Lighting, you'll want to go with ZooMed instead of Exo-terra, Reptisun 5.0 linears for UV. I don't think Exo-terra makes a large enough enclosure appropriate for chameleons though, unless you're keeping pygmies or a smaller species. From what I've seen from Exo-terra, they don't seem to have...

Might be an injury. My cham developes black markings when ever she falls or overexerts while reaching for a branch or twisting her arm. The markings always occur in the spot and shape where the injury occured. My local exotics shop also has a panther with a malformed back due to something that...

Completely agree with you there. But note the "-" sign

No knowledge about selling chameleons specifically, but I made a profit of about -$900 breeding and selling leopard geckos this year:D

Most reptiles have them. They're much easier to see on smaller species such as anoles though.

And 0.0.1 means unsexed or baby

I use a Kricket Keeper, but I only go through about 200 a week. At least I dont have to touch them.

Very nicely done cage. Now I know what to use for the top of the enclosure I'm building this weekend. Thanks for the ideas.

Ditto on the fixture itself being good, but ditch the bulb and the plastic covering over the bulb. I learned long ago no to use products labelled "Super". You would still be better off going to a home improvement store though, since for $40 you could get 2 or three fixtures.

Still, be sure to take JoshCrane1's advice. They are better off in another room until the paint is completely dry and there is no hint of odour. My other hobbies involve the use of solvents and paints and unfortunately my chameleon's enclosure is in the room next to it. As a general rule, I...

Horns won't shed, they are made out of keritin (think I spelt it right), same stuff as you're fingernails. Your fingernails don't shed. (At least I hope yours don't)

Nice looking girls. I've got a pic almost identical to the first one. Took forever to get her out of the tree though.

sounds good. Any idea what wattage to get? Enclosure will be screen on one side and the door, sealed off on the other 2 sides. Dimensions will be 2 x 2 x 4. Ambient room temp will be 65 Thanks in advance

I'm looking for opinions about mercury vapour bulbs. I'm picking up supplies for my new enclosure today and will need lights in about a week. My biggest problem is that my local exotics shop has stopped carrying UVB tube lights, (except some cheap chinese knockoff brand for fish) and is...

To start, it looks like you have a female. As for getting it to drink standing water, there is little chance of that, they only seem to recognize droplets and moving water. You can try putting a small hole in the bottom of a container (plastic deli cups work great) and filling that with...

Vet ASAP Sounds like a prolapse

You may be lucky enough to have landed youself with a brown veiled. There are a few threads on this forum about veileds that never turn green, just stay brown all the time. They still go through the range of changing colour intensity, from dark brown to an almost graylike colour. You've never...

Well, seeing as you have no problem travelling, there's a decent exotics shop in downtown Oshawa that should have everything you're looking for. They're called D & D Exotics and are located just south of the intersection of Simcoe & Ritson. Should take you about 45-60 minutes from Toronto, but...

The casque on my female started to become noticable at about 2 months, until then it just appeared as a ridge on her head. It seems they don't reach an appreciable size until about 3 months, but it could be different for males.
