I don't think they're getting out of the cup as I stand and watch my cham eat everything I give to him (I count the tongue shots). However, I have doubled up on the packing tape inside the cricket bin, re-sealed the lid, and just for good measure re-glued all the screens today. Additionally...

Sounds like you need to do some experiments and report back with the info!

Another open-ended thread from me. What does your chameleon spend most of their time doing during the day? My guy seems to spend 6-9 hours basking (not all at once) spaced out with periodic bouts of climbing up and down and around. What does yours do? -Chad

Hi Forum-ers, I am having a problem I'm sure many of you are familiar with: Cricket escapes. I live in a small apartment, so this issue is a big one for me. I realize that escapes of feeders are inevitable, but I'm seeing 2-3 per day wandering the baseboards. I have a plastic tote-bin with...

I found a thread from earlier this year where jannb says grapes are safe: https://www.chameleonforums.com/vegetables-72380/

It depends on your drainage situation. Most drippers will empty after a few hours, much faster than the water will evaporate from the floor without any kind of drain. What kind of substrate are you using? Most people choose not to use one due to bacteria and potential ingestion/impaction...

So I got home from work today only to find Tesla escaped! A piece of the screen for his cage broke somehow during the day and he was nowhere to be found inside. However, having seen the advice of forum-goers who have had escapes in the past I decided to have a good look for him instead of...

The title says it all, but let me put it in context: My cham seems to be aware of my presence most of the time I'm in the room where his enclosure is and takes cover if I come any closer than about 10 feet (he's a juvenile still). I'm wondering if anyone on the forum knows how good their...

Hiya, The emission wavelengths of LEDs depend on what the P-N junction itself is actually made of (the little bits you can see inside the LED case). As electrons recombine with vacancies across the junction they release photons with energies (wavelengths) proportional to the difference in...

Tesla (named for Nikola Tesla) is a 3 month old male veiled and my first cham. Picked him up yesterday and haven't been able to keep myself from watching him (from afar) since! I'm sure I'll be posting questions as I go through my new-dad phase, but for now just check him out! -Chad

Hi reader, I was hoping you could take a look at my setup and double check for me that I've got everything correct for a 3-4 month old veiled male before I get him (Soon!). Enclosure: 14w x 22l x 30h glass on the bottom half (for humidity), screen on the top half. I also have a 24x24x50...

Maybe something you could consider is having an expandable number of plugs. One timer/controller unit has 4 output channels, each output channel handles 4 outlets (meaning up to 16 outlets controlled in groups of 4). The base model comes with the generic 4 channel controller and one set of 4...

I can't speak for people's personal experiences, but to me all products like these are junk science. I am a true skeptic, but then I study nanoscience and produce nanomaterials for a living and have experience with quantum mechanical experimentation. I actually cannot understand the "nano" wand...

Indeed, as many others on the forums will tell you I'm sure, the Mistking system is excellent. I bought the starter kit and it was the best value I've seen in a long long time. Well worth the outlay in my opinion, and it really will make your life easier. -Chad

Looks good. I just made one that looks almost identical last week but I water sealed it with outdoor wood sealer and installed a piece of 1/8" thick HDPE sheeting on the bottom to make cleanup easier (otherwise, it's the same). What size screen are you using? Also, have you put a barrier around...

You could try a glass film like one of these: http://apex-window-film-store.com/store/home.php?cat=355 or a frosted overlay: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Window_Film/Solutions/Markets-Products/Residential/Fasara_Decorative_Window_Films/Fabric-Frost-Mat_Patterns/ For a quick fix...

I have plans to make an enclosure out of screen, and then attach removable glass panels over 1 or more sides to allow variable ventilation and humidity control since my region tends to fluctuate wildly. Has anyone tried this before?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has come across this information site before: http://webhome.idirect.com/~chameleon/owners/index.html If so, what do you think of it? It seems to me that some of it is alright, but a number of points are a bit loosely defined or stated. Debate...
