An Average Day For My Chameleons And Me
This is an example of what I do and how much time I might spend on my chameleons on a fairly average day*, to provide new keepers with a very general idea of what their days could look like as chameleon owners. Most of my set-up is automatic. I will...
I was going to try and write something really good with tons of examples but I don't think I need to. In fact something shorter and to the point is probably going to be more beneficial.
Lighting is the most important thing that goes into taking a picture (in my opinion, but it probably is in...
I made a mistake when makeing my pygmys cage. instead of useing hydro balls im useing water cubes. i actually think this has a good chance of working and will be tracking my results. :)
layer1-soil
layer2-organic plant feed
layer3-2-3inches of water cubes
hypothesis- the water cubes will...
Having recently acquired 2.2 Chamaeleo africanus, I have decided I am going to keep a public blog regarding the species to possibly help and educate people who may decide to keep the species.
I will be weighing both the males and the females weekly throughout the duration of the acclimation...
It is very common for people to be misinformed about the care of chameleons by local petshops. They frequently give out wrong information that can lead to the downfall of your chameleon. Hopefully this information will help you understand the requirements and care needed to own a healthy...
December 2010: I have
Pair 1 -2, 5 month old male nosy be panther chams (directly related)
Pair 2 -2, 4 month old female Veiled chams (directly related)
Pair 3 -2, 6 month old female Veiled (directly related)
I have wondered how the infrared heat lamps differs from ceramic heat...
I conducted a heat pack test trying to push the limits to the extremes to see what the temp in the box would be.
I should have took photos (sorry) but I will try to explain the best I can what I did:
I had a 8x8x6 shipping box insulated on all sides with 3/4 inch Styrofoam . The box had one...
This is my first blog here so hopefully it gets a positive response.
I have seen a lot of cool/good pictures in these photo contests and thought "oh man, that would be a GREAT shot if only it" - had better focus, had a better background, was composed better. etc.
Having said that, if YOU...

I have a very different take on PetSmart than many other forum members. I actually work at PetSmart in the Pet Care department (don’t flay me – lol). For what it’s worth, I would like to attempt...
What a wonderful word!
I have had Lily for 3 months now. We have had our ups and downs like many new Cham owners.
She is a tough one :) Had 3 homes before I rescued her at approximately 5-7 months old. She was a lucky Cham in her moves. Everything was far from perfect but nothing...
Washed play sand is usually what's recommended to use in laying bins for gravid females, but I've preferred to use Ecoearth in the past for my veiled. She's laid in it without problem so I've always kept that in my laying bins since.
However, I've decided to start experimenting a bit with...
I really don't. People research sometimes on how to care for a pet prior to getting one. Sometimes that pet falls into your lap and you are completely unprepared. Either way you are now responsible for that creature. You accepted that responsibility the moment they crossed your threshold...
One of my male panthers is being supplemented differently from all the others. With this one male, I am using the Repashy all in one supplement alternating with a mix of StickyTongues Miner-al-O plus Rep-Cal plain calicum. This is instead of the supplementation routine I normally use (see other...
This is my monthly log of what most of my male panther chameleons ate during October 2011. One young adult male panther is on a different "repashy experiment" diet (same food, but different supplementation and gutloading routine) and a second but elderly male is getting whatever he likes...
Today i woke up to see the last male ,of my previous nosy faly batch, he is only 7 weeks old, and his colors were nothing i've ever seen before. He is just over 2 months old and he had FULL BLUE color and WHITE Barring, On top of that he has the full red spots. A female i had imported for a...
Ok. This is for new users to get information quickly. excuess my spelling erros please.
Feeding- Dubia roaches, crikets, and reptiworms can all be primary feeders. mealworms, superworms, waxowrms, silkworms, hornworms, ect are treat feeders. worms can be addicting. feeders need to be gutloaded...
To start off, ill start with the size of a small silkworm. youll need lots and lots of food. either a mulberry tree of commercial brand silkworm chow that can be bought at our sponsor mulberryfarms.com. you should have them in a container with some what ventalation and clean. i personally clean...
pretty eventless few weeks
pascal shed today, this is the second time he has shed with my. i panicked at first because he started on the eye that was previously infected, i noticed the night before that it was half open and looked irritated, so i caught him to have a closer look, but being his...
Allan very generously has given me some bug burger, water crystal stuff, and the all in one repashy supplement to try. This fits very nicely as I was already starting a little experiment due to my queer success without using preformed vitamin A.
I am going to keep my original dubia colony and...
I keep my pygs (bearded) in a terrarium. I have 2 aquariums with adults, 1 male and 2 females, and 3 regular nano terrariums where I keep hatchlings. At 2 months they are still pretty small and should definately NOT be handled. In fact, pygs shouldn't be handled at all unless absolutely...
