Soooo...about those fertilizers. I think it would make a tremendous difference if I included a subtle amount within the plant. Suggestions?

I pretty much have 2 UVB bulbs- a 10.0 faced downward and a 5.0 clipped to the side facing the plant. I suck at keeping plants. Oh well, I'll try a little snippet out of everyone's reccomendations and hopefully work out a way to keep them alive. I don't think I'm ever going to buy a Ficus again...

Every 6 months, in intervals, I rotate my dead plants outside to hopeully revive them, and purchase 2 new plants to place in my Panther's and Veiled's enclosure. I'm currently working with a dead/dying Ficus and Umbrella that have about 7 leaves on the entire plant and hate throwing away a plant...

Hey Jeremy- Welcome! :D Research is the key to properly maintaining a healthy chameleon, so if you're truly interested, I recommend you study up. You sound to be in the proper environment with adequate knowledge and a plan to care for the chameleon, so you're on the right track. A good...

Frequent handling may stress them, but if you keep it to a minimal they should be fine. Don't grab them, or force them off the branch- rather allow them to climb onto or gently coax them onto your hand and that should relieve some stress.

Thanks guys...Thanks for the compliments, you're so sweet to me :( LOL

A thong for your hunnie, huh Tyler? Well then, you already know my shipping address so send away. :D

...On second thought, Mike, I may want a baby Deremenis instead of a baby Quad- LOL...

Very sorry for your loss. If anyone on this forum could even begin to determine the cause of her death, you'd need to describe the symptoms she displayed before/after death. Bruises, lumps in her abdomen- there are so many variables that could have lead to this...there are still so many...

A little bit off the subject... The Binder Park Zoo (My local zoo) in Battle Creek, MI just recieved a new Alligator snapping turtle on temporary exhibit. The turtle named "Crunch" is estimated to be 165 lbs and over 150 years old. I've seen him personally, and he is said to be in his 'midlife'...

My thoughts exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Welcome to the Forums, Although you mentioned this is your first time posting here, and you're a lurker, I'm sure you know this forum is full of a ton of knowledgable people willing to help with all of your chamelen questions, so ask away. :D I'd do as Frank reccomended and update his...

Heika, It's a VERY good thing you weren't wearing shoes...I don't think she would have made it otherwise. Glad she did, good luck.

Snap-a-million. I actually know what it is and I can't guess. That's no fun. LOL.

That takes quite an attentive eye to make such observasions, Will. Lovely :eek: *barf* Haha.

"SQUIRT" I swear hornworms pop when the chameleon bites down on them. I have to stand 3 feet away. Nice pics, Willy...that chameleon is shedding in like every pic I've seen of him.

Yes, I left them in the boxes while I slept, but I did make sure the paper towels were moist enough to keep the humidity up. I wouldn't even contemplate shipping him before or after you arrive- so many different variables to be dealt with, it's stressful on the chameleon, and a number of...

In my personal experience (I was taking 1.0 Veiled and 1.0 Panther), I placed them in cardboard-boxes lined with damp paper towel and plenty of ventilation holes so fresh air could circulate. I placed one branch tightly secured to both sides of the box so the chameleon had something to cling to...

Love that pic of the female. :D Not sure where I heard this, but someone once told me that they have extremely slow growth rates. True?

Oh ho ho, let me tell you- they have teeth, oh boy they do, and they sure can pack a wallop of a bite. I've only been bit twice by my adult Male Veiled, but it broke the skin both times, and I had to literally 'pry' him of my arm becuase he had the death hold on me. I'm a girl, so I may...
