I purchased the new large atrium breeder cage and drainage tray for it from Bill, in addition to the Arcadia 24" T-5 Quad Bulb Fixture with Arcadia %12 bulb and two 6.5k daylight bulbs and a plant light bulb as recommended on Bill's website. I felt it was time to really give Mohammed an...
Fill this out please, it will help us help you. Please take care of your Cham, and from the looks of it you have major changes that are critical to the well being of your animal.
Keep in mind with lighting like that you now have a tremendous amount of heat with no way for any air to by...
Dump the fountain immediately.
I made the same mistake when I first got a chameleon, the box even had a picture of a chameleon on it...gotta be safe right?! Wrong.
Bacteria and illness will plague your husbandry simply because chameleons will poop in running water. Period. Then a cricket will...
It's such a good podcast. The information bill presents regarding the impact stress has in chams is almost like absolute scripture and should be must-know for chameleon owners.

Sounds like a great setup! Just a couple suggestions!
Don't rely too much on store-branded items for interior husbandry such as fake vines/plants/bamboo simply because you can go to somewhere such as Lowes or Joanne's Fabrics/Honby Lobby and save yourself a LOT of money!! For example I bought...
I've had a laying bin for a couple weeks with no success....I have tried a soil/sand mix, now I'm trying a sand option by itself. Moist, malleable for burrowing.
But look at these....
Also swelled up because she's aggravated in taking pictures XD
Yeah I'm trying to find the exact cage size that I looking for. I haven't found a breeder cage from dragonstrand big enough for what I'm looking for. What's the biggest size bill sells?
Here's my current setup and I am looking for recommendations on which dragonstrand enclosure to purchase with these plants, plus a 42" focus I've been growing :)
I have very good gradients up and down the enclosure to include humidity gradients and of course temperature gradients.
If possible...
They will be to supplement my cham's diet...I've been told you can keep them in a refrigerator to slow metabolism and extend the pupae cycle? Any truth to that?
Any recommendations on the keeping of these as feeder (not for breeding purposes) items for my veiled?
I've seen things like shallow clear containers, etc. Just wanted some info from the pros :)
Thanks in advance!
May I ask what enclosure you are using and the dimensions?
Very pretty botany going on in there, I see plant pots so some artificial but most real? Or all real?
Looks gorgeous!
As far as lizards, and in my opinion, even all reptiles are concerned, chameleons to me are the most fascinating, complex, dynamic, personable, and full of character...If there was an animal closest to a dog in terms of friendship, love, and sense of appreciation, to me the old-world chameleon...
Yep, I've dove into all those resources. The plant pot shown in the second video is nearly exactly identical to the pot I use, I just feel like it's not big enough maybe because I have a massive shefflera tree pot next to it.
12 inches + is what I have available for her to lay in; the shefflera...
There are also a TON of site members who maintain supplies of feeders, do some browsing here in the food/nutrition areas and you will find what you're looking for. They will ship them to you for a very reasonable fee as well. I will take an established hobbyist's feeder bugs over pet co. or pet...
