I'd be going out and purchasing some hose pipe about now and beating 7 shades of shit outa him with it.... (Leaves no bruises y'see)

Set this test up... (Control) At feeding time Place a cricket on a branch and measure the time taken till it gets eaten (First test) At feeding time Turn on all lights Place a single cricket on the screen top See how long it takes for the cricket to get eaten... (2nd test) At feeding time...

After putting my cfl bulb on the side of the enclosure she has been zapping the crickets off the roof no problems.... I had a funny feeling when I put that flash light on them It's a case of glare I think..that's why old fighter pilots flew toward the sun it's so their attacked could not see...

I may have figured out my downfall I was using a therm/hydro combo digital readout for my humidity and basking spot....so my humidity always looked Low... I put an analog hydrometer in the lower half of the cage in the shade and its sitting at 70 steady now for almost 3and a half hours... I also...

I've had her approximately 2 weeks. I'm still in the panicky stage....she was a rescue from where I work...some idiot picked her off a branch and ripper off her toe nail...got infected....was medicating her and helping it heal at work then brought her home once it looked much better...her entire...

Yeah she noms some of the crickets on the branches and leaves. I'm having a hell of a time keeping humidity but that's a different thread hahaha. Mine all pack up in the edges and corners and she just ignores them....I even have difficulty spotting the chirpers through the glare of the light...

I made an observation tonight, curious if I'm somewhat right or just stabbing in the dark. Tonight I turned off my Jackson's (Neera's) lights to get some nice pictures on her lovely green and yellow coloring. All was well until I turned the flashlight (dual LED flash) so I could get the...

I've read and read ...most frustrating thing is contradicting information...most information says lower temps and higher humidity....that in itself is a contradiction.... Over had the temp inside up to around 85 on top and 70 down below....that was when she was active and hunting crickets...

Soooooo will the incandescent work better than a whopping great 100w infrared bulb? That just baffles me.....

This is Neera :) love her to bits and want to make her the happiest little chameleon in the world!

It is intact sitting on top but I've never seen her up there. I'll move it tonight. If I'm honest I'm freaking out because I "rescued" her and heard horror stories. I'm still building up her enclosure... I've got a couple branches in there n stuff not much foliage yet....but soon... I'm...

I'm using the XL mesh enclosure from ZooMed (24x24x48) and I have a 13w compact cfl for UVB and a 100w infrared heat bulb but I can't get the temps high enough maybe 74max and 72 lower down in the enclosure... I'm just worried about her sensitivities ... she's eating by the looks of...

That looks great, I've been a lurker here for a while but i saw your branches and i wanna know what they are! i need things like that...my cage is looking sad.. :-/
