    Am I overfeeding my cham?

    Alex, I've started my veiled on Phoenix worms, supplemented with dubias and crickets. The Phoenix worms are particularly nice because they're Ca balanced and don't need to be fed, bred or dusted. Sounds like a pretty good idea for a college dorm situation. I don't want my baby to grow too...

    Just got a baby veiled and her biting has become increasingly worse, what do I do?!

    I made an agreement with my veiled F that if she didn't grab herself (a neurological problem fro MBD that appears to have been solved with dietary mod) I wouldn't have to go in and grab her either. She would end up on the floor of the cage with both forelegs pinned down by both hind legs, all...

    few questions...

    I am currently using Ca with nothing as the standard daily supplement. Twice a month I use Ca with D Twice a month I use a multivitamin that has D. I think that is the standard supplementing, and that you change the routine as you learn more about your animal's particular needs...

    Good question!!

    Where do I start.... Watching them eat is a mind altering experience. I'll leave the topic for others to fill in. Submitted for your approval, Tyg

    Cleaning the cage?

    I have a fake tree for her when I have to take her out. I'm hoping to get a full sized ficus someday. But my juvenile F veiled doesn't freak at much. Twice when I've had to reach in near her and she hissed and puffed and gaped, I just pulled back a little and left the hand in there for her to...

    Safe Plant list and allergies?

    The regular stuff like ficus and such don't shed any allergens usually. If you're allergic to things, send your doctor your list of safe plants and ask if they're okay for you. Submitted for your approval, Tyg

    anyone have the monsoon?

    My LRS sells them both, but he knows me well, and recommends the Monsoon for me. I'm not likely to want to add cages (maybe just maybe a free range playground with its own nozzles though) and the Mist King is overkill for what I need. His store front vivarium display is Monsoon, and his...

    Starting the day off badly

    Today I supplemented her crickets with Repashy Ca+. She was 'tangled' twice this morning, and cranky about getting untangled. This is a little depressing as she had been really well for a few days. We'll see how the day progresses.

    Hand Feeding -- I'm smitten!

    I just had SUCH an oxytocin surge its scary. Shayna took a Phoenix worm out of my hand...then another and another...I held a cup for her and she ate a Dubia. Having her little tongue just reach out and whack that worm in my hand was sooo sweet! This chameleon has gotten me seriously...

    First Entry

    Shayna is my first reptile. She is a veiled chameleon, hatched around March 2011, and acquired in August. For a month or so she was housed in an 18x18x30 mesh cage with 5 different live plants. Soon she was eating too much philodendron for my taste, and all live plants except her mini...

    How to set up a cham cam?

    I'm battling the worst lighting....how do I set up a cam so that the light isn't glaring? I really want to watch my Shayna, but get other things in my life done, so I want to see her on the intranet. Any suggestions? Tyg

    my new friend/ repashy

    I'm hesitant on using just the one. I started with that, and have been evolving over the past 3 months to using NO D, pure calcium most of the time, and twice a month using with D, and twice a month the 'all in one' multivitamin. I have a 10.0 UVB bulb, and there is a chance she was/is...

    NY Reptile Expo

    I scored four books, and I'm so psyched! Masters of Disguise; a natural history by Martin and Chameleons; Davison, plus two from the Herpetoculture Library. The panthers were simply awesome! I can't judge a vendor on the conditions at an expo like that because they're very limited in the table...

    Why A Panther Chameleon Is Called A Panther Chameleon

    "Cattish" descriptors vary wildly. So 'tigre' doesn't always mean 'tiger', 'leopard' can mean 'jaguar', and 'panther' can mean 'cougar' and so on. After all...the 'leo' in leopard means 'lion' and 'pard' was a spotted cat. The latin name could well be from hunting style to the flashy spots...
