    Calcium PLUS - how often?

    Well, what a seemingly obscure topic. I am glad this is being brought up, very constructive and much needed topic to cover...again. Going off of Kammers personal endorsement, I started using this product during every feeding (per the guidance of Kammers). About six months down the road I...

    T5 arcadia 12% fixture:)

    Was is not decided that the 12% was deemed too intense for the majority of chameleons?

    The definitive lighting thread! Everything you really need to know

    Why we do not have a sticky lighting thread, that is kept up to date is beyond me.. https://www.chameleonforums.com/current-consensus-lighting-89392/

    My Quads are turning 7 months old

    I see no reason why they would not be toxic to chams. I have seen many people use them though, in addition to other notably toxic plants. What I was eluding to in a round about way was some chameleons may know what not to eat or may avoid eating certain types, and or eating small amounts and...

    So... I ate my cricket gutload today...

    I think I have tried just about every food mix that I have used since I was a kid. Everything from seven or eight different iguana mixes, tortoise mixes, box turtle food, various GUTLOADS, different worm types, etc. Kudos on the tasting!

    My Quads are turning 7 months old

    Very well done. I commend your results. What is your supplement and feeding regime? Your plant on the left is a "Gold Dust Croton", Codiaeum spp./variegatum (a toxic species, which comes to show how much more applications we may have with plants. I have seen many people use this species...

    For everyone who KNOWS you can't keep chams in glass

    Chris, thank you for taking the time to post an update. How have your larger montanes been doing (e.g. T. quadricornus)? What is the range of your humidity levels and are you using the tank tops as is (completely open screen tops)? You are still using one 5.0 reptisun compact and one...

    This has been my gut feeling ever since day one from firing up my 5.0's on my first panther groups... Amen

    You may have posted it elsewhere already, but would you mind posting photos of your setups and care regime for these guys? Beautiful animals, thanks for sharing!

    For everyone who KNOWS you can't keep chams in glass

    Chris, any chance of an update on these setups. Production and long term maintaining results, plant growth, other pros and cons that have revealed?

    The current consensus in lighting?

    Lol. My apologies. I was asking in regards to HO T5's. But I believe that I have seen Zoo Med HO T5 fixtures and bulbs sold for reptiles when I think about it.

    The current consensus in lighting?

    Thanks for the input. I use 6500k HO T5's for my planted/frog tanks. Works wonders. But is anyone making T5 or HO T5 bulbs that contain the necessary UVB output needed to maintain chameleons? Heat output in T5's is anything one would need to worry about. For my glass frog enclosures, I use...

    The current consensus in lighting?

    Well as time goes on, companies and individuals alike try new things and define new possibilities and methodology. I am curious as to where this has gone in terms of lighting with chameleons. LLL Reptile posted a video fairly recently on setting up a Peacock cham, and in their setup they...

    I dissected a small virgin female not too long ago and found some interesting results. I will have to post some photos and a description.

    Where the passion takes you...

    I just had to comment on this cause I was laughing when going over some of my older posts. I didn't really start trying to properly maintain chameleons over long periods of time until the last few years. Now...here is a mere section of my chameleon room. A baby room is under construction now...

    How to build weight on WC chams

    So I have a group of Hawaiian field collect jacksoni I am trying to build weight on. Some have good appetites, some do not. Even with some that eat regularly, they are just not gaining the weight that they should. I think that fecal floats are the next step for them. Some have weakly protruding...

    Sick male panther

    There is an interesting question. Covering you plant bases?. I'm sure many of us have seen our panthers chew on stick edges and branches. I wonder if the chameleon purposely ingested the rock. I know Ed and Kammers has also always been aware of the stick chewing behavior in panthers and has...

    Can i dust Repashy calcium plus icb everyday

    Just talked to Ed and Libby Kammer of Kammerflage Kreations this weekend about this. They have had years of good results now using solely daily dusting of this supplement. I just picked up a whole case myself!
