They are so tiny (and there are so many that I don't want to open the cage to get a proper picture) but my praying mantises hatched!!! My veiled has been fascinated watching them, but I haven't caught him eating one yet. Getting the pod was merely an attempt at keeping up with the variation in...
I have an ExoTerra. (Not sure the difference between mine and that one which is offered) but I don't mind it at all. It was the best enclosure that I could find in my town without ordering it. That said, I have been dreaming of a DragonStrand as an upgrade, largely for the add ons. The deep...
By doing this on your own, you are imposing pain on the animal. If you cannot afford for a professional to do the procedure, you need to take the responsibility on yourself to make the right decision and limit the pain the animal is in. If that means you have to put him down, then that is what...
Similar idea to the last poster, but I made this for my baby, then when I changed him to his bigger enclosure, this became his outdoor one! (Without the lights obviously). I went a step further than the last poster, and got the largest drainage pots (is that what they are called? I'm not talking...
Update - doing better!
Hey guys, just wanted to update! Following the advice of another group which I also posted on, I've changed out my compact UVB for a UVB strip bulb. I now have a 26" Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 linear tube (with a reflector in the dome to maximize its output). We found that my...
He wont even notice the antler. lol (Or he shouldn't) But you have a lot of nice horizontal branches! Your plant will fill out the space by itself once it grows, but if you are concerned you can get some temporary fake vines and put them in there. Depending on the cham's age (especially if he is...
Some specs:
*Veiled cham ~9months old?

I know its an old thread, but I found it, and now Im interested!! Any chance those old photos in the first few posts can be put back up again? :) Thanks!
Lost or set "free"? :( I find it hard to believe that someone would "misplace" a chameleon, so I'm placing my bets on this beauty needing a proper home... Poor boy!
I found this on sale. No clue how old it is. No clue anything about humidifiers, or what to look for, or what I'd need in regards to chams. I do know I'd like to find one to help maintain humidity in my screen enclosure. I already have a drip system, however with the bad ratings, I don't want to...
Could be more of a heat regulation thing? Its a shot in the dark, but I know the temperatures have risen at least 5-10 degrees than he was used to in my room due to summer temps, so mine's sitting a few branches lower than he used to. That said, he's still in the UVB... so I'm not sure. Just a...
Impressive lay out! Im concerned, without the basking bulb, how the cham would be able to regulate his/her temperature. You wouldn't need a commercial "basking bulb" for herbs that pumps out so much heat. But a regular incandescent light bulb (from hardware stores or something) should probably...
Just posting a few guesses here because of the lack of info... but mine will have his mouth open for
A) defensive purposes (warning me that I'm getting too close and he doesn't want to deal with handling that day - this will precursor a hiss)
or B) I've been an idiot and forgot to fill the...
I found this guy a few weeks ago and have been keeping him in my bioactive frog setup. With this "isolation" would he be okay to be fed to a veiled? He would have only had access to the plants that are cham-safe (ex. ficus), and the dirt/coco husk mixture is all organic, no pesticides etc Is...
