Hi folks! Moving from MN to CA next week, I’m taking my sweet gal Karen (2yo Frank Payne carpet cham) with me as I haven’t found anyone willing to either buy her individually or with her epic setup, which makes sense cause I went bonkers for the best Bioactive setup haha it ain’t cheap...

Hi friends! My carpet chameleon Karen is being a real…Karen! Jk she’s pretty sweet and so are most Karen’s I know! We’ve had to move her enclosure to a more trafficked area of our living space due to baby no. 2 needing the room Karen was in, my husband is not about to share space with Karen and...

They are 1/4” crickets but I have them in a little cup and she seems really interested when I put them in front of her! Thanks for all your help! Things are looking great!

Great to know thank you! She actually started her first shed today! Is it normal for her not to eat today or would she still be hungry? I have crickets in her enclosure as per usual but unsure what to expect ❤️

I have some 1/8” that I ordered and some bean beetles as well as some Soldier Fly Larva that I’m planning to only use as treats?

Ok, I’ll be sure to do that especially with the new build I’m making tomorrow, thanks for your input! I would LOVE to hook up a Cham cam, I’ll have to look into getting one! ❤️

Hi friends! I recently started using a feeder run to help my baby see the crickets I’v started feeding her by breeder recommendation, they are size small crickets (1/4”) and she’s pretty petite. She sometimes will eat a cricket out of the run but only when I place her within full view and she...

Ok good to know! Then I’ll place the fan at the top facing outward to help the air circulate out through the top! Thank you! I have two 3” ventilation holes at the bottom of the enclosure with a wide mesh to help airflow, however I’ll add the fan circulation then if the tank needs more airflow...

May I ask a question about how to achieve the chimney effect? Is it to get the air moving from the bottom of the enclosure to the top, or the top air to the bottom? I bought a small fan but unsure to have it pointing into the enclosure or away to suck air out…or whether to put it at the top to...

Good to know on both accounts, thank you! I’ll be looking for hardwood branches next time, as of right now the mold is pretty superficial so I’ll be keeping an eye out if that becomes an issue. Thank you!

I also cleaned my wild branches and let them sun bake! Very good info on the fake ones…if I use them I’ll be keeping a close eye on them so thank you for that ❤️

It did dry out every day before I realized I wasn’t hydrating my baby correctly, I then misted a LOT until my fogger came and that’s when the mold showed up and hasn’t left 🥲 specifically I’m sure it was because I was misting during the daytime for 2 days. I have since stopped doing this and...

I found my branches outside, at first I didn’t have the tank humid at nighttime then I over compensated and that’s when I found mold…I’ve since bought a fogger and use that at night with misting once am and pm but I think I need a fan to air it out. I’m just concerned that prolonged exposure to...

Hi folks! Has anyone tried using Hydrogen peroxide 3% to sanitize sticks mold on them? I’m adding a fan to the top of the enclosure to help with airflow however I still am unsure if I just need to replace all the sticks or if I can use hydrogen peroxide to sanitize them. Has anyone used...

My 4 mo. old baby carpet chameleon Karen has a hard time finding fruit flies in the condiment cup I put in her enclosure, they are dusted with vitamins. She has a better time finding them around the enclosure if they escape but then I’m not sure how many she’s eating or if it’s enough for her...
