Just did that. Removed all the ones I could find. Managed to squash a few by mistake. Didn't count but there seemed to be a lot of them. At least 20-30 I then noticed they exist at the bottom of my other hibiscus that's in the cage. I also have a 3rd hibiscus tree which isn't in the...

I don't believe this an ongoing health concern as it's gone away although I don't know anything about it so can't say that for sure. I should have posted this at the time but I've had a very busy few weeks and only just got round to it now. I can fill out all the husbandry info when I get the...

All those things are possible. I originally planned to post sooner and thought when I got an answer I could make a better informed choice but time got on and I never got round to it. I probably should just remove them incase they are a risk to the health of the chameleon. The plants been in the...

That's the first time I've heard this.... Have you measured the temperatures beside the UV? What temperature is dangerous exactly? I don't believe i'm the only one who keeps them on the inside. The UVb level is going to be greatly reduced by keeping it outside the cage also. When I created a...

I have made some improvements to this cage. Raised 2 of my hibiscus plants using some plant pots I found in my garden (my mum bought them and had no use for them). My camera can't handle the UV light. I also added another Jungle Vine and combined it with bamboo cane and plant sticks to...

Found this at the bottom of one of my hibiscus plants the other week. Only just got round to posting it on here. Anyone seen this before or have any idea what it is? I'm at a loss for an answer to it. I thought they could possibly be eggs laid by a feeder insect, such as a stick insect. Or...

Assuming that's what I see in the photos, yes. Come to think of it, I actually have some cabling I should really neaten up although it's mostly out of the way.

My guy has only ever once resisted one and I was surprised when he did. Maybe I'm a little bit OCD but you maybe should buy some cable ties and neaten up your cabling.

You probably shouldn't put the heater on all night unless your house is seriously cold. It gets fairly cold at night in the wild. It is also a waste of energy and money if it's not required. I do however think 1 heat bulb might not be sufficient for someone in a cold place during winter using a...

I've been to Switzerland twice and have relatives in Geneva and didn't see any bears. I did however go to a wildlife rescue centre place which was sort of open to the public. It will most likely be very cold in January and you could try Winter Sports (I've never tried that before but I believe...

You can sell live food for reptiles and fish on UK ebay. I don't know if that's possible where you are also. I believe in US there are laws concerning moving live creatures between different states.

There's snow out my window this morning and I think you probably get a lot more of it in Colorado. I would suggest 1 heat lamp might not cut it throughout all of winter, unless your house is a lot warmer than mine (which, sometimes wouldn't be too difficult). Before I went to sleep last night...

I'm led to believe the larvi are as high in fat as wax worms or possibly even greater and a lot larger. Every reptile would go for them but they're possibly not good for them.

The OP is from Colorado and I imagine it's quite cold there currently. I found one 60W bulb sufficient in a small mesh cage during summer but I've been using 3 bulbs on my adult cage (60 W directly over basking spot + 2 x 40W), until a clamp lamp de-combusted earlier this week and I don't...

I bought 2 thermometers on ebay for not much more than about £2.50 each. I also have an Exo Terra Digital Thermometer which was about £12 and I use them alongside a dimming thermostat. I recommend getting at least 1 fairly decent one (i.e Exo Terra digital) and place it under your basking spot...

I found putting a plastic cup with a hole in the bottom on top of the mesh cage and filling it with water to be quite successful. I tend to see him drink a couple of times a week. I got this idea from the book 'Essential Care of Chameleons' and there is also a picture of a chameleon drinking...

Nice solo. I couldn't have done that when I was 14. Infact, I only started playing the guitar when I was 14.

That's chameleons for you :D My guy has slept in some fairly ridiculous positions with legs in air and all sorts.

I am a guitar teacher. I went to college to do that and plan to become a student again next year studying music further. Plans to increase my chameleon population are on hold as a result.
