straight up godzilla style, love it!

Awesome thread I read through this http://www.reptileuvinfo.com/docs/artificial-ultraviolet-exposure-chameleon.pdf and Im a little confused; there's some conflicting info (strictly UVB based) that suggests levels as low as 7 µW/cm²over a 12hr photoperiod were "optimal." :confused: "Higher...

they look great, do you have any full shots of your vivarium?

Dont get discouraged, I think a move towards new husbandry techniques will do the hobby a lot of good. There tends to be a lot of parroting/regurgitation of info in niche hobbies, so Im always supportive of new approaches (assuming they're feasible). If youre a new hobbyist, its best to focus on...

yeah, the B&W maxi was definitely a prized addition. I used to manage the invertebrate husbandry dept for a major importer that had its base in los angeles, so I had access to some SERIOUSLY cherry pieces. The Australian fungia alone... God, I really didnt know how good I had it, but they paid...

simple answer, yes. Many people run 6500K t5s over their enclosures

looks awesome! What's your mist schedule, and hows the drainage/overflow solved? any problems with little feeders escaping between the hardware cloth and mesh?

just adds to the personality, wouldnt have it any other way! He has yet to poop on me, but he enjoys sitting on my head when Im taking him to and from the free range...gotta be only a matter of time...

those parsonii really DO look like dinosaurs, awesome!

locusts ARE grasshoppers, its just a term for when they go into a swarm phase :D you probably have two different species of hopper, they should be fine together. If you want to breed them, just follow the same steps you would for crickets. Just make sure they have enough space/food, or...

might be better suited for poison dart frogs or other similar herps; as appealing as it might seem a full substrate bottom offers a LOT of potential problems for chams. Dont know much about your experience, but going off your username Im guessing youre new to the chameleon/herp world? Jumping...

those orange acans you posted spurred me to make this thread! made me miss my tanks, hahaha

I'd avoid full plexi for the sides; you'll want some bottom-top airflow and the false bottom probably wont provide enough... maybe a plexi frame w/ the middle screened? As long as things dont get water logged and airflow is high enough then it wont be a huge issue... you'll have to figure out...

snapped this today when free ranging, little guy never even saw it coming

Im interested to see how this turns out, can you post up some more pics of what you have now? Are the sides also plexi, or is that mesh? how are you going to combat mold/bacteria w/ the added moisture and soil?

Thanks! Sire is Belak, from user Kerrek https://www.chameleonforums.com/ambilobe-sambavas-sale-111620/

both? Some days, time permitting, ill stick around and try hand feeding or take him out to free range and feed him there. Other days ill just cup feed, keep a mental note of how many feeders I threw in the cup, and check back after work if you dont want to cup feed, you can go by the "if...

haha, thanks, Ill try to grab a vid of it later here are some more pics and a shot of him noming a silkworm the derp is strong give him a minute and he's like "see you later, jerk!"
