Oh I completely agree. I see the same thing happen quite often. Totally understood, and good point.
I didn't even realize when I said pinned thread that it actually wasn't one. I guess I've been following this post for so long that I seemed "pinned in my head". I love seeing all the...
You'd be surprised who is still watching. This is one of my favorite pinned threads. Believe it or not I've already started s conversation about helping Hugh out.
make sure you make a purchase of a IR temp gun. you want to make sure that her basking temps are at the perfect temp for veileds where she sits to bask. Point the temp gun right on her back when she's under the basking light. Read all the care sheets in the Resources tab for veileds. Having...
Jann, I love your hubbies work. Looks like everyone is going to be very happy. Love the green pvc coated hardware cloth. I could only find black when I did my outside build.

3 days for a new chameleon of not eating isn't that far from normal. Nor is the fact of its comfort level to not let you hand feed it (even out of the cup). Give um time to calm down and relax. It took almost 6 months for my current male to warm up to me to take a cricket out of my fingers...
IMHO I feel these enclosures, as awesome as they are, are to large for juvi's. They should be in much smaller enclosures until at least the age of 12 months. Smaller enclosure (18x18x36 kind of a thing) will give the younguns the ability to catch free roaming feeders, and give you the ability...
