MV is mercury vapor. It provides all the uv needed as well as warmth for basking. You will hear mixed things about these bulbs but I have had really good experiences with them. Takes a while to play around with the light distance and temps but once u figure that out they are great. My plants...
I have seen lots of good pictures and videos of chameleon enclosures so I thought I would post a video of Yoshi's enclosure. Unfortunately I missed her eating out of her cup but I would love to hear what you guys think of my enclosure. I would also appreciate any tips to make it better. I am...
Hey guys, so my 4 month old female veiled was immediately recognized for her lack of shyness. She is now a juvenile and still eating well out of my hands. She gets handled pretty much every day and never hisses up unless she catches a reflection of herself. She came from chroma chameleons in...

Just make sure that you put the crickets in like a plastic cup vs like foam or paper so that the crickets slip and can't get a good enough grip. Be careful with clear cups, you don't want your cham to bruise their toungue
