    What to do about lazy crickets?

    I've tried Wal-Mart lol and they hardly had anything at all. A few pothos but that's it and the pothos where tiny things climbing up an ugly board. Believe it or not the closest Lowes or Home Depot to me is about 60 miles so before going, I called them and they acted like I was stupid for...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    I tried cup feeding one time briefly and by briefly I mean just once one afternoon. As soon as I started to put the cup in, he got as far as way as possible. I even showed him what was in the cup and he avoided it like the plauge. He seems to really enjoy hunting the crickets as long as...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    He's had a mealworm a couple of times. He loves them but from what I understand, they are the greatest for him and can be sort of hard to digest so he only gets them as a snack like once a week. I've thought about ordering some dubias (without telling me wife lol) and trying those but I've...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    It is for now. I had a ficus in there that died. It got too cold during shipping and I was never able to revive it. It got to the point where it was no longer safe for him because the leaves would fall off as he tried to climb onto them. I was wondering if it was too little in his cage...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    I've thought about hand feeding but my guys really seems to not like being handled or even having me come into his habitat. I tried handing once shortly after I got him to with no luck so I haven't tried since. Here are some pictures of what I have going on. It's sort of bear right now but...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    There is absolutely nothing in the bottom of the habitat. Literally just black plastic liner. Yes, I have the heat lamp at the top of the cage, actually I have two of them. Where I live it is very cold in the winter. During the day I run a 100w ceramic heater in a 10" dome in addition to a...

    What to do about lazy crickets?

    I have either the world's laziest crickets or the world's smartest crickets. Either way I'm having issues. How can I encourge my crickets to not just sit in the bottom of my veiled chameleon's habitat? When I feed, I place the crickets as high as possible but they quickly make their way...

    Do You Mist at Night?

    I was thinking... I got an automatic mister for my new chameleon. Do you guys leave your mister on at night or shut it off and turn it back on in the morning? I've been planning on living mine on at all times but then I thought that if you hand mist, you can't mist all through the night so...

    exo terra?

    You should use distilled water in any system. Tap water contains minerals that can eventually clog and corrode the machine. Distilled water is cheap so there really is no reason for not using it.

    exo terra?

    I've heard many bad things about the waterfalls. Granted they look nice but that's about it. I've actually heard that they can attract the chameleon to it for going to the bathroom making it eventually become nothing more then a cesspool. I have heard good things about the foggers though...

    Need help! with my Veiled Care

    Great looking chameleon. May I ask you a question since I am also new to this? Do you handle your chameleon a lot? It looks as if he's doing a great job in the pictures and doesn't look to be stressed at all. I know everyone says to handle your chameleon as little as possible but...
