    What length of UVB bulb/fixture for a 48" wide tank?

    lol well I promise you I know my stuff when it comes to chameleons. ;) Run the UVB fixture in the middle of the cage from one side to the other. Place branches below that 8-9 inches down with a 5.0 or 6% bulb in a single bulb T5HO fixture sitting directly on the top screen. This will give the...

    Littlefoot & Mr. Jack photo dumps

    I can’t bear to watch that video. Will a fully grown mantis wipe out the pests or do you need their hatchlings? I know for soil gnats, I get mantis ootheca and let it hatch out inside my enclosures. Of course, my chams are very efficient at making sure no mantids survive long.

    Looking for any suggestions on a new cage!

    Hey there. You will want to adjust the size of the cage your setting up. An adult needs a 4 foot tall enclosure. 32 wide is great but the 16 inches deep is too shallow. Take it out to 24 or no less than 20 deep if you keep the width. Keep in mind fixture lengths... Might consider taking it to...

    Veiled chameleon color issue

    I've pasted in a form for you to fill out so I can comb through your husbandry and make sure all is well there. I'll also note that it would be most helpful to get pics of the entire set up, including the lights and how your chameleon looks. From this photo alone, and I really do hate to be the...

    My chameleon attacked me

    My dude is pretty shy, he doesn't try to hiss or bite me ever he usually just tries to go hide somewhere if he is upset. I also have noticed that anytime I wear red, he must think I'm going to eat him or something because he shrinks himself up and hides behind whatever branch he is on to break...

    Getting my first Chameleon ever!!

    Oh my! I did not even catch the water, very good eye. Chameleons don't exactly have the build to swim competently. 💦 Just look at their cute little mittens and you'll understand why! Beman always has sagely advice. For further information on how to get a thriving chameleon set up, please stop...

    It looks like the bottom is actually bioactive. If it is; the fans not really doing anything, you'd want the fan on the top of the screen pulling the air out... Welcome to the forum! I like the little glass balls with the pothos, that's a neat idea! I love that you had a call with Neptune and...

    Overweight?

    You're so right, he does act like he's starving. He'll get his silkworm, but then look at my fingers and show signs of readying to eat them 🥲 But I know veileds are notorious bottomless pits. Thank you so much for the very detailed regimen. I'll keep this thread updated as it might show people...

    How to stop this?

    Look to the end of my looonngg part 2. There’s a lot of places on line to get info about keeping chameleons, but very few to get the correct info. Of course, the forum is one and as you see, gives personalized feedback, individual help, understanding, etc...

    Chameleon Abdominal Mass

    Hello, I have a two year old, female veiled chameleon, Agnes. I am currently working with a vet, but also wanted to see if anyone here might have insights as to this x-ray. Does this look like a massive bowel impaction or something else? The vet was unable to say, and we are waiting on some...

    New chameleon owner

    I'm probably going to talk a lot, so buckle in. Fake plants: With a veiled chameleon, I just would not recommend them, especially due to the fact you've already caught your little baby attempting to munch on them. If they're plastic, it is exceedingly dangerous for them to eat and swallow this...

    Ideas about desynchronized hatching

    You said…”I have thought the temperature difference and the eggs not being in a clump all touching eachother could not be the reason because I see people put eggs in neat lines, apart from eachother, all the time for chameleons and all other reptiles. And they pretty much always are reported to...
