So, we went on vacation to Hawai'i in early December and Loki was staying at home by himself! I fed him like crazy and let some crickets go in his cage before we left and he's got a mist king and drainage system to keep the humidity right while we were gone...but how was I going to give him the...
I'm so happy we've made it this far and no problems yet! "knock on wood" He's happy, healthy and the sweetest little guy ever. Loves to come out and go out into his sunning cage on nice days and taking long "showers" under his dripper bottle :) I just love my little "tour of Madagascar"! Loki is...
It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's an update! Loki is doing amazing! He's healthy, friendly and beautiful as always:D Here are some recent pics of Loki at 1.5 yrs old:
Just randomly found this site, thought I'd share! It's pretty cool, and has amazing photos and videos :)

So Loki has shed, and his stripes are changing! He's going on 14 months now, and I didn't expect this, but since his last shed he just finished today his stripes are changing colors.
Here was Loki before his latest shed:
Here he is now:
I just thought it was kinda neat how...
Here are a few pics I got of Loki out in his tree for the first time in months :) He's going on 15 months now and He was one happy boy! Oh, and a few of my other baby, my wheaten terrier Ali :) She loves to watch her "brother" in the tree lol
Are the purple heart wandering jew plants okay for chameleon enclosures? I see wandering jew on the safe plant list, but it's a different kind, and I wasn't sure if anyone has used this before? Here is a link to a picture:

I just have some lying around...
So I have been putting together all the different parts to his new enclosure for some weeks now, and I'm still waiting on a few things in the mail that I ordered online (This holiday mail is killing me!!) So here's my plan of what I will have set up:
24W x 24D x 48H Black screen cage from LLL...
I bought some expensive grapewood for my upgraded cage I'm working on and I'd like it to last as long as possible. Can I waterproof it somehow to where it would be safe for my little guy and make it last longer?
I bought a fish tank stand for my cham cage that was supposed to be sealed from water, and the stain is rubbing off and the inside is starting to warp from being damp from the mister bucket....so I probably will need to restain and seal and I need to know what is safe?
I'm totally freaking out right now...I have never seen this before. I visited loki for some food today and hand fed him some butterworms, came home four hours later and found him like this! Any info would help guys..I'm trying hard not to panic. He was perfectly fine when I saw him four hours...
Loki is over a year old now, and hasn't "fired up" for about 5 months! He's very easy going, which I LOVE! But I want to see his "fired up"colors! I was trying to think of the best way to do this without stressing him out too much...I tried the mirror and he just looked at it and tried to climb...
I'm trying to raise a few hornworm moths to give my panther cham some different stuff to eat and I wasn't sure if they would be too big? They are gigantic and I don't want him to choke, but he eats the almost full size worms and are okay getting them down..He's one year old. Thanks for any input!
My 1yr old panther has has loose skin and looked dull for almost three weeks now and I'm waiting on that shed....is there anything I can do to help him out like a warm shower or something? It's just BEGGING to pop and it's looked like this for almost 3 weeks it's driving me crazy! lol:p
So I was hearing that crickets eat the bug burger better if it's dry instead of made with water. I never would have even thought of this! I put dishes with the wet and one with the dry, and they LOVE it dry! The crickets won't even touch the wet with the dry mix in there. I also have moisture...
I need a better cage than the one I have now. I bought the one I have off amazon and it was cheaply made, but has held together okay since I've had it, I would just like to free range some of Loki's crickets without worrying about them escaping...
I'm having trouble finding what I want...
Okay so today was beautiful, not too hot and we were going to the inlaws to let our dog swim and I thought: "I wanna bring Loki!" My husband reminded me of an old cage I had from a rat I adopted from petco a while back that someone left there (so sad! I couldn't just leave her there:() So I...
