Repot your new plants with organic dirt or that coco fiber stuff you can get at the pet store. Wash all the leafs with mild dish soap. I use dawn. I hqve never had flies in my enclosures and am pretty sure this is why.

Too much d3, should only be given 2 times a month. You need to get calcium without d3 to dust with at every feeding. Also use a multivitamin 2 times a month. Almost looks as though/ sounds he is overdosed on d3.thats where I would start. Also looks like an infection in his eye, might try to give...

Just watched my 2 moths eat out of the feeders. It's really neat to watch them. No eggs yet but hopefully some more will hatch out and start breeding soon.

looks to be a hawk moth. from a hornworm.

So I got up this morning and fed both chams some crickets like I do every morning, checked on the hornworm cage and still no moths. Go check my calendar and tomorrow will be 4 weeks since the first 2 pupated. I get ready and head down to the reptile expo I go to every month to get feeders. My...

It's not if you have problems it's when you have problems. Had a monsoon for 3 weeks before it filled the electronics with water, and the replacment lasted 2 months before it did the same thing. Have been running a mistking for about 5 years without a single problem. Monsoons are junk and for a...

Monsoon=junk Mistking= awesome

What species? Veild, panther, jacksons? Uvb and heat lamp are both needed Drippers are ok but misters are better and more $, some use both together with success Fogger would be helpful depending on species Temps and humidity differ from species to species I feed mine crickets, superworms...

Yes Todd is great, he just told me through email this morning I was planning on too much light. 8 4ft T5's was a bit overkill :D right now I have a 2x2x4 and run 6 t5 on it 1 12% uvb and the rest 6500k plants and cham are doing great.

Yep, none, more mistings

I dont give mine a choice, my uvb runs the length of the cage. Only way he can get out of it is to get under the leaves of his tree or pothos.

Reptile carpet can harbor bacteria espically if it sits flat on the ground with no air space on the bottom. I use built in drain trays in my custom cages and on top of the drain pan is a plastic grid and on top of the plastic grid is filter fabric. The filter fabric is that black fabric you use...

Yeah, she does look small to be breeding. I know the general rule is 1 year but if a 1 year old is a small 1 year old I'd probably wait another 6 months to let her gain some weight.

i bought my last hornworm chow off amazon for 5 bucks a bag. it dosen't make much. but the worms seem to like it. i'm going to order a couple pounds of chow as soon as i get eggs to hatch/if i ever get eggs to hatch.

I feed mine kale, collard greens, carrots, potatoes, apples, oranges, celery, broccoli, dandelion leafs, and bug burger. They really don't touch the bug burger.

60 watt incandescent for heat and a reptisun 10.0 uvb fluorescent and a 6500k fluorescent for plants on my veiled cage. A 75 watt ceramic heat emitter, a 12% arcadia and 5 6500k fluorescents on my panther cage. The 12% and a 6500k come on at 7am, at 10:30am the other 4 6500k's come on then go...

I had the same questions JannB had. Usually sleeping during the day and while being handled is not a good sign.

I refuse to go into the big box pet stores for this very reason. They keep their chams in small glass cages. I was there once and the employee told yhis couple to keep a dish of water in with the cham and maybe mist his cage twice a week if they thought about it. I had to say something and told...

Oh, basking area for my adult panther is 86 degrees, top of cage is around 80 bottom stays room temp, around 70.

Heating pads are worthless in a chameleon cage. The spend all their time at the top. Mine ventures down toward the bottom exploring a couple times a day or if he is chasing crickets or roaches, 99% of the time is is on the vines 8 inches from the top. At night he goes into his tree about midway...
