I think the MBD section is something all memebers should read. Nothing to complex but still insightful enough to give you a good understanding.

Chameleons teeth really are not big enough to puncture the skin all the way (most of them anyway). I guess the exception is if they thrash their head back and forth. Then they tear up enough of an area to draw blood. A healthy adult should have enough pressure to make you think your finger...

If you shop around alot of times you can find aluminum that is coated or covered with an assortment of things. If the frame itself is not rusting you might be able to just replace the screen. Sorry I do not really have an internet source to show you what I am talking about.

No offense intended but that line just made me laugh.

The only way to know the age is by the birth date. They have extremely variable growth rates so it is any bodies guess. As for the bump. I would suggest starting a new thread in the "Health Clinic". Put the picture and redo your story there. This will yeild you your best results. I...

Well there are only three things I have heard suggested on vomiting reasons. One he ate to much at once. Bigger food then he could handle, perhaps not chewing it enough, not in your case but sometimes chameleons can actually catch more then one insect at a time. I read over some of your...

Branch selection can make or break a cage. First check the bark condition. In my area there are alot of various fungus problems and disease that spread in the trees, especially around my area. Any thing like this should be just left on the ground. Some branches may look good at first...

The amount of UVb that those lights are producing is nothing in comparison to the sun. You do not have to do anything different with your set-up if you don't want to. While you have multiple UVb lights it will still only penetrate so far down. The vegatation will absorb the UVb so once she...

I agree with what has been speculated so far. In a MBD case fiberoids could have developed causing a pinched nerve or just limited rotation. Possible that he has a broke bone. Constipation/impaction can cause a pinched nerve in some cases. Another possability is that he fell. Could...

Have seen some owners that use lower side lights. If you want to I would suggest putting more vegatation around it. This way if you where say in the room doing something she could still bask and hide. Some keepers like putting the basking bulb further away from the UVb lighting. So they can...

If you can find some decent sized plants you could simply elevate them on a stand or some flower pots. At least until they have time to grow larger.

Yes they are safe. You got to remember that reptiles where most likely been eating dragonflies...well before the dinosaurs where around. Seems like a classic choice if you ask me. Big, juice and nasty all the things a chameleon loves.

Those are rivots no doubt. You will have to drill them out as said. Becareful when you do this. The surround is aluminum and can be deformed easily. Do not apply to much pressure when you are holding it or drilling. Also remember this when you put in different screws. Take the screws...

They could be sexually mature already. No real age or exact answer to this one. It is best to wait until the female is fully grown or close to it. Depending on when she actually became mature you may have to wait until her second development cycle in order for her to be receptive. She will...

I guess I could not really pic one for the poll. I use both. I like the store bought kinds. I liked the fluker vines the least. It seemed after several disassemblies that they just ripped up on me but on the other hand they still do look very cool. I like offering big branches for my male...

I got to say you will be better off with the humidifier. I had this weird little thing I made to house a fogger on top of a reptarium. It looked cool. Kind of like a little cloud in my jackson's cage. The first diffuser disc seemed like it went a week. The next one a couple hours. The...

Sorry to double post. I looked around again and it said there where copyright issues with it on YouTube. I did however look on the National Geographic website. They said it would air on their channel on Christmas day at 1pm. I never saved it the first time. I will not make that...

Yes, I believe so Will. That was a cool show. Roo posted it on here before. I tried to back to his old post but the link was dead. Sorry guys I was not trying to depress anyone or anything like that. I thought it was cool seeing a chameleon that size eating a bug that big. I also liked...

I can not find any more clips of this on the net but there use to be footage of a chameleon attacking a Cobra and winning. You can not get lucky everytime though.

I suppose he could still be adjusting. Sometimes if the cage does not have enough easy climbing options or dense enough hiding spots you will see some pacing around/on the screen alot of times. Not the smartest animals and they seemingly will keep walking about tell they find what they are...
