welcome to having a chameleon! :p most don't like to be held or touched! mine runs around the cage and tries to bite me. lately he's been "under the weather" and so was less argumentative, becuase he didn't have the strength to fight me off. now he's feeling better and he gets pissed if i put...

so after i took Karma to the vet, i've noticed that he has a dark spot on one side. the vet held him while he force fed him, could it be a bruise? what do you guys think? [/ATTACH] sorry the pictures are blurry, our camera doesn't take photos very well with the flash off

oh, no! my boyfriend thought that Karma was so cool, he bought himself a veiled cham! his name is Confucius. he's bigger than karma and healthy looking! Tim has spent ALL DAY while i was at work fixing up the cages so that every one is happy. Karma is in a smaller habitat and Confucius got the...

so can i mount the uv light on the wall? maybe 1-3 inches above the cage? i'm worried about the eye thing

so i set the light right on top of the cage, like you guys said, and he won't open his eyes, again! if i turn the uv bulb off then he opens his eyes and starts looking around. any suggestions? i don't want him to get MBD but i don't want him to die from lack of eating cuz he won't open his eyes...

how far away from the cage should i mount the light fixture? the fixture didn't come with a guide and neither did the repti-sun bulb? when i bought the compact Reptisun i believe it came with a guide for optimal placement distance from the cage? any suggestions? i don't want to start any eye...

yup, its a ESU fixture that comes with the 7.0! i wasn't sure about using it so got the reptisun 5.0 just in case! thanks for the help

unfortunately there are only 2 exotic animal vet's that are close by. i got the reptisun linear. going to get it set up in a minute. yeah, i don't know about the food thing. i'll stick with stuff that they would actually eat in the wild, thanks. I don't think that many people in my area own...

I have a 65 gallon apogee reptarium, would using a 7.0 uv bulb be ok? i've seen on here that there has been problems with the 5.0 and the uv not really getting to the cham.

I'm going too! trust me! The food thing I'm unsure about so i sent an email to the company. It looks like from their website, that they make "complete" food for animals, stuff they'd eat in the wild, ya know? so I asked them if they would feed it to a chameleon and how i would go about it. its...

I get my employee discount at petco, but other than that no places that i know of. The vet said i didn't really need a uv light but could use a light called vitalite it's a full spectrum bulb of some sort i'm guessing. i have no idea about it ir why the vet would say i don't need a uv light

yeah, pretty much, and if any one from corporate goes in to the store and there's not a water dish the store gets in BIG trouble!

no, i forgot it until i got home. i'm going to get that and a drip system first thing in the morning.

if its a large chain store, call the corporate office. also, try to get the number of their reptile supplier. ( i have Petco's if its them) and really if the head guys don't seem to care, note everything that's wrong in the store and go to the local news media! the seattle, Wa area news stations...

Ok so i took Karma to the vet today and he gave me some "food" stuff to give him. Its call Insectivore Fare made by Reliable Proteins. Has any one on here ever heard of it or used it? It's supposed to contain al lot more of the nutrients and stuff they'd eat in the wild. The vet also told me to...

We went to the vet today... Karma seems healthy other than the yellow pee stuff! But the vet thinks that may be a problem with his liver. :( He force feed and watered him, and did a fecal swab. i should have the results back in a couple days. I'm totally stressed out about it!! The vet also...

I have no idea where to even start looking for silkworms or horn-worms in the area! i really don't have a lot of place to store them either. I've been buying crickets cuz they are readily available as i just pick them up when leaving work. i tried to give him a waxworm the other day, but i...

i took the evil compact uv bulb off the cage 2-3 days ago. i have been dusting his crix every other day, with calcium and reptivite. unfortunately i work all day so he doesn't get to be outside right now. he's pretty small still and until he starts eating more i'm going to be kinda paranoid. the...

walmart carries the lighting fixtures? sweet!!! I'll check it out!:D yeah, the house lights are temporary until tomorrow. YAY paid day!! I'm really hoping that it'll help. and we're still going to the vet just to make sure that everything is good.

I'm a dog groomer, and a full time parent! so i get to play all day at work and play all night at home! thank god for my boyfriend, cuz my hours are sometimes screwy at work so he helps with the kid, the fish, the dog, and the Chameleon.
