    Mistking

    I pump about 40 gallons a week through my mistking systems and I use tap water. Several years now and I have not had an ounce of problem. A new pump every other year would be fine with me, over buying DI Water.

    Tava's tail turning brown??

    It sounds mean, but hold her behind the head (not neck)and she will open her mouth. They seem to hate that. They are fragile but not fine china. Just be careful. Good luck.

    Female Chameleon Digging!

    Which incubation medium are you going to use? I use vermiculite that I get from my local home improvement store in the garden center. I am not as anal as other about the water to medium mix. I put the vermiculite in a container and microwave it to sterilize it. I then add enough water to...

    Power Outage = No Heat

    This is used to heat a 400 sq ft shop where I keep several animals. It consists of a Propane camper heater 20k btu. It is hooked to a battery that is constantly being trickled charged and a thermostat that is set to kick on at 65 degrees f. This is back up in case electric heat goes off. The...

    flexwatt heat tape controller for roaches

    if the room temp gets cold the dimmer will not help hold the container at a constant temp. It will still put out the same amount of energy as always. If its cold you can turn it up to adjust for the cold or you can buy one of the 30 dollar zoo med thermostats and plug the flex watt and dimmer...

    flexwatt heat tape controller for roaches

    hook a light dimmer switch in with the flex watt and control the output with the switch. It wont control thermostatically, but will remain at a constant temp as long as ambient room temp does not flux too much.

    Sleeping panther

    Vet visits always seem to be expensive but that's why most will warn that chameleons are super expensive to keep. I assure the peace of mind you receive from knowing how to help your chameleon is worth the vet visit. I lose sleep when they are not healthy and showing signs of illness. Good...

    Sleeping panther

    His eye does not look good and those colors are concerning. It could be an eye infection or debris in the eye. Using teramyacin for a day or two could cause more problems than it fixes. Antibiotics have to be applied over a certain time in order to effective. Short burst of antibiotics...

    New Enclosure

    Your enclosure looks great but I would cut some plastic strips to cover the oak rails that go across the bottom. Then silicone heavily to avoid getting it wet. From the pic it looks like red oak and red oak is not very water tolerant. White oak on the other hand is. White oak is what whiskey...

    Just curious?

    Chances of success are much higher if you control the environment in which they are kept. If I kept them in the enclosure they would never have the correct moisture amount, temps, etc. My mist system would drown the eggs, temps may increase and decrease more than the ground would. Its a...

    An important question - New to the community

    Keep in mind this is grandma we are speaking about. She is going to be very cautious and concerned about the well being of her grandchild. Which is a good thing. I see no concern with this. Chicken, eggs, pork and the like all have the potential to harbor disease, but with proper cleaning...

    Swollen Underarms

    Looks like edema. Search gular edema and lots of info is available. The cure not so easy. I had a female develop this but I was feeding my dubias a high protein diet. Which I think might contribute to the problem.

    Chameleon passed away after 5 days

    I would not recommend such a young animal. Most reputable breeders won't sell unless they about 1.5-3 months. Are you having them shipped? That can be stressful also.

    Are imports ok?

    WC is too risky in my opinion. If you already had experience with that species I might would say " do it" but not with no experience. Parasites and poor treatment during capture and transport weigh heavily on them and there chances of survival. Granted, back in 95 I bought some montiums that...

    Fruit flies feeding

    Some of your husbandry techniques would be very useful to know right now. There may be other reasons for this behavior. Fill out the form Sandra mentioned earlier and that will help us immensely. As far as fruit flies, just dump 20 or so into an old plastic container with a small amount of...
