Great story. Proves they can survive without us. Happy for you to have him back. Hopefully this 'WC' will adopt to his new situation.

Sound like it. Amazing collection of Chameleons you have there. I stopped all the beautiful chams as it is way too hot where I live. Need to stay with Panthers and Veiled. Had too many bad experiences with montane or other central African species.

lilac is safe and great too, as it is pretty hardy when it comes to different climatic conditions. More visual but not really good for climbing for your meller. I am not so sure if it needs a 'dry season' though.

Sorry for your Cham's having a bad burn. With the rather large size of the burn, you should sill get a vet asap. And if he is a notorious screen climber, you should raise your basking light higher above the cage. I don't know your cage setup, but I experienced Chams to be more likely to climb...

Super Hot. Love the first pic. Do you still have other things to do than Chams?:)

The best for indoor enclosures for me have been Ficus, Dracena, and all the palm bushes, tropical bamboo and Pothos, Passion Flower (last two create endless amount of vines for the cham to climb along). I always felt that Hibiscus is more of a troublemaker. Needs to be replaced quite often as it...

Besides filling out the form I would separate them right away. They are too big to be housed together. Especially 2 males and one female.

Do you cup feed only or do you let the prey loose? I realized that my panther never cup feeds. I have to let the prey roam free. I guess for mine it is the prime instinct of hunting that is too strong. I would try letting them loose in the cage and see how he reacts. If your overall humidity is...

I love the furcifer timoni pics you posted. Looks like a stunning Cham. The coloration is a mix between the elegant strips of a parsonii and the Brady's. Thanks for posting.

The grasshopper's legs were moving. And of course this is staged. It is a documentary. You don't want to make a movie of the boring parts of an expedition, right?

I saw once a neat shop concept. I think it is called the reptile zoo. They should be in L.A. Area. They have a great setup, do inhouse breeding of expensive snakes and have event rooms for parties as well as education. And they are doing a lot of merchandise including you tube channel. That...

I would suggest life plants. They keep humidity better and also help to supply the needed temperature gradient. I would get a 5.0 as it is the right one for tropical species. 10.0 is designed for desert species. You should supplement calcium without d3 every feeding and with d3 and...

Can you fill out the help form? Should give us a better understanding about your animal and it's husbandry. In general: if the Cham looks healthy and hydrated, has a strong grip, receives well gut loaded food and has proper lighting, you should not worry too much. Yet it might be that it...

I always use soil but with a good drainage. My cage bases are basically a huge planter box. Never had an issue with that. Sometimes the chams eat a bit of dirt. As long as you have no stagnant water, there will not be any mould in a screen cage and the soil will be safe. Just make sure it is...

Just bought an RO system. In parallel my nozzles are completely clogged up and are now clearing up in a vinegar solution. Hopefully things improve with the RO. So far we filtered water and boiled it for both drinking and misting.

Umbrella plants are not really tropical but subtropical, which is why they cannot take constant wet feet. I would either increase the drainage holes or use a sand mixture, which does not hold moisture as much as potting soil.

Are you kidding? This is the most amazing collection of Chams I have every seen. I am really speechless. Congrats. Love the Namaquas.

Lucky you. You might end up with a stunning monster (he looks awesome). My ambanja is getting so picky. Have to change feeders at least every other day. If not available, he is on a strike - hate him.

Sounds like a great program. Silkworms are on the other end of the spectrum. They have been domesticated for so long that they became extinct in the wild and lost all their natural defense mechanisms. They solely depend on humans now with 0 wild specimen.

I have a planter drain pot under my cages with a hole in the base of the screen enclosure. Enclosure is on stilts. You don't need much space to do that and it will help not to disturb the Cham too often (in case it is not the most friendly type).
