    Personal Watering Issue

    Hes going to be on the sleeping stick loooooong before the lights go out. A few hour adjustment wont be bad. Though mine tend to goto bed regardless of lights out time. Hes on the stick by 5pm, doesnt matter if its summer and its light out till 9m, or if its dead of winter and pitch black by...

    Now a Parsons

    I still hold the belief that they infact do not have a side white spot, and its either a watermark or even the photographer can not afford all the pixels in the photo after having said cham.

    High Heat Tolerant Plant

    uhhh if the basking bulb is strong enough to hurt plants, its way too strong for the cham. Around here the plants grow towards the basking bulbs and even crowd them out to the point the cham cant bask. Your bulb might just be hot spotting or something and you can just angle it to the cage so...

    WARNING! T5HO fixtures, NOT ALL come with a UVB bulb

    Sorry. Round here we have to spray the neighborhood for 8 year olds every year, they seem to come out of the wood work. This year we found out one has a beardy and one has a leopard gecko.

    WARNING! T5HO fixtures, NOT ALL come with a UVB bulb

    As the video goes, its up to you. With both colors off, its 6500k pure white light. With all the colors on, its a bit warmer 5000k. Technically with both colors on the plants will grow the quickest. But we are splitting hairs. Personally if i had to stare at the cage all day, like it was in...

    WARNING! T5HO fixtures, NOT ALL come with a UVB bulb

    Lets do a thought experiment. I cant keep anything other than a potho alive with "just a UVB T5HO". A potho is a low light indoor plant, it doesnt even need direct window light. If you leave it outside in direct sun, even northern sun, it dies. I have Several plants that i can barely keep...

    WARNING! T5HO fixtures, NOT ALL come with a UVB bulb

    https://zoomed.com/reptisun-led-uvb-combo-terrarium-hood/ If you are talking about these, they are not harming your cham. No light short of non terrestrial UVC from 20+ year old cfls are going to harm your cham. The extra red leds mimic dawn and dusk. 6500k is the magical color temp that...

    Tumor?

    On mine it was a "tag" on the inner lip where the jaw meet. During "inspection" i could wrap him in a towel and pop it out to inspect(just to make sure it wasnt a tumor/infection/shed). I just left it, it didnt bother him and he lived 3 years with it, so he got it around the same time as...

    The Exo Terra Compact UVB charts

    Yes its 40 per uvi unit. So uvi 3 would be around 120 UVB. But to be honest i think you are going way overboard with your levels. 3.0 is the new standard for max at the hang out/basking area. thats what we want to the top of the head to get on a brand new bulb. Not 4 just to be safe etc. 3...

    The Exo Terra Compact UVB charts

    UVB to UVI is not a direct conversion. However rule of thumb is 35-40 to 1. So a UVB 40 μW/cm^2 would be a UVI 1. That being said, CFL (curly guys) is a no no for chameleons. The cages are way too tall for CFL's to work. It needs to be a linear bulb with a reflector, and be T5, T5HO, or T8.

    Ideas about desynchronized hatching

    One hypothesis was captive bred has very spaced out eggs. When one hatches, it just grabs a branch or whatever and is gone. In the wild it is a ball of eggs. When one hatches it disturbs all the other eggs, and the digging disturbs further. So it could be that all your eggs were ready to go...

    Male or Female

    Male. Pic 3 does it for me. Never seen a grill make that pattern at that age, and its a nice meaty tail base, and its either my brain, or i see the tail divot, not just a taper.

    Panther chameleon gender help

    He/She is a bit underweight in my opinion. I go by the tail. If its got no centerline, its getting a bit fat, if you can can see more than one line or individual vertebrae, its too skinny. At this age you cant over feed, so feel free to feed daily as much as they will eat in a session. Aka...

    Panther chameleon gender help

    Sounds about right. They go up for sale around 5 months old. most breeders will not even ship a 3 month old. unfortunately you can sex them all most 100% right out of the egg. After the first month its reeeeeely hard to sex again until 6-7 months. Plenty of 5 month old slightly underweight...
