Thank you all of this information! I forgot to reply. I am rather upset because the breeders' care sheet appears to have given me plenty of false info, as it contradicts what you have shared, here. Fake plants are swapped out. Gut loading with recommended veg from here on out. Adjusted misting...
@ERKleRose of the 3 plants in the enclosure, only 1 is fake. The other two plants are a pothos and a zizi plant. What is wrong with the one fake guy? Also, There is no cage humidifier, just one I keep in my office because its so dry in the interior of british columbia. My plants shrivel up...
woah woah woah.... hold up - chameleons are dry shedders?? Oh heck, I didnt know. I assume I should lower the humidity while he sheds? Please let me know!

Based on your advice here, I will raise the lamp even higher from the basking spot. Will that be sufficient, the 100 watts...
Hello! I am a new keeper and I am setting up my incoming Veiled's enclosure. I am incredibly worried that his basking spot will be too hot. He is a juvenile of 3 months. How do I measure the temperature on the basking area effectively? I have a 100W halogen bulb in a flukers dome lamp. I have...
Thats fair! I remember reading that flax is great to gutload with. Ill go back and check.... and to answer your question, I havent done the smoothie cubes for my insects, yet. I sometimes make smoothie cubes for geckos, though. When my pet sitter or bf cares for my 4 cresties, I premake an...
