Holy Crap! Didn't realize this tread is almost 2 years old! MY BAD LOL!:eek:

Powersun 100w! I think your making the right move here, but I have a quick question. When you filled out the help form you said you were using a powersun 100w as a basking bulb. Is is a mercury vapor bulb? If it is then it also emits a UVB spectrum. A mercury vapor bulb is really only intended...

ooohhh lol. from what i've heard it's best to gutload a few hours before they're feed off. the less time the gutload spends inside the feeder the better since the feeder will digest and pass it off as waste before your chameleon can.

ideally you should feed in the mornings and remove whatever wasn't eaten at night. some feeders (especially crickets) have been known to chew on chams while their sleeping :eek:

should be ok. when it comes down to it the chameleons personality will have the biggest impact on how aggressive it is. her aggressiveness towards handling may be a result of poor handling done by the pet store you got her from. you can somewhat shape her personality by hand feeding treats like...

They have been know to cause eye problems in various reptiles. some people haven't had any problems with them, but some have had serious issues. The ideal uvb bulb is a linear (tube) reptisun 5.0

sub straights should be avoided all together. paper towels or newspaper makes cleaning easier.

from the first pic of the enclosure, it looks like the uvb bulbs are compact fluorescents which really should be avoided.

He's probably fine, I had the same experience when I first got my panther. I had the timer set to turn off very late, and I would sometimes catch him dosing off an hour or two before his lights turn off. If your located in CA the sun probably sets around 6:30 this time of year, right? As long as...

Thanks everybody. I'm new to chameleon husbandry so I just wanted to make sure. He's my little buddy:)

I gutload with dry mix of brewers yeast, dried kelp and bee pollen along with fresh carrots and sweet potatoes. I also dust with calcium w/d3 and herptivite once a week and calcium without D3 every other feeding or so. Carlton, Ive attached some picks of his head and tail. I know you've...

Recently I've noticed Yoshi's ribs sticking out the sides of his body more and more, and I'm worried he's getting too thin. He's coming up on 11 months old, and I'm aware chameleons usually look a little thin and lanky before they fill out as adults, but he seems still seems too thin to me. He...

Screameleons is the way to go. I recently purchased an ambanja male from them, and I couldn't be happier. Great customer care too :D

Probably just another 18", I just don't want something that's going to hang over the edges of his cage.

He looks GORGEOUS:D Your very lucky to have such a colorful cham at such a young age. He's going to be a stunner when he's fully grown.

Thanks for the tips everybody:D The only real reason I'm currently using such cheap fixtures is because I had them lying around the house. Does anyone know of a good dual fixture with an electronic ballast and a nice reflector?
