Thanks Chad and Jessica. And Merry Christmas to you all and have a great New Year. Michael

Hello, Does this statement 'chameleons should be misted heavily' mean that you actually mist the animal? Not just the leaves and vines in the cage? I have read at screameleons site that you should not mist the animal directly. Can someone please clarify? Thank you. Michael

Hi Everyone, I am new to the world of chameleons and I am getting a Panther chameleon in January. I have read that different colors and shades could mean different things, like the animal is stressed, is sick etc. Can you anyone provide me a link where I can read more about this? I would love...

Great info Dave, thank you. The only reason I was considering the megaray was because I have a few extra ones sitting around AND from my tests I have seen that I can adjust its height a bit and get very desirable results. I do have a Reptisun at hand incase I need to make a switch so I have...

Yeh I have a UVB meter that I have been using since I use many of these bulbs for my turtles and tortoises. What is the minimum UVB output that chameleons need for their well being and what is the maximum UVB output that they can tolerate? Hallenhe, a good mercury vapor bulb wouldn't have to...

Lol...yeh but it is actually my tortoise house. It is a 20' by 15' house that I built this year for my tortoises. I call it a house, instead of calling it a shed, because it has better windows, better insulation and better frame than our house :). Michael

Hello, I was wondering if anyone out here uses mercury vapor bulbs as a UVB source for their chameleon. I have used Megaray bulbs with great success with my turtles and tortoises and I am considering using a 60 watt external ballaster Megaray bulb for my panther chameleon. Any thoughts on this...

Thank you. Thanks for the tip guys. I am assuming that once I add the heat lamp the humidity near the basking area would drop a bit so I am going to check that out. I will setup the cage next Monday, hopefully, and monitor it for a week before the chamelon arrives. This should give me...

Hi Everyone, I am buying a panther chameleon which is my first chameleon. I have read many caresheets and talked to a few breeders and have its cage ready. I was wondering if you folks have any tips on how to help the chameleon settle into its new environment and how to help it get used to me...
