I have a dripper setup that I made but I have never really seen Rico drink from it and I don't know why but it bothers me. His urates look fine and others have said they don't see their chams drink and that I shouldn't worry so I did stop worrying. Even still, I'd feel a lot better if I saw...

Sounds like Mist King is the way to go. I am looking at getting the Mist King Starter Misting System with one misting nozzle as it seems to have everything needed at a decent price. I have a few questions I'm hoping others can help me with answering. 1. Are you using your mister with or...

Hi Tommy - One thing I fogot is that you'd mentioned decorating the back of the cage and I agree, asthetically it looks better and one of the added benefits is that you can provide more areas for your chameleon to explore and hide in. If you look at the pictures of Rico's setup I took some...

Hi Tommy - I have pictures of Rico's setup in the album I posted https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/rcutchens-albums-rico-s-world.html

Awesome! How old is he again?

Hi all. Well, the reviews were right and I should have known they would be - the Zoo Med Habba Mist just didn't deliver and I returned it to PetCo. It's a great concept and I think it could be a really decent misting system if they'd just work on improving it a bit. Two things would help...

I don't know about others but we started cup feeding Rico about 10 days ago now and we just use a clear Silo cup. We actually use two - one to dust the crickets in and the other to dump the dusted crickets into and then feed him so that he doesn't get any excess calcium from the first cup. We...

Hey TommyTsunami88 - I suspect you're probably misting as well as running a dipper so water collection/management is typically a challenge. I'm not sure how many potted plants you have in your setup but, with ours, we have five smaller (approx 6" tall, 6" diameter) pots with plants in them...

Rico arrived in a cloth bag with a drawstring tie. The bag was surrounded in shredded newspaper which was inside of a styrofoam outer shell inside of the box. There was also a small heat pack placed at the bottom wrapped in folded newspaper. I was pretty nervous to open the box and bag when...

Thanks you all for the feedback; as always, it's greatly appreciated. I also want to apologize for dwelling so much on supplementation as of late. I have to admit that I have become overly concerned about MBD issues and just want to do everything possible to help ensure Rico is never afflicted...

After a considerable amount of reading about MBD here at CF I'm even more concerned about it because it seems that even some of the most experienced owners have had chams that developed some form of MBD; even when seemingly doing everything right. This left me with more questions on the...

While cleaning the cricket keeper tonight I thought about the possibility of using calcium and/or Herptivite as a gutload for the crickets. Has anyone ever tried this and is it recommended or would others advise against it? Just curious.

Hi mitevstaikov - how are things with your veiled? Have you seen any improvement?

Hey alex - how's Papa Smurf's toe doing?

Hi theirin. I was looking at doing the same thing and found there's a lot of suppliers out there that offer starter colonies and even some that have kits. Below are a couple I was looking at. You can find more under Classifieds-->Supplies...

I agree but I'm biased because I recommended Papa Smurf! I forgot about the, "Papa Smurf always says.....," line. Wasn't it Brainy Smurf that always said that?

I'm sure it goes without saying but they are AWESOME looking, Steve! Congrats!

Me too - kinda scary and we all feel for your cham as well as you, mitev. Keep us posted and we're all rooting for him!

Thanks, ataraxia. It will be nice to know what your experience with using it is. Hopefully it will help your meller.

Thanks, pssh. So, you give some to your chams kind of supplement from time to time? Sorry to hear about your Pygmy as well.
