Cut the end off another zip tie and put it on the end of the zip tie sticking out of your pot. Push that end flush with the pot and cut off the loose end. Repeat this process one more time so you have two zip ties criss cross the pot. You’ll see why.

OK but we don’t want an ugly coat hanger in our enclosure, so how do I hang pots without that? Use a drill to make a hole in the lip of the pot, where it’s double walled and strongest. Now feed a long black zip tie through that hole and across/flush with the dirt to the other side. Drill...

So you went to your local nursery and got a potted plant. Now what? Buy yourself a 24” hobby board from Home Depot and some 1/8” eye hooks. Drill a pilot hole in the center of the board. That’s just a fancy way of saying make a small hole so the eye hook screws into the board by hand...

You can put a 1” thick board on top of your enclosure and screw eye hooks into it and hang pots with floral wire. I hang all my pothos pots that way. If you would like some photos of the process I’m happy to share. I’m actually doing it on a new cage now

That bamboo ladder is so cool. Just watch out for the ropes on it. Nails can get stuck in the rope and pull out. Also what is the purpose of the black bucket up top by the heat lamp?

He will probably just think of it as an overcast day lol. This stuff happens all the time when a breaker flips or power goes out. I feel was WORSE when I wake up in the AM and realize the basement lights were left on all night.

Silk moths are adorable. Do you know they don’t even have mouths, because they don’t have any plan to eat? Their only purpose as a moth is to mate and die. Crazy!

Now that’s efficiency! Yep I currently have 100 silkworms and they’re huge, no way possible I can feed them off. Maybe I’ll throw some to the birds.

Blu is amazing! What a distinguished gentleman :). Rick was telling me males in the wild get huge but these captive bred and raised Parsons don’t get anywhere near as large, and the females are smaller yet. I still expect her to be larger than a big panther but we shall see!

Yep, I got a male Ambilobe and a male Ambanja from Fram’s. Now I have picked up a 10 month old female yellow lipped Parsons from Rick Rose. She arrives next Wednesday. I called and spoke with Rick about care requirements. I then called and spoke with Bill Strand to order an atrium with...

Let me clarify. Juveniles can do a full body shed in a matter of hours. In those instances, I hold off on misting until they have fully shed. I do not mist the enclosure or the chameleon at all. I supplement with a dripper and hydrating bugs like silkworms. My ambient room humidity is...

If my chameleons are actively shedding I don’t spray them directly with water. It seems to make their shed go faster and come off cleaner. But I give them hydrating bugs on shed days. It has worked for me. But I’m a hand sprayer and never use a mist system. I saw a few nasty turds get...

I saw this online and thought it has to be bogus, right? That’s clearly a mature orange-eyed Parsons male. For $750.00 at Texas Reptiles International. I messaged them to see if this is real.

Go to 7:00 in this video: You can get a PVC and screen enclosure from: http://pmherps.com/cagenew.html

I think you are referring to Rango’s casque. It does appear lighter than the rest of his body, but he may just be feeling nervous about being near you. You can expect him to become less tolerant of handling as he matures into an adult male. My guy never got aggressive but he was defensive...

Silas, that’s very admirable. I can tell you with 10 years of experience, I’m still learning. And no two chameleons are the same, even in the same morph and sex. We all want to help keepers avoid unnecessary cost and stress in raising these creatures. Monetizing it though is very...

Go with silkworms. I don’t want to smell or clean hornworm poop ever again!

That space will be gone when these guys get the Dragon Strand atriums side by side haha.

Wow your Walter was a stunner! I always like watching Neptune’s videos about her female Parsons named Luna. She looked like a little sweetheart.

This is Walter, a juvenile male Ambanja I got from Fram’s. He’s a sweetheart and now lives next to my juvenile male Ambilobe named Albert. Walt is already showing some stunning colors. Walt has a sweet and tolerant temperment. Albert is shy but total reckless abandon when it’s time to...
