She looks good. However, when we restrict an animals diet to prevent it from doing something it normally would, it seems to me that we are providing a sub-optimal diet. I do totally understand it's important to avoid over consumption for obesity and other health reasons. Does anyone know...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input. However I don't believe restricting food is as good a idea as many people seem to say it is. In my opinion it sounds tantamount to endorsing malnourishment. I do care about my chameleons very much, I should have probably phrased my question differently.

Sounds like you got ripped off. I would try to stop payment on whatever method you used to send the money. If a business doesn't ship within a day or two I won't do business with them.

If you think about it, humans are the real "dumb" animals. We kill each other on massive scale for no intelligent reason, we destroy the very environment that keeps us alive, we commit cruelty just for cruelty's sake. And I will now attempt to bite my tongue in regards to the intelligent...

I'm curious how often panther females should be bred that won't compromise their health.

Don't forget to use alternative means to impact the business. Google usually has reviews for businesses. Open a BBB complaint. If you post the business's name on these threads google will probably pick it up, etc. Etc.

I agree, I've never had a problem with any of my chams shedding properly.

Reptiles digest their food through absorbing heat. If your baby doesn't have enough heat he won't be able to digest his food properly. Also if it is too hot, he will die. You want a basking area that is the correct temp but you also want a gradient so he can cool off. It's more difficult with...

I've been thinking about setting up some light traps also. My guys love flying stuff.

I would love to see some pics of your set up if you have any. I'm hoping to raise some horn worms this summer.

I like to put the laying bins in their enclosure. I think it would be much more stressful to move them.

Easy to get a rough estimate- (total wattage of bulbs you will be using) X (hours per day they are on) X 30 (average month length) = Monthly watt use. Convert this into kilowatts and compare against the cost per kilowatt on the back of your utility bill. Other things add in to this...

It's best to buy them online- they are wayyyy expensive if you buy them local. Here a dozen crix costs about 1.50$ but you can order them online for 23$ shipped for 1,000. Full adult crix should last about a month. Younger crix should last their life span - 8-12 weeks minus however old they...

Get a hamster if you want to hold it. :) Chameleons are not the cuddly pet.

And unless it dries out completely each day and is cleaned every couple of days it will eventually cause some sort of bacterial infection.

While the aphids are harmless, I should have mentioned they can do serious damage to your plants.

Ya they definitely sound like aphids. No risk to your chameleon.

Did they promise you a certain size or weight? If not, you can't really judge anythings size unless there is some reference object in the picture.

And you should be giving her calcium.

Do you have plants in her enclosure?
