I really do not have any pictures of the set up any more. I have not used that system in awhile.
In the first two pictures you can see a nozzle at each end, two tubes leading to a "T" junction and then to an "L" junction piece. This whole thing just went in one cage. When I got the...
I would up your misting to 45-60 minutes a day until he is hydrated. If need be keep it there so he can stay hydrated.
I can not really speak for chameleons but I can for humans. The last thing you need to do when you are dehydrated is eat. Depending on what you eat you can have a...
Seems like you are taking this pretty serious as evident by your set-up which looks great by the way. I have virtually no experience with breeding chameleons. Especially not for money. One thing that did catch my eye was the ratio of males to females. It seems to me like you should have way...
That one should run for five minutes. It will due but make sure that it does not run dry. I never owned any pygmies but I have a hard time believing they would need more water then five minutes.
You can always gather branches and sticks from outside. Wash them with soap and water. Then bake at 200-250*F for a couple of hours. This will help kill any unwanted things that maybe in the branch. You can drill little holes in the end. This will allow you to use wire ties or twist ties to...
I have heard of this behavior quite abit. I have two chameleons that have tried to do this to me. I would take caution when handling chameleons you have seen do this. They can injure their tongues attempting this move on large objects or even if they say missed a food item. Their tongues are...
One thing to remember is wood dimensions are not what they seem. A piece of wood labled as a 2"x2"x8' is actually a 1 1/2"x1 1/2"x8'. Not sure if you knew that or not but was throwing it out there just in case. That could throw off some plans real quick.
Yes it is my first. They have been in incubation since late last Novemeber. I kept going back on how many to keep. I decided on eight. The rest where given to a local breeder. I know they are in good hands with him. I wanted it to be enjoyable and not a huge cost for a potential one time...
Yeah you can use any fixture. Well assuming they are the same size. If you are looking for something cheaper hit Walmart or Home Depot for stuff like this. I got a ballist that holds two 24" flourescent bulbs for $9 at WalMart. Can't beat that.
The bulb rating should be okay. Just when...
Just had a couple shoots of my babies that hatched. Broke my camera so I had to borrow someone elses. Not great pictures. I am just excited and wanted to share.
You could also just drill decent size holes in the bottom. Take some hot glue to attach a small piece of screen over the holes. You can now just place it on a catch container.
A human can normally only hear in the 20-20,000Hz range. The sounds the chameleons make are lower then that. The recording was actually speed up so you could hear it. No different then old tape players. You could hit play and fast foward at the exact same time and it would sound like Alvin &...
No. As water travels through the air it cools off. Take the sprayer after you fill it up and put your hand directly in front of it. Now spray. It will be pretty hot. Take your hand a couple of inches away and spray again. You will feel the differance.
As you can imagine a chameleon...
Get a garden sprayer. These are cheap and you can find one for around $10 at Home Depot, Walmart....etc... Take the resivour and fill it with the hottest water that will come out of the tap. Get the whole cage a little wet. Then just spray over one location close to the chameleon. It should...
A couple times a year. Hard to say with exact time. It occurs similar time frames to females laying the infertile eggs. It really looks like a weird pile of feces or that is the best I can describe it. As long as you hear about it ahead of time you will know it when you see it.
My jackson...
Just because it has a solid bottom does not mean it is not going to flood on to the floor. At this stage you have a small chameleon that requires very little water to sustain his/her hydration. When he/she gets older you will have to have some sort of plan of attack to deal with the excess...
