Yeah that E-mail won't come until tonight lol!
I want to see pics of what this guy is like he's around 3-4 months? I have a 4 month old male sired from Candy Cane at Chameleon Paradise but this guy is really hot too! I want to see what he looks like young. :D
Yeah all kinds of lizards are funny about eating, they act like puppies! My little guy paces around his cage at his usual "food time". It seems most of them come to the front of the screen and look at you.
*Telepathy* Giant walking tree do as I command and bring me my sacrifices! :cool...
Woof, had to get through with that super paragraph!
From what I've seen here it's definitely not recommended to physically assist in shed. Spraying, warm water, shower...yes. But pulling it off can be a problem. It also isn't a chameleons favorite thing to be "pinned" down but I assume that's...
Over the past 2 maybe 3 days I saw my guy getting pretty faded, I could see the white casque build up. I've never seen a chameleon shed in person, 100 snakes 1 million times but never a chameleon.
It took him about 4 hours and me misting every hour with warm water to pop it all off. It was...
He looks great, it's nice to see a good looking red bar Ambilobe.
On the other note YEAH BUDDAY for living in Florida, it's beautiful outside most of the time. You know the little guys love the real sun too. :cool:
I had thought about turf for snakes before I got into chameleons as well. The only thing I could see is it being VERY hard to clean it often enough and well enough to not hold a lot of bacteria in it's little fake grassy-ness.
I'm pretty particular about the substrate I use for my reptiles, and...
Reading posts like this make me feel as if I'm blessed. I only have one cham at the moment and I need to post pictures! I have only had him 2 weeks but I've taken him outside at least half a dozen times.
I have heard that panthers are a bit friendlier at first (Skittles being a 4 month old...
I literally bought that same fixture 2 days ago, if you read the back it holds up to 17 watts.
The 24" Reptisun 5.0 is a 17W bulb, or at least the one I bought is...
It's a cheap fixture but still has a 1 year warranty, but hell if it breaks after a year I'll spend another $10 to be honest.
I'm in FL, but my problem is the apartment complex....I wouldn't want to put something so nice on my 1st story patio. However let me say as someone who is a total DIY guy these are AWESOME. Such easy materials and with an even easier design, it looks really cool hanging too.
Let's just say...
Maybe I should be more clear, if you don't have some kind of Mistking set up where you can have it set a timed spray a little bit every hour. I unfortunately don't have the cash to mist system everyone of my animals. I make sure there is a lot of water in the cage so they drink as much as they...
Please finish reading the paragraph I wrote ;)
One the 10.0 note, my guy is smaller so I am using a 5.0 for now. However from the dozen or so lighting threads I've read the 10.0 won't really hurt him* A lot of members use 10%, I hear the occasional 12% bulb but I believe it's an overseas company.
Hey man, welcome to the forum! I can't really give you everything you need to know but I have a few pieces of advice.
I'm glad you caught the substrate issue, some others don't like glass cages. I think it's fine since you got the tall one, Exo's have pretty good ventilation IMO.
The...
Clark, I would love to see some ACTUAL paperwork or statistics on this "study" done by Kammers. I don't doubt they have used the product, I just don't think you can call it a "study" unless there are some hard numbers.
Other then that I think that I'll be switching from my current type of...
I haven't been at this site long, but a PHENOMENAL lady named Sandrachameleon on here has an awesome blog on gut-loading multiple types of little bugs.

She has multiple links to her other gut-loading...
I have not read every post on this thread, however I do have input.
In the past year I've been getting into a few paths of reptile breeding, and personally quality counts. Always a difference between a DEALER and a BREEDER.
I've worked in pet shops and even a reptile specialty store, and...
LOL that's the biggest one I get with my snakes.
There in cages, locked Exo-Terras or racks with heavy tubs.
"No thanks, they can still come out and GET ME."
Good thing to hear about the hurricane shelter!! :cool:
LOL Thanks yet again wicked, that Sandra lady is quite the wealth of knowledge. God forbid she reads this post she sounds like an AWESOME lady.
I'll be aiming exactly for these temps, I plan to do a lot of messing with plans and vines before I throw him on in. But that's a perfect guide thank...
Yeah, I'm figuring I'm just going to have to set up my cage and have the UV bulb since I know what I need there.
Unless I have any real complaints a 40 watt bulb doesn't sounds to bad, and it's not a $15-$20 reptile bulb :p I'll be using it and gauging the temperature with the temp gun...
