When you say 6500k, do you mean flourescent, or compact flourescent? Both of my enclosures are 18x18x36, so I could probably do one 4ft flourescent light over them, the compact flourescent seems to be a better setup, but that means purchasing two, and they're expensive. Don't mind spending...

As I've mentioned before, I do not have a green thumb at all. Both my chams have hibiscus in their cages, and I am having issues with them. I have grow lights over both, 60 watt, and they are close to a window where they get a little light, but the leaves are yellowing, and any blossoms that...

Finally got my new guy! He's 3 months old now, sired by Fierce, I can't wait to see him grow and his colors mature! Right now, he's sleeping soundly, just thought I'd post a couple pics. Snapped one of Picasso real quick too.

Carlton, that's a good idea. I didn't think of that. They also had a couple dead frogs and some sickly snakes. They said the store has been getting hot at night, but that's not an excuse to me. I'll check into that.

I live in the Austin, TX area, not too much to choose from here when it comes to pet stores anyway. There were two in Austin, one closed, and the more reputable one was left. More reputable until now... I decided to go visit them since I had nothing to do today. Last time I was in, they...

Looks great! I am horrible at building, but makes me want to build one!

Wow!!! This is exactly what I've been daydreaming about! I want to build one almost exactly like it for my panther, only separate the two sides, so I can put my next cham in it as well. Want to build me one? LOL

As for the vines, I used fishing line to secure everything in Picasso's cage, and it has worked great.

This post wells up quite a few emotions for me. I kept and bred crested geckos for years successfully and took a guilt trip here and there about them being trapped in cages and forced to live the way I wanted them to. Now, not only do I have a chameleon, my other love is Great Danes. We...

When you start talking to your husband about this new species of cham that you just love and he cuts you off after one sentence and says "Where can we get one?" with that dreadful tone of voice, because he knows it will end up in the house anyway...

He gets about 10-12 crickets a day, along with a wax worm snack at least every other day. I keep a very close eye on him when I'm home, and he's never done this before. He does look frustrated right now though!

I noticed Picasso shedding today, he never has any issues, or never seems to. I usually get home from work and find pieces of his shed in the cage, and he's clean, no left over pieces hanging on. I just happen to be home today, and I walked into the room, and found him shedding. Nothing...

Thank you :-) He's about 6 months old now, I believe. He was about 4 months when I got him, and I've had him for two...

A few pictures of Picasso, more in my album. Finally had a chance to take some pictures, he's really started showing color within the past couple weeks. The first two are from his first night home, the ones with more color were taken tonight :D Can't help but be a proud mama:p
