Hello all, I haven't been posting much of late due to business at work. Hope you and your guys are all keeping well. Was cleaning out Soc's enclosure today and though I'd get a couple of snaps as he's colouring up beautifully. He's becoming less shy has about doubled in size since I got him...

Hey, So it's my third week with Socrates, my Ambilobe Panther. When I got him he was 3 months, very small and just starting to show suggestions of colour. Since then. he's grown a lot, seems to be getting more confident and every week I clean him out he's got a lot of more colour! The sire...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone know of an easy way to keep automister water warm. I saw threads like this one where people have made awesome DIY methods, but I'm rubbish with electrical stuff and wouldn't know where to start. Does anyone know of a more accessible way to keep water warm...

Hello, So I've had little Socs for two weeks now. He was three months when I got him. It may just be my imagination, but I'm sure he's already grown so much! Even more pleasing is that he's developed more colour already too. As far as I can tell he's shed twice now and a little more has come...

Hello, I was wondering how people gutloaded their crickets. Not what with, but the method to actually do it. I've been separating crickets from the Kricket Keeper (about 15-20 at a time) into the containers that crickets ship in. Then, I've been putting thinly sliced carrots and limes in...

Hello! Im just setting up my first automister and there is a very light spray making its way up towards my lighting at the top of my all-aluminium screen cage. My lighting is far from getting soaked but there is a fraction of spray visible when it catches the light. Any input on...

Hello! After an unbearable three month wait, I'm finally picking up my first Cham next weekend! He's a 3 month old Ambilobe. Enclosure is all but complete - details soon to be posted in hope of some critique. I was wondering about light cycle times. I leave the house at 9am for work Monday...

Hello! As some of you will know by now, I have my first cham maturing at a reputable UK breeder and will pick him up in a few weeks. He's a blue-barred ambilobe and will be about 12 weeks when i collect him. I've read about chams that are grumpy and some that are friendly but little about...

Hello, So I've been gathering bits for my enclosure for a while now. I pick up my baby Ambilobe in about 5 weeks time or so. It'll be about 12 weeks old by then. The enclosure is 18x18x36 and all aluminium. I still need to get a 60W basking bulb to add to my clamp lamp. The strip light is...

Hello, I ordered the Chameleons of Madagascar DVD on 15th of July. The tracking status on USPS has been on 'Electronic Shipping Info Received' for 11 days now with no sign of a dispatch. I sent the store a post through the 'contact us' part of bookstore a couple of days ago, but no reply...

Hello, So, I've got the whole cricket thing down to a T. Locusts and Superworms I'm still not 100% on. I'm trying keeping locusts in a Kricket Keeper as they have been so awesome at keeping the cricks alive and happy, but the little tykes are too lively, can climb up the sides and dont use...

Hello, So I've been looking around the net for something to keep my enclosure on. I want something that will allow for some drainage, so not a wooden table for example. I have an 18x18x36 aluminum screen enclosure for the pending arrival of my baby ambilobe. He'll be 12 weeks when I get him...

Hello, I'll be starting to set up for my new cham this week, the equipment is on its way in the mail. I'm buying an automatic mister as I work Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm. I've read how baby chams can get stressed if sprayed directly and how it can obviously cause problems if they are...

After a lot of hunting around the web for breeders I've found someone with some baby panthers for sale. They will be 2 months old when I pick one up in two weeks which should give me enough time to get the enclosure set up and monitored to make sure all is good. I wondered what you guys...

Hello, I've a question regarding quantity of feeders. I understand that different bugs have different nutritional values so quantities vary. However I found a post here where one person is feeding 15 crickets daily and one here where another person is feeding 2 to 5 bugs a day which...

Advice on enclosure size for a new Cham Hello Chameleon Forums, I recently visited a garden center/pet store and saw a chameleon for the first time. It was love at first sight. Knowing absolutely nothing about keeping chameleons, I resisted the urge to buy the female veiled chameleon...
