No...this, as with chameleons in general is not an exact science. The earlier you can get them into their own cages usually the better. Less likely to have injuries or fights and there's no competition for food. Remember they are solitary creatures so in their own cages they will be less...

They are beautiful!!! That birthing vid is amazing. You've got some real talent!!

I switched my beetles into a new container last week. My sister walked into the room and about flipped shit. 15-20 beetles climbing around in the container. She screamed and I laughed hahaha. I'll hopefully have my first batch of supers to feed off in about a month. They are really easy to...

I have a Brita filter hooked up on the kitchen faucet, hot filtered water on tap. I just hate lugging the mister up and down the stairs haha.

Please read and practice EVERY word of this care guide. It'll answer any and all questions you have. http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/

haha sounds like its working. Great thread btw!!!

Welcome glad you found us! What kind of chams do you have? We all love pictures, the more the better!

I use cricket crack, collard greens, kale, squash, grapes, apple and sometimes a little bit of orange. For the veggies I buy one of each a week and everything is fed the greens baby crickets, superworm beetles, baby superworms, etc. I still barely use it all before it goes bad.

Very, very true. I have a guy from the same clutch, really great animals. Enclosure looks great. Beware that hibiscus will die if not put outside every once and awhile. I had one and it didn't last two weeks. Switched it out with a umbrella tree and I have to cut it back every couple weeks.

I always refer to animals as "he" and cars, boats, etc as "she", go figure... He/she is looking amazing!!!

lllreptile.com has the best pricing IMO. I hate those gift cards because you can never use every cent on them. If the total is $.01 over the total on the card it'll be denied. But it sounds like a great option for those who do not have a debt card. Credit cards are a big no no IHMO. Been...

No need for the red heat lamp as veileds need a temp drop at night to help them sleep deeper. Just use a regular incandescent bulb for basking, 40w or 60w which ever gets your temps where they need to be. And put it on the same timer as your UVB bulb. Unless the mesh is really thick a...

Sounds like fungus gnats. They can be pain to deal with. The easiest thing to do is to let the enclosure dry out more. Watering the plants with soapy water will help kill them too. One trick I used that was suggested to me was to wrap the cage in saran wrap with a some of dry ice in there to...

Really glad he is eating and coming along. I really didn't mean for the WC thing to get out of hand like that. Good luck with him!!!

Walmart sells one that measures temp at the unit and a probe and humidity at the unit for somewhere around $13.

It's the tube florescent right? Don't listen to pet stores 98% of the time they have no clue about chameleons. They just try to get you out the door with as much merchandise as possible whether or not it you need or if it is harmful to your chameleon's health. Read the raisingkitty site...

Chameleon use UVB to process calcium. Make sure you are supplementing correctly. The link I provided in the previous post has some really good supplement information. The heating light should be a normal incandescent light bulb 60w or 40w. Whichever gets the basking temp correct.

Get rid of that compact florescent UVB immediately. They are known to cause eye problems. You need a florescent tube UVB preferably a repti-sun 5.0. What is the top made out of? UVB will not pass through glass or plexi. Ditch the substrate, nothing is best or a paper towel for humidity and...

I use a dripper system that I put together with stuff from Home Depot: Rubbermaid tub aquarium heater fountain pump (make sure you get one strong enough to pump the water up high enough) 1/2" tubing (connects to pump) 1/2" to 1/4" reducer (look around the fittings section at homedepot sometimes...

Bad-a I've been planning on getting a misting system with this weeks paycheck and was still kinda torn one which one but I'll be buying a system from you this weekend!
