Should I invest in a misting system?
A lot of people prefer them because it is easier and a lot can be put on timers.
Is there a drainage system we should use aside from the provided tray and substrate? The substrate is Zilla - Fir & Sphagnum Peat Moss.
Unless doing bioactive then substrate is...

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, F, about 5-6 weeks old? She has been home with us about 32 hours and was purchased from LLL Reptile in San Diego. She's teeny tiny! In an ideal world babies wouldn't be sold until at least 12 weeks.
Handling - Since coming home, she was...
Yes copy and paste the form and fill it out so people can give you feedback on it so you can adjust things if needed so your Cham hopefully lives a long and happy life.
He has a very impressive casque.
Arcadia do a biorevitalise product which helps the plants and clean up crew if you have them. I used it and found the plants shot up.
Agreed plant light is the best option though
This is her just now after the shot last night her lights have been on now for 3 hours
(Thin bed sheet on sides for privacy for her)
Tail is black just that side from where they took the blood yesterday.
Im speaking with the vet later this afternoon so will see 😔
End of Nov she started to tear round her cage and then start of Dec her Colours really 'popped'.
I have been keeping her in the cage and leaving her alone since Xmas as that is when I noticed her starting to plump up slowly. She has been screen 'hanging' under the basking bulb for about a week...
They didn’t say and we aren’t allowed in at the minute so couldn’t see for myself. They just said that she had a very large clutch in there.
I have to speak with them tomorrow so I will definitely ask the shape and why they are recommending spaying.
To be honest I was worried sick all day and...
Thanks all. So the vet did bloods and x-rays on Rhea. The X-ray showed the eggs weren’t calcified yet but she has a lot (which surprised me as I have been following everything to help reduce clutch size.)
Her bloods showed low calcium, was 7 and should be a minimum of 9. Bloods also showed...
So Rhea is looking egg bound 😢 I have managed to get her in for an appointment later this afternoon. I'm worried about her now though. I'm hoping that she will be ok.
She has been looking gravid for the past couple of weeks but has shown absolutely no signs of digging or wanting to venture...
I know the gauge is 💩 but she is technically the hubbies and anything I say or recommend gets dismissed 🙄 I suggested going bioactive for her and I got shot down with the response it will get too humid and she will get an RI.
Maybe the nectar from the flowers is dessert? Just a thought 🤷🏼♀️
Don’t be saying you have umbrella and fiscus in with a plant muncher over here in the uk. You will have a lynch mob at your door demanding you take them out because of how toxic they are!
It is something I have thought about but funds are currently a bit low for it. I shall stick to the free rain water for now.
Thanks for confirming my original suspicions everyone 😊
I had a feeling the drainage water would be a no go. Rain water it is then for the time being.
All I can get over here in the uk is mineral water in our stores, like Evian or . I can’t seem to find anywhere that sells distilled.
I can get some off Amazon but it’s stupidly expensive. It works out...
So we have come to the point the soil gnats are out of control and now venturing outside the room.
I have ordered a load of carnivorous plants to place around the house and I know that they need nutrient poor water. We are going to rig something up to put outside to catch rain water but I was...
I’m in the uk to, so know exactly why you are getting confused. The main thing where I think you are being told 12% is that they don’t tell you what distances the branches have to be in order to get the correct uv index.
I go with a 6% on the outside of mesh with the recommended branch...
