Thank you so much. If I can be reasonably confident she died from dehydration, is there any way I could keep the plants and sanitize them, or do you think I should remove and get new ones?

- the "screen side" was about two thirds screen - Just remeasured, and I think 50% is a more accurate reading for daytime humidity - Those were the only times I misted, in my recent post on this chain I went over my hydration in more detail - I did not know they were secretive about drinking...

Ok guys thank you so much for your feedback and everything. I will be adjusting my husbandry based on y'alls advice in the coming weeks in preparation for another cham if I do decide to get one. I was cleaning the cage today and I found a poop which had no urate as far as I could tell and the...

Hey guys so, I got a female panther chameleon from a pretty well respected breeder and sadly just two weeks after I got her, she died. And I love chameleons a lot, and definitely want to get another one at some point but I really want to make sure that my husbandry is on point before I do. I'll...

So, I originally had plans to get a female carpet chameleon, and I had designed an enclosure for the carpet. She was going to be in a 36 x 24 x 18 cage, with all the appropriate lighting and humidity etc. However, recently I have seen that there is a shortage of carpet chameleons, and so that as...

Hey so, I just bought a mist king to set up, I installed the bulkhead and filter, and put the plug in to test for leakage, but now the plug won't come out.

Hey, so I'm currently preparing an enclosure for my chameleon to come in August. I really want a hibiscus that will grow to be 1.5 or so feet tall. I have an Arcadia Jungle Dawn and all other appropriate lighting for chameleon but I've heard that Hibiscus do well with fertilizer? Is it safe to...

Sure, is that your website?

Sure, that would be much appreciated.

Right, I meant the baseline color that a carpet would be having. A lot of pictures are just them super fired up during the leadup of them laying eggs. I just wanted to see a picture of one as it would be for most of the year.

I will be honest. I did a few days of research on this which is not enough to claim any expertise, and like I said, we don't have much data on Chams so I extrapolated for other closely related species, but yeah I could definitely be wrong or have made errors in my work. I am a lover of science...

Thank you!

If you look them up online, you will see these beautiful pictures of super contrasting colors for females, like blacks, whites, reds, greens, purples and oranges. I'm just wondering if they actually look like that in their basal relaxed state or if that's them showing their gravid colorations...

No studies that I know of. Unfortunately, studies on chameleons are pretty sparse because results are hard to monetize. Cancer research, human research, even mammalian research, all of that is valuable to the government, but the government is pretty unlikely to fund a chameleon study, which is...

Thank you so much for the support and yes, the chemistry and cellular biology of chameleons is all very interesting. Crazy world we live in, but a beautiful one.
