Maybe you are referring to Phidippus audax ?? It's very common in north america :D
I love jumping spiders, they are so adorable.You guys ever seen them wearing droplets of dews as hats?
They are also very handy inside the house and will protect you from flies, ants, mosquitos and other...
I like the setup, it's very aesthetically pleasing but your chameleon's health should come first. For now it would do but as he gets older he will need a screen cage to maximize ventilation. You can close off 2 sides in order to retain humidity but most of he enclosure should be screen otherwise...
I keep veiled chameleons, not panthers but I keep my humidity up with general misting and live plants. Keep the compost moist and it should retain humidity.
I have read also that it's okay to panel up 2 sides of the cage as it helps to keep humidity in
In a way I am also lucky as I live in...
Hello guys my name is Stefan and apart from chameleons I am also a tarantula owner and enthusiast.
I live in Europe and Tarantula-Bristol are having a competition on winning a tarantula + free terrarium + some deco
I believe the competition is available to Europeans
One of the choices...
I'm starting to realize there are more Maltese here than I originally thought :D will definitely hit you a pm! Would love to join!
I didn't know there were any cham owners in Malta either ;)
Ah you lucky B!!!! I love rattlesnakes! Western or Eastern? :P
Hehe don't sweat it man :D :D To be fair, I have been absent for a while from here ever since I started shroom farming.
Looks like it's time to upgrade the little guy to a new cage. I didn't see anything that stands out either, everything is pretty much up to standards but since he was...
Okay I found one, it does show, the red nub between the feet
Carol, I'm surprised you don't remember me and my chams :P You had given some good advice when they came to me with URI
I have both sexes, a male and a female and yes I am 100% certain I have a male. I'm not new to chameleons, I know what tarsal spurs are, I know females can lay eggs and takes away their life span....etc etc
This is my male, unfortunately I don't have one where the tarsal spur is showing, I'll...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, I believe around 6months, it's been in my care for 3 months
Handling - Almost none. Randomly take him on the roof around 5pm for some UVB but rare occasion
Feeding - Adult male dubias, gut loaded with my own veggie chow and fresh...
Nice picture capture! Which Forested Area did you visit? :) Mzieb? Buskett? Ahrax tal-Mellieha? :D:D
I never was able to see that many chams in one visiting hehe It's nice to know they are still abundant and thriving ^^
Chameleons have been around for around 200years in Malta and they are...
Does Lee Valley post to Europe or offer any international shipping?
I'll check at my local agricultural stores for misters and nozzles as well but thank you for the links! This has been extremely useful and I am a big fan of DIY :D :D
I would say 7-8months as well but I am no expert. However I am going to bump your post as I'm also interested if there is a way to tell the age of chameleons.
Does anyone have a chart of the ideal weight in relation to their age?
I recently (month ago) bought 2 of these infrared temp guns;

And they work super great! I haven't had any trouble with them and are...
Could you link me to the ebay pump you bought and transformer please?
I'm also interested in this and how you set it up (picture would be nice, perhaps do a guide? :D:D)
I'm about to invest in a mistking system. If I can do it myself, and cheaper, it would be better for me :p
Yes females will get stressed without any foliage. I give my female veiled lots more foliage than I give to my male as males are more chill about it but females get stressed out.
I am not sure what plant you are talking about being toxic but if it's a ficus you only need to be aware of the...
I have the two veileds, a male and a female. The female has never bitten me and generally will run away if I try to handle her (probably scared from my hand from all those med administrations). The male used to be really really chill and walk on my hand on his own, now he gets aggressive if I...
I like collecting books, especially when it comes to educating yourself on the pet and it's general different species.
I was wondering if there are any good books out there that you would recommend about chameleons?
I'm looking for something like the "tarantula keep guide", a book that...
