When I am making the eco-earth playsand mix should I wash the sand threw with water? should I was the eco-earth off with water? When I add it together in the bucket how do I know if it is 50/50 becuase the eco-earth expands? Should I have a stick leading down to the bucket? If I have a livee...
I have a 5.0 uvb bulb on her in an 18inch fixture. I am only giving here 2-4 hours of sun because I live in Gainesville, FL and the temperature has not been higher than 50 degrees in the day. Do you think I should leavee them out there even though it is kinda cold?
I bought a 5 gallon bucket from walmart and am going to use a 50/50 eco-earth/play sand mix. I wanted to know if you can leave the bucket in your cage damp will it create bacteria? Also my female is around a week and half pregnant should I put the bucket in there now or wait? I have increased...
I am looking for a parsons chameleon or a pm of a date in which some would be available with a price range. I am also looking for another nosy be pure blue female to add to my colony. :)
Hello everyone, the picture attached is my female pure bred blue nosy be. In the picture she is about 6 months old. When I received her from amazing blue reptiles I noticed that she had a kink/ bend in her back. I have done a little research and have decided that this is a birth defect. She is...
Happens all the time to me. Do not worry about it. A good shower will do the trick. You can also use a damp q-tip and lighty try to get it out(very gently).
I currently own a nosy be female that is around 7 or 8 months old. She weighs 35.6 grams and showing receptive colors. Does anyone have any opinions on how many grams a female nosy be should weigh? Also does anyone think I should wait a little longer?
In the females case, I know that breeding reduces her life emensly due to excess stress.Also, when chameleons get older they do not need to consume as much food or vitamins. I also was also reading in one of my cham books that the improper enclosure and enviroment can reduce that chameleons life.
I use reptisun 5.0, gutload with with Fluker's cricket feed. I take him outside around 7 hours a week. I do not think he has always been like this, but I have been hand feeding him for atleast 8 months. Does anyone have any ideas about how to have him hunt again or is all hope lost?
I have a year and a half old nosy be male. Very active and strong. I feed him out of my hand and I have noticed that he does not shoot his tongue as far. Should I dust with more calcium or not worry?
Currently I am dusting 4 times a week with rep-cal no d3, 2 days no dust, and 1 day multi
Best way in my opinion to not stress your cham is to take a shoe box and put one of their vines in it with a rag/towel on the bottom with some strips of newspaper and 10 small holes. If you do not keep them in a dark place while traveling they will be stressed out. I travel 4 hours down and 4...
WOW! That is an awesome misting system. Good job! hopefully when I am done mine will be somewhere along those lines. Thank you for the indepth pictures.
In the end I decided to go with MistKing. Skittles and Pinky will now be the happiest chameleons around. Thank you Marty for the great deal and fast responses to my e-mails! I can’t wait to get my MistKing! :D Check back in 2weeks I will have pictures of my setups with misting system.
The only difference I found between the two is what extras they came with and that the herpmist pump has a 110psi output while mistking has 130psi output. The difference between the mistking and herpmist is that the mistking contains extras such as, 1/4" Manual Ball Valve, 10 tubing clips,"L"...
I was thinking about getting a mistking or herpmist, but was not sure if I would be better of making my own to save a little money. I wanted to know if anyone has made their own misting system and would like to share their ideas or pictures. Also, I would appreciate others opinions on if making...
Currently I am dusting with only Rep-cal brand. 4 days a week with Rep-cal calcium, once every 2 weeks with rep-cal multivitamins, and 3 days a week with no dusting. I currently am gutloading with Fluker's cricket quencher and feed.Any suggestions?
I have a 6 month and a year and a half old nosy be. I stopped dusting with calcium d3 and started to take them outside as often as possible. I just wanted to get some opinions on exposing your chameleon to pure sunlight in comparison to dusting with D3. I usually take my chameleon outside as...
I just got a female nosy be blue from amazing blue reptiles. She is 6 months old and eating/drinking all day long. My question is how old do females have to be to lay unfertilized eggs? What kind of bucket/sand should I use? Lastly, does anyone have a picture of their cage with an egg laying bucket?
