Lots of times you dont see them drink!! Put a cup up top and use a little needle to poke a hole in the bottom, then strategically place it so the drops hit leaves which catches your chams attention!!
Theres a couple of good threads on Rain Domes on here too!!!
The thing to watch as Ive learned...
Has anybody tried to use house flies as a feeder?? Was just wondering cuz you could raise the maggots on gutload and once the sprout wings they would be fun little targets for our hunters!!!
Has anyone tried to raise them or even used them??

Im thinkin a straight sided bowl around 3 to 4 inches in diameter and at least 3 inches deep, the less room for them big critters to jump the better!!! Your Cham should be able to feast from the top rim, and shaking them around with calcium helps them from not jumping around so much!!
Oh,,,and...
I got my guy at 4 weeks old, and have been cup feeding ever since!!
I just place it in a space between branches and once he sees the critters moving around he scoots right over and feasts!!!
Just worrying as he gets bigger so do the crickets so the bowl is gunna hafta get bigger too!!!
What A Gorgeous Little Fella!!!! Sure doesnt look like like a Hutt,,,,but cool name foresure!!!
Im kinda new to Chameleons,,,so excuse my ignorance,,,but what kind is he??
Supplementation is key!!!

Get a good gutload recipe or one of the store bought ones and let the feeders feed on it, I got my guy bowl feeding, which i like better than free...

Just thought Id introduce everyone to the newest member of my family,,
this is Guber, u pronounced oo!!!
I was told he was a male when I got him 2 weeks ago, he was only 4 weeks old at the time, Ive had him for 2 weeks...
Well to my knowledge, I think that the UVB lamps are just for giving UVB to our chams!!! You would need another bulb to add heat, depending on the size of the cage, would determine the wattage you need, this is what the cham would be basking under!! And this bulb should be on the same timer as...
heres another thing I notice,,,and would like to rectify!!! I am bowl feeding him,,,just because of past experiences with crickets!! Anyways,,,I am using a clearish/white bowl and he sees the critters from the outside,,,and sometimes will try to get them from the outside,,,is there any...
