Well said. You must observe and fine tune for his/her's individual needs.

+1 for the night temp drop. I don't start to worry till I see mid 50's (13C) in their outdoor cages. As long as it's warm and have access to a proper basking spot during the day . If it does start to get colder than you feel is safe, a ceramic heat emitter (out side the cage) or heat pad (under...

They have some good ideas over at Dragon Strand. I was looking at their breeder cages. I may give Uroplatus Sameiti breeding a go. A healthy pair are not easy to find though. I'm not a mail-order kind of person, So I'm waiting for the reptile super show in July. Hope I can find everything I'm...

Yes. He's from Kammerflage Kreations and is now 4yo.

If I use substrate, its coco fiber. I will also only cup/hand feed these cages, no free roaming feeders. For the most part, I have bare floors with drains, as I like to really get them wet once a week. It helps clean the cage, plants and chameleons eyes.

Feeding tongs, I can't deal with "sticky feet"

I don't see a pic, but let me ask you this. If a lion was sitting on your door step, would you be comfortable, or stressed?

Is that duct tape I'm seeing in the first pic? Be careful with that syringe, you can shoot water right into his lungs. If you would please fill this out. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

Great looking cage! I do the same thing with my feeder up and flexible vines. Is that great stuff foam? too lazy to silicone and coco fiber? hahaha!

If you want to heat your misting water, An aquarium heater wont get the job done. I have used a disassembled, heated blanket. I wrapped the wire around the supply line all the way up to the misting head. Works great, but the cost was about 25 bucks a month in energy. Edit: google "heat trace"...

+1 for mistking.

Shes the right age to have eggs and looks a little lumpy, Her closing her eyes is a sure sign that something is wrong. Could be gravid and or dehydrated. Try putting her in the lay bin and give here some privacy. Check on her after an hour or so and see if shes trying to dig. If not, a trip to...

That's the same dimmer I use. 150w will get very hot if ran @ max power, but if you feel its going to get cold at some point, it would be better to have a little more than you need and just throttle back on the dimmer. My house is climate controlled @74° year round, so I don't need more than...

It's not about using the bulb I use or the one he uses, but using a light emitting bulb to get the results you want. Your not going to get it from ceramic with out really pumping power into it. Then you end up with a burnt chameleon. You might only need a 75w, or maybe a 120w. If not running...

The differences are in the packaging. They want you to think its special and you can only get it from them. Then tack on a extra 5 bucks. Why would someone pay 8 bucks for a light bulb that you can get for a dollar every where else. Example: Repti Fogger, 50-60 bucks Vs Crane Drop Ultrasonic...

A chameleon is not a snake, nor do they bask the same way. The point I was trying to make about the ceramic heaters is, the surface gets hot and that heat will travel up, not down. like you need it too. This is different than the heat from light radiation that is produced from a filament. I...

Thank you for your reply's. I was thinking I could have it turn on, just as the mistking shuts off. Run for an hour and stop. I'm using the zoomed "Big Dripper" now and I would gladly pay a days wage to not have to fill and make room on top of the cages anymore.

I'm guessing you will be housing a Chameleon. Ceramic heaters get hot, heat rises.. What you need for a basking spot is "heat projection" A light bulb will better focus the heat to where you want it. What I use is a regular 100w (frosted) incandescent bulb. 2 for 99 cents at dollar tree. (not...
