I had an email conversation with Mark Finke, a PhD nutritionist who has published some studies on the nutritional value of feeder insects, and got his permission to share my questions and his answers. Note that there’s a difference between gut loading and feeding feeders. Question: Do you think...

Hi, I'll source a new uvb bulb ASAP. I'm reading the chameleon academy bit by bit as it's a lot of info to digest! I have ordered some more branches and foliage already tho which should arrive today, and I'm going to source a lay bin pot and plant for her too. Temps have been lowered and I now...

Called my vet and the nurse/receptionist said to order the cream from chewy.com and they'd approve the prescription; just wanted to make sure that was okay for reptiles with you. https://www.chewy.com/silver-sulfadiazine-cream-1/dp/379019 Chewy tends to be more for dogs and cats, plus while my...

There are sticks, a temp gauge, the fake plant, and a tiny bowl that looks like a rock with water in it and the flooring is an eco carpet. We have thought about ordering his bugs online and breeding them ourselves, but we also have to talk to our parents about it, because we aren’t adults. Also...

I believe he’s around 3-4 months old. I haven’t really handled him unless absolutely necessary (bringing him home, setting up his enclosure). I’m using repti-calcium without D3. He was fed small crickets and meal worms at the store (ran out of crickets). I started with a few meal worms and...

How are you determining your temps at basking? I recommend a gauge with a probe hooked in at the branch below the heat. 27c is more of what I would shoot for since baby is young. With your UVB you need a measured distance from the bottom of the fixture to the branches below of 21-23cm. This...

- He’s a Veiled chameleon - I was told he hatched in January - The basking temp is 28-29C (from a 50W bulb) - I’m using Reptisun Terrarium hood T5 HO with Reptisun 5.0 UVB 24W - The distance to the closest branches is around 30cm - The flies I let walk around freely and he cathes them. The...

My Chameleon: 2.5 yr old Veiled Chameleon, Gender: Was technically unknown however the Vet and I suspected Female due to her appearance, and I've treated her as female for those years. Even had a lay bin in there up until last October. There is a reason for that but for another story time. She...

Of course. The bottle is a feeding bowl I made. The clear thing is where his bowl was before I had the feeder, but he liked to sit on it. Where he is now in the third pic is about where he has been basking the past month or so. He discovered that he can climb on the screen and has not stopped.

Well the issue with the chameleon I have is he is almost grown and he was wild caught so he knows nothing but hunting his food and when you put his food in a cup or Cricket run he ignores it he'll look at it and then go to other way so you people saying you have to have a Cricket Run or...

So I can understand not wanting to feed crickets... However this is going to depend on your baby. If it does not take to the new feeders then you will have to feed it what it knows. Typically the best way to transition a baby over to new feeders is to include those feeders it is already familiar...

Gotcha I’ll remove the water bowls then and thank you!!

i see the pheonix worms as not recommened nevermind

Thank you for the info and link! I’ll definitely read through that. I’m currently feeding small crickets in a small cloudy/clear container that meal worms come in and I’ve removed one of their back legs so they can’t jump out, but still move around a lot.

First off, sorry for posting a bunch of questions all the time lol. I recently posted about how my cham Irene started avoiding feeding from a bowl I sometimes hold up to her, and started to show dark colors and spots alot. This morning, I saw her sleeping nose pointed up and neck stretched back...

we will use a cup, tongs, or just set the insects around the cage so he can hunt them hes usally been confortable with all of that but he hasnt ate off the tongs at all recently so we have been putting them in his bowl and around the cage more

These little guys have been on my mind, and it would be fun to try a small breeding project. I've got a few questions about them, but first and thought I'd share this article I found. Is deparisitization necessary for Brookesia, or do breeders have success not bothering with it...

Oxylus (my cham) seems to wake up between 6-6:30AM. And he then moves to sit under his fogger. Once it cuts off, he slowly walks around some. Or goes to one of the sun beams coming through the window into his enclosure. Once I uncover him Do you mean the shower curtain in two sides, or are you...
