The only thing I could find that matched the wattage was this: Is this the type of bulb you are using? If that is the case there are many out there that are known to cause eye issues with chameleons and it is best to avoid them. Go with the reptisun 5.0 linear flourescent in 15watts. They...

@Texas Ranger this was the one that was in Arlington. @Jamelon I kept the original ones in the original pod until their dorsal hearts (black line on back) developed and they began wandering. I then placed them in individual cups with moist paper towels until they pupated. Then I put them in...

I actually got these at a local reptile show and there were 5 that pupated because the chams did not eat them fast enough. I have ordered from Mulberry Farms and Great Lakes in the past but could not get any moths to come out.

They hatch really fast. These were only deposited 3 days ago.

Drop the night light. Chams can tolerate a night temp drop and unless your house gets below mid 60's at night a heat source is not needed and is actually detrimental if it is a light because it does not allow them to sleep properly. Gutload your crickets now. Start using fresh fruits and...

This is the first time I was able to get a male and female moth and produce eggs. They just started hatching today! To give you an idea on size the metal is 1/2 square hardware mesh.

It is MHO that dominance is not what is being displayed in reptiles but in this case seeking out the highest point for security and overall viewpoint advantage. Reptiles are not pack dwelling animals and the fights and displays that they show in the wild would be more territorial or ownership...

This comes from the Raising Kitty the Veiled Blog: HOW MUCH TO OFFER During the first six months of a veiled chameleon's life, it has an amazing appetite. Reptiles are extremely good at converting food into body mass, and grow at an amazing rate during this time. However, at this stage of life...

Sorry to hear about your loss but thank you for warning others. To add to this post that incubator is a MR-148 refrigerator/warmer that has been rebranded by almost everyone out there and I see some terrible reviews for it being used as a refrigerator on Amazon and other sites. Basically...

I agree with Sandra or better yet defer to her as she has waaaay more knowledge. I think he is fine and he definately looks like a he. Give him time for the colors. Mine is really starting to show them now and he is almost 9 months old.

The hemipenal bulge is at the base of the tail past the vent but in small chameleons it my not be easily determined until they reach maturity. The best way to describe what most look for is the males tale will appear fatter and more in-line with the vent into the body where the female's will...

It does appear to be a male as best I can tell. Depending on the camera you are using you can pay attention to the focus points it is showing in the viewfinder or on screen. In that specific picture the focus point was the dog in the background. Some cameras also have a setting for MACRO...

Did not see anything from the first picture and the second one it is hard to tell but there may be a bulge there indicating male. The weights are just more in line with a female is why I asked. Another thing to check is make sure the scale is accurate. Weigh a measuring cup empty then add...

legs look good on angles but have any side view pictures? Are you certain it is a male?

Photobucket should work as that is what I use. Click on the image in your photobucket album that you want to share. On the next screen that comes up on the left hand side there is a section called Share this image as pictured here: You want to copy the entire text in the IMG section of...

Weight is not as important as many make it out to be. If he has nice round eyes and is eating well and has good angles on his joints he is probably doing just fine. If he continues to stay small he could just be a smaller chameleon but it does not hurt to have a fecal done to make sure he does...

I just use the standard CFL bulbs that they sell at Lowes in the multipacks in the 75 watt 6500K. You get for of them for about $8 and my plants like them a lot more than the grow bulbs that I would using that were linear. Light on those just did not get deep enough and I had a Schleffera die...

My chameleon was hatched in December and here is his weight chart so far. I did not start weighing him until about a month after I got him but I try to weigh him every week now: Date Weight(Grams) 17-May-10 60 24-May-10 68 30-May-10 75 7-Jun-10...

Purchase one from Mist King. It is really hard to find the seconds timers and that will allow you to run it for 1 second at a time on up.

Just got another addition to the family zoo. Check him out: He is a 2 year old Green Tree Python and his name is Spex because he looks like he is wearing yellow glasses.
