    Welcome to the world little one...!

    Yes :) It is still incubating though. I've noticed it starting to get more windows lately but otherwise no signs of hatching soon. These eggs are from 2 different sets of parents as well so I'm not sure they will hatch around the same times anyways Edit to add, both eggs hit the 6 months mark...

    Welcome to the world little one...!

    About a month after bringing Pepper home, I purchased two panther chameleon eggs. I probably should have given myself more time before deciding to make such a big leap, but I can't really take it back now... But I feel pretty confident with what I have learned so far, and I'm excited to say that...

    Ugh... Spider mites

    Thank you!! I ended up spot treating with a squirt bottle and diluted alcohol. I think these new plants are stressed from how bright/how much light they're getting now in the cage and are adapting to it, which could explain why I started seeing all these mites! Oh yeah I was reading about...

    Veiled Chameleon cowering on the ground

    I'm nowhere near as experienced as others here on the forums so take this with a grain of salt, but he looks extremely obese to me... Do you know/remember if the pouches under his eyes were there when you got him, or if they've only developed recently? Normally we would be feeding adult veileds...

    Jungle Dawn LED Bars do *not* have bulb replacements?

    To my knowledge LED nodes aren't replaceable the way typical light bulbs are. When they go out, that's it. Are all of the LED nodes not working, or only some of them? It may be worth checking with Arcadia about their warranty, last I knew it is a 5 year warranty but I don't know the specifics...

    Ugh... Spider mites

    I'm not sure if they came in on the new plants (which I thought I washed really well) or the topsoil I bought to re-pot them recently... I've read a few posts on here about users who were successful in dealing with them by spraying isopropyl alcohol, but I think they all were in regards to...

    New plants :)

    I was just checking the cage again and I will have to either rearrange plants or change the bin to a different shape to fit, I was wondering if a round plant pot (plastic, solid black color) could work? It's 10 inches wide at the top and tapers down to about 6 inches wide at the bottom, and is 9...

    New plants :)

    I think it must be the angle of the picture, it doesn't have a plastic cover over the bulb :) Oh I forgot to add in the first post, but I do have pothos in most of the pots at the bottom! And thank you for reminding me, I forgot to put the lay bin back in!! I'll go put it back now 😅

    New plants :)

    I found a few lovely plants recently for a really good price: a rather full pot of tradescantia, some type of colocasia, and a bucket with 3 sizable croton plants! I only have one in Pepper's cage, the other two I potted and left under my other grow lights. It's a bit of a tight squeeze 😅 but I...

    How to treat Cham eye bump?

    Just wanted to add that you'll still want to use supplements during feeding, just not the vitamin A supplements :) calcium without D3 for nearly every feeding, calcium with D3 to use 2x a month, and a multivitamin to use 2x a month. I alternate between calcium with D3 and multivitamins every...

    Love my lil' Pepper

    I think Pepper is just highly food motivated haha! Though I do like to think she trusts me at least a little bit!

    Love my lil' Pepper

    Not the best pictures but she got nervous about my phone while she was standing on my hand. Second pic is after I closed the cage and sat with her for a few minutes; she came back down and to the screen door to see what's up. She's such a sweetie (and likely hoping for more bugs 😅). I'm so glad...

    Updated enclosure check, does this look better?

    Oh thank you, thats a great idea! I'll measure inside the cage and move it to the shelf above, I think that will be the best way to create some distance

    Updated enclosure check, does this look better?

    Yes my goal is to have only live plants in the end! I'm getting some more plants soon and plan to separate the pothos clusters into smaller, separate ones to place them through the cage. A friend of mine is also going to give me a cutting of their Chinese banyan plant as well to start up another...

    Updated enclosure check, does this look better?

    Ah yeah there are a couple of more horizontal branches that, at the closest, are about 3 inches away from the screen top. Could that be too close? The way that I braced the cage down the center on top actually causes the light to sit a little angled, which adds about an inch or two gap from the...

    Updated enclosure check, does this look better?

    Oops, I posted this in the wrong forum I think? It was suppose to go in the enclosures forum!

    Updated enclosure check, does this look better?

    Hello! I posted recently about my female veiled chameleon Pepper (~4 months old estimated) and was given some advice about her enclosure to change a few things: - basking was too hot, around 85 F previously - exo Terra vines needed to be removed, they tend to flake pieces of that get stuck in...

    At what size should I reduce feedings for a female veiled chameleon?

    Thank you so much for all of this info, it's very helpful!! Regarding the repashy calcium, the one I have is just called "Calcium Plus", with a leopard gecko on the label. It has 20,000 IU/lb of vitamin d3. I didn't realize but it also seems to be a multivitamin as well as the calcium and...

    At what size should I reduce feedings for a female veiled chameleon?

    Thank you both! I hadn't realized that about the Exo Terra vines, thank you for letting me know! I've got golden pothos and some type of philodendron hybrid (I forget the name, berry something?) but they're still a little small and won't provide much cover. Do you think I should still remove the...
