I have 2 LLL cages. While they serve their purpose, I just can't help but DESPISE the "no handle" conundrum, and I dislike the locks. I also get very annoyed with the 24x24x48 front-top panel (above the door). I always hit my hand on it or bonk my chameleon's head on it while taking him out. I...

Thank you both! She is doing really well with me, though she's a stubborn drinker and very feisty when I have to reach my hand in to the enclosure for spot cleaning and food.

The other week I found an ad online for a female veiled. In the pictures she looked young, healthy and vibrant. The ad also came with two 18x18x36 mesh enclosures. I decided to go for it even though he was asking a bit much. When he dropped her off I noticed some large burns to her side, spinal...

Greeting everyone, Has any one ever used these, or know of where I can find readings on these? I was given two 24" T5 Desert bulbs for free and figured I could use them for a free range so I could make sure the UVB output wouldn't be too powerful considering they are desert. Anyways, any...

The Zoo Med blue daylight bulb is the one I use, and I love it. Gives off an appealing light, and it provides UVA (not UVB!), so that is always a bonus. I haven't had any burn out on me so far and it's been a couple months. Just make sure your fixture can handle the desired wattage (I generally...

I've actually seen a documentary clip of Nosy Be (might have been David Attenborough) who was looking at the chameleons on Nosy Be island and the panthers looked just like the green/blue/red Nosy Be WC breeder that the panther company has. Ever since that documentary, I have sort of overlooked...

Stunning work! I'm sure at a quick first glance this could pass off as real!

Where do you get pure organic top soil from? And does it have vermiculite or perlite in it?

Hey y'all, Just wondering if anyone could share some wisdom on whether or not a 50/50 mix of sphagnum peat moss and play sand would be okay for a laying substrate? I can't find soil without vermiculite or perlite anywhere, but I did find a giant bag of peat moss for only $6. I tried just using...

Is this mite spray non-toxic to chameleons? Where can I get it?

Hello everyone, Yesterday i discovered a MASSIVE outbreak of mites coming from my supers and meal worms. So much so, that they were climbing up my enclosures. The odd thing is that Friday was superworm day and there were no signs of mites. I wiped down everything and pitched over 500 superworms...

Haven't seen Zippy in so long! He looks absolutely amazing. Thanks for the update :D

So nice! Can't wait for his babies :)

Yes he is quite healthy! Very straight horns and limbs, and his eyes are aware. His sub-species is xantholophus, the more common species of jacksons kept in captivity. Everyone else has informed you with some great information. Edit** as far as the store being wrong about his age, in this...

Welcome to the forums, glad you found us! First and foremost, your jacksons is MUCH older then a month old. Possibly closer to 8 months considering his horns are so far along. As for your set up, it is a good start, but might I suggest removing the substrate (you might be using it for humidity)...

Lookin' like an ambilobe. Nice red bar green body though!

Symphonica, You made a simple question and experiment into a huge deal. Relax… It was literally just a question at the beginning, and then I clarified everything in my following posts and made it into an experiment. Your response was after this, so yes I would expect for you to have read that...

That is incorrect. The sockets are ceramic and they have the aluminium reflectors, which is quite suitable for higher wattage bulbs. That is why I decided to try this out in the first place. I used to be in electrical and worked with lighting every day. I didn't experiment with bulb wattage vs...

Zoo Med 60W Blue Daylight bulb installed. Giving off good heat, does not appear to be burning hot. Stay tuned.

Okay so I did some research and there are multiple cases stating that users have had no problems with heat bulbs up to 60W. The sockets aren't plastic. Even Big Apple's Herps did a review on them and stated that people have been using heat with them as well. The compact tops also have the metal...
