Ok so I ended up testing the bulb outside of the cage using a clamp lamp and a temp gun and it gives off more heat than I thought. Original surface temp: 63.68f 5 inch: 70.7f 10 inch: 66.74f His heat lamp is set to turn off soon and I'll test it in the cage before he falls asleep to see how...

My lil man likes to bask under them but I feel like they don't give off too much heat.

I have one. Will check tomorrow as it is currently off for night time. :)

Thanks If all goes well I'm hoping a vet at a nearer branch will be willing to administer the next dose in two weeks. If not, they've agreed to let me take a pre-filled syringe and do it myself. I hope it doesn't come to that though and fingers crossed this lil man will be eating like a pig...

Hey Pretty sure I bought those exact vines or at least something very similar. When I took them out of the package the smell of plastic and chemicals was so strong I decided to use them as decoration outside of the cage instead. The leaves also drop off of it pretty easily Edit: I got these...

Thanks again! Looking into Oxfendazole it doesn’t seem to be highly toxic and the vet emailed me back with reassurances that Parafend has no side effects associated and used widely on a range of animals. I probably wrote it wrong in my rant but yeah, they did measure him to make sure that the...

So turns out I need to find a different vet. Unfortunately the one I went to gave me lots of misinformation, tried to hold the chameleon badly and even grabbed a hold of his tail. Then asked if my lil guy was definitely a male and despite me saying yes, referred to him as a she throughout the...

Guess I’ll see what they say tomorrow and hopefully they can be more specific about what’s positive in the sample so I know how to proceed. Not sure if I can kill the locusts and crickets I have mind as just the thought makes me feel guilty. I might end up with separate bug pets which will be...

Brill thank you. I will have a good look through all of those. He has a spare reptibreeze and some vines from his free range that will require less cleaning so I can pop him in there while I deep clean the other. I've kind of being doing both. I order online from a large reptile shop in my...

Hey, thank you for the help. I guess I will hopefully find out more information about what specifically they found tomorrow. So all wood I should bin? What about plants? If I replace the soil and scrub down the leaves & branches would that disinfect them enough? I use this...

Hello Everyone. I’m currently at work so will fill in the full help form and post pictures when I get home, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions please. As I’m taking my cham to the vet tomorrow morning and want to be as informed as possible. Sorry for the essay...

I'm no expert by any means, but I meant that you could try adding a little water to the ground dry silkworm and see if it sticks to live feeders for an added nutrient boost? I've had mixed results with the Arcadia powder and I'm not sure I would recommend, but if you already have a supply you...

Hey So while I’ve not ground up specific bugs myself, I’ve had mixed results with Arcadia insecti gold, which has ground up bugs along with other ingredients. Basically I use the powder with a bit of water to make a kind of gel that I thinly add to live feeders that then add the movement...

Hey. Super late reply, sorry! Thanks for the reassurance. :) Honestly everyone that knows me thinks I’ve gone loony and I can’t say I blame them haha. I’ve changed things around since my last post and brought most of his ropes up higher on the walls using a great deal of no nails hooks. He now...

Hello all So I’ve had my 7/8 month old Panther chameleon for over 2 months now. Here is a link regarding his general set up. Basically I hate him being cooped up in a cage and so whenever I am around to watch him, I like to ‘free range’ him around a jungle gym set up I have . I live in rented...

hey I'm also from England and I use the Northampton reptile centre. so far everything has been great. they even offer a subscription service. not sure how the prices compare as I've not really shopped around but I've been happy so far :)

My lil' guy is a 7month-ish (not entirely sure) red bar. He's full of attitude and only cares for exploring right now.

Pretty sure Chameleons are an invasive species to Florida? I'm not sure if you are meant to report them or not, or what would happen if you did though?

Hello Depends on whereabouts you mean by north. I live in the Newcastle area and know of a couple of pet shops that deal with exotics and do a boarding service. I've not looked into it myself as I'm hoping I can persuade someone to look after mine at home. But you could look into any shops...

Yes I use the multivit every two weeks. I’m afraid that I’m gutting the cage because when I first set it up, I made the mistake of crossing two long pieces of wood from top to bottom and used that frame to build a lot of the rest of the viv. The wood is wavy and never properly dried right where...
