    Buying a Chameleon for the first time!

    Amazing animals, amazingly time consuming, I have a pair and am.very fortunate that I can either board them out if I need more than 3 days away or have a good friend who will pop in and feed them, remember your chosen "feeder" needs to be happy to handle bugs so expecting the next door neighbour...

    Is a misting system a must have?

    Depends on where you live, climate varies greatly, if you need to heat the viv it's going to reduce the humidity, it's a subjective question. In winter heating will reduce the ambient humidity. If you want a consistent environment then you need a mister hooked up to a humidistat if you don't...

    Can any one help with a rain system for my chameleon?

    I have the superrain 2 set up which I am happy with, a lot more powerful pump than the nano so possibly quieter and maybe more reliable though, sorry I can't be more help

    My mom says I need to get rid of my chameleon, what to do?

    It's not a cheap hobby, I have to admit I got a little overexcited and the breeders in the UK would o ly sell pairs as they usually get stuck with the females so my £500 set up went through the roof, the shop I went to sprays his 4 times a day and I can't tie myself to a vivarium 4 times daily...

    Humidity

    I give calcium daily and a multivitamin with d3 twice weekly in place of the calcium, once they are about a year old I will cut the vitamins and d3 down to once a fortnight, as for illness I don't.think they suffer any more than other reptiles but unlike others they need to be looked after...

    Humidity

    It's quite involved, I'm.happy to help in whatever way I can so feel free to ask, they are fascinating creatures but quite a responsibility, not sure what you paid but going rate is around £250 for a male and £80-100 for a female, poop is a good way of judging health as they don't urinate so...

    Humidity

    I haven't had mine long at all but have spent a great deal of time researching as you can probably tell, the first thing I would say is you have no idea what the previous occupant of the cage had disease wise or bacteria wise, may not be an issue but I would clean everything as thoroughly as I...

    Humidity

    Mine only do one poop a day which I remove when I see it, not sure if you know they don't recognise standing water or not? I got a dripper plant from.ebay for about £30 and a bowl.to stand it in as they only drink dew from.leaves, you will probably have to hang a plastic shower curtain on two...

    Humidity

    I got a super rain 2 system, supposed to handle several viv's at once if the need.arises, think it was about £130. It doesn't come with any control system though so could be used with a timer, I also got an evo pro 2 Controller for humidity and temperature control that was the same price, the...

    Humidity

    Mine has a wooden bottom, wooden sides and a glass front, drainage isnt an issue as I don't add enough water to cause a.surplus, depends on your climate (I'm in the UK where it varies a lot), I was hand spraying for humidity but I'm afraid being present 4 times a day for the rest of.my.life...

    Why You Should Never Use Tap Water For Your Chameleon

    Distilled water will be like a bacterial growth playground after a short while as it has no chlorine to prevent it. So its fine to use immediately but not to store, rainwater is in no way as pure as people believe, when it leaves the clouds it is but by the time.it has got to us it will have...
