yes i made the wood cage and i use the same theory for the vines, i have a 1"x1" square on the 2 sides and rear to zip tie too. and no it is not a big deal,
1. predrill a hole in the top frame on al 3 sides, pre drill into the dowel, hold dowel and screw, then screw dowel at bottom with 1/2"...
here is an old picture of one of my enclosures, you should be able to see the dowels, i do not like to go thru the screen it tends to tear and get worse over time,
i also have attached a picture of my new 36" wide by 18" deep by 85" tall cabinets for my males, it has drainage at the...
can i give an easier idea for tying the vines, or at least i did it for all of my cages, i buy 3 5/8" dowels, (those round pieces of wood) screw them from the top frame and at the bottom thru the screen, one on the left, rear and right and there you have a piece of wood to wrap your zip ties...

was she rubbing her eye on branches? my female jacksonii just went thru the same thing, i got very upset but wated it out and it got better, i noticed her rubbing her eye alot on the vines, then she would have the eye closed alot of the day, then it would not open unless i picked...
all i can say is i wish i was that restrained, yes my first was an impulse buy, so was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. was always good wiith animals but really knew nothing of chameleons, looked on the internet and realized the can of monkeys i opened, now 3 years later and 19 chameleons and growing, i...
i had a batch of veileds hatch in august and the same thing, they all were the same size at hatching, then the others grew at an alarming rate, i could almost watch them grow but 2 stayed small, i watched them eat just like the big ones, it wasn't until the sizes made a ifference that i had to...
i have jacksonii, jacksonni, i have a pair i bought from Mike at FLCHAMS and 7 babies left from 13. the female came pregnant, she did not breed with the male i have and i was told they are 'farm raised'? from kenya.
my neonates are about 3 1/4 months old now (born late August) and seem to be...
constant food availability, frequent waterings (light spray) and watch the temp's they can overheat easily!! i have 2 different clutches of neonates, jacksonii, jacksonii and veiled. they seem to hate the water but after a minute or two they start to drink, it is a must. the food must be...
can anyone tell me if there are any symptoms for pin worms? i was told they aren't a killer but a drain on the system little by little. i was given panocur for the medicine does this sound right? i asked the vet if i should give all my chameleons a round of this due to there close proximity...
can anyone personally referr a veternarian in manhattan that works with chameleons well? i am really concerned with a female jackson i have and she has been to 2 different vets and i am not really happy with the results. i have been to the Westside clinic, the exotics clinic on columbus avenue...
it is not the actual age but the size of the chameleons as to the size of the crickets, nothing larger than the size between their eyes (their forehead) is the rule?

first i don't think you want to use a calcium with phosporous you want to use a repcal with d3 w/o phosporous for one treatment and then without D3 and phosporous for other treatments, actually you want to go to the vet and let them access the damage and will help you from there.

for the most part i think screen and mesh block about 50% of the UVB rays, so using a zoo med 10.0 which says it will reach 20" into the cage, i would expect it to reach 10"

can i just say please check again and if it is a zoomed flourescent coil 10.0 or 5.0 then it is good for uvb but not good as a basking bulb and only because i use them i don't think it would fit in that fixture, it also cannot be a mecury vapor because it would melt that screen they get so hot...
i use the cuttlebone for the feeders to eat, i keep a cuttlebone in the roach bin, cricket bin, sow bugs etc. i figure even if they eat alittle it cannot help with the calcium.

i like to keep hornworms on hand for a variety, i love the moisture content for the chameleons, on average i would say a few of my chameleons that like them get hornworms about 3-4 a week.
