Sorry if this is the wrong space to ask, it looks like I don’t have permission to post in the relevant part of the forum. Does anyone know of any reputable Jackson’s chameleon breeders? I’m in Southern California if that matters. Thanks!

I totally get what you’re saying but I don’t know if it’s fair to fault the buyer. Sure, it’s ignorant, but the average person there doesn’t understand that closed eyes in the daytime means a serious issue is going on. These big stores will always have buyers who don’t go on these forums and who...

Oh my god, thank you for the warning! I search every plant on Planta and online and for some reason thought that specific ivy was fine. I’ll remove it right now! I have an opaque sheet held up with magnets up top but the very bottom of the enclosure is open as they don’t typically go down...

Oh man I just checked out their website and I am going to be dropping a lot of money there! Thanks for that hahaha! I keep wanting to impulse-build/decorate new enclosures. Is yours bioactive? Your enclosure style is 100% the goal!

Woke up and smelled fire as soon as I started going downstairs, I thought I’d somehow beefed it with my enclosure power strip! I freaked out, woke my partner and our son up and ran to check that everything was ok. Well, we left our balcony screen door cracked and I saw this right away...

I definitely won’t be getting any babies any time soon but for my panther and veiled (both adults, luckily!) I have attached a photo of the setup and I get my UVI 3.0 read at the top perches where they are basking. I think lowering them would reduce the amount of UV and I think they are in the...

Got it, thank you so much for your input! I went with the one UVB and got a Jungle Dawn LED bar for the plants in each enclosure.

Good idea, thank you so much! I’m glad I’m on the right track!

Is there a downside to using 2 or more T5 HO Arcadia 6% bulbs in a single 24x24x48 enclosure? I feel like the UVI 3 zone is so limited to that single perch under that linear single T5 bulb where my chameleons get that proper exposure and was wondering if putting 2 bulbs at separate areas on the...

I was just thinking that!

This is incredible! Do you mind sharing the materials you made this out of? I’m having a huge centerpiece custom enclosure made and we are trying to redesign a little right now. Beautiful stuff!

I recently added a few more plants to give some more hides for my boys. I’m comfortable with Stick’s enclosure (on the right) but wondering if I overplanted Frank’s (on the left) or both? Stick is a panther and Frank is a veiled, both adults now. I’m guessing it’s because of the newness of the...

He’s beautiful! You did a great job searching for the right information and doing right by him! He’s very lucky to have you caring for him :)

Amazing, thank you so much! I had one more question! Do you recommend a plant light as well? I bought a Sansi plant light for their cages but haven’t used it yet because I wasn’t sure. I’ve seen a lot of people use them though.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m a big Reddit lurker and naturally went to r/chameleons for advice. I even paid one of the main mods to do a husbandry review for my animals so that I could be sure I had it right. My partner and I were side-eyeing a lot when we kept noticing sick chameleon after...

I can’t begin to thank you enough for all of your input and how thorough it is! This is incredibly helpful and super kind of you to take the time for us! Thank you so so so much! I just ordered the Repashy Calcium Plus LoD supplement. I just gave them the herptivite 3 days ago, is there a...

Here are fecal/urate pics for Frank as of this morning: I’m more than happy to make a Frank thread but I just saw Beman’s response so I’ll wait on that too!

Thanks for the sweet words and the warm welcome! I realized I kind of derailed my own thread with the tangent into Frank’s situation so if it’s better for me to make a different thread with a specific request for his help then let me know! There hasn’t been any more of Stick’s mystery film and...

CAGE INFO Both enclosures have the same setup: • Dimensions: 2 x 2 x 4’ (vertical) • Type: Hybrid (screen with acrylic panel on door); Frank’s is all screen • Lighting: Zoomed Reptisun T5 HO linear reflective housing with a single Arcadia Forest 6% bulb for UVB; 120w frosted incandescent light...
