Ah, thx for the idea! My veileds HATE cold water, but w warm water, the female tries to drink it as I mist her, and the male climbs the screen and places his head right against the top of the cage under where I'm misting and just closes his eyes. I'm researching the automated route, And...

Op means "original post". It most often refers to the first post of the thread, but doesn't have to. Oh, and i could tell that you were just telling a story... I'm just shooting the s$!t w you... If it was serious thread I wouldn't comment unless I had something important to contribute...

Oh yeah @axaraxia, forgot about the leopards and cresteds, they definitely filled in the gaps. Better breakdown: Ball pythons 70% beardeds 15% leopards 5% cresteds 5% other 5%... 4% spiders

Haha, I am totally a door mat! But I'm totally cool w that. I think a lot more guys are than will admit. Snakes, yeah, I like lizards and especially chams more... Chams are my favorite animals in the world, but I do like the tranquillity of most snakes. They are usually just so docile and...

Ah, reptile show in stl today too... It's like 90% Ball Pythons, 8% Bearded Dragons and 2% other. There were 3 Adult panther's which were not for sale... It was the first time I saw a Nosy By in person, and it really might have swayed my mind from something unique to panther Chameleon for...
