Your comments DO make me feel better. Rango also sees me coming and immediately comes to the front of the enclosure and wants out. He will climb out on the top of the screen door and just sit there looking around, but that makes me nervous since it's almost a 6 foot drop from there to the...

My 9 month old male Ambanja eats like a pig, stays well hydrated and enjoys both his inside and outside enclosure. I feed him gut-loaded (and dusted) crickets, and throw in a few superworms and silkworms (mostly hand fed) for variety. He did a complete shed 2 weeks ago and is also still...

I had a problem with Rango as well running every time the MistKing came on...and don't EVER spray him direct from the misting bottle. I then got an outside enclusure for the outside deck. I bought a Habba System and then noticed that the water outside was a warm 90 degree temp. I swear if...

I don't use a bag, but a tall sided( 8 inches) plastic storage container. It's large enough in diameter that I can shake a tube of crickets in it without them being able to jump out. Rango has gotten used to the container and knows it CHOW time. Whe I'm out of town, my wife or grandson...

Cage anchor suggestion: Go to a garden center where they sell metal fence stakes...the ones that are angular steel. Drive the angles into the ground, at the edges of your cage. Take small wire and at the top and bottm of your cage, go through the cage wire and wrap around the angle posts...

All Chameleons in the wild also face death, except they face it daily from predators and the environment they live in. I'm sure they also get diseases and battle scars from fights and there is no VET for them to go to in the wild. They probably go hungry as I'm sure they don't always have...

I ordered the MistKing starter kit about 1 month ago. I had a timer problem (defective) and Marty replaced it. The only problem I had was it taking so long to come in from Canada. I'm in Florida! If you can find a local distributor, I'd go that route. I LOVE THE SYSTEM as you can...

Some species of lizards are nocturnal. These "red lights" are sold as "night time viewing" lights since the lizards are not bothered by it as they forage and roam around. As mentioned in the previous post, these lights are NOT for Chameleons, as they are usually asleep early in the evening...

YEP...Florida CAN BE the Cham State as the weather down here can be very nice for outside free range and outside enclosures, especially this time of the year! Once I started taking Rango outside, he gets excited everytime I open his inside enclosure, thinking I'm about to scoop him up and...

I'm sure there will be other posts here, but I suspect that you will have humidity issues (not being able to maintain higher humidity) if you have a fan blowing into your enclosure. You mantioned temps, but did not mention humidity. Once you add your live plants and start misting or hand...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY... I can barely REMEMBER when I was only 15. HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY...even if you have to work! Gary Tampa, FL

Any idea of just how old he really is? Great looking guy! Iimagine he's mixed it up with his share of the ladies in his lifetime! Gary Tampa, FL

CONGRATS to the new Moderators. I came to this group with enough Cham knowledge to "get me started" and not do anything dumb, but this group is fantastic with input and additional knowledge for the time(s) when the unexpected comes up and you have no one in your neighborhood to turn to...

I totally agree with Wykd. The MistKing Starter Kit is great for 1 enclosure, but has the (inexpensive) capabilities of expanding to water a few more enclosures down the road. I am a little concerned about the longevity of the digital timer, as mine os only a couple of weeks old. It is...

I bought the MistKing from Canada (the starter set @ $100). The timer was defective out of the box and after emailing Marty back and forth several times, he finally replaced it. Unfortunately, this whole ordeal took about 3 weeks to resolve. Once i got the replacement set up and programmed...

I'm FAR from an ID expert, but he sure lools a lot loke my Ambanja. I'm looking at the head as well as the broken lateral line. He is a "looker: for sure and sure hasa nice coloration. I can't compare his colors to my Ambanja, as mine is red/orange and has several hues of blue ranging...

My Ambanja hikes up his legs all of the time, Occasionally, he will rear up with his body and front legs up in the air like he is begging for a treat. Gary Tampa, FL

After only 2 hours, Rango is no longer a MESS. His colors are really sharp and crisp, much brighter than before. He only has a little bit of loose skin at the tip of his tail. Now, the bottom of the enclosure is a MESS! He is back to his normal self again and just ate 3...
