Are these yours, or is it someone else's listing?

The vast majority of those critters are beneficial the plant, and will not harm anything at all. They were put there for a reason! A lot of growers actually add bacteria to their dirt, usually in the form of "compost tea" or something similar. The plants need them, and your cham will be no worse...

I think it's better to ask here and get input and ideas from a lot of people with experience rather than leaving it all up to what one guy says - even if the breeder is knowledgable. And it's probably not that the breeder won't tell him, it's just that he's smart enough to look at different...

I ordered them from Underground Reptiles. They came in pretty nice, even though they were wild caught. All are doing well and eating like crazy. They were only $12.50 each, plus $43 to ship.

Alright... I set up a temporary cage for him that will work until the weekend. I used a rat cage, covered a couple sides with tarp, and threw some plants and sticks in there. Just until the weekend. Plus I found an extra UVB bulb for him so I don't have to worry about borrowing from my panther...

How long can chams go without UVB before it affects them? Days, a week? Since I don't have an extra UVB light around, and the Jackson hasn't been receiving UVB, could I give him my panther's light for a couple days in a temporary enclosure? Will it harm my panther to not have his UVB until...

Alright. I'll order a new cage tomorrow and try to find something temporary to put him in until then. What's the recommended cage size for Jackson's? They're all asleep and I don't turn the lights on after their "bedtime", but I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. No, I had them shipped from a...

Right now they're on the same free range. They were caged together for several months before I bought them, supposedly without any problems.

Any advice? Anything?

I just got a pair of Jackson's on Friday, who now go by Max and Margaret (I've never been one for "pet" names). According to the previous owner, they are an unrelated CB pair, just over a year old. They both looked great when they arrived, aside from a little stress due to shipping. The female...

I've never heard that before... but I have heard of many healthy females who became egg bound due to excessive stress. I'm not criticizing, just wondering. Anyone else agree with that? I've never bred chameleons (I do currently have a gravid Jackson's though), so I wouldn't know.

Check out Mulberry Farms or Great Lakes Hornworms. They're both sponsors of this site, so you can find a link to them in the upper right hand corner where it says 'view our sponsors'. They're prices are the best I've been able to find and they have pretty good variety.

You still need good ventilation, so would only cover 3 sides. I don't know if I made that very clear - without proper humidity, you obviously have problems, but without proper ventilation, you'll have more problems. Try covering just 3 sides, if that's not what you're already planning on doing...

Paint tarp, it'll take you hours to cover the cage in painter's tape :p You don't want to shower her too often, as handling her too much can cause more stress than it's worth. It depends on how she reacts to it, but if she seems to enjoy it then I would shower her maybe twice a week or so...

She looks better, but you'll have to keep up with it or she'll go downhill as fast as before. It look like you have a screen cage, which makes it hard to hold in humidity. I cover 3 sides of my screen cages with clear plastic painter's tarp. It's extremely cheap and it helps hold that moisture...

Have you even tried to provide her with a laying bin and some extra privacy? Perhaps that's all she needs. I understand that sometimes it does come down to having them euthanized, but you should at least give her a fighting chance before giving up on her. Can she still she the male? If she...

Bimac gave you good advice, and I agree that she looks extremely dehydrated. I would shower her, so she can have a good opportunity to drink as much as she wants and to help clear up/open up her eyes. When my guys are having eye issues, the showers and higher humidity in their cages have cleared...

You might want to go with a misting system for mellers - they drink like no other. Those are big chams that need a lot of water, and it would be much easier on you to spend the $180 and get a good misting system. That's the only reason I don't have a mellers. I'd love one, but I can't use a...

These are what I use for my guys. They're excellent. The bottom is a piece of 1/4" styrene (I think) which is basically like thick plastic, although a little sturdier (won't crack). It's easy to drill and the whole piece is easily removed and replaced. Vines and branches are easy. For branches...

They clay balls are hydroton. They're excellent drainage for terrarium or vivs for pygmies (I use them in my pygmy viv), but most of us try to use bare bottoms for our bigger chams. The clean-up is easier, and there's nothing that the chams could ingest. Excellent choice for pygmy enclosures though.
