It's hard for my female jax to compete with the heavy color hitters, but she turns a beautiful light green with a red stripe down her side and a dark ring around her eyes. I think shes great!

I'm not sure what the problems are, or if this is related, but @JacksJill advised me to not go over 80 for temps with my xanth until she was over 9 months old, so I'm guessing the temps are a little high.

I love my feeder cup! My cham took to it right away and she had never been "cup" fed before. My favorite part is how easily it blends in with the decor. You barely notice it in there, so you can maintain the natural feel of your enclosure. The bottom mesh lets water run out, so when I...

Western montana. Ambient in the house is 30 to 40 in the winter. But it's a smaller cage, so that might make a difference.

People can correct me if I'm wrong, but 40% humidity during the day is perfect. It's the night time humidity that you want to bump up as high as possible. That's where a cool mist humidifier running at night and the shower curtains suggested above come in handy. I have my humidifier set up on a...

Awesome, I'm convinced! Thanks for all your help!

Ok, good to know. So my output may be reduced, but I could still get some production from adults if I keep them in other rooms in my house that I don't let drop in temperature below 70. Good stuff. I have just the closet. I think I'm going to go with discoids then. I have pretty sensitive skin...

Actually, the room I have the cham set up in easily drops to the 50s at night and then I turn the heat back on during the day to get it to the 70s. I meant do the roaches need a heat pad or light to be running 24/7 to keep them in the 90s for breeding, or is a heat source only during the day ok?

Do you need to give them a heat source 24/7? The energy bill is already pretty high where I live.

Thanks so much JacksJill, I will switch over to the LoD to every Monday until she is older. I appreciate you doing all the hard work so that I can reap the benefits!

Nope, no idea beyond maternal lineage to a petstore in Idaho haha. As a wildlife biologist, no critter creeps me out haha. I have definitely considered them, they are just more expensive than crickets so I've been wavering back and forth.

Oh I like the double cup idea, I'm definitely going to do that. Shes a xanth. I got her from a semi local person who accidentally bought a pregnant female from a petstore, so not a breeder or anyone with exceptional cham knowledge. But they did manage to raise a few babies, so good on them!)...

Hello! I just wanted to make sure I was supplementing my younger female Jacksons correctly. She is about 7 months old and eats somewhere around 10 crickets every day. I give her 15 or so and there are generally a couple left over by early afternoon that I take out. I have had her exactly 1...

I would also like to add that in general chameleons like to sit more on horizontal branches, and less on vertical branches. He doesn't need to be able to get to the top of the cage, so you can take the branches that are currently attached to the top and re-bend them so they loop around the...

I am a newbie to keeping chameleons as well, so I will not be offering much advice, but I have been on the forums long enough to know that this will be the first thing everyone will ask... Please fill out this form with what you have set up so far. If there are parts where you just dont know...

Haha do we all have "the one that got away"?

Oh the possibilities! I hope someone here lives close to this to pick it up and create a beautiful chameleon cage. And its on wheels! <3 If I only had the room! https://greatfalls.craigslist.org/hsh/d/bynum-animal-or-plant-enclosure/7035286076.html

Wow, beautiful cham and beautiful plants! Do you have a pic of the whole setup you could share? I love it.

It looks great! If you want to get rid of the milk carton, check out FullthrotleFeeders. They blend right in to everything else and can easily be taken on and off with a small magnet. The rest of your cage looks so nice I figured i would toss the idea out there to cap it all off! My cham used...

It is so interesting to hear everyone's oppinion, and that people differ in how they go about it. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
