Thanks Marty I love your system it is great! My Cham had to be put to sleep last week & I won't be getting another one until April or May wanted to make sure nothing had to be done to system.

I will not be using my mistkint for about 4-5months & do not want any bacteria to grow in the lines. Is this a problem I need to worry about, have always used distilled water in mistking. Is there a cleaning process I should follow?? Has anyone else been in this situation? any coments welcome

I just had to put my veiled chameleon to sleep a few days ago & I will be getting a new cham in the spring. I have heard that it is OK for young chams to be housed in a glass aquarium for a short period of time until large enough for their large screen cage. I know they have small screen cages...

Trama from being accidently thrown to the floor upon exam by vet. My sweet little guy took a great big bite out of vet's thumb & her instinct was to jerk away and when she did he was pulled from the nurses hands and fell to the floor.

Yes I talked to the vet briefly today. I was kinda thinking that would happen to my little guy also. So far tail does not look discolored or anything but I think he keeps falling because he keeps getting it caught on branches & stuff. I never thought of splinting tail. I know my vet has done...

I have a male veiled cham that is about 1 1/2 years old. I took him to vet a few weeks ago for a check up and he bite the vet!!! The doctor's natural instinct was to pull away and when she did he was accidently flung to floor. He seemed fine that day took him home & did not notice any...

I was just wondering if grubs & phoenix worms are the same thing. :confused: I saw a web site that sold Soldier grubs which are black soldier fly larve also under the name Calci worm & phoenix. Was thinking of adding to my chams diet for variety.

Just ordered my first shipment of silkworms. I am not ready for raising my own eggs yet. Just wanted to hear suggestions from everyone on how you store them. I have a plastic tub about the size of a shoebox (only ordered 25 worms) I read on Mulberry farm web site that you should only leave...

Ceramic heater vs. heat bulbs for chameleons?? Just wanted everyone's opinion. I have heard that chams need to see light to be drawn to basking area & I know that they have sensitive eyes so I can see where ceramic heater is good option. :confused:

Normally do not leave crickets in my chams cage long enough for them to cause problem. He normaly eats all (5-7 large) with in 15-30 minutes but my husband gave him 15 large crickets every day for 4 days ad he could not eat them quickly enough and my husband was either scared to touch crickets...

Yes crickets biting him I was feeding large crickets 6-7 a day and my husband put 15 or more a day in cage & when I got home about 30 large crickets loose in cage he had obvious marks on his leg.

My Doctor is a great herp vet & a great exotic vet. I only plan to feed worms every other day & crickets on opposite days.

I have a 1yr old veiled cham he recently started having a problem with one foot swelling. We suspected it was cellulitis because my dear husband over fed him crickets while I was out of town. Now his other foot is starting to swell & he has a swelling on the side of his chest near front leg...

I don't have any photos of before but do have photos of skin actually lifting off his backand now have after photos. I will post them but don't think they are of much use.

Looks like a fungus to me. My veiled got fungal infection along his back about 4 months ago and he lost some of his spikes along his back. Be careful it can spread. My vet prescribed antibacterial/antifungal shampoo to wash him in and topical miconazole lotion to put on lesion. I watch my...
