Boss is never here and as a matter of fact.....I'm not quite sure who my boss is. :p The 2 main people who are in charge of my department send me to the other and vice versa lol!
Chameleons don't like to be held but some will tolerate it. Is it in an proper enclosure recommened by petsmart or by online research? IMO just sounds like she is stressed from being held and only tolerates it. What kind of chameleon?
Please fill out the how to ask for help info
Cage...
looks like a compact to me.....did you leave the light on for a few days before applying to the cage? and how much distance is the light from the basking areas? from what I have read on here, it seems you might be able to get away with the compacts if you allow the lights to run for the first...
OMG that cage is an eye sore from the outside lol. (not very handy) :p But there is no way for escape. Its actually 1 big cage 48x24x48 with a divider in the middle for now making it 24x24x48. When the cages I ordered come in he will have that whole cage to himself. I just got off work and...
SOMEONE PLEASE BUY THAT LAST ONE IF IT ISN'T SOLD ALREADY! Sorry I had to yell...lol....mine just arrived and is in good health. NOW I'M TEMPTED TO BUY THE OTHER ONE, SO PLEASE HURRY BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND KILLS ME FOR BUYING ANOTHER!!!!!
lol right now i'm on a leave of absence because my father passed away 2 weeks ago but I go back to work tonight. I'm a detetion officer for my local police department. I guess I'll get to bed since I have 3 hours to sleep till I have to bring my son to school. Anyways back to the subject...
I personally would go for the fake vines. As of right now I use a hand pump mister from home depot 3 bux cheaper than petsmart and better quality and seems to hold more water if i'm not mistaken. I will definately need to upgrade to an auto mister when the next 2 chams arrive TODAY lol. I...
I would go with the 24" so you won't have to upgrade the fixture later when you get the larger enclosure. the 65 is good for a juvenile, maybe to big for a baby but not for a juvenile. couldn't remember, what are you doing as far as water/misting?
panthers and veileds
24" reptisun 5.0 and 48" 10.0
48" plant light for enclosures with live plants
basking 65-75 watts with plenty of room in between light and cham to prevent burns
IMO that transition size will be ok depending on the chams hunting ability if you plan on feeding free roaming crickets or if the cham is cup fed it will be no problem at all. I read the thread about your babysitting experience and it was a wonderful thing you have done and you should be proud...
Sorry for no pics at the moment her eyes are normal right now even after misting but when/if it happens again I'll definately post some pics. Hopefully its just cleaning rather than major problems.
