Good aquarium filters rely on extensive bacteria production. They are designed to filter large particulates, and to facilitate the nitrogen cycle, but do nothing to purify the water apart from some iffy carbon filtration. Thats why you have to do such extensive water changes on reef tanks...

Because they're cheaper. :rolleyes:

There seems to be a general misconception about what the natural habitat of these creatures is, so I helped point you in the right direction. They live in the tree tops. Far from the ground. Once you come to grips with that you realize how silly backgrounds, waterfalls, and substrate really are...

The waterfall does not mimic her natural habitat. There are very few recirculating waterfalls on the tops of trees.

I use a different size one of those on my 18X18 cage.. Works very nicely. I don't know how it would work on a flexarium. I hate flexariums :) That said, the only issue is that water is heavy. 7lbs a gallon give or take. That plastic is flexible.. If you let 6 inches of water build up in the...

I always go right to sleep afterwards..

Ha ha no blackbetty I have crested geckos.

I think if you put a chameleon in a cage outside, and leave the door open.. its going out of the cage and up the nearest tree it can find.. Also know that if I put crickets in a cup.. and one super worm.. my guy will go right for the superworm, and my girl will go right for the crickets.. so...

If it didn't, you wouldn't do it. I'm not judging, I'm just being honest with myself and the world. We keep animals for selfish reasons, and thats fine. I do it, I love it. But you can't provide a higher quality of life for an animal in captivity than they would achieve in the wild. They may...

Its all good if you're motivated by ego, I was just curious. This is by nature an extremely selfish hobby, so I get that. I just like to see people admit it. I keep chameleons as pets because it makes me happy, even though I know they clearly aren't their happiest living in a 16 square foot...

I think you misunderstood me. If you're honestly not breeding these animals for money, which I'll believe you on, I'm personally curious as to what your motivations are. Obviously you're taking a calculated gamble with the life of your female, what is the payoff for you if its not money?

Lets be honest for a minute, its a business. No matter what, you're doing this to try to make money, if you weren't.. then you wouldn't risk your females health and take years off of her life.

When I said that number, it was pretty ballpark. If you factor in time at all, then its well over that figure even at minimum wage. Ideally your babies should be getting crickets, fruit flies, and as they get bigger small silkies, roach nymphs, etc. You should also raise them up to at least...

Why do you want to breed them so badly? to have maybe 60 chameleons worth $35 a piece that will consume $50 worth of food, electricity, and equipment costs each before you can sell them? Something to think about..

It doesn't vibrate for the record, all ultrasonic humidifiers create fog through ultrasonic vibrations. Its tacky and horrible. Zoomed likes to slap chameleons on everything. All that said, I still respect zoomed as the first company to bring an acceptable chameleon cage to market in the...

I can't imagine that the texture feels right to them at all.. i always recalled pipe cleaners feeling kind of sharp where you could feel the wire bits through the fuzzies etc.

I don't pretend to be an expert in UVB lighting and Reptiles, but my basic understanding of it is this. The danger in the compact lights lies not only in the intensity, but more importantly the balance of the spectrum. Obviously natural sunlight is probably more intense overall, but its in...

I actually think people who haven't owned any reptiles before are good candidates for chameleons. They have less bad habits to break. Find someone who is successful in keeping carpets, particularly like mike at FL chams or Jim at the chameleon company who both have had successful breeding...

I"m assuming you have a shop vac to get the water out of the tray?
