Take a fecal to your vet. That way you can know one way or the other about parasites. It's good to get fecals 3 or 4 times a year anyway. Whenever my guy gets a bit picky I try something that flys. Blue bottle flies, green banana roaches, dragonflies, moths or butterflies ( nothing to colorful...

You say you or your kids. How many kids and how old? I have a 6 year old. I had to work alone with my Cham for a few months before I could let him walk on my daughter. He is not particularly skiddish but if my husband, myself and my daughter all came up to his enclosure at once he would freeze...

I have a Dragon strand and a reptibreeze. They both work fine but the Dragonstrand is much sturdier. You also have the option of using the dragon ledges to hang planks and branches. I also have a drainage tray and the bottom of my enclosure has two bottoms. I can switch between a solid bottom or...

My guy gets dark when he's basking to absorb more heat. I just moved him into his large enclosure and it took a little more than a week to get back to normal. He was a bit more stand offish and didn't really want to come out. He goes out everyday for sunlight but I really couldn't get him out...

Lathis covered most of it but I did want to point out one thing. It looks like one of the branches goes to the top of the ceiling. If the heat light it right on top she could get burned. All the basking branches should have her back about 5 or 6 inches from the bulb. Enclosure looks good...

Crickets stink. Try blue bottle flies. They are cheap and you keep them in the fridge and just hatch out what you need. If you are going to keep something roaches are easier to care for and gut load. They don't smell. The die off rate is minimal and they reproduce easily. Roaches can be tough if...

I was going to recommend the same two.

Sorry, I don't know why the picture didn't attach.

My guy Elvis is from Bruce also. I've had him since early June and he's about 7 1/2 months. Sire is Candy Cane and dams sire is Primo.

Ok, I'm not going to worry about it if you guys don't. Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, Ive done the wild insects for awhile. I do get regular fecals. I just figured the lizards would be loaded.

The calcium plus would not work for a chameleon. It is calcium with multivitamin. That's to much multivitamin for a Cham. The most common supplement schedule would be Calcium no d3 at every feeding Calcium with d3 2x per month Multivitamin 2x per month To be given alone. Don't mix...

I'm looking into building a large outdoor enclosure. I'd like to do it with hardware cloth because it is going to be inside my pool cage (Florida people will understand) and I don't want to block out more UVB. What do all the Florida people do about the small wild lizards. My guy will stalk them...

My daughters elementary school had a corn snake in the science room. It's the best classroom pet. Very low maintenance. Don't have to worry about them on the weekend.

I've been looking also. I haven't heard of anyone finding it recently. I've been trying small local hardware store in hopes someone will order it. No much so far.

Also don't use the spray. Other people have come up with these same issues while using the spray. I don't think it's effective. You want a powder. I use Rep cal.

The most common supplement schedule Calcium with no d3 at every feeding Calcium with d3 2x per month Multivitamin 2x per month On the days that you give the multivitamin and calcium with d3 you can skip the plain calcium. All supplement should be given by themselves on any given day...

I agree with other posters about getting everything off the ground. I assume they are on the floor because you just moved but if not raise them up. I only have two other comments. I don't see a barrier and even a cross the room they still need one. I can't tell but maybe the plants block the...

I did the same thing with a dowel across the top. Instead of fishing line I used a zip tie.

I let my guy hunt as much as possible. Silk and hornworms I either hand feed or I place them in different spots around the screen. Roaches I feed with big tweezers. I tried to-release one at a time for him to hunt but he just stared at them or ran away. Green banana roaches I release a few at a...
