I personally think 95 is WAY too hot for a baby panther, and shoot for mid 80's. Little guys can dehydrate so quickly, and they tend to be dumb. The concept behind a little cage is that its easier for the cham to find food, heat, and water. Obviously in nature its a much bigger area :D but...

Every animal is different. A misting system is very un-natural, as is a cage. I found that when I misted 3 times a day, my cham didn't drink enough, and his urates maintained a slight orange tinge. At 5 times a day, his urates are snow white. It works for my guy. Mine is a Panther, not a...

Pennsylvania has VERY conservative leaning laws. Have you ever tried to buy a beer there? Its easier to buy a Gun in NY. There is a strong residual quaker influence on the region and their laws. That said, the bit about the ground birds is a touch of misinformation that has spread on one...

My mister runs for something like: Lights on at 7AM: Mister from 7:55-8:00AM Mister from 10:30-10:32AM Mister from 12:55 - 1:00PM Mister from 3:30-3:32PM Mister from 5:55 -6:00PM Lights off at 7PM

Use a regular household bulb for heat, only 12 hours a day. Don't use any kind of lighting at night, chameleons need a drop in temperature at night. As long as your night time temps stay over 60 you're fine. I like Zoomed Reptivite as it has preformed Vitamin A vs. Beta Carotene in...

I know, but the angle you're seeing it from doesn't work in our current government. The government is going to ban things on a national level. End of story. Thats the point of the federal government. There can't be any concept of zones, etc. the zones are the states, and its either a state law...

I'm saying that under a federal law based on scientific data to prevent the invasion of non-native wildlife, chameleons get banned. Instantly. End of story. They are invasive in FL, HI, and its starting to show up in California. If you want to never own a chameleon again, keep pushing for...

Zones don't work as Federal laws. Its all or nothing. Nothing prevents the states from cooperating, but its not a federal issue. AND BELIEVE ME. This bill was aimed squarely at the pet industry, and well funded and campaigned for by PETA. PETAs agenda is "Total Animal Liberation". Their words...

For a baby, in a reptarium, I would leave the UVB fixture (Assuming it is a linear fluorescent bulb) against the mesh. I would be probably using nothing more than a 40 watt bulb for the basking, assuming a pretty normal 70's type room temp, and find a way to suspend it a way that you can vary...

1) he's freaked out.. He'll climb the walls less when he's more comfortable. 2) The better/more real plants in the cage, the less he'll climb the mesh. 3) Raise your light above the reptarium mesh to make sure he can't get too close.

My point is that laws that can be effectively enlisted at a state level don't need federal supervision. Thats the concept of the united STATES of america. If the local government decides that an animal is a problem in Florida and wants to ban it, it doesn't mean I agree with it, but it means I...

**MY PREDICTION BASED ON NOTHING BUT INTUITION AND INSIGHT GAINED BY WORKING WITH AND FOR LOBBYISTS AND POLITICIANS** They're re-drafting it to address the primary concerns that came up during the hearing, such as fish farms, etc. And they will make specific allowances for "Pets" such as...

I think in his situation, its not an issue. In your average caged setup, I'm still an advocate of bare bottomed enclosures.

Mineral-O is reptical without D3, for every day use.

Yeah, you live in canada. Not going to happen in America. The police don't have time to deal with things like this, they have traffic tickets to write, plus people smoking weed and prostitution to deal with. Crimes with victims don't get taken too seriously here.

WOAH back that train up. Soil?

He's shedding today, i'll try and get pics tomorrow.

Short version of the story.. Last month I acquired a new baby cham from a local pet store, I'm close with the owner, they're a good store, and I took it on trade for some services that I provided. That said, its not how I'd normally go about acquiring a chameleon. He ordered a sambava and...
