I would agree we are probably feeding too much. The same can be said for humans and is more than likely a universal concept that periods of fasting are very beneficial and is the easiest way to extend lifespan.

I have sort of a paludarium for my fire bellied toad enclosure. No soil aspect, so it’s more of an island setup with half-submerged logs and rocks serving as the “island”. It is heavily “planted” (River rock bottom, no real substrate) with aquatic and semi aquatic plants (anacharis, Java moss...

I am absolutely wrecked. I brought Charlie out to free range this morning and found a small thermal burn on at least three of his back scales. He is in the process of shedding so I really can’t tell if other scales are affected, but it is definitely limited to the crest of his back. I feel...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, Female (i think) I've had her since August 4th 2020 Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Rarely unless to take her outside with me Feeding - 1/2" Banded Crickets from Josh's Frogs (i called them and asked what size i should do and...

Thanks. Here's what I can tell you right now: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Nosy Be Panther, 6 month old male. We have had him since the end of July. He was 3 months at the time. He was 4 g when we got him. He was 10.7 today. Slow growing for sure Handling - He actually really likes...

Yess I knew someone here had good info thank you so much!

Haha thank you!! It wont have the sheer scale of my previous build, but I plan to pack as much as I possibly can in a small space! I also decided to pretty up Lily's Full Throttle feeder, just cause. I'm half asleep, so it didnt occur to me until after I already had foam on it that it won't...

4g seems a little on the small side for 3 months, though it's not too abnormal. For reference, my hatchlings are usually 0.5 g, females averaged 12-15g at 3 months, and males were 15-20ish. I did have a particularly small female who was 5g at 3 months, but she was 18g by 6 months old. I'm sure...

On this aspect I have also been looking into the booming " pet Insect" market. Where most of these are larger, and could probably kill a chameleon, they would not make great feeders. It is their husbandry and variety I am interested it. Right now, as an insect, you are either: A : prolific...

Thank you so so so so MUCH

@bigboujeechameleonlover I am going to go through your help form adding info to each section. I will be repeating what others have already said as well. But this may help you keep it all a bit more organized for easier understanding. See feedback in red bold. :) Chameleon Info: Your...

Well to be fair, Petr wasn't alone in my realization in this dept. He was a factor, as was our talk the other day, Kaizens Blog, the Fact that Flukers even sells the "Dread Orange Cubes" whilst raising millions of crickets every week. Just a combination of factors. I know Repashy breaks it down...

"most" T5 HO bulbs will be 5000, an normalize to 4500 (aka its a bath tub scale and they will eat 10% of light output very quickly and then none at all till death) "most" T5 HO led retro fits (and by retro fit i mean you dont have to take the hood apart vs the retro fits that you just reroute...

how should i go about weighing him? i have a kitchen scale that i use to weigh my mice, i’m sure he won’t want to just stand on it and i don’t really have anything he can perch on that isn’t secured into his cage

Hello! Thanks for allowing me to join! Our new veiled, Tarzan, is just over a year (we think) and is a beautiful big guy for his species. He was bred by a breeder (so not purchased from a big box pet store) and we got him from a small local shop here in Wisconsin about 2 weeks before...

Ok just re listened and re read this https://www.chameleonbreeder.com/podcast/ep-89-naturalistic-hydration-for-chameleons/ @DeremensisBlue Here is an excerpt from it directly talking about over hydration. So now I guess we are at a point of what is too much? In my case it is too much based on...

And again thank you for facts. I was surprised by the fact of ground insects. The I realized I had not considered their place in the canopy, as it were. But yea any chameleon living closer to the ground, like a bush, they would be exposed to more. They don't all live high int tree tops.

That’s interesting... lady bugs had a fair representation in that survey. I thought lady bugs were highly toxic (of varying degrees by species). I’ll have to do some more research around that, as ladybugs are highly beneficial in the greenhouse, and I’d be thrilled to find a species I can...

I do not speak about bioactivity as I am a great friend of it there, where it makes sense ut not so much where it does not. Besides of all positives, which I will not list now, there are some serious constraints, I point out: 1. (biggest issue) due to the dact, most mept xhameleons are strictky...
