Basic info on Misting and fogging...

This is what my 4 male panther chameleons ate during the month of August 2009. Usually they do all get offered and eat about the same amounts, but when some eat a little more or less than others, I use an average for this log. In most cases my females had roughly the same amount or a bit less...

Once at an optimal temperature...

Because I plan on acquiring several more chameleons in the near future, I decided to create bigger feeder bins in order to prepare myself for bulk purchases. Currently I use 3 bins; the first one houses crickets, the second one houses roaches and third one houses silkworms. I used two...
