    veiled chameleon water supply?

    Distilled or RO/DI water for the reservoir. Keeps the lines and spray heads clean and clear. You can buy it by the gallon at most aquarium stores, or go online and buy your own RO/DI unit. They’re worth the investment.

    My Ambilobe panther Morty is growing up fast. Captured this photo of him today. Love his colors here.

    A recipe for all of you to try...

    I had some seasoned crickets during my last Asia trip. Pretty common in that part of the world. Also had some grasshopper salsa in Mexico a few months back.

    How can I get my Veiled to not run away when I mist?

    I have an aquarium heater in my MistKing reservoir. My boys ran away from the room temp water, but enjoy the warmer misting.

    I think I have it set up.

    Ditch the carpet and the UTH. 63 is fine for nighttime temps. My reptile room gets into the 50s every once in a while. The carpet will just harbor bacteria and complicate drainage.

    I think I have it set up.

    Which species are you keeping? I’d dial back the frequency of your mistings, but increase the durations. I mist for 3 minutes per session at minimum. Gives my animals a chance to clean up and also gives enough time to stimulate drinking. What are your ambient temps? I don’t use under tank...

    Vitamins and supplements

    Each species has different needs and tolerances for supplementation.

    Help! Chameleon Laying on Its Side?!

    Dr. Moore is good to go. She is well-versed in chameleons and took care of my boys on my last trip there. You're in good hands.

    what to feed my chameleon & when!!

    Of course. Make sure to research thoroughly, and ensure your enclosure is up and running BEFORE the animal arrives. There's a lot of knowledge on here to help you be successful the first time.

    what to feed my chameleon & when!!

    You'll need deli cups to dust your feeders with and some small tanks or tubs to hold your feeders.

    New Cham Owner, Slightly Overwhelmed

    @rcc760 delete the other duplicate thread of the same name. You probably hit post another time accidentally. Otherwise you'll have two identical threads going with different responses.

    Drinking

    If your chameleon's urates are nice and white, why are you concerned that he isn't drinking? Also, what is a PB mister?
