That's what my problem seems to be. It only uses 40 watts of the supposed 60 because it is energy saving. but i went out and got a probe digital thermometer and the temp seems to be steady at 85 so it seems my gun was giving a wrong reading. I will leave it as is and will continue to monitor the...

That's what I'm going to try next, a 75 watt.

When Camilo had a reptile brand heat bulb he was in the low 90s, and given the advice that it should be less than 85 degrees I got him a 60 watt equivalent incandescent bulb and the temp was reading 80. Then I got a 100 watt bulb to see if I could raise the temp a bit and it was making it way to...

I've lowered the basking branch to 9 inches now. I tried a 100 watt bulb and it would've cooked Camilo, it was so hot at almost 100 degrees where his head would be. I quickly turned it off and will be keeping my 60 watt bulb, even if it is on the lower 80s. Better to play it safe. Thanks again!

thanks for that thorough explanation! I'll the getting a probe thermometer soon to have as well as my gun one.

so pretty!

I got him in June but I believe he may be 8 months or a little older.

I have a male veiled chameleon named Camilo, and he has been using a reptile bulb for basking but I was told at 90 degrees it was too hot for him. I then went out and got a 60 watt household bulb but now the temp on the basking branch reads at 75 degrees. The basking branch is about 6 inches...

I was hoping for a new video. I've watched all your videos several times and love your channel so much. I already have a veiled I rescued but if I had been given the choice from watching your video and seeing how cool Neptune's colors are, I would have gone for a panther chameleon. I love my...

I just got my first order of them from thecritterdepot.com and they were well packaged and arrived alive. Also they offer free shipping and I believe they are a site sponsor as well.

Well I just got a little monitor camera which I'll use to spy on Camilo and hopefully then I'll be able to see him in action.

Oh that's a great idea! I am building a pond for a RES turtle rescue about 10 inches in length! Maybe she can dispose of them!

Oh sounds simple enough. I'll give it a try. I cannot believe I am even considering this due to an intense cock roach phobia! I'm trying to think of these guys as a totally different insect to be able to deal with them.

Should I still attempt to feed the smaller ones?

Any idea where I can find info on how to breed?

I ordered 20 discoids to kinda get my feet wet with them and they came super big. 3 of them seem to be adult sized! I am concerned they are to big for my chameleon. My question is, if the roaches are too big will my chameleon spit them back out or try to choke himself with them? How can I tell...

I received my BSFL order today and all seem alive and well. Camilo loved them.

Love the look. Ugh I suck at enclosure designing. mine just looks like an unkempt jungle.

It's pretty intimidating ?

Thank you so much!
