A couple questions: What is bsfl? Black Soilder Fly Larve I have three sensors in my enclosure right now, what is considered the basking area? The basking area is the warmest spot in your enclousre right under your heat lamp. You'll want to make sure that it gets no hotter than 80 degrees...

See my answers below in bold: So humidity and temp. I try to keep her basking stick sitting around 80 degrees F. Beautiful. Don't let it get any warmer than 80. What are her ambient temps in her enclosure? Humidity is slightly challenging here in Wyoming. I assume it prolly sits around 40%...

If you are using a 12% T5HO bulb then your uvi should be much higher 4 inches below the fixture. You would be seeing levels above 13 UVI easily at that distance. So either you do not have a T5HO fixture and bulb, the bulb is too old, the bulb is not working, or your screen material is too dense...

thanks for the thoughts, No, I haven't been trying to peel the scales. He does get Rep-Cal herptivite multivitamins 2-3X/mo, calcium every feeding, D3 calcium 2-3X/mo. UVB lighting is the long T5 bulb and is about 5-6 months old. I don't have a UV tester, but I assume they're still new enough...

I’m the one that chooses the sickest looking in the pet store to give it a chance, so I may not be the right one to answer this. However, you should know by now what a healthy chameleon looks like - eyes open and alert, all limbs straight and moving, scales clear and clean, tail curls well...

Thank you!! It took a lot of time, but was totally worth it 😍 YES! I saw them and was like these are perfect for a free range setup. The discount code only works until the 28th for anyone who wants to use it. I still have to figure out how to best provide the plants some light. I'm thinking LED...

Thank you! See my responses below in bold :) Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? F1 Ambilobe Panther chameleon, male, 9mo old. I’ve had him for two weeks. Congratts! Chameleons are so much fun :) Handling - How often do you...

Thank you so much! I just purchased the supplements, so that’ll be adjusted in the next couple days and I’ll start working on the watering schedule this weekend and get back to this thread with updates. How do I get him tested for parasites? Does anyone know of any reptile vets in the Boston...

Haha no I get it. That's why I posted this here, to get feedback! I don't take offense to it, I'm sure you all see the same mistakes again & again. So as you can imagine, I sealed the cage up to retain humidity & a bit of heat. Right now where I live in Canada, its a stark contrast from last...

Would I still need to lower the UVB if his enclosure isn’t four feet tall? I have an enclosure a bit shorter and longer. We had a vet appointment today where they flushed his eyes even though it was just the one eye, and gave me eye drops for both of them, again, even though it was just his...

So with the T5HO fixture which UVB bulb strength? What is the distance to the branch from the bottom of the fixture? Is it a single bulb T5 fixture? For the heat bulb you can not use the red bulbs with chams they are bad on their eyes... You want a regular incandecent white bulb. 100 watt at a...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Jackson’s, about 1.5 yrs according to the guy at the expo and I’ve had him for exactly a week today! Handling - Only when adjusting his setup. I’m waiting another week or two to start trying to lure him into coming onto my finger with bugs for the rare...

I honestly think your wattage is going to depend a lot on your distances. For those of you that have a bulb directly on screen. Using a higher wattage bulb can be dangerous because when the unit kicks on it will run at full power until it starts getting close to the set temp and starts dimming...

When she was born, she never looked at anything, but her eyes moved normal. Example: I can wave items Infront of her and she would not react. I do have videos of all her changes and someday will learn how to download to share. 1. The feeding process is complicated since the first month and a...

Sometimes it helps to hear what someone else is seeing/hearing, so let me share my thoughts. I feel like I am hearing a lot of shaming from your chameleon passing. What you have shared so far with your husbandry you actually have a lot of things right and are doing a good job. Take the...

So I have something to weigh my reptiles and I use it mostly to track my baby geckos progress in growth but I tried to do it for my cham and could not get a good reading at all he would grab onto the tray that comes with the scale and I’d get super off readings because of it idk how everyone...

Awesome, glad I have a good variety thank you :) Okay I’ll start to cut back on it, how would you advise doing this? Keeping the days but reducing the amount? Or reducing the days but keeping the same amount? Don’t want to starve him while I’m not at home to make sure he isn’t nibbling on the...

Yup, the splinters out. It was only in the layer right behind the scales, nothing deep into her. I do not have silver sulfadiazine but will pick some up right away! I am taking her to my regular vet tomorrow for her to check it out and go over what was prescribed. Good to know about the...

Sorry for the delay…had a lot of stuff to accomplish. Thank you! She is a bit of an odd ball because she is pretty friendly with me, my sweet girl. Whenever I open her cage she is always reaching for me to do a little crawl before going back inside. Enjoy her sweetness as it may change as she...

Agreed - wouldn't do so either. What have I done to suggest that somehow if my animal looked to be suffering from the effects of UVB of any level, that I wouldn't implement changes to correct those symptoms? Never said that either. Asked why we shouldn't be following the Ferguson scale at...
