Welcome NorCalInvs and congrats on your new cham! He's awesome and your experience reminds me a lot of our own b/c Rico is a 4 month old Abilobe sired by Lucifer and when he arrived in the white bag he was going through a shed as well. Lance was great to work with and we couldn't be happier...

OK! Thanks, TPM, pretty much on par with what I assumed but it's nice to know when you can expect to start seeing such growth milestones! :D

I don't know that a tube is really necessary. I'm sure it's possible to just allow the dripper to drip through the cage screening. I assume the main thing is just ensuring your chameleon can access the water so however you get it to drip into the environment should be fine. One thing I'd...

Hey Lil nasty. I've secured it to two sides of the cage with plant ties - you should be able to see the green plastic coated wires coming off it. I just punched two sets of small holes just under the rim at about 90 degrees apart and threaded the plant tie through the holes then twisted to...

I'm still pretty new to keeping chameleons so I have to ask... What are "man stains" and, assuming it's what I think it is, how old are they before they typically start leaving them???

Not a problem - glad I could help! I feel like more of a contributor now! I've learned so much from so many great members on this forum that it's nice to be able to help others; that's what we're all here for after all!

Haaa! I don't know Benny but being that he's, "a bit more scientific," as laurie posted, I imagine that the term "break through" holds a completely different connotation for him! Being less scientific myself, I'm still impressed with your "break through"! :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D

I'm on the same page as Brad. I think the real plants are just a lot more...well, REAL! They offer a more realistic environment and there's the added benefit that they should help keep moisture/humidity higher, (though I struggle with keeping it high in Rico's cage I wonder what it would be...

Yes. I've posted an album called Rico's world that has some pics of him! https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/rcutchens-albums-rico-s-world.html

Hi shells - well, I'm not sure the exact diameter that you're dealing with but assuming it's 1/4" tubing what I did and what I believe most people do is "drill" a hole through the mesh/screen just large enough to push the tubing through either on the top of the cage of even in one of the sides...

Thanks! I've been using warm water but Rico hasn't responded quite like that yet. He's younger though and I wonder if that may have something to do with it. Without knowing for sure I suspect they may become more emboldened as they grow older and presumably wiser so as to be less "fearful" of...

That's AWESOME and congratulations, shells! Rico has no problem taking food from a cup or tweezers/thongs or even by hand but I've yet to see him drink from the dripper nor really get motivated by the mistings even when using warm water which we do every time. Any tips/advice on how you got...

I'm certainly no expert and have limited experience keeping chameleons but I am confident that they do have a memory that allows them to recognize objects and possibly even people. I know, for example, that Rico definitely recognizes the clear platic cup we use to feed him and comes over to...

Hi mite, haven't heard in a while and wondered if there were any updates on your chameleon's condition? I hope he's improved.

Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately I ordered the Mist King before your post. Not that the Mist King was a poor choice at all as the reviews and feedback I've seen and received have been great but I would have liked to have researched the Pro-Mist system as well. I did go out and look at the...

Hey Mouse - Randle looks cool! I love the picture where he's coming down the branch and staring at the camera lens! I think that's the one that carol noticed the gular edema initially but I kind of notice it in the other pictures as well. Not sure if anything to be alarmed about but there are...

Thanks, ghettomike! This feedback really helps and I appreciate it. I am going to go ahead and order the Mist King starter kit for Rico. The shipping is kind of high, $30, so I'm going to skip the Zipdrip valve and seconds timer for now. I know that the typical digital timers rely on a...

Quin is one awesome looking chameleon! Thanks for sharing the great pics!

Rico catches the chameleon paparazzi snapping photos...AGAIN!

Have/do you use the Mister Moisture Misting System offered by LLLReptile and can you please provide feedback?
