As regards outdoor cages, my situation is all kinds of annoying: My next door neighbor is a big time bird feeder, so there are always tons of birds around, crapping on everything in my yard as they pass to and from the neighbors feeding stations. My fence between our properties is painted...

I have seen several formulations in my searches that listed flower pollen. But yes, there are some that are pretty useless too.

I have noticed that the sugar glider community makes a nectar for their animals but I have NO idea if any of the formulations available would be harmful to our chams, based on ingredients. But it's another avenue to explore in looking for options for your nectar replacement. Just thought I would...

So many factors to analyze before anyone can know for sure. Do panther males have radical color shifts normally? Sure. They can change many times as they develop their adult colors. The fact that chameleons use color to communicate, and bright colors are usually a sign of stress or display...

I used to keep Monkey Tails. Amazing animals. I hope to again when I have the right space to do it right. They are losing their natural habitat very quickly, and I would love to be part of a conservation program to breed them and send them back if there are areas set aside for them. Yeah...

I am right there with you. I collect wild bumbles and my cams absolutely love them.

Good deal. Hard to see anything from the pic and just didn't want you to get a nasty surprise when the chipboard swelled up into mush. I hope he sealed all the edges and corners too.

Maybe try going stealth mode for a while. There is no rule against lurking, if that is better for you. Stick around and pick up info where you can. Maybe make a friend or two who you can chat about cham care and issues with in messages. Up to you, of course.

I am thinking you will need to do something to seal that particle/chip board. Water can destroy that pretty quickly, and if the water interacts with the glue in it I hate to think what that might do. Just a thought, do with it what you will. Marine grade paint is always a possibility, or that...

It's kind of like dealing with Chams. You have to build up trust over time. And some of them? Well, they are always going to be nasty ones that will hiss at the proffered hand, food offering or no. LOL

From the one site, I learned that people buy butterfly's to release at weddings and events. I had no idea. LOL

I may be a terrible person for this, but I couldn't help thinking of ... Yeah, I know I shouldn't but...

Have you found any Luna's? They tend to be found in the same basic area as Cecropia, again based only on my experience as a kid from the Midwest. I remember finding them and being blown away by how gorgeous they were.

Looks like a cecropia to me. They tend to pupate in apple trees from my experience. Did some reading, and one place I found that sells them says to feed the larvae willow or cherry. Hmmmm, wonder why I always found them in apple trees then when I was young. Odd. Wiki for them Link for place I...

Always glad to see someone who cares enough to do the proper due diligence in ensuring the best care and setup for their Cham. Rock on, ChamMom! (Couldn't resist the rhyme!)

Sorry, I totally spaced it on your post. Thought that WAS the new setup with everything in the pic. My apologies!

Great article from A.R. Thank you for that!

I'm not seeing the linear uv fixture. Unless that's it running up the back? If so, you may want to change that. UV can damage your eyes without you realizing it. Or is it just the angle, and it's hiding behind the spot domes? Sorry for any confusion on my part.

Congratulations! Bring on the fruit flies! Speaking of which, how do you keep yours in with the babies? I use a screen top and attached (with superglue) a fine netting inside it that is supposed to stop no-see-ums. Otherwise all those little buggers crawl up the sides and out.

As a hobbyist offering freshly hatched mantis to hatchling f. pardalis for the first time, this topic is of specific interest to me. I do, indeed, like to know what the different species are experiencing in their natural habitat, so I thank all of you that share this information very much! The...
