I agree, at the petsmart near me there are two chameleons that are about 6 months old in 2.5 gallon enclosures and I am surprised that I chose to buy my cham there but I guess I did a good thing because with those conditions my Cham would be dead had I not bought it. But it is really depressing...
Does anybody know some good places to order feeder insects for my cham online?
Also, I'm not looking to buy roaches or crickets so a place that has other feeder insects
Thanks in advance for any responses
Ok, thanks for the suggestions and I need to find a cage quickly, 2 days :eek:
Oh yeah and I'm not to worried because my friend is very experienced with reptiles so I know my cham will be ok
Sorry I haven't been on the forums recently, all caught up with planning a reef aquarium, anyway I'm going away for the summer and having a friend take care of my chameleon and I'm wondering what the most portable cage is, so I can drop my chameleon off at his house.
Oh yeah and I don't want...
Java moss is a type of moss used mainly in aquariums but also can be used on land, and it is only stringy if no animal is keeping it matted down by walking on it, I'm more worried that it may be potentially dangerous because it is never listed as a chameleon safe plant. Has anybody else tried...
I was wondering if I could use java moss with my chameleon because I have loads extra from my aquariums, and if it is used with fish, frogs, anoles, salamanders....why not use it with a chameleon
:confused:
Great post
About cats being efficient killers that is true but not in my case, because my cat is 16 years old and weighs 30 lbs, lol
But I'm sure it is true with other cats
Hi
Thanks for the response, it is a male veiled chameleon, and the moss was more for looks. I figure it would just be more sanitary, and easier to make the cage look really nice with plants and decorations.
I am well aware of the huge impaction risk, but I was wondering if I could use live moss as a substrate. I cup feed my cham, and I do have a bottle of mineral oil for any time my cham could get impaction. Also the moss type I'm thinking about is not the loose moss (sphagnum moss.)
I would...
I would definitely recommend Hibiscus trees. They are pretty, and your cham will love eating the flowers or leaves. Here is a link as to where you can get them

Hello
I have Exo Terra tree fern panels and they work great, better yet they grow ferns and mosses on them after a few days with a mister that mists them at least twice a day or you manually misting them at least 3 times a day. But the one problem is that they are sort of small.
Hello I had a fogger but it lasted a month, and it builds up so much water that it will stop running completely don't get it it is just a waste of money
Hello so I am planning on getting 5 live plants to add on to the one I already have the cage is 2'x2'x4' would the plants fit in the cage (one ficus, one hibiscus, one bromeliad, one birds nest fern, and two tilandsias) PS. its a veiled chameleon if it makes a difference :confused:
