I've had my blue bar ambilobe for about a year now (a year this month actually) but he seems to be getting progressively worse. my first concern is that his right eye is shut a lot of the time but his left isn't. the shut eye is slightly sunken in but he opens it all the time as if its fine but...

i was trying crickets but i was watching him spit them out as soon as he grabbed them and started hunting the silkworms. i've ordered some horned small horned worms to try out

so i just got my chameleon a few days ago and he is doing great! my only question is that since he is a baby how much should he eat? I've been feeding him 1/4- 1/2 inch silk worms and hes been eating them like crazy. i normally just get anywhere from 5-8 and put them in different places in his...

ok thank you. you do mean run the humidifier in the room correct? sorry if im over analyzing just want to make sure i clearly understand

i have an umbrella tree and a ficus tree though. the only artificial part is the vines :( and those plants practically fill up the whole enclosure

i have an automatic mister that is on a 3 hour cycle and spray's for one minute at a time. i don't have a really good thermometer/humidity monitor but it says that my humidity level is just 25% and i need it around 40%. tips anyone?

so was wondering what i should use for my pinhead gut load i was thinking collard greens, carrots, orange slices, and bee pollen. any more suggestions? i know i need a grain so does anyone have any recommendations on that? thanks for the help :)

do i need to dust my silkworms with a calcium supplement before feeding it to my cham since they are already so high in calcium?

yes! that's exactly what i was wanting! you guys are life savers for newbies like me in the cham world lol. should i put some things near it to attach to? not live items but maybe an artificial branch or 2

i was thinking about getting some pothos ivy for my terrarium is it safe for chameleons?

so i ordered an automatic mister for my terrarium should i still use a drip to water my cham?

i really want to get some live plant for my terrarium but i was primarily wondering that since it wont be getting much direct sunlight will the uvb bulb and indirect sunlight be enough to sustain the plants or should i get a separate light that is uva? thanks again:)

going to get silkworms and crickets as a staple for my cham after reading some but the web site says that you do not have to gut load silk worms? anyone else hear this info?

oh thank you for forwarding me to that it was very helpful. so my next question is the calcium supplement. it is going to be a panther chameleon and i was thinking i would feed him calcium dusted insects 5 days a week and use a multi vitamin dusting once a week and go natural the last day and...

thanks for all the great feed back it helps a lot. im getting a panther chameleon but sadly cant decide between a blue bar ambilobe or a nosy faly. decisions decisions
