If this is exactly what I'm thinking of, then it should be a smooth white surface on one side and a black adhesive on the other. A neighbor helped me install a window a couple years ago and he had some that he put on the window frame before we installed the window. What made you change your...

Can anyone think of any reason why it would be a bad idea to use something like TiteSeal flashing to waterproof the inside? Or have any better recommendations?

Anyone know the best way to keep silkworms for a while (or even how long they'll last)? I have two almost full pods from Mulberry farms that my cham didn't go through before he passed away this weekend and it's going to be at least a few weeks before I seriously consider getting another. I...

I've decided to create a better base for my cage. It should only add an inch or two to the total height. Essentially my idea is that I'll remove the bottom portion of the reptibreeze (the part that holds the white panel in), and the cage should sit down into the grooves. The front portion...

I have two pods of silkworms from Mulberry farms, they just arrived last Wednesday. I have only used one small silkworm from one of the pods, but my chameleon unfortunately passed away over the weekend and I would prefer not to see them go to waste since I'm unsure of when/if I will be getting...

My first chameleon, Sven passed away today at a little over 5 months old. He developed some sort of an eye issue over the past two weeks, and had trouble eating and keeping weight on. By the time I realized how bad he was getting, and was able to get him to a reptile vet, it was too late for...

Well, I got him to the vet today finally, but unfortunately I think that last bit of stress was the last straw... He had still seemed fairly strong up until today, but all the fight went out of him when I got him home from the appointment. The vet was thinking that he had picked up some sort...

I just got one and I have it attached to a top corner with one of the plastic corner braces they sell. The sprayer is pointed in at the plants, and I only get a tiny bit of mist outside the cage, although more hits the top of the cage and collects in the screening to drip off (not a problem...

Yeh, I realized my lack of multivitamin the other week. I now have repcal multivitamin for him and dusted his crickets that I gave him this morning, but I don't think he's been eating. The crickets get flukers high calcium feed as well as carrots and kale. I was originally on a lower...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, ~5months old, I've had him for almost 3 months Handling - Almost never Feeding - Crickets (small) gutloaded with Flukers gutloader, feeding cup Supplements - dusted w/ Ca+D3 once a week, w/ Ca 5-6 days otherwise (both ZooMed)...

I tried feeding them to him in his feeding cup, then I tried them in the lid of a peanut butter jar at the bottom of his cage. He just ignored them, and they were out (in both situations) for a while. I've just ordered some silkworms for him. And considering he's gone on somewhat of a...

I've got a Reptibreeze XL (another reason why I started with the cup with the smaller cham). So that's a 2'x2'x4' enclosure. I'd attach a pic, but for some reason I can't post "duplicates" (I posted it in another thread) and I can't figure out where the hell I can access pictures I posted in...

I wouldn't say I'm against it, but I also wouldn't mind giving my chameleon the option of hunting for enrichment. I'd like to encourage him to get out and about in his cage but I don't want to do it at the expense of him not eating properly. I probably should have clarified that in my first...

How small can you get locusts? Where do you get them from?

Does anyone have any thoughts on cup feeding younger veileds? Mine is about 5mo right now, but he was only about 2mo when I got him so I started cup feeding him to keep track of his food intake. The first week or so I couldn't tell if he was actually eating, and it was making me nervous. Now...

I'm beginning to wonder if some of what I saw was him being uncomfortable from shedding... After looking around on the forums a bit it sounds like many chams go off their food prior to shedding, get irritable/sluggish, and sometimes have prolonged sheds. And since this is only the second shed...

Hi everyone, I've already made a few posts here and there as I got set up, and as I began to figure out the foibles of maintaining proper setup, so I thought I'd introduce myself and my new cham! Sven is an ~5 month old veiled chameleon. He's definitely on the shy side so far, but I've...

So I managed to snag a new hood tonight, does this look like a better setup? If anyone is in the market Petsmart is having a clearance on Reptisun hoods and bulbs. I got this 24" hood that came with a free 5.0 T5HO bulb for $33, normally ~$60+! Bulbs were priced down to ~$10 (but sold out at...

I have a ~5 month old veiled and so far all I've been feeding him are small, gut-loaded and dusted crickets. I've tried offering him the occasional mealworm as a treat, but he seems to have no interest. What do you guys recommend for feeders, especially by size, for younger chams? I'd love to...

I have to say, since shutting the full spectrum off it seems like he's much more willing to leave his eyes open. He will still shut them after a bit, but he's been moving around from the basking area to directly under the UV lamp. Earlier he wouldn't even open his eyes unless I touched him...
