Good News! I put the basking light on top of where he was sitting, and he climbed up to it! :) Now I am under the impression that he was too cold-- I will get a high quality thermometer to measure the temp from now on-- maybe somehow it got too cold for him at the bottom of his cage. In the...

Ok, Thanks for the quick reply. I will cut down the misting some and get some plain calcium. The breeder I got him from told me to do the dusting schedule I am doing right now, but since most people use the other one, and it seems to have good results I'll switch to that to make sure I don't...

Hi Everybody! I just got my first chameleon, a 4 month old, from fl chams (now Otto)! He's a nosy be panther and already starting to show some awesome blues! He was shipped to me on Tuesday, and already started drinking and eating right away. :D I have been browsing the forum for quite some time...
