I have no idea but as soon as you know, please share it with me! I have 2 in my bedroom, 4 in the living room, one in the dining room, one in the utility room and a pygmie tank in the kitchen... and those are just chameleon cages! I also have 4 leopard geckos, a big old lazy bearded dragon and...

I am so glad I am not the only one that constantly sees pieces of furniture and shelving as cage possibilities. My family thinks I am crazy sometimes!

How many ounces or grams of the concentrate do you have? Just divide that by 32. Then just add a cup of water. (There are 32 cups in 2 gallons). Then you can just make it up as you need it.

Anytime soon would be good.. i move all of my veileds up around 5 or 6 months.

For my baby panthers I try to keep their basking spot around 85-87F. The little guys are more succeptible to overheating. Light bulb brand actually isn't terribly important. You don't need to buy an expensive reptile basking bulb. A regular household bulb will do the trick for now and a...

On the left side of the home page of this website is a link that says "Live Plants". It gives a list of safe plants and their pros and cons. :)

Here is one of my boys.. he is about 18 months old. Cool and calm.. Outside hanging out.. Oops.. the kitty got too close! Angry boy..

I have a few veileds that I have never successfully got to eat plant matter other than a few bites taked out of the pothos in their cages. I have some that will strip their plants bare and will take any greens offered. I think it just depends on the chameleon itself :) I would keep offering...

That is an awful lot of D3 really. I would drop it down to at the most once a week. As long as you have a 5.0 UVB light (preferably repti-sun) that is not older than 6 months and that your chameleon can get within 6 inches of at any time, then that much is unnecessary. Remember.. D3 can build...

Wow Maganda.. he is beautiful. Where is he from?

Do you mean the egg crate flats? If so, the best place to go to get them is a restaurant that serves breakfast. I work at [PHP]a Cracker Barrel and on any given morning we go through about 50 flats of eggs.. twice as many on the weekends. We just throw these away, so once a month or so I save...

Don't forget about lighting placement :)

I am not sure that it is "clearing up" so much as it is poor calcification of the egg. Eggs that are well calcified are usually bright white pretty much up to hatching. I may be wrong though, and someone please correct me if I am, but that is what it looks like from the picture.

I think that saying that we provide a better gutloaded diet in captivity than what a cham gets in the wild is akin to saying that a baby fed formula is getting a better diet than a baby who is fed breast milk. We can try to similate it, and do so fairly well, but nothing is better than what...

I also have a pretty low cricket die off rate. Ventilation really is the key. I buy 1000 at a time and keep them in a 45 gallon sterilite container like this one. http://www.sterilite.com/ProductDetail.html?ProductId=401&Section=Storage I cut both sides out and hot glued alumminum screen...

Hibiscus are great for your chameleons. Veiled chameleons especially really shouldn't have any fake plants in their enclosures because (as your already has) they will try to eat them. Eating plastic can cause an impaction that will can your chameleon. You can try putting a hibiscus in your...

I agree with Hempa about the natural gutloading being far superior to our own attempts at it. A lot of the reason that we dust with calcium also has to do with calcium/phosphorus ratio. The ideal ratio is 2:1. The feeder insects that we most often feed are closer to 1:1. So, by dusting the...

This method is used quite a bit. The only thing i would recommend is using a solid colored cup. If your chameleon can see through the side of the cup he or she may try to shoot the insects through the side or bottom and cause a lot of frustration at best and injure the tongue at worst.

Yikes.. you sprayed pesticides in the cage?

Are you talking about for nighttime use? For nighttime use you don't need any bulb at all. Chameleons benefit from a nighttime temperature drop and by just turning all of the lights off at night this is easily achieved.
