    First Chameleon!

    I appreciate the information, but I don't think this forum is for me. I'm going to buy a book. If anyone knows of a good book, I'm open to that suggestion.

    First Chameleon!

    What is considered a baby? So basically I need to cut back on the calcium and get a screen cage. I give the crickets carrots or potatoes before feeding them to her. Everything that I'm doing that IS correct is what I was told to by the actually VERY knowledgable Petsmart personnel that I...

    What are the different types of Jacksons? I'm not really sure.

    She never sleeps in the daytime. It's not bright at all. She settled down, curled her tail, and went to sleep.

    Would it be a bad idea to put live hibiscus in there?

    We have one dog that we spoil. I guess we will just spoil our Camilla as well. Is this a good enclosure to consider buying? http://www.flchams.com/cages-for-sale.asp Also we were told to clean everything off every week or so, is this right?

    How do the drippers run? Is it just something you fill periodically? Why no glass? The bigger enclosures I saw were only glass with screen tops and some openings for ventilation. It is UVB 5.0

    I agree some are "BS" experts. There are many in that store that I see and I turn around and walk out cause I know they have no idea what they're talking about. I only go to the manager at my petsmart. She told us she needed 4-6 crickets a day, with calcium added about 3 times a week. She said...

    She was $90 and we really only wanted one. We're full time students and we work part time as well. We have the time for her, but one is enough. We also have a dog. We aren't really into reptiles. We will never have more than one enclosure of reptiles, it's just not our thing. But we really...

    Yes we have all those things. There are some there that I would never listen to, but this lady is always such a help and really cares that everything is right for the animals. I trust her word, but of course there are other tidbits that can only be given by an owner of a chameleon.

    No we actually fell in love with her at PetSmart. The manager there was very helpful and told us everything we needed to know. I don't know the size of a 3 month old. She could be older than what they thought. As far as the dripper, we sometimes put ice cubes on the mesh top and it melts down...

    We live in Florida as well! She has a really cool twisting branch thing in her enclosure that she climbs more than her plants.
