    Alternatives to egg crate?

    I have over 1500 dubia roaches coming my way but no egg crate. I can get used stuff from my local pet store, but I didn't spend the money on roaches to smell cricket poop. I wondered about folded or crumpled card stock... I'm saving up toilet paper and paper towel rolls, but unless I greatly...

    Advice on night time temperatures?

    I've heard it's acceptable for the chameleons to be lowered into a temperature of around the mid 60s or so at night. Do they still need a heat source if I do this? Or since they're sleeping are the mid-sixties okay?

    How to prevent damage to hardwood floors from misting system?

    Hello everyone! I have my mistking system set up on the ceiling to spray down on my free range. However some of the water is getting on the floor. I can't shorten the duration, otherwise my humidity drops. Of course, I could shorten the duration and get a humidifier in addition, but I'd like...

    Feeding schedule?

    Is there a chart that equates age or weight with how much a panther chameleon should eat? I know the "between the eyes" rule, but this doesn't tell me HOW MANY insects to feed. Help much appreciated-- TA

    My first chams come Saturday!

    Getting an ambilobe male (son of chameleon paradise's 24k) and a female, daughter of cowboy! Super jazzed! I admit I'm a little overwhelmed getting everything around. I keep thinking I'm almost done, but then I see opportunities for improvement. Damn my perfectionism! It doesn't help that I'm...

    Temperature/Humidity extremes when traveling through the house

    Hello: It has been recommended to me to take my chams out in the summertime to get some fresh air and sunshine. I was wondering, though, if in going to from the warm, humid, cham room, through the colder, dryer house, then back out into the warm, humid outdoors would be stressful... or since...

    HELP: Best Enclosure for Baby Cham?

    Hello all: I have a 3" long baby cham coming to me on Saturday, and I'm concerned about the enclosure. Plastic tubs have been recommended to me, possibly with the tops cut out and replaced with screen, but this doesn't make much sense, considering most of these same people get pretty crabby...

    How young is too young for free range?

    I have a small freerange setup in my cham room. (NOTE: I'm not talking about roaming the whole house here.) One of the chams I'm getting on Saturday is 7 months old, 3" long. When can she go out to play? TA

    What to do on the First Day Home?

    Hello all: My first cams are coming Saturday, and I'm wondering what I should be prepared for the first day. With other pets I have, it has been recommended to me to place the animal in it's enclosure and leave it alone for a day. This seems logical. I certainly wouldn't expect to handle them...

    Female and Male Seeing each other OK?

    Hello all! My male and female ambilobe come Saturday. YAY! One of the many questions I have is: I've heard that the males and females should not see each other when not breeding. My question is a practical one. I'm trying to set up my chameleon room, and I'm not completely certain where...

    HELP -- New to chams

    Hello: Although I am new to chameleons, I'm not new to exotic pets. I have had geckos and saltwater aquarium successfully for quite some time. I am interested in getting a chameleon, but I'm not terribly interested in the common ones recommended for beginners. Is there a Cham that is a little...
