Sully looks beautiful. So does Jethro. My first cham, a sambava x ambanja male, will arrive in a week and I can't wait. I am very nervous, lol. Good luck to you and Sully. Have fun. Michael

Hi Kara, Just curious, how do you dust your crickets? Say you are feeding 10 crickets then do you dust all 10 of them or just say 5 of them? Do you use calcium and vitamin mix during every feed or do you use the vitamin mix only once a week? Michael

Hi Folks, Ok, so I read that leaving a dripper on all day long is not a good choice and thought that automatic misting systems is the way to go. But looks like many of you out here use the dripper than an automatic misting system. So I was wondering if experienced keepers can tell me how to...

Wow...looks like a busy day Sandra. I see that you don't mist the chameleons until the afternoon so prior to that do they get water from the dripper or do you have automatic misting systems setup? Michael

Hi Kara, Do you mean you use filtered water to mist the chameleon? Do you boil the filtered tap water and then use it? Does the chlorine in the tap water hurt the chameleons? Can you use dechlorinators that they sell for use with aquarium water? Michael

I was aware that wax worms are very fatty and was planning on using it sparingly. I use it with turtles that are sick to fatten them up. Do you guys breed your roaches or do you buy them online? Any recommendations for a good site for roaches and crickets? Oh and how do you guys store the...

Hi Everyone, I am planning on using gut loaded crickets as the staple feeder for my 6 month old male panther chameleon. I am planning on supplementing this with maybe phoenix worms once a week and maybe wax worms a couple of times a month. Does this sound good or should I be adding more feeder...

Thanks guys. Dragongoddess, what is cricket crack? Do you buy it at the classifieds section here? Michael

Thanks Kara. Couple of questions 1. What do you mean by 'use a pipet to hand water the chameleon'? Do you drip drops of water from the pipet in front of the cham and let it drink? 2. I have read that the dripper should not be left dripping all day because the cage should dry out between...

Hello, I am getting a 6 month old male panther chameleon and I am trying to decide how many 1/2 crickets I should buy or order each time. How quickly do crickets grow? How many days or weeks will a 1/2" cricket need to grow to be too big to be fed to a 6 month old male panther chameleon...

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone had a great Christmas. With just a week to go before my 6 month old male panther chameleon arrives I am trying to decide on my daily routine for its care. I was hoping that experienced keepers can share their routine based on what works best for their animals...

Thanks Jessica. That thread doesn't show the picture anymore but I did get to see good comparison pictures in one of the blog sites and I now know what to look for. Michael

:) No, he doesn't have a name yet. My 4 year old will probably take on that responsibility. Michael

Thanks Sandra. So the yellow lining on the mouth as seen on the first picture in that album is common? Michael

Do you guys use Vinegar as it is or do you dilute it? And will vinegar alone disinfect the surfaces or do I need to use vinegar followed by peroxide followed by steam? Oh, do you use this combo on fake plants and the fake vines? Michael

Thought I will give everyone a brief update on how I am planning on hosing the chameleon. The cham will be 6 months old when I receive it. Cage - 18x18x36 - I am worried it might be a touch too big for this guy but the breeder recommended it so I am going with it and will keep a close eye to...

Just curious, is that yellow color at the edge of his mouth something to be worried about? Michael

Here is one picture that I received from the breeder. Got to tell you, it is like having a baby...I am very nervous. Michael

It is a 5 month old male Sambava x Ambanja from Chameleonsnorthwest.com. Michael

Perfect. I assume you use room temperature water. Right? Michael
