    sheding

    Depends a bit on growth rate, but generall mine (a 5 month panther) is shedding every other week. Shedding seems to be very quick, and is usually over in less than a day... normally the only clue I have that a shed has occured is a few bits of old skin on the floor. Last shed the I could...

    Hi Im new and looking for some advice

    I would avoid a glass enclosure as it stresses Chams a lot.... Have a look at www.surreypetsupplies.com for some of the best prices in the UK. Probably best to buy the equipement you need seperately, but essentially you will need 1x viv (the 4x2x2 Reptibreeze is a ggod size for one...

    Chameleon Pet Insurance

    I know that here in the UK, the only insurer offering this is Exotics Direct, and the exclusions on the policy are rather significant: 1. Does not cover Egg binding or any other reproductive issues 2. Does not cover fight injuries (i.e. from mating introductions) 3. Very high excesses...

    CFL Question

    I suppose you could try those LED cluster bulbs (sold as "low energy" halogen down lighter replacements - in reality they are much dimmer and useless for down lighting, but could be perfect for you) Otherwise, have a look at the "daylight" bulbs sold for acquariums But all lights will give...

    Why?

    So we know that the myth that Chameleons change colour to blend in to their surroundings is a bit off.... However, I can't understand why my Panther turns White at night... making him stand out a mile... normally it takes me afew minutes in the day to spot him in his viv (he's still small)...

    Sick of Reptile Equipment?

    Temps - How to keep them down

    Temps - How to keep them down

    Over here in the UK we are about to have the hottest weekend of the year so far (not very hot 22C ish) and I've noticed that over the last few days the spot lights on my vivs are being dimmed a lot more than they were... so I'm about to move to lower wattage3 bulbs for the summer.
