Creature13, brilliant. You gotta watch out for that dihydrogen oxide coming out of misters. Heaven forbid your cham actually consumes any of it.... :P Dihydrogen oxide. The greatest threat to life on Earth. ** If anyone after this post of mine says anything along the lines of...

Silkworms are one of the healthiest staple feeders you can feed your cham. Hornworms are healthy as well but should be used semi regularly (few a week). They aren't as healthy as silks, but they pack a huge hydration boost for your cham. I have not used Phoenix worms, but I would treat them...

3 nozzles in a 2x2x4. One near the bottom spraying upwards, the two others in the two back corners of the enclosure.

Go to the photography section of this forum and look at members' enclosures. There you will will see what is necessary to keep a panther or veiled. Adult chameleons need a 4 ft high, 2 ft wide and 2 ft deep screen enclosure. Chameleons need a lot of ventilation and glass is generally a no-go...

YahYah, that's a good plan. Some silkworm egg batches take longer to hatch out- I do not know the specifics of that unfortunately. Silkworms should definitely became one of your staple foods. I see you are feeding wax worms- these should be occasional treats as they are very high in fat. Use...

Absolutely. My Panther loves silkworm moths. There are only two downsides to feeding off the moths: 1) They are very cute 2) They hold no nutritional value. They make for a fun snack for your cham as they beat their wings rapidly and move around alot, but cannot fly (perect for you and your...

My powersun works great. However, it's only designed for cages 4 ft tall or more.

Hibiscus needs A LOT of sun and really isn't a good indoors plant. Try Schefflera or ficus. As for temps during winter I use a space heater. If you get a heater make sure it automatically adjust to the temperature you set. I just keep it on all the time set to ~72F. The mercury vapor lamp...

Thanks! He was being really cooperative that day.

Here's a video (720p) link to youtube for an update of Mugetsu! His colors have come in very nicely -blue and red barred Ambanja. Unfortunately my voice is weird on video. You have been warned. http://youtu.be/S6oggZPbXuU Thanks for watching!

hornworms eat the food in the pod very quickly. Buy silkworm food or hornworm food (both work) and set up a small container for them taht is ventilated. Hornworm food is beige and makes the hornworms turn teal. Silkworm food is green and makes the hornworm turn green. Put the hornworms in...

Wow it was great to see everyone pull together to help. I was going to post that I could help with feeders (banana roach nymphs, hisser nymphs) but it seems you have everything figured out!

I won't have power till Thursday. Will be moving my guy by a window so taht he can get light. He's pissed as hell.

Honestly, I do not free range my chameleon (allow him out of the cage to feed. However I do take him out when he wants to get out and roam. I always stay with him when he does go out. It's all about the quality of the care and affection you give. One of the most important parts of this is...

Jannb is right. My guy is incredibly friendly with me because I pamper him. He does not like anyone else and is not afraid to show it. One day I had him on my hand for a half hour and he was just relaxing. Then someone walked by and Mugi flaired up and struck out like a pissed off cobra at the...

I have a 14 moth old male and feed him about 3-5 insects every other day and he's doing great. If you feed large prey items then you need to feed less, especially with an adult.

"However, boxelder bugs are redolent and will release a pungent and bad-tasting compound upon being disturbed to discourage predation; this allows them to form conspicuous aggregations without being preyed on.[3]" -Wkipedia Doesn't sound like a good idea. I think captive bred (fed on...

I used distilled water with 3 nozzles for one cage. 1 minute spray time x 6 times a day. I use a 5 gallon reservoir and a 3 gallon waste water reservoir. My guy is an easy drinker and my Scheffleras cannot stand long watering periods.

melrito: so Texas Ranger has a Red-Barred sired by Sokool and you have a Blue-barred. Mine has both! As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's awesome home there's such diversity even though they have the same father.

Hey Texas Ranger, I didn't know you had an Ambanja sired by SoKool as well! He looks fantastic. Yours is a solid Red-barred, while mine is a mixed Blue/Red Barred. Funny how genetics work out.
