Yes but each coccidia is "mostly" keyed to whatever infected them. Birds infect birds. mammals infect mammals. Your cat can get it from the neighbors cat, and give it to you when cleaning out the litter box. That coccidia is not going to leap to the bird or reptile population.

Generally what can live in a bird, cant live in a chameleon. You see those nightmare fuel horse hair worms coming out of mantises, those are still good eatin for chams. And plenty of us feed wild caught feeders. Our biggest concern is pesticides, not parasites.

Get a wee spider to walk infront of a powersupply, and it start projecting.

Leon has nowhere to hide. Having a "pet tree" setup is perfectly fine, but as of right now playing fine the chameleon is impossible. As for lightning. Im mixed. You have a very highoutput bulb, in a very short tank. But its only on one side of the tank. I would make sure he cant get within...

Dubia only. I have about 3 different cleaner crews ive collected over the years. I just treat the bin as a compost heap. Old/left over people veggies get put in, and two days later are pulled out. Once a year i remove about 2/3 of the frass and filter it so its fine. vertical egg crats are...

Yes. again its only for problem shedders/areas or in my case weather. If its above 60% humidity i wont hand out the vitamin B. But if its 30% in winter and someone is trying to shed toes, yea im handing out the B. After that it individual. Some folks have trouble to sides( i never have)...

Its a vitamin B snack. So maybe half the feeders on that day(or all the feeders if its only 2-3 large prey) if its crickets etc. Its water soluble so you can use as much as you want, especially since its only one dose. Kinda like we can take 3000% of vitamin c when we get sick. With my tegu...

I tend to try to split it underneath along the footpad using tweezers. As long as you get a split, its not going to constrict. That give you all the time in the world to wait and see. Best case it falls off by next shed. Worse case things start growing in between the stuck shed and the live...

Yup. It will get very brittle. Kinda like if you use non uv stable zip ties. But plenty of people use wood painted in urethane just fine in cham cages. So you could use that.

As stated, you can eat off PETG and it has a high eat tolerance. However if you make a bird house out of it, the sun will destroy it in a season. Outdoor PETG needs to be painted.

Generally babies dont get a lamp. I keep my lamps on for a much shorter about of time unless its winter and im using for general cage heat. During the summer my lamps are off by 10-11am. Once cage heat hits 75f, its really not needed. During the winter i keep small (under 50 watt) halogen...

My only panther hated me and everyone else. He was my only "cage" lizard. Couldnt handle at all. Cage cleaning was a sport. Both male veileds could be handed to children once they got over TVS (Teenage Veiled Syndrome).

Some times to the outside, sometimes to the inside. Ive never had a veiled nom nom silk or plastic plants, but im sure there is always one gunning for me. I have a large collection of suction cup fish tank things that i use. Id say my worst was a not so bright water dragon. The only way i...

I hung a bunch of fake vine/ivy suctioncupped to the glass for my last glass surfer. This kept him from rubbing nose, and also kinda made a hidey hole.

Nobody eats apples here. Everyone loves bananas and black/blue berries. Even the frilled dragons will eat them if you pull them on a string and go fishing.
