I was thinking of encorporating one of those mood enhancing bulbs that we northerners use to fight off the effect of seasonal effective disorder in my Chams cage. It's just like a regular bulb I use to heat the cage now but it is a full spectrum light. Does anyone use these? Are they safe for...

UUUGH! What took me so long to understand this?!!! If I notice him drinking from the cap with the dropper can I reduce misting? I must 3 times a day for one minute right now.

Ok so recently I suggested on another site that Chams should not be drinking water from a glass at the bottom of their cages and gave a few reasons why that is. I got completly grilled by almost everyone on there and got chased out of town more or less. Am I totally off base here? Would...

What wonderful stories Chameleons really do become part of the family. Great to hear these responses!

This thread is all about all the not so often discussed nuances and new priorities that come with Husbandry. Today I was thinking about the impact that my chameleon has had in my life. I sat at my desk thinking about how now instead of hitting the snooze button six times every dreary morning...

Thank you carol. I can sleep better now! I am so glad you answered my post. :)

I caught my cham napping today around 6 p.m. today. Its the first time that ive noticed this. He looks healthy otherwise. The cage is in my room and im in there only two hours a day. 36'' tall reptibreeze 5.0 uvb 60 watt incandescent bulb basking temp 90-95 degrees humidity 60-80% 4000k...

Do you think they're to big for him to eat now? They're about and 1.5" and the cham is about 6-7" head to tail.

My hornworms have tripled in size in 2 days. Can my Panther eat adult hornworms? He's about 5 months and 6" long. Are they safe to eat at that size?

This has been a goal of mine for some time and I finished my dual build today! I got a Reptibreeze 18x18x36 with an Exoterra glass terrarium as the base to hold in moisture and prevent escaped critters. This build is designed to allow maximum air flow, contained moisture, realistic habitat...

Im looking on CL but have come up empty. Make me an offer.

Thats halarious! I have the same humidifier and hose set-up! Great minds think alike I suppose.

Thanks Ryu I'm excited to start planning the build. The cheapest I could find an adult screen cage was 110 dollars on Amazon. I'll save a bunch making my own.

I'm thinking about retrofitting a screen cage on top of my glass terrarium. I'm thinking this will make for great airflow while allowing humidity to be captured at the bottom. What are your thoughts? The specs are 2x2x4

Are the spikes on horned worms a potentail danger? Could they puncture internal organs?
