Wow this thread got wierd quick. I have been a memeber on here for around two years. You don't see a lot of responses by me. If you have seen any recently it was most likely my girlfriend. I see a lot of these questions to be repetative and I don't have much to offer in the way of responses...
A chameleon like that staying low to the ground all the time I would doubt. Them frequenting a place that had standing water is a good possability. A lot of insects use water to breed and this would be a good place to hunt.
It actually produces the best wavelengths for a reptile to properly absorb calcium. The real issue is it also boost wavelengths under this point. It borders on producing UVc which does not naturally occur on Earth. It is normally filtered out by the atmosphere. If mounted to close it could...
Freezing veggies actually makes them lose their nutritional value. With what you have listed the mix would be good for about 3-7 days at maximum potency in freezing conditions.
I suppose collard greens with pesticide contamination is a risk. I would think it unlikely though. Collard...
The general rule of thumb with crickets at least is to not feed them anything that is longer then the width of their mouth.
As far as substrate it is generally not a good idea for a beginner to attempt something like this. It usually ends up being a whole bunch of extra work, worry and with...
Figure out something for that gap.
Keep in mind chameleons have hollow bones. It would be pretty easy for a male to break one of those bones in a hard bite. They tend to face each other head on. This leads to a lot of bites on the lower jaw. A broken jaw means death in the wild or...
I am pretty sure it would Wow. It emits UVc which kills almost anything on the planet.
There is one creature know as the "water bear" which could survive it. On the other hand it can also survive in the vacuum of space, temperatures from -250*F/+400*F, 10 rontgens of radiation and live...
Getting good branches really starts with finding them and asking yourself so pretty basic questions.
Why is this branch on the ground to begin with? A healthy tree does not just loose branches. Something has had to have happened. Has there been a bad thunderstorm recently, high wind...
Looks good. I would suggest (and you mave already did this) is to provide ample branches near the basking lamp. This will let heat themselves a different degrees of heat. I guess I just threw that one out there since it was not fully done to see that area. Again though it looks great.
I guess by now you can gauge that it is some what common with Panthers. Some even will start to bite branches. Others have been reported to eat bark. Just a heads up if you see something like that in the future.
Eating bark could be some what problematic from a medical stand point. Kind...
Does anybody know what the possible side effects of giving a chameleon excess n-3 fatty acids?
Granted in a lot of humans these polyunsaturated fatty acids can be benificial. They can also prove fatal or cause problems. One I would worry about is the suppression of the immune system...
It could be "rot root". If to much moisture stays in your plants it will rot the roots. I add a small layer of rocks to the bottom of all my plant pots. The rocks should be big enough so they can not fall out of the holes. This will help any excess water drain out and allow the soil to dry...
For the longest time I had one of my female veileds right by the window. She loved it. I would catch her staring outside all the time.
I would just evaluate the window situation.
Is it heavy traffic outside the window?
Is it drafty?
Are there any widow makers in the vicenity of the...
I guess I would have to see how your dripper is working in person but assuming it is decent, your chameleon may just not understand it. A lot of chameleons reconize drippers as a water source, some never do or will. I would suggest that you mist longer. If he is moving his jaw around like you...
