Most of us here let the uvb go through the screen. Just make sure the chameleon can get within 8 inches of the light bulb. You should remove the substrate but there isn't a big risk of choking, more likely would be that the substrate gets ingested and it impacts the intestines which can lead to...
Sounds like a good idea that I may very well try out. But one ? How sturdy is the structure as a whole? And what kind of adhesive would be best to attatch fine screening where you have mesh?
Sorry no info on the silkie situation. Buuut katydids attract other katydids by the noise they make, its like a song to attract mates. That's the only thing I could find besides that they eat leaves and fruits/veggies so that means they could be gutloaded if you'd want tofeed them off
Yes sunlight is imo about a hundred times better than artificial light. Think about building an outdoor enclosure that you can take your cham out for a few hours at a time to soak up the rays or take them out on your hand or a plant. Just be very careful that he doesn't escape!
I did a little bit when I started out. Don't worry, if you have a proper gutload, good suppliment schedule, and the right uvb lighting that you replace every 6 months then I would not worry about it. You can take your guy to the vet and get a check up to settle your worries and also post a...
Like I said, my heart like dropped when I saw it. It would be a good idea to have a license to keep a reptile or maybe a effin iq test lol. I really don't understand why someone would feed any kind of reptile to something. I thought I was cool and showed people when I taught my dog to play dead...
Welcome to the forum. This is by far the best place on chameleon information. Both veiled or panthers would be a good starter chameleon as they are fairly hardy. You will need a cage that is made completely out of screen, a flourescent linear tube reptisun or reptiglo 5.0 bulb, basking bulb, a...
I have a veiled right now. And I was going to get one of the 5 month olds because they are one of the few who don't have only wc's or only adults. Plus they have a good rep on delivering them alive and healthy
I found it on accident and then watched it to see what it was. Its just ignorant and plain cruel to use a beautiful chameleon as a feeder for a pixie frog:(
http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=CQOlkO1TT8g I hope this takes you to it. Its called pixie frog eats chameleon, I found it on accident and my heart like just dropped
Also read all the hundreds of comments. It gets intense. And I think I need to find where this guy lives and go beat him half to death with a pipe and kill his frog. Just sayin this is like an unforgivable act of cruelty
Just thought it would be cool to start a thread on everybodys favorite species of chameleon. Ill start my favorite two are Triocerus cristatus and Jacksonii xantholophus/jacksonii
iowa. And I now think I am going to be getting the jacksons either this summer or next and a panther this summer or next. There are no pet stores around where I live with jacksons. There used to be but it closed down unfortunately. I don't think them eating a lot will cause too many problems...
He looks awesome! And barbosa would be wc? Lol just give him some viagra and those horns will perk right up :D just kidding lol. Barbosa has awesome color
