    Please help

    I don't see why at that age his appetite will decrease. I think he should be eating a decent amount of crickets each day for a few more months atleast. If you could fill out the help form that will help us with some answers to give. How big is the cage he is in right now. How are the...

    New Enclosure (looking for tips)

    It looks like you need more perches and foliage closer to the top of the enclosure. I have mine set up to where he only has a couple of inches above his head when he is in a normal basking stance. If you are worried about burning him you should adjust the lamp, either move it back or pull it...

    my jackson wont eat

    It looks like your feeder try is right in the path of the concetrated light. Since that is a very unnatural position of lighting and it could possibly make it harder for him to see the food. Just a thought. Also, im not sure if you are offering it to him by hand or not but i would put them in a...

    Calling all gut-load experts. I think I'm on to something...

    I like to make a nice wet-gutload as well as a dry gutload using sandrachams...blog. It lets me know exactly what and in what quantity i am offering to my feeders. I have found it pretty inexpensive especially when made in bulk. Also, ive found that it is much more convienant and have had zero...

    Urgent, cutting own arms

    I would say cutback one of the D3 saturdays and one of the multivitamin days so that they are being rotated out as twice a month for both supplements. I would def keep the 10.0 that way he gets sufficient uv through the screen and all. If you want to change later you could but i would recommend...

    My set up for my Jackson's

    I think it looks great for a setup! Some people have had issues with the ficus sap, but honestly their are so many people who choose to use these trees as the center piece of free ranges or cage foliage. I personally would not get rid of it but i would add another live plant. Maybe a pothos...

    diarrhea

    I would def get a fecal no matter what just because i personally believe it is good practice for all chameleons no matter their stool. I and most people just do it annually to ensure overall good health. Aside from that, I wouldn't be to concerned with the runny stool so long as you do go get a...

    Help!!!

    I would not worry about the worms at all! You are just fine in that dept. However, I would be a little concerned of the possibility of it bein an URI? Not saying its for sure the problem but it could be just like Miss Carol said.

    Haha im afraid you have been servicing your cham by taking care of ALL his needs, I believe those are sperm plugs my guy does it (actually quite a bit now that I think about it) lol I never pull them out though! I think your guy is just fine though!

    Nnnooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

    So the zilla uvb light and the grow light is that your light setup?
  13. L

    Just got my first

    yea the basking lamp will do him great. The heat given off by the uvb would not be enough and a basking lamp will be needed. just as you saw his activity increase with the heat lamp you should also see his food intake increase. the higher temps allow him to metabolize his food and make room for...

    Going away for the long weekend

    Well im glad everything looks like its going ok, to me it sounds like the whole situation with speed bumps along the way was more work than not. I know he needs his water but after that whole story of him on the floor,lights being moved, timers messed up, cage shifted, driven across town, and...

    How do you know when chameleon is dehydrated?

    If his urates are yellowish or orange that means he is likely dehydrated. If you are misting 10-15 times a day, i wouldn't necessarily increase to more mist sessions, but would rather increase the amount of time i mist for. I would mist for 2-5 min each time. If he is still drinking after that...
