As I stated and other have commented, chicken feed is for chickens and can contain too many vitamins for chamelons, as can alfalfa pellets marketed for rodents as a complete diet. Aside from chicken feed being full of too many vitamins, it is composed of indigestible fillers and grains that...

Yes, 3 days a week they get 60mins of actual misting, spread out over an hour and 45 mins. One day I do 2x 10 mins and the other days of the week get 3x 3 mins.

Here’s my male, directly under the nozzle, where he has been for over an hour.

Many months ago, I invested $17 each on Broadlink digital smart timers, from Amazon.com. They link up to your smart phone and are effortless to program, with endless programming options, unlike the complicated and limiting MistKing timers. They are easy to connect to the MistKing pump, with out...

Hibiscus are very problem prone, mostly due to low light levels. Some varieties, and l’m not an expert in hibiscus hybrids, are better than others, but overall they are prone to spider mite, mealy bugs, chlorosis, and weak, spindly growth. l tossed my hibiscus and l have much more lighting than...

No definitive breeding events, but my female is basking more frequently, eating quite a bit, and displays of the male is in proximity. l expect she may be soon to lay her first infertile clutch. l did not cycle them, though the male slowed his eating down considerably, during the Winter and was...

Just some updated shots

l like to provide information on pesticide use privately, so l can assess all variables and the person’s understanding of the treatment. l don’t chameleons harmed by inappropriately used chemicals and horticultural pests are becoming resistant to pesticides, from overuse, just as bacteria are...

The Arthropods will not rot your wood, unless they are species that consume rotting wood. The animal waste will break down and should be odorless after a day or two from passing from the Chameleon. It will be visible for quite a while as it breaks down, but if that bothers you, you can turn it...

There are effective pesticides that, when used properly and aloud to dry, then throughly rinsing, will kill mealy bugs and be safe for use with the chameleons afterwards. Pests often result from not having an ideal growing environment in the first place. Typically, the plants we use in...

The PlantTone you used is a starter fertilizer and more importantly; it “seeds” the planting bed with the microbes that will break down waste and fertilizer into useable forms for the plants. In 8 weeks, I’d scratch some osmocote for indoor plants into the top 2/3 of the planting mix. Other than...

Repashy has hornworm chow now and I️ like the idea that it is plain to see what it is in it and it’s not full of chemical preservatives.

Whether you use a drop or Reptivite shouldn’t matter. Both options achieve the same thing.l think powdered supplements are easier to deal with.

l agree that PREformed A does not come from vegetable matter and is gained by consuming other Arthropoda and small vertebrates. I’ve never seen a clinical representation of HYPERvitaminosis A, but have seen many instances explained by lack of Vitamin A or PROformed A. Those who have success...

Herptevite does NOT contain PREformed A.

A google image search will give you way better pictures than l have.

Yes, PREformed A is already A and not beta carotene. Some people use cod liver oil capsules and squirt a drop on their feeders twice a month and others use powdered supplements with A in them. A is stored in the liver and can be overdosed, which is why it is only given on occasion and sparingly...

l think your Chameleon shouldn’t be short changed the last 3rd of the enclosure and you should suspend the dome lights over it and allow access to the top 1/3 of the enclosure. Your lighting is pretty dim and most plants will suffer under such low light. A pothos plant, I’m a hanging post should...
