    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    Bare floor is best, unless you set up a true bioactive. Usually that is best left for after you get the hang of the basics, so bare floor for now.

    Does she look healthy including poop image

    ...overly interested in the dubias, she has also been eating silkworms and she's had 2 wax worms (as a treat) in 2 weeks, she is in a fully bioactive enclosure and she has been eaten a couple of small tiny flies, I just wondered if someone could let me know if she looks ok, I think the poop...

    Forum communities lately…

    You are and always will be the Bug Lord to me. 😁 I seriously learned a lot from you not just about bugs, but bioactive and just general stuff.

    Eggs on fern

    I found something on a fern leaf in my carpet chams Bioactive enclosure. It’s only on that leaf. Just wondering if i should remove it or leave it be and should i be concerned? It’s my first and only bioactive so im not too familiar with normal bugs and changes. I did add springtails and isopods...

    Fogging

    @ehdee6 also, Neptune the chameleon was delightful and so informative—-worth every penny and i plan to do a follow up phone call with her. I’d tag her but not sure how. Also, I did the hydroponic pothos at the top because I’m impatient and i want some vining leaves hanging down soon;)

    Bioactive plant variety

    I'm currently planning and designing a bioactive enclosure and I had some questions about plants. 1) on pretty much every "approved plants" list I've noticed that they are almost exclusively green leafy plants with very few other colors and almost no flowers. Is there a reason for this? 2)...

    Misting, how often?

    ...much. Say you live somewhere like AZ with low humidity and have screen or hybrid your misting sessions are going to be longer. Even with bioactive in a dry climate you may still need to run longer morning and evening mistings. Your misting length is also going to depend on your set up and...

    Remodeling enclosure after lost chameleon

    ...frame, and if you remove the screen from the side you’re covering, seal along the entire inside edges with silicone or hot glue. I love bioactive enclosures, and that’s a great guide! Just make sure to quarantine your next cham in a sterile cage (non bioactive and easy to clean) for at...

    My crickets keep dying. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks Skittles. I wish my chameleon would eat Dubia. There are still Dubias living in his bioactive terrarium from like 3 months ago when I last tried to get him to eat them. Am I feeding the crickets correctly? Should I give them any other foods?

    Long Overdue Greenhouse Pictures!!

    ...notes. After that I have had the policy of not keeping delicate chameleon species until I solve the problem even though the greenhouse is bioactive. I am only keeping Furcifer pardalis and Trioceros jacksonii ssp. since they are hardy species and plants lots of plants. Thanks much. Best...

    Bioactive Feeder Bin?

    Hello all, Bioactive stuff is new since I last kept chams 10 years ago. I’ve seen some things on bioactive roaches, but is anyone keeping their crickets in bioactive bins? Mainly asking because this will be my first round of keeping since I got married and I need to figure out how to keep...

    The dreaded gnats...

    My gnat issue was so out of control in the Cham room that I had to wear a mask or I’d breath them in. It was a huge issue lmao. GF(now wife) was not chill about that. #gnatcompetition

    ‘Spoiling’ my sweet old lady

    Only strange for people who haven’t ever been on the forum. 😂 I’ve never thought to look. She’s in a bioactive enclosure, so her clean up crew takes care of the poops. Plus, her regular poo spot is half behind her lay bin, so it’s a bit hidden. I’ll try to see what I can see today though.

    is my chameleon adapting okay?

    ...think. A veterinary wellness visit is needed in order to have the vet run the fecal test. Another area I agree is unless you are full bioactive, with adequate separated drainage layer and clean up crew, no substrate on the bottom is best. I do hope I’ve been of some help. If you have any...

    New to chameleons

    that is a very good Idea and I will probably try that for hanging plants. I found some hacks and stuff for installing the wood supports because they are relativly light. but I have been wondering what to use for hanging plants and I will try that. thanks

    Urine smell

    yes have some spagnum moss around plants base on bottom but not much. I think I will just need to wipe down the large leaves that seem to be collecting the urine and feces

    When can I start using substrate?

    Hi. As has been said already, bare floor is best unless you are going fully bioactive. Bioactive is great, but it takes some work setting up and it isn’t right for everyone.
