I was thinking about going that route because it looks rock-like, but it also looks hard to manipulate, and also looks like it would take a long time (and a lot of cans) to fill a large surface. I'd rather carve it out of a block of foam so that there are no spots where water could seep through...

Has anyone here made one of these? I've seen various tutorials on youtube for aquarium backgrounds, and would like to make one for the new cage I'm working on. I tried looking for ready made rockwalls online, but none of them even come close to the size I need (42" X 48"). The plan...

I found some outdoor lacquer that comes in aerosol application. On the can it says "non-toxic and hypoallergenic when dry". I'm also going to use aquarium silicone to water proof all the seams.

Some people successfully keep fountains and waterfalls in their enclosures, but they require vigorous daily cleaning so the water doesn't get scuzzy.

Janet Craig Compacta's are not on the safe list, so to be safe, I wouldn't use it.

Very cute. I'm not sure exactly how old he is, but my guess would be less than 2 months old. I can tell you that those black spots and stripes are stress/fear colours. Baby veileds, even the males, are usually a bright solid green colour. Does he always look like that?

I think this website should start an online petition asking Petsmart & Petco to stop carrying chameleons. I think everyone who's had a bad cham experience there should share their story and any pictures they have. I highly doubt petsmart would go under if they stopped selling these animals and...

My husband and I saw baby veileds in a similar situation at a Petsmart. What we did was grab one of the care sheets that Petsmart issues to customers and went through it with the store manager, checking off all of the things they are doing wrong - even by their own standards. They got...

There's a live plant database here https://www.chameleonforums.com/plants/, There's also a pretty extensive safe plant lists on FL Chams website: http://flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp A quick google search will help you learn more about the indoor care requirements, so you can make sure it...

Wow that rat sure did a number on her :( Glad she's recovering! Thanks for being an awesome cham owner!

Cute little cham you have there. Chameleons are awesome pets, but they're very different from other pets, and even other reptiles. You came to the right place though - this site is filled with many friendly and helpful people. I would very strongly suggest a few things. Your cham...

My power went out for 16 hours the other day..... wasn't good. Mr.Pink is fine now, but the husband and I were really worried. How long do those last on a charge? I was looking at gas generators for around $200, and they have about 12 - 15 hours of power, per tank.

Building a new cage out of wood and want it to look like a nice piece of furniture when I'm done with it. I'm also going to make a fake rockwall out of foam insulation, but don't know what to, or not to use. I was looking at some tutorials for DIY aquarium furniture, can I assume that if it's...

The smell of making gutload cubes resonates in my house for a couple days afterwards. It's so gross. Squash, dandelion, and orange.... not the best combo.

Awesome info! Thanks so much!

We suck lol. Hornworms at our house do not last very long at all. It's hardly worth buying the things because if we buy more than 2-3 the rest die before we have a chance to feed them off. I've looked up different ways of keeping them, but nothing seems to work. Right now we're feeding...

Yep the table will be the base, and we'll be building up off that. We want to make it sturdy and make it so you can't see the mister, and all the wires and tubing. We contemplated a metal frame, but we like the possibilities that wood has to offer - plus it looks more natural.

My husband and I just recently inherited a solid wood dining table, with a few dings. Nothing special - yet. We have big plans to build a new cage for Mr.Pink out of it. The dimensions will be 24" X 40" X 50". The cage we have now is 2'X2'X4', and was the first cage we constructed. It...

As far as exotics go, I only have a chameleon, so I can't really compare it to any other reptile, or an aquarium. However I can say that they are awesome pets, and keeping them is a great project for hobbyists. Usually, the more colourful the chameleon, the more popular. Typically, males...

In the summer when I got my first chameleon, every piece of good information I received was from this forum. This website and the amazing kind-hearted people who make it possible actually saved my chameleon's life - when 2 vets couldn't. In saying that, I know personally that newbies rely...
