    Am I getting scammed?

    So, I purchased a panther (won't mention locale) from one of the threads on this site's classifieds. I paid the seller via PayPal in January. The seller keeps pushing off the shipping date, saying that it's too cold where I am to ship now. I'm in NH, and the cham is coming from the western...

    Chameleon jungle

    Just wanted to share some pics. I'm fortunate enough to have a furnished basement all for my chams. The "jungle" is about a quarter of the room. I've never measured the dimensions of the area, but perhaps I should. Anyways, 8 fake ficus (because I can't keep live plants alive to save my life)...

    I killed another one. What am I doing wrong?

    I have the opposite of a Green Thumb. I cannot keep plants alive for the life of me. I don't water them enough, I water them too much, I don't give them enough light, I give them too much... I recently converted a furnished basement into a free-range jungle. I've been wanting to keep live...

    My purple panther

    He's not really purple, but the way the flash reflected the picture makes him look really cool. He was actually a very dark charcoal grey, almost solid black. Then he woke up and turned back into the light grey with dark grey bars that he always has. He's only 3 months, and I'm really excited...

    Don't try this at home

    Just wanted to share a cute photo. Of course, they both woke up when I turned on the light to snap this photo, but it was much cuter when they both actually had their eyes closed. These two males have been living together for a while now with no problems, since they were young and essentially...

    Heating?

    I'm no electrician, so I'm very confused... I live in an area where the trend is to "go green." It's all of a sudden taken over, like a fad. All of these energy-saving product seriously have my brain going around in circles. I don't bother with the "reptile" heating bulbs from pet stores that...

    Why bother breeding?

    I know that there are those who breed large-scale, and those who do it as a hobby. What makes you decide which male to breed with which female, or that your male is even worthy of breeding? Color? Temperament? Health? I'm sure there are just some who want to try it, or just want to make...

    Look what I figured out

    I figured out that water comes out of that bright pink thing, and that if I put my tongue to it, water will just keep coming out of it!

    RBYB (Red/Yellow) Ambilobe

    Temperament is just as important to me as color. I recently got one that's completely aggressive and un-handleable. Must ship to NH. I have 3 other ambilobes.

    Do you need windows?

    Do they need windows to be able to determine the daylight cycle outside? I have a furnished room in the basement that used to be a kids' play room. Kids are all grown up now and are never down there. Chameleon jungle?? :D But, there are absolutely no windows down there. Problem? Do...

    keeping feeders together

    Are there any feeders that can be housed together? Or must I have a different container for each species? And are crickets carnivorous, where the larger guys will eat the smaller, thus requiring them to be separated by size?

    Any crafty people?

    Anybody have any suggestions on how to turn these into hanging lights? I want to hang them from my ceiling over my free-range. I suppose I could wrap a piece of string around the fixture at both the left and right ends and tie these to the ceiling, but was hoping for a "cleaner" look. The...

    Disaster waiting to happen?

    This was a paludarium designed by Aquarium Design Group in TX. They've removed this photo from their website. It's a really neat set-up, and this company does amazing aquarium set-ups, but perhaps a chameleon wasn't the best choice as an inhabitant for this one...

    MistKing overnight?

    Do you guys leave this on throughout the night? I have been, but noticed that sometimes it tends to wake them up.

    Crushing their heads?

    Is it really recommended that superworms' heads be crushed prior to feeding them to reptiles, as they can be nasty biters?

    Zoo Med vs. Exo Terra?

    I have Arcadia T5HOs now, but I have never understood what the difference is between the two companies, particularly when it comes to the UVB bulbs. Exo Terra's Repti Glo & Zoo Med's ReptiSun What's the difference? Which is more efficient?

    Color predictions?

    I know that these guys are always changing their colors as they grow, and that they don't achieve their adult colors until about 18 months, but I was wondering if anybody might be able to give me ideas on what color he'll be when full grown. He's about 9 months now, I think - confirming age with...

    How long is dangerous?

    I was just wondering how long is too long for these guys to go without a UVB bulb. My friend is house sitting right now, and the house has a "cham with horns" (I'm assuming a Jackson?). The friend has no idea about chams. Anyways, he was concerned because the chameleon's light burned out. I...

    waste of money?

    I was just wondering what everyone's success rates have been regarding survival rate past 2 months of age, simply because that has been the youngest that I have seen these guys being sold. Obviously, even under perfect rearing conditions, there are going to be some that were not destined to...

    Are crickets a necessity?

    Do I have to feed my chams crickets? Is there a certain reason as to why they'd be more beneficial to them than other insects? I have one with a tongue injury, where he's only able to project his tongue about 1.5", and it shoots out crooked. Crickets are too fast for him, unless I rip the back...
