Forgot to add in my earlier post, when shedding starts my chameleon drinks more water and seems to prefer more frequent mistings

Give it a shot. Start with few good seconds of spraying and over time increase the lengths. Just use good judgement. Good luck man!

When i first got my Jacksons Chameleon he'd never drink from the dripped either. Someone here on the forum suggested to use warmer water (maybe 10 deg or so warmer than room temp) and mist him directly to entice a drinking response. Start with misting the cage and get a few drops on his tail...

Your setup looks pretty decent. The sunken casque might be because he is dehydrated. Have you seen him drink water. Maybe additional misting might help ya.

I created a Blog entry documenting how I keep my silkies. Check it out to see if its of any help https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/nrupaw/716-silkworm-enclosure.html

The timers that mistking.com sells has seconds function on them.

If you want to move them to a larger container, you can try something that I do. I have a HOW-TO up here http://imgur.com/a/bkkY2#0

Right on. I can't start imagining how much work i'd be to clean 3 cages at the same time. My Cham's a little dude so the pieces of shed are really small. managed the clean the floor of his cage easily but will have to figure something out for the pieces of shed on the vines and leaves in the...

Gotcha. Hope thats the case :)

Great pics! Say,what type of camera and lens you using?

Thaakur, my Jackson's Chameleon started shedding today. He is my first chameleon and this is the first time he started shedding in my care. Its absolutely fascinating to watch. The pics i have seen in the forum dont even come close to describing how "out of this world" the process looks. He is...

I came up my own little contraption. https://www.chameleonforums.com/chameleon-perch-project-92870/. See if this works for ya My Jackson's Chameleon seems to love it. he likes to climb to the highest point on the branch and sleep the night. He turns lime green the moment he's walking around...

So i have come to the realization that my Jacksons absolutely loves his perch (and maybe hates his cage). He even sleeps on his perch these days. He only goes into his cage to bask/soak up uvb. He is not a happy camper when i move him back into his cage in the mornings when i leave for work...

You could try to drop water on his lips using a eye dropper. I have had to do this for my Jacksons' Chameleon sometimes. Initially your Chameleon might not understand that its just water in the dropper and will try to defend itself. Drop 1 droplet at a time. you don't want to put too...

Yeah, I have done that. my Local Aquarium Store charges 48 cents a gallon for RO water. I would never use local Minneapolis tap water. The water here is V. Hard.

I am here in Minnesota, so temps in fall and winter go down. I actually use an aquarium water heater to heat my water reservoir (3 gal. mistking system) upto 90 deg. F. My jacksons chameleon seems to like that. earlier room temp water would make him run away and hide. Now-a-days he will stay...

They are Manzanita Branches. Readily available in specialty pet stores, or craft stores. I'd recommend buying them online. here's a website http://www.decoratewithbranches.com/ Commonly used for wedding reception decorations etc. but my Chameleon loves to climb on them. They look really...

I agree with Amanda. I too have found that the best way of going about it is using warm water, and misting the cage first. I then slowly start moving closer to my Jacksons and squirt a few drops of water onto his tail. Initially he's hesitant and tried to contour himself away, but a couple...

I have a Jackson's Chameleon (Xanth) who's rather timid and doesn't seem to like to be held. But he still loves to walk around and explore his cage. His cage is a 18x18x36. Looking back, I should have invested in a 24x24x38 so that he'd have more space. :rolleyes: In anycase, I wanted the guy...

So i have been playing with the idea of investing in an entry level DSLR. Been reading up on things like aperature, and F settings etc. you guys mind recommending some good entry level camera models for me to check out? Still not ready to buy a new one off the shelf, instead plan to keep an eye...
