Honestly to my eyes which i admit are not professional or trained as much as these guys here she looks good to me... her legs dont show the curves and rounded joints like I have seen in MBD photos what I understand is the most obvious place for MBD is the legs. They become a bit rounded and in...

not to get off topic but I never read Jannb's blog page until tonight --- Excellent information i recommend reading it for sure as for the calcium without d3 --- its strange I found it in my local petco it was liquid formula though...

dont get too discouraged they can be expensive to start with but once u get a decent enclosure in place and good system / routine going they are not bad to take care of i learned a TON from these forums -- reading others posts and taking advice from others here. and in reading your setup and...

our local pet stores sell rep-cal without D3... petco and petsmart try those before ordering offline while your shopping for the rest on your list also -- she for sure looks like a female to me... short casque and no spurs read up on egg laying bins to avoid any issues with eggbinding...

there are many issues with the current setup. I am no means a professional and I have learned a lot reading on these forums myself. I have a male veiled for 6 months now how aside from being a grump when handled is to my knowledge in excellent health..... please if you can try to get him into a...

im going to chock it up to he is a young cham and they are indeed ODD!! lol

uvb is 2 months old and his skin temp is still around 80 -- i dont suspect cold and im not sure why he would show stressed colors when he climbs to that light and does this to himself lol.. when he climbs down to the basking spot he turns back to his normal greens and is fine... he will stroll...

i should have taken more pics of his basking area and such -- he has the ability to go to many many levels and temperature zones ranging from 70 - 90 at highest point now so he has the ability to bask in heat and hide in shade he regulates and keeps his own temperature at 78.8-80.0 constant --...

Ok... My little guy is doing good with a few minor exceptions 1. He is on a cricket strike and only eats mealies.... I am going to track down some silkworms though since I know they can be a substitute diet. I will intermix crickets and silkies and occasional mealies with his diet so I...

There are a lot of US fixtures that come with them attached - you have to remove them to install the bulbs most people remove them install a bulb and put them back on which can cause some if not a large percentage of UVB to be blocked @AZJ0SH Thank you for moving to Private Messages to keep...

they were indeed almost out into C ranges Chameleons are not my first pet that requires UVB... A new owner could come on here and see the same information ive posted about CFL lights on many threads why do you insist on constantly repeating the same things? You have other posts across this...

I dont remember saying they are bad - I remember advising against using them - These are a public forum posts contain facts and opinions people dont have to follow anything that is said here I fully admitted the issues with CFLs were a known issue that is corrected as well as stating its my...

Have not made it to bed yet lmao.. However todays CFL's are supposed to be safe yes - but a bit back some CFLs were causing issues to chameleons it happened before it could happen again -- why risk it? your in charge of taking care of an animal that cannot tell you directly what its issues...

That is the Exact reason I posted this.. Because if the plastic cover on your fixture blocks the UVB then your Cham is going to slowly develop issues and potentially loose its life while you scramble to help it out before you realize ohh its not getting any UVB I have read several threads here...

I think we are both right in our own way because I was sure what I read recently said that plastic blocks a percentage of UVB as well as Glass but depending on the color and makeup of the plastic or glass the percentage blocked changes I think its best to let people know to take the plastic...

oh good to know for sure... I took mine off a few days after having it because I was reading on another website that mentioned plastic blocks UVB and since I had mine off the plants perked up the chameleon seemed ok but the plants showed a much better sign of growth and like an awareness as...

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before but I have read several forum posts here about Chameleons and Enclosures. I have worried time and time about my little guys health and the biggest most important thing about a Chameleon is the UVB Lighting We all know a Reptisun 5.0 Bulb is the top...

original post stated the lights are on timers and would be adjusted to 12 hour times so yes they are turned off at nights I specifically asked for information on the behavior as in him hanging upside down under the UVB light like its a drug lol and if he was intelligent enough to move...

Starting to worry my little Guy is still hanging upside down in the same spot he was in last night directly under the uvb reptisun 5.0 .. its been hours it can't be safe there can it.. to Much uvb and heat I would think.. Should I move him or just let him be .. I mean is he smart enough to...
