    Dubia roaches

    Sorry, you won't find that same product at a home-improvement store. We bought it from Dupont Chemical - in a large drum. There are some folks that have similar products - perhaps even someone that is currently getting it the way we did. Have you checked on Kingsnake? Or try a Google search...

    Hanging Potted plants question(s)

    I think I tried using a hanging plant in 2002, and found that it didn't work well at all. :) In all the larger cages like you described, we have found that 10" sitting plants work best. There are some great bushy, tree-like plants you can use for chams. If you hang too much plant at the...

    building a new home for veiled cham... ideas??

    Our male veiled chameleons are housed in 24 x 24 x 48 enclosures. My husband built them from cedar and used hardware cloth for the screening. The solid wood bottom has a plastic liner (we found 24"x24"x2" drip pans at a hydroponics supply). Excess moisture can be suctioned out or a drain can be...

    Waterfalls: /

    For our "house lizards" we use the water jugs too - got a row of 20 - 1gal plastic AZ tea jugs. We refill them as we use them and they go to the back of the row... they average close to 48 hours before getting used again. It's such a simple system. :) ~Morgana

    Waterfalls: /

    It may not add exciting new info, but I want to add our experiences. We have used almost every water delivery method - stopping short of waterfalls. We babysat for a cham that had a waterfall in his cage, and I removed; scrubbed and Nolvasan'd that thing daily. It was waaaaaay too much work...

    Phoenix Worms

    We feed our chams a few kinds of butterflies - but I think there are some that can be toxic. We usually feed the small white ones. House flies... (Musca domestica) - try getting some here: http://www.dartfrog.co.uk/livefoods.html Hope that helps, ~Morgana

    Phoenix Worms

    I think you should start the book! I have "pet store info" to contribute. We tried Phoenix worms - since we have so many critters, our first order was 1000. Half arrived black; dead; or dying. The rest... well most ended up getting eaten by the beardies. The chams could have cared less - I...

    Dean, We had a WC male Tamatave that tagged me and ripped my finger wide open... still have the scars! He was a terror.... here is a pic: We purchased him from BeBe just after the company split. Cymaron was with us for a good long time too. Unfortunately we only found one tamatave...

    Our guys

    Julirs, Funny you should mention the size of your oustalet... We got one 3 years ago (a bit lighter in color than the one in the pictures). We had another vendor walk up to our booth at a trade show and practically throw one at us. He said he couldn't sell it - nobody wanted a brown...

    Blood after mating

    Just noticed this thread and thought I would add our experiences with this topic... We actually have seen a lot of this - spots of blood when breeding. We have seen it with chameleons, bearded dragons, and blue-tongue skinks (the most). The first time was with a mating pair of sambavas...

    its a date

    We have raised/bred veiled chams for years and have seen that neon coloration on lots of healthy young females. Yours is quite lovely. The typical receptive coloration of a veiled female includes hundreds of robin-egg blue dots. This is a visual flag to males. Once they are gravid, most of...

    Help plz! my panther is havin some eye troubles:(

    Bucky, I agree with Dave: the other info is needed to help determine what else may be wrong. However, as time is always a big factor in getting a cham some help, I truly think the best avenue at this juncture is a vet visit. ~Morgana

    Help plz! my panther is havin some eye troubles:(

    I'd place him near where the drops are falling to start. Try to encourage him to stay in that spot for the duration. It won't do much good if he can't get moisture in his eyes - as well as be stimulated to drink. When they get dehydrated, the eyes lose lubrication, and the showering helps...

    Dubia roaches

    Well, we've never taken pictures of the roach bins... Basically it is a box made from melamine (particle board covered in plastic). The top is open (but we have a plexiglass lid). The box sits on a board that has casters mounted underneath. Why use the extra platform? Well, between the...

    Veiled cage too big

    We have had a lot of herping friends and customers who express concern about buying cages for their young chameleon. They figure if they purchase a cham at 3 months, he will need 2 more cages before he is an adult. We agree with them. However - we figured out the FIX: Purchase the size cage...
