This is a newb question...What I've always read and researched is that all female chameleons if not bred, can and usually do, become egg bound. That's what I always read on Veileds, and years ago when I was breeding them, I experienced it. I read other articles that say you have to be...

I don't have a microscope, I wish I did though! I know they don't shed all at once, what I meant was, unhealthy, reptiles, or those who have a deficiency in something, can have trouble shedding, and say, in the wild that's more likely, now say, shedding time has come and gone, and some skin...

Their Response Welp, I got a response this morning, here it is:

Yeah, typical HIDs are 400w and up because people use'em in whole rooms...But if you go to home depot or lowes, with the lights, they've got lower wattage HIDs, the best I can think of, is if you go look at their "security lights" like the MVs that are mounted outside peoples garages n what not...

Well, beings I don't really like Yahoo, I'll post this here, plus there's a lot of others who could chime in. Some of you had discussed Mercury Vapor HIDs...and I started wondering why someone would use those. I'm decently knowledgable in hydroponics/indoor growing, and the typical lights are...

If you go to the website, there's more info than the video has. I believe, the site instructions recommend using the anti-bacterial first, daily for a week, then moving to the anti-parasite for a week. In my opinion, it sounds like a great product, especially if it does work without doing...

Yes...he is nice.....to look at! Ha, He's a grumpy one. He's a WC and I'm not sure, but I think the shedding is that color from incomplete sheds in the wild, I've had him...for *thinks real hard* like 8 months and that was his first shed...sorta, he shed once around the beginning of Feb. it...

Well, I wrote them through the website and inquired about it and asked if they had future plans on making something similar for insectivorous/carnivorous reptiles such as snakes and chameleons, so maybe I'll get a reply within 24hrs like the site says! ha

They've got a meal, which I believe is a powder form for dusting greens, couldn't you dust crickets or other insects? Also, what about feeding your crickets pellets, or dusted greens? It could definitely be administered to a cham, but what about the ingredient values and any thoughts on this?

So, I think someone asked about this before, but I couldn't find the post. I'm curious as to what you guys think of these products now too. Here's their promotional Video: http://www.reptilestv.com/video/featured_products/10.reptile_xtra/01.htm And here's the website with info: Jungle...

This is awesome, finally an easy to follow forum/format and random other chameleon knowledgable people can read and chime in with helpful info too. I can even post a pic real quick like this! He hates the CHAMera haha, I don't hold him much either so....he hates ME TOO It's...

I had mine housed in sterlite shelves, staggered open with raised mesh for the frass to fall through. they were in my living room where the ambient temp ranged from 70-80 with night time drops and humidity was lowest at 25% and highest was 41%. I think all of that is well in range, especially...

The only thing I can really think of, is humidity or bacterial/viral infections, and like I said, the coldest the temp gets in my house where they're at is 70* and the humidity averages 28% I want to try again but I want to make sure I have everything sorted out before hand.

Yeah, mine died off slowly, but the sludge thing was over night, after a few had died, I had like 4 big ones that I thought were about ready to cocoon so I put'em in a cardboard box, next morning they were little strips of slime. I read 68-85 temp range depending on how fast you want them to...

I recently purchased some silkworms (two cup fulls) but they all died, I had a setup like what's described/recommended by breeders, kept in drawers with a raised screen bottom for the frass to fall through, fed them once their current food dried, never saw mold or anything but they would end up...
