Hello all, I've done a little more research and have decided that a juvie / sub adult veiled might be the best choice for my first cham. I think that I would feel more comfortable starting with a slightly older / larger specimen vs. getting a younger animal and have had multiple people tell me...

Thank you for your advice!

hello all, I am planning on purchasing my first chameleon within the next 3 months and would like your opinions on which additional feeder would be the best for chams and easiest to "keep" (either breed or keep long-term). I currently have a dubia colony, but know that additional food sources...

If you keep them at room temps, you shouldn't have much problem..Especially if you are feeding smaller dubia (1/2", etc.) It takes them a few months to mature into adults to be able to breed. I'd use an opaque container and cut a small hole on the top to cover with mesh. Feeding citrus will...

Thanks! This makes me feel better about the possibility of investing in an auto misting system. I'm sure I can call my local water authority and find out how many TDS are in our water here and using a vinegar / air treatment on the misting heads sounds like a good solution as well.

Hello all, I am in the process of tweaking my first chameleon setup and had a question regarding misting systems. I have always shied away from using automated misters because of the need to use RO water to prevent the system breaking down over time. In my local area, there are no sources for...

Thanks for the reptiles! Broderp- I was planning on misting him twice a day (before I leave for work and when I return) while leaving a drip waterer going all day as well. The room the cage will be in has a humidifier and the moisture stays in the 45-55% range (sometimes up to 60%), but I can...

The ones they have at a store near me are quite large... probably close to 8 months old I would think. I wanted to go with the large reptibreeze, but the xl is on sale (it is currently less expensive than the large) on a site I found, so I figured bigger is better. I do have a spare 20gl high...

Hello all, I am getting my supplies list together for my first setup and wanted your advice. I am planning on setting up an XL reptibreeze enclosure for a veiled chameleon. I will list my setup ideas and the items I'm intending to buy below and would appreciate any advice you can give. I am...

james- thank you for your reply. I will have to look into the temp dropping at night, as the room thermostat is set to keep the temp at 75f (it does rise higher than that in the summer, but does not drop lower). I could place their cage away from the heater, which would give it more of a temp...

Hello all, I am new to the forum and to chameleons.. I have all of my other reptiles on bio active setups and am considering getting a chameleon, but would want to keep it bioactively with substrates, etc. Are there any screen enclosures that come with a bottom that would hold substrate or...

Hello all, This is my first post to the forum, although I've been lurking around for a while. I've owned reptiles for several years and keep many different species (boas, pythons, skinks, geckos, tree frogs, etc.) but I've never owned a chameleon. This is mostly due to two things that scared...
