Hi guys! So I got my Cham a week ago today, he's a seven month male veiled from Northwest Chameleons. He absolutely refuses to eat crickets and only ate one dubia( which is a shame because I spent the last six months building up a large breeder colony of roaches for him). He loves moths but...

Great! Thank you so much for the help.

Thanx for the replies guys, my cage is four feet tall. Rush2112, so it sounds like you don't really have a huge ambient temp drop at night, if I'm understanding correctly? I kept hearing that you needed at least a 10 degree night drop but I just got an air conditioner installed in that room and...

Hi guys! So I have been trying to get my temps correct in my new "reptile room" out in my shop. It's very well insulated and now has both heat and AC. So I set up the cage and basking light and the temps are as follows: 91 at the basking spot, 78 ambient temp in the daytime, 72 ambient temp at...

Hello! I am in the process of setting up a chameleon cage after a few years out of the hobby. I have everything set up as I believe it should be but the dome clamp light for basking on top gets very hot on the metal dome and ceramic end. Is this normal? When I had reptiles a few years back I...

Wow! Thanx for the great info guys! Sounds like maintaining heat might not be a huge issue after all. I'm still a little concerned about the lack ventilation issue leading to air stagnation though. Should I just open the door for a while to circulate air and deal with the cool down that comes...

Hi guys, I really want to get a chameleon again(had one about 10 years ago and loved him!) but the wife absolutely refuses to have one in the house. So....I have a detached shop in the back with a well insulated room built in the back that I was thinking of turning into a reptile room. It's only...
