Will def try this. Thanks :D

So I've had my Oustalet's Chameleon for a few months now and was wondering how I should go about holding him. At the moment he will sometimes eat from my hand but either stands still or walks away when I try to get him to walk on my hand. He stays a light grey color so I assume he isn't...

Problem is I just got 1000 from lllreptile two days ago, so it's not really possible :( The ants aren't "killer" ants or anything and they don't bit, so I don't think they are dangerous to the crickets.

So I woke up this morning to find the cricket terrarium crawling with ants. I sprayed the area under the table with pesticide and placed the legs of the table in bowls of water, to prevent any more from climbing up. My question is, how do I get the ants out of the cricket terrarium itself? I...

I just replaced it with the 75w again and 15 minutes later he is clinging to the roof directly under the lamp. Switched back to 100w and not going back until summer :D

So I've had my Oustalet's Cham for a little over a week and have been using a 75w basking bulb (which made the tip top of the basking spot about 94F). However, I had been noticing that he spent almost all his time perched on the tip top of the basking spot and never ever left the top 25% of the...

He is about 5 months CB according to the store page. He is much more active and eating well. So far I haven't noticed any more problems :)

Left the bulb off last night and he is much more active than he was yesterday! He ate quite a few crickets this morning too! :D

Hey, someone on the forums told me to keep my ultraviolet heat bulb off at night because it might prevent my cham from sleeping. Is it ok if temps drop to 62F? He is an Outsie cham :)

K, thanks for the help. I couldn't get any good pics, btw, because of his being in the back of the cage and all, just some blurry outside-in shots.

Do you think I should surround the cage with a sheet for his privacy? Also, lemme post a pic or two

Something I forgot to mention is that the night heat lamp is controlled by a zoo med hydrotherm, maintaining it at about 75 degrees at the very top of the cage. The room where he is in (which is the living room of the house) drops to about 62F at night (it's the lowest before the heating for...

FLChams. He seemed fine when he came out of the box, though, and his color was nice and bright until a few hours ago

So I just received my Oustalet's Chameleon this morning (about 11 hours ago) and he hasn't eaten anything since. He did have some mealworms in the box with him so I assume he ate his fill on the way, no? Also, he rarely moves and stays as close to the back of the cage as possible, usually...

ill probably build/buy some sort of structure to keep it a few inches above the mesh. I was afraid of him falling, too. Every once in a while his hand would slip. he is down now :)
