I prefer repcal with and without d3, as well as their multivitamin. I do use minerall indoor once in awhile, it does include d3.

Something to add, humidity is invisible. Any “Fogger” or humidifier that produces visible humidity is not a humidifier, it is a nebulizer. These are larger particles, that carry larger irritants. These are great for delivering meds as they are going directly to small capillary beds with very...

Thank you all for a very positive, healthy discussion. Haven’t seen this in a few days, and this has been very refreshing. What are your thoughts on heating your misting reservoir? I don’t see the need, though others use this technique.

I work with human pt’s in respiratory distress, whether that be a viral or bacterial infection. Both are treated the same, using high humidity to help break up secretions. Increasing the humidity to body temp or heating it is a benefit as long as tolerated. I literally helped a trauma...

Start learning about lay bins, she needs one ASAP, and a trip to vet is in order as well.

That’s how you sex panther chameleons, you sex veiled chameleons by looking for tarsal spurs.

Lol, that’s a female veiled chameleon. Your dudes a chick. She just laid infertile eggs.

Honestly, it has no local. We have no idea where the original breeding stock came from, and I doubt there is any proof. So calling it or referring to it as any local is just guessing. It’s a panther chameleon. Adding it to a breeding colony of a known local would be breaking that pedigree...

Hello all, not to “stoke the fire”, but @PetNcs, what exactly are your credentials and experience? I feel experience is to be valued almost as high as formal training. Again, meaning ZERO disrespect, just curious myself as are others I’m sure. If you have explained this before I apologize as...

Looks great, the only thing I’d do differently is bioactive substrate. I will run every setup for any reptile as bioactive from now on. Its really nice to see someone actually ready for their chameleon before it shows up. Good luck!

Research it, there is NO better way to keep reptiles. Worth the time, money, and energy.

If you start to experiment, please keep me posted.

This is quite the info overload. Grateful you are sharing, and illustrating your knowledge. How close are we to LEDs that may produce the UVB we require as keepers? I’d love to create 100% LED lighting systems.

Bruce is a good dude. I went to his house and was able to choose from multiple males available. As long as they’re 3 months or older, he’d probably guarantee the sex. He has some great breeders, and he’s a WORLD of knowledge.

They don’t.

Not sure it exists. There are cricket cups and stations, they work well, but no automatic feeders that I have heard of.

I get the OP’s opinion. For some reason dubias gross me out too. I can handle grubs, crickets and other feeders, but I draw the line at roaches. Thank god my chameleon wouldn’t eat them anyway. And I don’t mind ordering insects online. I never liked breeding bugs. Would be convenient, but...

I’ve used the 70w Sunray for years. It still produces UVB (6.5 UVI at 8 inches through mesh), but has lost its ability to produce any heat for basking. I’ve replaced it with a powerful LED bulb. I would have replaced the Sunray bulb, but couldn’t find any anywhere. Not sure if they are...

I wouldn’t, warm water will harbor bacteria. The mist will startle him and feel cold anyway.
