    best age?

    Ditto what djfishygillz said. Add to that the ease of purchasing one adult sized cage with accessories that fit (uvb light and hood, making drainage, blah blah). Some people keep babies in huge cages with a feeder cup, but I have enough trouble finding my chams in their cages right now and...

    My Chameleon Bit my face.

    Hahaha yeah! Funny, I was considering getting a new piercing. Perhaps she read my thoughts and wanted to help.

    Is my Nosy Mitsio Panther a Male or female

    UGGHHHH I want a pair of Mitsio's so bad. Wish they were more common here, although if they were I guess some of the excitement might wear off for me but still, they remind me of little bananas and I like it.

    My Chameleon Bit my face.

    Oh, the joys of keeping chameleons. :eek: ;) So, Priscilla would rather be lit on fire than handled. When I bought her the very tip of her tail looked like it had been pinched/bitten off at some point. Her last shed uncovered a tiny amount of dead tissue at the end of her tail, so I'm taking...

    Storing Crickets

    The size and sex of your chameleon would determine how much they eat weekly and therefore, how many crickets to buy at a time. When you DO get him, a general rule of thumb is to not buy crickets that are wider than the distance between his eyes. Do you know the age and type of cham you'll be...

    the best of the panthers.

    Haha. Well, that's all up to whoever is looking. I have a pair of ambilobes. I'd say my favorites are nosy mitsios, but they're pretty rare in the US since there's not a large breeding population. Nosy bes are also a good looking type. But really, any nicely colored panther of any locale I think...

    Im NOT.giving up on mr fernandez

    I've never had to force feed but I've seen people on here mention forcing bug juice, which would be a blend of bugs and other things like calcium powder and pedialyte. I do not have a recipe for it since I've never used it so do a search for it and maybe someone else here has used some...

    Many problems with veiled chameleon

    Yeah I can't see the pics either her posts just look blank. This is not the first time people are talking about a picture that is totally invisible to me, haha.

    Many problems with veiled chameleon

    You might could create more of a temp gradient so there are cooler places at the bottom of the cage for her to get to. Also, for suppliments you should use regular calcium without d3 lightly at every feeding, calcium with d3 twice a month and a multivitimin twice a month. Crickets are okay and...

    Why?

    It could be a sign of illness or eye trouble if they're just closing their eyes and not actually sleeping. Usually it is a sign they didn't get enough sleep the night before. There's a link to the how to ask for help form at the top of the health forum, if you could please fill that out it would...

    Comment by 'dagy24' in 'Oh, Sillymeleons.'

    The pothos? Yes, it's on a metal stand with skinny little legs so it's not noticeable. I moved it to a different stand now its only a few inches from the floor so I could put more vines and branches through the middle.

    New Veiled Chameleon

    That is a good size for a small chameleon, but for an adult you would need a 24X24X48. However, you mentioned it costing over $100. You should not have to spend that much on the cage. Even the full adult size. I think my 24X24X48's cost me about $80, plus shipping since I ordered online. If...

    free range feeding

    I don't free range but when I was trying to acclimate my female to cup feeding worms I would have to show her the worm, get her interested and ready to strike, and then stick it in the cup. By that point she was already so excited about the worm she would ignore the fact it was in the cup. If I...

    concerns about early pregnancy for my vield

    A link to all the info about how to make a laying bin and what to use was already posted earlier in this thread. Other than that, at this age she may be large enough to be moved to an adult size cage. You should make an effort to put more vines and branches, like Elizadolots said. I'd say they...

    Vet questions

    To check for worms a fecal test would be good. You don't have to bring the cham in for that. A lot of parasites won't show any symptoms it seems or won't show any symptoms until the infection is quite serious, so they can appear totally healthy and have an infestation of some sort. If you have...

    Another rescue

    :( So sad. Poor thing. If you can get him to drink out of a dropper diluted pedialyte could help with that. Since he is clearly pretty desperate to drink he might go for it without much struggle.

    heart attack (long story, sorry, I do that)

    Ahaha oh god. Poor thing. Good thing the cat didn't go for him. Today I thought I lost mine, I forgot to fully close the cage and couldn't find him in there. Apparently he was sleeping in a plant as I frantically tore the cage apart looking! They're such little creeps.

    Oh, Sillymeleons.

    I spent all last night redoing Bulbasaur's enclosure. He now has tons of colorful flowers. I am aware that some chameleons may find lots of colorful flowers bothersome, but he seems quite fine. At first he wandered around confused because his set up is very different than it was, but by the end...

    New Veiled Chameleon

    You mean for the lights? The UVB light should be as long or almost as long as the cage. my cages are 24" wide, and my bulbs are 24" inside a 30" hood. It hangs over a little. I could have used a 24" hood with an 18" bulb as well and that would have fine. Since you're using a CFL putting it...

    Modified my enclosure a bit let me know what you think!

    Looks good. I would just add some more branches around the top so he can sit between 6-12" from his UVB lamp and basking spot and be able to wander around up there.
