Fill this out. It will give us an good overview of your husbandry. Cage Info: * Cage Type - Describe your cage construction (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? * Lighting - What brand, model, and type of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule...

As Ryan said, what about UV lighting and supplements? I would like to add something to keep humidity up, drainage system, gutload, lighting timers, and I think your gonna want more then one plant in there depending on how big the plant is. Not to overwhelm you, just somethings to consider if...

I don't know if there is a way to be sure, but here is what I would check. Know the area in which your catching these bugs, find out which areas are sprayed with pesticides. Know your bugs. Different insects will have different "travel" habbits, compare that with where you caught the bugs...

I'm working on humidity problems as well, but I can give the fairly standard answers to most humidity questions asked around here. 1. Cover a couple sides of this of the enclosure. This didn't work much for me but allot of people suggest it. 2. More live plants. This helped me but not...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great question. I just have never seen it come up as a topic of concern before. There is nothing wrong with being concerned. I would like to know how some senior keepers feel about this.

I have to admit, when I went out to buy plants, I didn't even think about going organic. Not really because I didn't consider the possibilities of buying non organic plants, but merely because most members stated that they purchased their plants from lowes or home depot. Are there some...

Hey conquest. You have plenty of branches in there, which is great, but I have to agree with the other members; you really should replace the face plants with real ones. Also, The bottom of the cage looks solid. How do you intend to handle/drain the massive amount of water need to keep a...

I believe your referring to my post, so I will go into more detail. Waterfalls are not recommended for several reasons: 1. They are difficult to clean. Especially when they are integrated into the enclosure setting, they are almost impossible to fully clean. 2. They breed bacteria. Even...

Pure water vs tap water for the purpose of what? what do you intend to do with the water. I know people who use distiled water and people who use tap water. I use tap water and have not had a problem yet. If you make the enclosure out of wood and do not seal it in some manner, you will have...

http://www.keepingchameleons.com/start/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=47&Itemid=67 Here is a database for safe and harmful plants. When I first got a chameleon I had only fake plants. I can't tell you how much happier and active my cham was when I started to replace the...

Building your own is a great idea, and can offer allot of great options for you to build into the cage during the process. But you likely will not save money by doing it. Between the time invested and the cost of materials, the only way building your own cage is advantages is if you want the...

No Home dept or Lowes around I'm guessing.

Had to say something in a Montane post. You are correct on both Dean, Jacksonii Jacksonii is the rarest and Xantholophus is the most common. PantherVeileD: Everything I have read has adviced against housin Jacksonii Xantholophus together. Have you done this personally?

I don't use them as a stable but my guy sure does love them when he gets a shot at em.

Two words to make cricket keeping super easy: disposable containers.

How do you discourage them from climing on the walls of these screen cages though? I'm having the same problem, I havn't lost any nails yet, but he instists on climbing on the walls all the time and many of his nails are worn down now :(

superworms and oddly enough, he doesn't like wax worms :confused:

I wouldn't suggest picking him up, if you can coax him to move, or bribe him with food, I would do that. I never suggest picking up your cham. They can easily change their minds and put up a fight, and if you don't notice it right away then it can be your limbs vs. their limbs, and...

I can see why that is true with the heat source, but why is that with the UVB source?

Man I wish I could keep mine outside. I'm so jealous of your drainage system.
