Most of the issues with your setup/feeding/gutloading are addressed in this caresheet, as well as some things about egg laying. Female chams lay eggs regardless if they were mated with a male or night.

Do you have a saltwater fish store around you? Most (at least the good ones) use RO/DI water in their systems and sell the water at about a dollar a gallon. I had my own unit for my tanks long before I got into the cham thing but sold it when I moved to college. Now I buy store water. lol
Hmm..I don't know if this applies for chameleons, but I do saltwater tanks and lately we have been switching over to high output LEDs. The only reason I am thinking about suggesting looking into this for you is because I've noticed that some people use high output T5s for their chams, which...
You said the breeder offered a 7 day guarantee which increased to 30 if you bought a setup? We're not allowed to bash names on here, but I've been doing a lot of shopping around lately and have only noticed one site that offered that. Not mentioning names, was this poor fella bought from one...
I'm still pretty new to chams myself, but I thought I would ask the butter worm thing because I've noticed a few threads popping up where some chams had an allergic reaction to them that turned their neck/throat area black.
The best way to get some of the senior members to help ya out is to...
Haha I can sort of mimic your light schedual! The fixture runs off of one plug, but has two built in timers and a LED "moon light". Only thing that sucks is that the LEDs don't have a timer, just the bulbs. Each has its own switch though, so I can just turn the LEDs off so its 100% dark at...
Actually, one more question! I was talking about separating the silkies by the weeks I hatch them. Is that even necessary? They aren't cannibals, right? And I could tell which ones to feed by how big they were, no?
Hm, I may still try it, but if my silkies die I'll know why. I don't have a bug/reptile room. This is just one pet chameleon who's cage is in my bedroom. I have a closet/attic that I was planning on storing the bins in with heat lamps. I wasn't originally going to give the silkies a lamp...
Well, I kinda get the feeling that if just you send in a letter these corporate big wigs are just gonna ball it up and put it in the circular file cabinet, if you know what I mean. If it has a bunch of names on it, it might up the shock value and make them pay attention, especially if all of...
