He’s still got a bit of time before you’ll need to cut back to every other day, or three days a week. For males it’s usually around 10-12 months. I do have to ask though - are you sure Rango is a boy? I’m not seeing the coloring and patterns that boys have and usually get by about 3-4 months.

Hi there and welcome to the forum! @Beman is one of the very best and has taught so many of us how to be fantastic chameleon keepers and give the best care to our little scaled friends. You are in amazing hands with her. ☺️ I do have 2 cents to add and that is about enclosure size. You want to...

Are you increasing humidity at night? If you are, then you need to have cooler temps of below 68F. If you are not increasing humidity at night, you do not need it to be so cold. Think of it this way - you want warm dry days and cool wet nights. The ice you wouldn’t put inside the enclosure. You...

I would try new tubing and maybe at least one new nozzle to use those out as being the cause. There might be some build up or something else in those which are preventing full flow.

Happy hatch day to my favorite noodle! 💗

Very cool!

Is it that time of year again, so soon?

You are and always will be the Bug Lord to me. 😁 I seriously learned a lot from you not just about bugs, but bioactive and just general stuff.

Yikes! You need to stop this asap and get a calcium that does not have D3. He should get D3 only once a month. Vitamin D3 is a fat soluble vitamin, which means it stays in the body longer, so it can very easily build up to toxic levels. If your Reptivite does not have D3 in it, then you’ll use...

I wouldn’t feed more than once a day. Maybe in a few more months you can start cutting him back. I keep an eye on cheeks and casque. If I see that they’re starting to bulge out, I adjust my feedings.

One of my favorites is schefflera. They can outgrow your enclosure, but it takes them some time and you can easily trim them back.

I have noticed the forum being in a bit of a slump lately, but it does seem to ebb and flow. Also, I haven’t been on or active as much lately in recent weeks/months, although I do check in a couple of times daily usually. I agree with @Beman that we have more members picking up the torch to do...

I can’t remember exactly why, but the store bought ones are less likely to cocoon. I think it’s some sort of growth inhibitor or something along those lines. Anyhow, your worms will cocoon and you’ll need to open the silk or coax them out. You will probably want to store some in the fridge to...

It looks beautiful! So does your cute little man! 🤗 I’m not up on Jackson’s husbandry, but can comment in general things. The most important feedback to give you is about your night team temps. You really need them to be below at least 68F - especially for a Jackson’s. With a veiled or panther...

I have stopped (for now) my cricket breeding attempts. For some reason, it wasn’t terribly successful for me. I think part of that is because I just had far too much going on. I have to admit that there were a few times I completely missed seeing the bin of baby crickets and so forgot to feed...

Look to our sponsors. https://www.chameleonforums.com/sponsors/?tag=chameleons I know some of them don’t have any chams available at current. Honestly, most of what you pay for when buying a chameleon (or any animal) is the reputation of the breeder. Good breeders work very very hard to put out...

I had just given them fresh food when I moved the bigger ones to the smaller jar. It’s probably desire to start to cocooning or something. 🤷‍♀️ I have seen the smaller ones climbing the jar, but that was because they needed fresh food. Once I gave it, they went back down and were happy. I used...

Oh no! Where is Mr Lola? You lost him! All I see are pretty flowers and a fern. Some strange looking pink root is escaping your plant bed…you might want to keep an eye on that…might be an invasive plant.

Another layer of potential escapee intervention is I place the jars inside of a bin. I keep them in my garage so they’re warm and grow better, but if they escape, I’ll never find them so am extra cautious. I do check them daily as well.

I tried a few different methods. First I just cut to fit the screen to set into the lid. That wasn’t quite secure enough so I tried hot glue to secure the screen on the inside of the lid. Not a great solution, so I then tried hot glue on the outside…also not great. The little buggers eat thru...
