Both of my guys love the shower. My apartment complex covers my water bill and i shower my female at least once a week and she loves it. Just aim the shower head at the wall and let the spray hit them. I leave my female in the cage and let her stay in there for a half hour or so.

Weird... Yea the wild ones can eat coral.

You can tell hes a male cause he has yellow bars. thats a dead give away. Does Amy have any barring yet?

How big is the bulb?

Well the reef there is only under about 10feet of water, its a rock reef I have only dived it a handful of times. Its really fun to snorkel tho. You should make a trip to the keys sometime, its great down there.

Would this work with wild parrot fish? Once a month or so i head down to West Palm to snorkel/dive a reef off the beach and there are parrot fish there? What would be the risk of attracting sharks with this?

Haha so true, I love my guys, and they are fairly easy to care for. Its also fun to play "Find the pygmy"

I too have found my male hanging under his lamp, I mainly notice this happen in the morning when he is warming up before he does his daily laps around the cage to make sure nothing has changed. I always wondered how Kitty got his name! haha.

Veileds should not be housed together, the only time they should be together is when they are mating. Was the female receptive? (light blue and yellow spots) Anyway when a female acts that way they need to be separated.

Remove them? there is nothing that i know of that you can apply to fake plants to keep a chameleon from eating them. I dont use fake plants in my females cage because i noticed similar behavior.

Handling can be VERY hard on a chameleon. They are more like fish, in the sense that you look but don't touch. I only touch my guys/girls when I am doing a serious cage cleaning. Or if they have to go to the vet. My girls cage is actually small enough that when i took her i Just seatbelted the...

Dubias are very easy to breed and you can regulate how fast or slow they reproduce by the amount of heat that is provided. They cannot climb either.

Silkworms, or you could start a Dubia Roach colony.

If she isn't using it it may be broken? Any pictures?

To help with the dehydration, but him on a plant and put the plant in the shower. Spray the wall at the side of the shower so the stream isn't hitting him directly, both of my chameleons love it.
