its the same carving, the bug was broken off. i cant recall if it were vandals or just.... the weather... any number of things. it sits in reedsport oregon

Im currently visiting my mom in my hometown...ive mentioned it before but its a tiny town of about 4000 people.. what used to be a logging community. Ive taken pictures before but thought you guys might like it... so here it is.... just shows how widespread the chameleon is.. i believe the guy...

I have added a 16x2 lcd to the raspiv... if you check the Raspiviv forums, under mods, you will see the 16x2 i2c current temp and humidity thread... after doing it... its not very bad.... if you try it... and need help, id be happy to assist. im working on adding an easy setup type menu from...

I always kinda joked about this and chameleons, You don't really own them. sure they have a space in your house, sure they cost money that would otherwise be spent on a car part, or a game for the xbox, but in reality, they are members of the family. You re-arrange your living arrangements, your...

While no longer live in Oregon, growing up on the coast (Gardiner/ Reedsport) i kept a Jackson very easily. This was back in the mid 90's early 2000's. There wasn't a while lot of info then, and everyone thought he would die next week. My memory isnt 100% but i kept him for 8+ years. I free...

Dont grab the pitchforks, very old story,as i was really young wgen i got my first chameleon. A male jackson. When I got my first chameleons I had several friends over and they're bright idea was to put him in the bong. every time I pulled the bong out after that he would always try to get out...

my very first chameleon, a Jackson, choked on a beetle and died. i would suggest... if feeding them to him, i would watch until they are gone.

I had just started doing some indoor gardening, and it never struck me to think about it from the same perspective until i noticed some copper deficiencies. Carlton, I completely agree that every tap is going to have different water. I would even think that from tap to tap inside a dwelling...

sounds like he is basking....

i lived in oregon growing up.... it was hard to get crickets where im from, so i used to catch grass hoppers, among other things, and feed them to my Jackson.... wild caught, but in an area where... pesticides were not used. as with any wild caught animal, there is always a risk of parasites....

essentially, this is what i was getting at..... any one been doing chams for 20+ years, and 10 years in, switched to RO water, to notice a huge change? what kind of change?

Id say that there is no need for expensive basking bulbs,, a regular old incandescent will do. as SocialNumb suggested, that's a lot of wax worms. take a look at http://chamownersweb.net/insects/nutritional_values.htm at 22%(of sample) its extremely high. that would be like you or i eating...

I don't mean to suggest that supplementation via a water source is viable. that is crazy talk. what i'm really asking, does tap water have any value to chameleons, the enclosures they are kept in, their food source.... aside from the obvious benefit of using RO water(not having water spots...

its been a while since i been on here. Ive been extremely busy. I hopped on today and the top post was about misting nozzles and using RO water. I suspect most members here are into a very large assortment of hobbies... so my question is about RO water and the micro/macro nutrients it supplies...

i vaguely recall my jackson's stool looking like that.... well... not so large... i dont think...
