Sweet! I do want to try it for the fact I can moniter it and see him eat...I have a small plastic bowl I am thinking of suspending or attaching to the side of his enclosure...hmmmm
I have been getting mixed messages about lighting and how much and how long!! I have also heard basking lamp for 10-12 hrs and no more than 4 hr a day for uva uvb. That is stressfull. I spray for 30+ seconds working on getting live plants for help with humidity for sure, hopefully tomorrow...
yea i just saw a posted pic of one that hangs inside the cage, are they textured on the backside so the crickets can climb and the chams can catch? His enclosure is too small for this now but it seems like a good near future idea.
I don't like being told that I am going to kill him. It is a vented terrarium not a glass aquarium.

Oh and normally I don't step into these "arguments" BUT I feel that we have ALL acknowledged his mistake (him included im sure), Seriously five people have pointed out only one really needed to, and we should all just TALK, not argue, on how he should fix it and dont say rude things or put him...
I just don't feel as if people are getting the details i have provided and actually hearing me out!! I have followed the advice given and am here for it! READ ALL THAT I HAVE POSTED!
He dosen't do it alot only after being fed inside and out. Day temp inside is 80-85 and night is 70-75... and i still have not had him outside ever for more than 10 min or so because I haven't had much time and I am paranoid about all of the bugs out here in the country (most of which are way...
If anyone has "blueprints" for a good enclosure I would like to hear your DIY tips!! I would really love to have a hanging cloth/mesh enclosure but I don't know if they are realistically the best way to go!! Either way I am going to build a framed screen enclosure...Want to have it ready in less...
Thank you guys! Yes it is vented at the front bottom and the top is open.... I have plans to build my own screen or mesh enclosure this is temporary and he is soooooo small that it was the best I could do. However if anyone has "blueprints" for a good enclosure I would like to hear your DIY tips!!
Like I said before, two sides open and he usually climbs out and adventures to the airplane plant that is on the table beside it. Either way, I have to decided to change the routine and take him out a couple of hours earlier and just put him on the airplane plant. I have also noticed on the...
I live in TX and have been taking him out at 10-11 am, yes he has a front and top vented glass enclosure but i open the front and top and he will hang out outside of it... I should probably let him out earlier in the morning it has been getting to the 100s lately!
Just a Newby question, do chameleons hunt with their mouths open? My little guy seems to do just this mostly in the morning, after I put crickets in with him. He is also getting his daily dose of sun during this time, I take him out in his tank but open it up...guess I want to double check and...
