That's what I thought but I had never owned any other animal that needed those specifically. And UVB is ABSOLUTELY necessary, its so they can function their calcium intakes, which is the most essential vitamin for a chameleon. Or something along the lines of that, I'm not an expert...but you...

Well its starting to get down to the 60's at night outside and we turn off our A/C. I opened up my window and stuck a fan in it and it blowed outside air in and I thought he wouldnt mind because it only got down to like 65, but the next day when i brought the room temps back up with the heater...

Yes, the Reptisun 5.0 coil/tube is recommended. Along with a heat lamp, a regular house hold bulb will suffice. anywhere between 45-60 watt, depends on the age of your guy. Dont fall for the pet store heat bulbs, biggest waste of $20 you'll ever see lol. I got 4 bulbs for 2 dolla's at wally wurld.

Will a regular heater that you put in your room work? I can point it at the cage . It has a motor it isnt a coil heater.

Well I recommend keeping his light schedule the same as the sun hours. Just make sure to adjust it over a span of a few days about 30 minutes at a time. How are his urates looking?

And I know its a pain in the ass but it will only help Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule...

If your gut tells you that it isnt the sun light hours, than it may be a case of dehydration. Are his eyes sunken when he sleeps?

Has the sun set when he is asleep? Check a weather website and see what times your sun is rising and setting.

Depending where you live, the sunlight hours could just be changing. This recently happened with my guy. He went to bed about 45 minutes early while the lights were still on and the sun was already down. Hasn't done it since that day. I just adjusted his lighting hours and I havent seen him...

Oh and when I ask her to do something my step-dad (being the VERY nosy jack ass he is) will be like "What does he want?!" My mom will reply in the voice of a witch "Its for the lil expensive CHAMELEON" She'll say the same thing about the crickets "Need to go get more CRICKEYS!"

He looks great :D And trust me I know where you're coming from when it comes to people criticizing you on your lil guy. My mom is always asking me questions about why I need this and why I need to do that. And half the time when I try and explain to her WHY I need what ever it is. She just...

Maybe because the chameleon knows they're illegal in Florida. lol

I want to start on a project like this. Just some Plywood and screws and imagination can go a long way in making something that will make your's and your chameleons life 10x easier. I want to make a square fold down base that can fold in on my window on the inside, and then fold up to a 90...

I find it a little hard to position them "above" the cage so many inches. And what about people with tubes. They dont have it lifted off the cage. But I guess a coil is more concentrated, so what I did was I found an old lamp and did that. The lights were flexible and I intertwined them to make...

I had just started doing it about a week ago so I'll stop. I knew they were high in fat and not the healthiest thing so I limited him on them. Thanks :D

Good Method What I did with my guy when he was little was avoid eye contact with him completely and try and hand feed him once a day and make eye contact with him that one time a day. After about 4 days of failed attempts of him eating out of my hand, he went for it. I did that daily for about...

My male Veiled Cham (8 months) went to bed today around 45 mins early before lights out. I live in the mid east of the U.S. and our daylight hours went back about a hour or so. He started shedding today and I think he might just be stressed and tired. He didnt seem to happy today when I tried to...

I live a pretty descent way from our city. Its not a city city but its still a city and I wouldnt trust its water. My shower water taste pretty normal when I brush my teeth so I would imagine its safe lol. I gave him a nice long hot shower instead of a room temp shower this morning with tap...

I have a round up sprayer as well. How do you heat your water up? I dont think its to good to microwave plastic lol. Edit: I only use gallons of spring water I get from walmart. Would tap water not hurt for a shower?

Yah I told my my mom to get the cricket diet from a specific pet store(I think its basically bug burger), and she came back home with the orange cubes from pet smart :rolleyes: The packaged oranges are in 100% fruit juice, not syrup. I just looked at the ingredients, they are in white grape...
