The most informative video I have come across on the subject.

I just realized I can use a black trash bag as a liner and tie it around the lip tight but the other questions remain.

Never had luck with offered greens, I kinda gave up on them to be honest, my female will eat parts of my scheffs every now and again. I haven't had to trim it back since I got her so she is doing a good job at removing new growth. Nothing quite excites her like crickets though.

I have chosen play sand as the medium I am going to take, does the bin need to be black? I just bought a rubbermaid container that is 16"x14"x14" but it is fairly see through plastic, I was thinking of taking sandpaper to it and scratching it to reduce visibility. Is this necessary or will she...

Alright time for an update, her name is aurora... she has grown into quite the veild, her colour is fantastic but very subtle and she has these light purple streaks on her face and that run along her ridges. She has the same purple on her body with the light green, she really is stunning in...

Its the purine content not necessarily animal vs plant proteins, cat food wouldn't be too bad depending on the type of fish. Im not recommending it but for arguments sake it could be done. Not that you should even be feeding feeders high protein diets anyways. The real reason I see high protein...

Are they really more nutritious as far as a chameleons needs are concerned? Crickets have less fat, lower protein levels and a higher moisture content by percentage. So they would be better for hydration and arguably better staple for some species who require lower fat and protein levels to...

Love the ridges on these guys, look like dinosaurs. Amazing looking cham.

Always exciting setting up new enclosures.

People cash in, prices plummet, quality drops. What sucks is breeding animals can be a very rewarding part of exotic husbandry, hell I remember trying to breed many species of fish that never bred in captivity, it was a challenge and was fun trying to be the first. Now it seems people just...

I spot clean leaves for poop when I see it, wipe the bottom daily to get rid of excess water, poop, dead bugs, leaves, calcium outlines from fallen crickets, etc etc. The enclosure drains well and into the plants for the most part so I don't have a swamp issue going on at the bottom. I also...

Looks good, never had an animal use its enclosure quite as much as a cham, they love the space.

Its quite the conundrum considering I don't take them myself because I believe they are ineffective. :D If you have some time browse google scholar, found this on dietary d3 effectiveness in growing bearded dragons. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1096495910000540...

If you have scurvy a multi vitamin with vit c is going to help I don't care what these studies say. I assume that's the kinda thing giving the muti vit is for, in my case once every two weeks. You hit any nutritional gaps you could be missing in your regular feedings.

Really depends on if you keep it on the screen and how far from the basking area it is. I would just go with trial and error with a few different bulbs, like I said if you buy them from a dollar store or similar they are cheap cheap cheap. I am using a 15w bulb to get low 80s for my female...
