I'm guilty of this too! Anytime I see a free tank I scoop it up, I have quite a few in my basement now "just in case" I see something I want or have to separate anyone (I have 3 leos housed together, two pairs of cresteds, 1 lonely leo). I vote for crested geckos!

I don't think you're in left field but I think it would be an extremely difficult study without having the chams with you personally (or in another tightly controlled environment). OldChamKeeper mentioned if the lights were contributing that we would see more instances of MBD. However, there...

The DIY cage you posted looks exactly the same as mine, but mine is from NRS. My guy just loves it. I used zip ties to hang plastic chain from the top, his hibiscus tree is in the middle and I have bamboo going around the tree that's supported by the chain. He has a couple of real plants...

Thanks for your input, please let me know if you have problems with it. I have never seen my cham drink but he is not showing any signs of dehydration and his poops are good, he's most likely drinking when I'm not looking at him or getting the majority of water from his food. He will not use...

Thanks everyone! I'll go through the list of vendors and email a few to see if they'll have them there. If so, I'll see if I can get one to hold one for me or possibly prepay and just pick up there. I'm not going to the expo specifically for a misting system, so no worries on that. I'm...

Thanks! I didn't realize that. It looks like a couple of the distributors are going to be at the expo, I think that's going to be the best place to get it, otherwise I can order it from MrHerp.ca The SO and I may be taking a day trip this weekend, not sure which way we're going to go but if...

I can order what looks to be the Mist King from Mr. Herp but they are going to be at the expo, so I might as well wait until then if that's what I'm going to go with. I don't want to order off their (MistKing) site because they ship UPS, I may contact them to see if they use anyone else. I'm...

I need some expert input! I need to get a mister or fogger to help with the humidity in my cham's enclosure. The three that I have to choose from locally are ZooMed's HabbaMist, ZooMed's ReptiFogger or ExoTerra's Monsoon. I've read mixed reviews on all and read some bad things about the Monsoon...

We do have wild crickets here that I could try to catch but I buy mine. I meant catch as in catch in the little container that I keep them in :) They're fast little buggers and I don't have a proper cricket keeper, I just use one of those small plastic containers. I've been thinking about...

I swear every time I read something it's different than what I've read before. I'm in Canada so my access to feeders is a bit limited compared to those in the US - I can't get any type of roaches. Here's what I can get locally - crickets (pretty much any size), mealworms, superworms...

Thanks for the input everyone! He (the chameleon) is around 1 year old. He eats well, is healthy, no MDB, is active, and handles stress well/doesn't stress easily. I'm going to start reading up in case we decide to pursue this!

This is probably going to be long, for that I apologize. We just got our first chameleon just over a week ago. I had wanted one since I was a young teenager but due to family rules ("the only pets that can have a tail in this house are the dog and cats!") I wasn't able to get one. I briefly...

We're lucky in that regard that we live right downtown so not very many large birds here. A few smaller ones stopped a few feet away from us to see what was going on but nothing came close. I was sitting on the ground right beside the little tree and watching him like a hawk (bad pun! lol)...

I've been lurking for awhile, then joined but didn't post anything. Now that I've had my chameleon for about a week, I thought I'd pop in and say hi. I've wanted a chameleon for quite a few years. When I lived at home, we had a no lizards rule, then I moved for college and was intimidated by...
