    question about repashy calcium plus

    Im interested in this also. Was looking at this earlier in the store today. They were out of calcium without d3 so I wanted to wait and do some reading. Its hard to find calcium without d3. They all seem to have it.

    sky diving.

    Supposedly them jumping like that is a defense mechanism. From what I have read they are capable of taking quite a fall.

    Mistking spray durations??

    I just set up my mistking earlier this week. I saw a few posts about spray schedules and just wondering if anyone can give me some input to mine. Im gone most of the day so I dont really get to see if my guy is drinking. He seems fine in every other aspect. As of right now I have my lights...

    Question about eating..

    My baby veiled tends to crane his head up after he eats a cricket, as hes chewing it. Almost like hes helping it go down. He is still rather small, but the crickets seem appropriate size. I have been getting them from the store I bought him, which is a dedicated reptile store. He has no...

    My guy is LOVING the dowel I put in..

    Yea Joe, just long wooden rods of different diameters. I got mine at home depot, but like was mentioned pretty much any hardware store and very cheap. I didnt treat mine with anything, I used a fine sandpaper and just took off any glue from the sticker and the first layer of wood and then...

    My guy is LOVING the dowel I put in..

    After looking at a few posts about enclosures, I saw a lot of people using wooden dowels. I put one in late last night and this morning hes doing laps around his cage. Hes constantly on it. Gonna throw a few more in.

    New owner of a Veiled chameleon...

    Congrats and nice cage, I am just surprised no one has suggested removing the substrate from the bottom of the cage. I know thats normally frowned upon in a chameleon cage. I know I have seen more than one cham eat dirt from a planter until I covered it with rocks.

    Eyes closed and lighting question..

    The plants are a decent sized pothos and a small umbrella tree. For uvb I have a reptisun 5.0 and a 40 watt light bulb for basking. He actually basks a lot during the day. His basking spot is around 82 degrees.

    Eyes closed and lighting question..

    The only reason I went so crazy with the plants was after looking at some of the pics of forum members enclosures in stickied thread. I mean its not completely dark, but where he is right now hes kind of in a darker part. He was closing one eye and rubbing it on the fake vines I have in...

    Eyes closed and lighting question..

    I know chams shouldn't have their eyes closed during the daytime. My cham is only in my care a few days now. He looks good in every other aspect. But I just noticed him with both eyes closed. I did just put two decent sized live plants that have diminished the available light in the cage...

    Live plant question..

    So I just got a new veiled to put in the cage I had for my old jackson. I had a vertically growing pothos in there but I threw it out bc it was sitting there for a while unattended. I went looking today for some plants but most nurseries here in NY are not really stocked right now. Tried...

    Got a new cham today!

    Hi all, I used to post on here back when I had my jacksons. Unfortunately, he got sick and no matter what I tried, couldnt recover. That was a few months ago. So after just having an empty cage sitting on my desk, I went out shopping today. I know people on here hate the big box stores...
