Yeah he ended up getting stuck under a fake plant after I posted this. So I carefully moved and set him on another branch, he opened his eyes for a second but wouldn't move at all. Then he just kept switching from lying down to sitting up all night :p I think they must dream and stuff. He...

My cham is on a regular 8am-8pm schedule. He went to bed on time, all comfy and ready to sleep. The lights were turned out so he had darkness and his temps are normal. About 3 hours later now he started walking around. I checked on him and his eyes are still completely closed but he was moving...

I've used flukers for months. It works well, the crickets will go right for it. The dry cricket diet isn't bad just don't get the cubes.

Your cham will need a basking and uvb light (can't tell from pic if you have those and your just starting the set up). I'd also add a couple vines for more climbing areas. The plants look great! Lots of hiding and climbing opportunities. If you don't have a way to give your plants sunlight I...

Yeah I always have to check on her when I go there because I feel so sad for her. I have a crested gecko and it needs high humidity and a bit lower temps as well so I think my room will be ok. Will people from CF grab up any babies she has pretty fast? I wouldn't have room for them (sadly...

My local pets mart (i think, or petco) has had a female jackson for awhile now. It is their first chameleon the store has been allowed to sell. I feel bad because the girl I always get crickets from said they had her set up correctly (a dripper and such) but corporate made them remove the...

I just use a regular red party bulb. It is like 13w, I found it at lowes. I think my gecko can tell when it is on so I only turn it on to check on her at night.

Cute! I think Clyde looks creepy when he looks at me with both eyes :p

Yes. It is just to ensure your chameleon is safe at night from being bit and so you can easily tell how much they are eating. It really depends on what you like best and how much time you want to spend making/putting one into the cage. With a bowl you just need to hang it in the middle with...

I just sand down the edges with a file or sandpaper and round the corners. Then run a finger along to make sure everything is smooth.

I'm really nervous to set up a free range. Does everyone think my little guy would be ok? I'm such an over protective "mom" that I've never given my cham a chance to learn that "you can't walk on air or slippery things or you will fall". I'm afraid he is just going to slip off of a free range...

Definitely check youtube, I made my feeder cup out of a Sunny D jug following one the videos I found. It is just putting your feeders into some kind of container (a drink jug, a small tuber-ware, a round dish) that you put into the cage so your chameleons can go to it and eat rather then all...

I've been using rep-cal for my calcium and multi-vitamin and it seems good. I use Repashy for my gecko food though so I may look into their supplements since I have to restock on everything soon.

I use the dry Flukers cricket diet and it seems to work well. The Flukers cubes are no good though.

Your care seems great, I don't think there is anything your doing that could be causing your little guy to be ill. Is he just refusing food completely or does he attempt to eat still? He may just not like crickets but that seems doubtful being just a baby. It is in the 70s here now too so I...

The top of the cage is a bit higher than my head as it stands now, I can't even reach things on top of it without standing on something. Unfortunately I have to use fake trees and plants for a free range. My room is in the basement so it's hard keeping live plants alive down here, I don't think...

I didn't re-pot the plants so they could have been there. I've had it for at least a couple months without seeing any though. I haven't had a problem with the original soil so far, Clyde doesn't try to eat it or anything. Organic soil was very hard to find in my area, the kind I did find and...

The size of plants I'd like to use for free ranging are like $50 :eek: I think the multivitamin has some D3 in it but it probably couldn't hurt to do a separate dusting so I'll look into getting some.

I'll wait out the rest of the week and see what happens I think. Once the weekend comes around I can get my boyfriend to help me pull the pot off and look at the soil. I have to go buy some new soil too. Does anyone have suggestions on storing their soil or where to get soil that would be...

Clyde does it all day till he is completely worn out haha. I'm just not sure about setting up a free range if he only wants out to go bother my gecko.
