here is a bunch of pages that gave me a lot to think about! theres info about husbandry, specifics for female care, lighting etc. i do have limited advice because i have a veiled male, but hopefully it is a good read for you. please try to read most of it and you will be happier about knowing a...

(the pik didn't work) glad to hear you tried the steam room! sad to hear about the fall :(.

IMHO, the truest pictures are taken outside during the day where there is mild cloud cover or full sunlight. it has the complete spectrum of colors of light and gives the most dependable representation of color and contrast. i agree with others that it really comes down to honestly...

have you tried a steam room? what i am trying to say is you turn the shower to hot and run it full power until the room is very steamy. the extra humidity may help for the moment. is it possible to move her cage in there - or better yet, you could use a smaller screen enclosure to keep her in...

the suspense is insane! i can't wait to see the video! i am interested in breeding chameleons one day in the distant future, and this is enlightening! (congrats!!)

it's great to see that you are asking questions and taking care of your little one. the previous advise from others is great and i am glad to hear that you are following it! there is a LOT of controversy about the mercury vapor bulbs! people have been saying that it has been UVB...

That's pretty funny! I have recently discovered how easy it is to breed crickets and it is very exciting to me. I may eventually consider breeding roaches, but to acquire them - I have not seen any readily available in a long time. I do live in Canada and it isn't like they are hiding in the...

as with the recent comments about UVB, are you able to provide natural sunlight during the day? in order for it to be effective, it needs to have no barriers like glass/plastic and during peak uvb times to go through the window screen and your cage (11am-3 pm for the most part). it is still cold...

LOOKS WONDERFUL!!!!

i am impressed! i love to build my own things and this is an incredible bout of inspiration! i am curious to know how much all of this has cost you in reference to the misting system you have designed. i am debating whether i should buy or build my own mister. i have only one chameleon so it...

i was a vegetarian for quite a number of years actually... up until i got pregnant with my daughter 3 years ago anyways. i had to start eating chicken and fish just to maintain a healthy weight and continued eating meat after she was born. i really enjoyed not eating animals but for health...

as long as you are misting in there, he is bound to get wet some way. because he is so little, i have heard people say not to spray them directly - causing them to aspirate. a VERY fine mist over top to fall gently all around him should be fine if you pay close attention to his...

aluminum does not rust. it 'oxidizes' - turning into a white powder.

i am confused as to what you mean. i know that uvb does not pass through glass or plastic, but in the article by M1ndless, it specifically shows that he uses aluminum screen for the top of the enclosure. so my question is: did you miss that point or do you have another explanation for your remark?

it is easy to do. i cupfeed and i do not have a cricket proof enclosure. so each time i get crix i'll catch one, pinch one hopping leg off and drop it into one of the shake'n'bake ziplocks full of supplement. i also make sure to put greens in the cup to ensure gutloaded/live crix for the whole day.

i was just wondering, how long is your cham if its only in a 20" tall cage?? that is waaay to small for a 4-6 month old veiled. the sandbox should not be taking up half the cage either! maybe it is time to move into a larger enclosure to be on the safe side... i am also curious as to your...

do you have photos of what you use? it would help me get an idea of how you attached things... thanx!

thanx! just wanted to thank everyone for this awesome thread. i have been debating the best way to hydrate my crix and have definitely made up my mind now. the munchies is the most creative and nutritious way to go about it. WOOO HOOOO!

if the soil has fertilizers or vermiculite, you can cover it up with smooth river rocks that are too big for your cham to eat (maybe dollar sized and bigger - in canadian currency :P) the reasoning for this is to prevent him from ingesting anything harmful or getting impaction from eating...

ventilation is key! also, how warm are you keeping them? anywhere between 75-85F is the best. how quickly are they dieing? i usually get about 100 adult crix at a time and a few die each day for whatever reasons; when i get 100 or so medium crickets, i only have a few die in a few days...
