RIP Oliver!

Yes, I got them on Amazon. They have a 36 and 24 inch one. http://www.amazon.com/North-American-Pet-BBO22783-24-Inch/dp/B00BUFX1UA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1452122767&sr=1-1&keywords=north+american+bird+ladder

Here's my setup. I know it can be expensive, but I would really recommend getting a T5 HO setup vs the T8 if you're going linear style. My T5 with the 6500k daylight bulb and Arcadia D3 6% UVB brightens up the cage so much more than my old T8 with Repti-sun 5.0.

As far as I know, the regular incandescent bulbs are just that. No eye issues as they are used for basking and aren't very bright (purpose is to produce heat). They are ridiculously cheap nowadays since everything is LED made, so you'll pay close to nothing for them. As for deciding between 10.0...

I've never heard of a regular incandescent bulb causing eye irritation. I think you are referring to the older UVB coiled bulbs that were causing eye problems a few years ago, but that issue has been fixed. the regular house bulb is used for basking and the linear tube style UVB light is used by...

I love the personality difference with each cham. I do the exact same thing, but always do a little bit more to see what'll happen. I now offer my hand really close to my face while staring him down and he has no issues with climbing on and usually tries to go up my face, lol. Of course, all of...

This... Most start off with either 40 or 60 watt bulbs, depending on how cold or hot your area is currently.

As mentioned by Kiyonga, all you really need is a regular incandescent house bulb. I currently use a 60 watt bulb and have temperatures around 90-95 degrees. My guy does his basking for a few minutes before moving around the cage for a cooler spot, and then repeats. I almost never see him...

If that's the case, then these magnificent creatures may not be as fragile as we are lead to believe. I wonder how many missing cham cases end up like this one? I mean 5.5 months out on his own is bizarre!

WOW! Amazing story with an equally amazing ending! (y)

Your heart is in the right place. Did Petsmart allow you guys to adopt him or did you spend money to get him? Also, I would remove the substrate on the bottom and remove the bowl of water since they like to drink water drops off the leaves after after misting. The substrate can cause impaction...

I am using Repashy's Calcium Plus purchased in 2014 and it has an expiration date of 2017. It's a 6 oz bottle and I've been using it for over a year with more than plenty left. I'm going to buy the 3 oz bottle next time and don't mind spending $10 a year for a fresh bottle. I guess its more for...

That could work or don't feed him for a day and then try to give him a hornworm. He won't starve himself and will eventually take the worm.

If you only own a single chameleon, I would just get the smaller bottles. There should be an expiration date on there, but I believe it is recommended that you replace them about every year since you will have some nutrient loss with age. Just be sure to store in a cool dry place and it should...

Introducing a new feeder can be difficult sometimes. My guy had zero interest in hornworms at first, but now loves them. Try placing the feeder on the walls of your cage and he may go for them.

You should try and bath him in warm shallow water before resorting manual pull. How long has it been stuck?

I really hope "100 cricks at a time" was a typo. 1 adult cricket alone can kill a baby chameleon. As for superworms, I like to feed about 2-3 a week, but others have fed more with no issues as long as you're gutloading properly. Chameleons are slow, so your quick movements are a bit threatening...

I believe it, Jann. Look no further than the ads on craigslist. It's a shame how many chameleons are listed for sale, but that's not the issue. Take a look at the photos and you'll see how sickly some of these chameleons are and how terrible the husbandry is overall. It took me no more than a...

Panther chameleons do not have tarsal spurs like the Veiled chameleons. We determine gender by the hemipenal bulge on the tail.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with his leg. My guy has pretty thick legs himself. Either too much butterworms or he's been squatting in his cage.
