Here's some new pics of the little dude! Got humidity under control btw. The entire problem was the sensor was resting on the mat on the floor of the cage, which was always damp from the mistings. Raised the gauge a bit, ambient temp is 72 and humidity is 68/

We definitely have a lamp just for giving off heat - at night with all the lights off it is 75 in the apt so it's pretty comfortable for him regardless. It's so nice to have a community of people in all stages of chameleon experience and ownership! So helpful. We got him some small crickets...

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. He always brightens up a few minutes after, he just happens to be towards the top of the cage a lot when the mist goes off. It's like room temp water, like 75 degrees.

Thank you! I think the only thing I can think of to ask right now is if it is at all normal for them to get pretty dark after misting? I don't know if the mist just startles him or whatever, but he always gets really dark after the mist goes off.

Thanks again for the replies! It has honestly helped set me at ease a little bit while raising this baby. He seems to be doing well, we're just getting used to watching him and noting any little ticks and quirks and getting a feel for a good routine with him. We've increased the number of...

Thanks so much! Our leopard gecko's name is Artemis, so Apollo just seemed fitting. I'll definitely adjust the mistings; I was afraid of overdoing it but I'm glad to hear a few more or just longer sessions would help. The fruit flies I've been a little confused over gut loading since that's...

Honestly, I wish I'd asked more when we were with the woman; I'm not sure. It seems like a sort of custom rig she set up, and I don't know what brand it is or anything other than it's there, it works, and it works with a set timer. I've read a bit and gotten sort of all-over-the-map suggestions...

Haha! I feel your pain. My leopard gecko, Artemis, loves him some crickets. I can't remember the last time I haven't had a small cricket chorus. What annoys me is when it's only one or two of them going. Somehow it's more grating to my ears hearing the one chirp chirp chirp vs a few of them...

Hello everyone! My name is Quinn, and my boyfriend Gage and I are entirely new to the chameleon scene. He had been doing research and wanting a chameleon for quite some time, and originally wanted a Jackson's chameleon. However, we wound up meeting someone moving out of state that was selling a...
