    Outdoor Jackson Socal?

    Southern California has many climates and they will not all sustain xantholophus. It works well at the coast and becomes progressively more challenging as you get further away. In recent years we have been seeing many more days over 100F and higher temperatures when it does go above 100F. It is...

    Pronunciation….

    I say it differently every time. I confuse myself on this!

    Pronunciation….

    oh, I have thought of this many times! But the problem is that there are so many variations. We were having this debate in the early 2000s and I got a recording of an actual Malagasy saying Nosy Be and it was No-see Bay. I think it would be a good episode. I just need to be savvy enough to...

    Brookesia Introduction

    This week I had Michael Nash (@javadi ) on the podcast and we talked about his experience with the number of Brookesia species he is working with. As he is breeding them he is the rare individual that can discuss their entire lifecycle. This week was a podcast episode, but Michael then came on...

    Female or male

    I think the website part he read was about stress and handling! As for sexing, @johndlcham I would suggest you let it grow up a bit before making too many plans. If a male is what you want i think you will be happy with the end result. Just give him a little bit of time to prove himself to you!

    Foggers, Pothos, and everything in between!

    I don't think the floor is going to be too much of a contributing factor. I think you are on the right track with adjusting the misting and fogging schedule

    Foggers, Pothos, and everything in between!

    Unless you have a draft under the cage which is drawing the fog down I don't think drainage holes would have anything to do with it. If you have a picture could you post it? I can't imagine a scenario where drainage holes drilled in PVC on the floor would be the issue, but maybe I just don't...

    Foggers, Pothos, and everything in between!

    The DIY fogger that James and I were talking about has the capability to produce more fog than the Leap because you can put in multiple fogging disks if you choose. The Leap has one disk. James did it with one disk. I had a five disk unit at the time so I was creating a serious cloud! But I am...

    Foggers, Pothos, and everything in between!

    Welcome to This Chameleon Life! In this week's Chameleon Hour video I took you along with me as I fueled up with some Chameleon Cold brew. I did not realize the controversy this would cause. I thought there was concern tht I was drinking cold brew concentrate directly and the intensity of...

    Are all houseplants safe for chameleons?

    You are going to find that chameleons will be ignoring the standard plant toxicity lists. It would be best not to make sweeping statements about plant toxicity for chameleons until you actually document or even see an issue. Schefflera has been used for decades without an issue. Pothos should be...

    Critical Thinking: Should We Give Chameleons Water Cups?

    Although I can see how that technically might happen I wouldn't be concerned about my chameleon slipping and falling if I wanted to use this hydration method. I would chalk that up to freak accident and make sure the size glass I used wouldn't increase the chances of this happening. Once again...

    Critical Thinking: Should We Give Chameleons Water Cups?

    It sounds like in the way you set it up that you feel offering them a cup was pretty effective, maybe even more effective than your misters if I read that right? I would love to see your set-up and hear what kind of hydration regimen you use now.

    Critical Thinking: Should We Give Chameleons Water Cups?

    It is a very complicated subject. It wouldn't do the chameleon community justice to give blanket statements and no explanation. That is why podcasts are such a great medium. You can really dive into a subject. I think that listening to the episode might answer your question. I do not believe...

    Critical Thinking: Should We Give Chameleons Water Cups?

    I have seen a picture of them drinking from a puddle. I think the community has gotten so wrapped up in saying that they can't recognize still water that when someone shows a picture of them drinking from a cup it is seen as revolutionary. Chameleons are survivors and they can adapt. So it...

    Critical Thinking: Should We Give Chameleons Water Cups?

    Whenever we are presented with a new idea our first reactions are often either to reject it because it would be too much work to think about changing or to get unnaturally excited with the feeling of being on the cutting edge of techniques. And so it is useful to have a standard by which we will...

    Keep Your Chameleon Plants Alive! - Chameleon Hour

    Having a separate watering system for your plants is a great idea. Hooking a watering system up tot he misting system has the danger of over watering. The misting overhead isn't as big of an issue because pothos gets so full that sometimes very little of that water gets to the soil. But a direct...
