all chameleons have different humidity requirements depending on where they are from... so you might want to research that for dilepsis... also you might want to ditch the night glo bulb, the chameleon will probably sleep better in pitch black darkness, I think those bulbs are designed for...

with all this uvb talk, I was wondering, does anyone here use any of the reptileuv.com lamps? or any europeans on here use the osram vitalux? it would be nice to get a review on some of those lamps to see if the keepers noticed much change from using regular fluo tubes

they say you still get uvb rays on a cloudy day, but under a roofed patio I doubt you're getting any at all

I had something like this in mind, all panels being angled inwards and downwards. (but I just saw treelions idea and that looks like it would be much simpler/effective if you can properly flex the board downwards toward the middle )

what is your floor made of? is that white sheet plastic? if so, I'm guessing it's flexible or else the heavy plant won't have any effect... I don't know if it will work perfect or last a long time, you'd probably have to see it in action, you might get lucky and it might end up directing all the...

well the eye thing could of just been when they clean their eyes out by bulging it out and it looks all weird and deformed, which is a normal thing they do from time to time. As for all the other problems... sounds like vet time, but judging by the email, he doesn't have much time to spare...

While it probably isn't harming him, I don't know if it's advised to put put a light on it's side like that. Mostly because in nature, the light comes from the sun which is up above, and ultimately what we're trying to do with our cages is mimic their natural habitat as best as we can, so a...

oh sorry i must of misread I thought his problem was a cricket who got out...

I remember reading some sort of technique where you wait until its dark out and then put a flashlight on the ground near the place you think the cricket is, and if you wait enough, it will come right up to the light because of the heat (or something along those lines).... if it works, you get...

Some place those flat smooth river rocks on top of the exposed soil to prevent this, you can also sift the soil real well to filter out any large pieces so that if anything ever did get ingested you'd be left with just plain black earth so it would just come out as poo instead of staying stuck...

how big are you buying your crickets? If you're buying them large than of course they're gonna die before you get to feed them all off.

A guy on the local classifieds site is selling some of their products for a bit cheaper than retail so I might try the 'insect diet cricket loading formula' to gutload my crickets with. Mostly was wondering if anyone here uses any of their products and if they are a good quality brand? The...

wow really cool looking, the male looks kinda rhino-ish ... except for the 'horn' being round instead of pointy

wow he does look really good, but whats Isairy-Mifidy ???

i had the same thing happen to me a week or so ago, it was pretty intensely hot and humid one day and since then alot of them are dying and the survivors are all a gross yellowish tint rather than the clean white color they should be. I had about 4 of them that were still nice and white so I...

this thing http://www.k9electronics.com/product/E12-20008D/Programmable8DayAutomaticPetFeeder.aspx (i'm guessing you already saw it)

if you search well enough there's a link in some post that shows somekind of circle shaped thing that you set on a timer and it spins so that a 'slot' opens everytime the timer goes off or something like that, hard to explain but I guess it could be used to release a couple of crickets every day.

cool little guy, looks good to me! he'd probably appreciate if you filled in his cage a bit more though, more bushiness and branches would giev him more space to wonder i think

I can't wait to see the end result. That thing is awesome, people would pay big bucks for setups like that. In a perfect world, all chameleons in captivity would have a home like this..! Good call on the halide lighting, those 2 spots + all that natural light coming from all those windows is...

I'm sure in nature they hear all sorts of sounds while sleeping, I wouldn't worry about it... it probably has more to do with the actual light around his cage, like if he's in a living room, there's tv/pc/lights etc that could easily keep him up
