One of the most valuable lessons I discovered while attempting to afford this wonderful, yet expensive hobby, goes as follows: Utilize any and all available methods to avoid the purchase and dependence on mass produced, reptile specific brands. Almost every product we need for successful...

I used to buy from a local petstore that would let me order a box of 500, like you would online, but pick it up in-store and thereby pay no shipping fees. You might want to look into that. But I have also found that buying them a couple dollars as a time can be the most cost effective way...

The ordeal of being moved, coupled with a brand new environment, will often (obviously) stress a chameleon. When we introduce prey into this new environment they sometimes become even more stressed, resulting in a loss of appetite or interest in food. In fact, I've heard breeders recommend that...

I don't think there is anything you really need to do for him. If he really is a Common Chameleon then he naturally lives in your part of the world. Try and keep your cats away if you can, obviously, but I don't think he needs any help. When chameleons sleep the muscles that control their color...

Mouth Rot? Sleeping during the day is usually not a good sign. It is often an indicator of a problem or issue. You might want to fill out the health form so members can take a look at your husbandry and evaluate any issues they might see. However, the fact that he has been alive for a year in...

I just find it strange that you made a post on this site about how posting on this site is worthless..... Well, your post certainly was worthless. Were you just trying to get people fired up or is there a point to this thread?

What it really comes down to is shipping cost. In the U.S., depending on your area, Mistking shipping can run up to $40. And it's not because they are ripping us off either, that's just how much it cost. There are local retailers who sell the Mistking stuff, but I have not yet seen them carry...

Panthers don't have spurs.

Sean, is that system manual or automatic? And Ktown, check out dripdepot.com. They have all kinds of nozzles and parts that will work with low pressure systems. I am using the adjustable "vortex" nozzle they sell but you might want to try one of their low pressure or adjustable misters and...

How close can her casque get to the heat lamp? Does it seem like it is filled with fluid?

I've got a 530 GPH pump, a timer, and a nozzle used to water plants. It definitely creates "rain," and the chameleon drinks from it just fine, but it dumps alot of water on the bottom of my cage. After the pump, the timer, the nozzles, tubing, and fittings I was well over $30, but not nearly as...

Well what's important about the fine mist nozzles is that there is low flow. I just set up a system using a pond pump and it works great, but it goes through a lot of water very fast (uses a "vortex" nozzle). That leaves me with a lot more excess water to deal with. And also, the element of...

Prince to the Iron throne! Haha Westeros names? Brilliant...

My male panther goes through moods similar to this. Some months he will do anything to get out of his cage and sit on my shoulder (only mine though, he won't climb onto anyone else). Then sometimes he is perfectly content ignoring my existence.

If your getting an aluminum screen cage, it will come with the perforated plastic bottom. If you are buying a reptarium, you will need to order a soft tray. Try...
