I too wish to apologize for my comment. As has been mentioned here, I am one of those cham owners who is CRAZY PASSIONATE about these animals. This is a great forum with loads of information (but you know that already).
Getting back to the original thought, if you are planning on going away...
Beautiful pics. Back in the 70's I worked right acrossed the street from the HB pier at a great club called the Golden Bear. By the way, we hippies do not bite! ;)
Just got back on this thread. Really surprised about the proactive reaction. Maybe they changed something in it (daughter used it about 13 years ago). Congratulations on losing 4 pounds. Don't get to skinny though. :)
A classroom full of kids? "Camping" with 2 dogs, 2 kids, a sister-in-law and a mother-in-law?
The more a chameleon is left alone by himself, the less stressed he will be and the healthier he will be. Poor chameleon :(
Oops! I knew that! In fact I remember now seeing pictures on this forum of his new facility. I'll fix that right now. Sorry about that. It's been fixed.
No problem dodolah. Beside, I already got my answer. It's interesting reading the other thoughts related to the subject.
The next good day I have Giz outside, I will take UVB readings as he moves through his day. For example, in the morning he loves to make like a solar panel and soak up...
The next meeting has been moved up to a 2:00 PM meeting on a Saturday. I can't find my notes right now so someone else can maybe fill in the Saturday date. If not, I'm sure it will be announced here on this forum as the date draws closer.
The meeting is going to be at Dr. Greek's office in...
I agree. Up until a few days ago, Gizmo was spending around 2 to 3 hours a day - every day, at his "fair weather" home outside. We're starting to get our June Gloom weather now so I'm setting up his free range facility in his bedroom. :)
Thanks Dave. Yes, it is a 10.0 Reptisun Linear. As it stands right now, from light to vine, I'm getting a 15 reading on it with my uvb meter. I was one of the SBCK members who went in on the group buy. I will make the necessary adjustments tomorrow (Gizmo's asleep now). Again, thank you.
Codiwatkins, if you are interested - my daughter used "Proactiv" when she was a teenager and it worked miracles for her complexion. She's grown out of that stage now (she's 26) but I do remember buying all kinds of products that did not help at all. The proactiv really did the trick.
Summoner12 posted some very interesting information on chameleon lighting. I think though that this should be it's own thread. Here's my question:
What would be the "ideal" UVB reading for a 10.0 Reptisun fixture that is hung from the ceiling. There is no plastic or screen coming between...
I ordered Reptaid a while back, just so that I could keep it on hand. After my purchase I was sent an email by the company asking that I document my usage of it. For example: Type of cham, its age and weight, enclosure information, what the problem was, and the outcome after using their...
That is what I use and my crickets love it! Drop Ssimswiss (he's a forum member), a pm and he'll take care of you.
I got my boy from the Kammers as well.
Silkworms don't move around much and therefore don't seem to trigger the hunting instinct like a faster moving feeder would.
After I put silkies on the branches for Gizmo, I actually blow on them to make them react and therefore "move" more. Seems to do the trick for Giz.
I agree with sandrachameleon. Looks like cutworm moths. Once they hatch out of their pupae, they no longer eat. All they do from this point on is hunt down a mate, copulate and die. I'm not sure what the lifespan is at this point but I know it's not too long.
