I've noticed that there's a bump under my chameleon's left eye and I don't know how he got it. Sometimes he has some issues seeing where his food is, but he has been fine otherwise. Does anyone know what I should do?

Looks pretty good! I would suggest misting twice a day for about 3 minutes (once before lights come on and once after lights go off) instead of three times. Is the UVB a T5? What brand? The basking spot is also a little too hot for a baby and should be in the high 70s to low 80s. You can take...

I got that shirt a few weeks ago 😂 Highly recommend

That would make sense. Thank you!

I got a Mistking system a couple weeks ago and put it together yesterday. It works great and I haven't had any problems. I was just confused on what the extra materials in the kit were for, especially the white part. I'm not the brightest when it comes to putting things like this together so any...

Looks pretty good! I would add more live plants and maybe mist twice a day for 2-3 minutes in the morning and night.

I haven't ordered from Great Lakes Hornworms so I don't know their policy on returns. You could return the bugs and reorder them again closer to when he arrives. I've never fed my chameleon wax worms but I know crickets don't grow super fast. Hornworms grow pretty fast but I think if you keep...

Your axolotls are so cool!

I have a dracaena in my cage if that's what's in yours and it's safe.

It would be much better to go with a misting system. Waterfalls can get a lot of bacteria in them and aren't great for chameleons. I hand mist my chameleon but I'm hoping to upgrade to a MistKing system soon. Hope this helps!

You're welcome! Mine loves his food too.

It would be a good idea to add live plants. They provide more coverage and can increase the humidity!

He's doing very well! Do you have a cham?

I mean... I guess you could? Chameleons don't have cannabinoid receptors (I don't really know what those are) so eating it wouldn't affect them I don't think but I don't know for sure. It's not good for mammals but reptiles might be okay with it. It would look pretty cool I guess 😂

My favorite plant to use is a pothos. I use sticks from outside that I have cleaned. Make sure if you get sticks from outside they come from trees without sap on them. Here is a list of chameleon safe plants!
