Yeah no big deal, you also may want it on the top instead of the side. I have a metal rack on top of my cages to reduce the temperature and to limit the distance between them and the light so they don't burn themselves. You can also for male Veileds just use a common house hold bulb, not sure on...
Believe me, you are gonna be shocked when you see the growth rate in a couple of months when his casque starts getting bigger and bigger, I wish I would have done this with my Veileds!
I would recommend Ficus Benjamina, I had that in my enclosure last spring and it was great, had it all the way up until December and then it took a plunge for some reason. Just make sure you Spot clean it from poop because the poop tends to kill the leaves and brances, not sure how big your...
When Isabella was pooping on her plant I was spot cleaning everyday. Just because if you leave it on the plant to long the bacteria destroys the plant and causes those branches to die, just from my experience. But I would just spot clean the rocks thats all.
I would be iffy on mealworms just because of the chitlin in the shell is pretty hard to digest if they don't have the proper heating. I would put crickets in there in a feeder and leave them in there for him. He won't ignore them long, young chameleons are feasters and eat a ton especially at...
Oh gosh one more thing I saw you had a red light, I would recommend switching to a basking bulb, nothign to strong since he is young or at least looks like it. You want something that will produce a a heat of around 85 at the basking spot(depending on the age and gender of your chameleon) and 80...
Alright well lets start with this. I on my enclosure drilled holes in the bottom and I put a bucket underneath my stand. Works perfect and I have no problems. But anyway, if that is your finished enclosure, not a great start but its a work in progress, my cages I've had for about a year aren't...
Honestly, I would wait if there is a Reptile Expo by you everyone sells them cheap as heck! I got my colony of over 50 roaches to start for $20.00. Not sure where you live but I would look it up. Otherwise plenty of forum members like crocky have colonies available, check the forums classifieds.
Hey guys, I'm not new to the hobby obviously, but I had some questions about calcium. I normally buy a regular off brand calcium for Isabella and give her that D3 and herptivite twice a month. So just curious because I've been looking at Repashy on one of our site sponsors, and what should I...
Like Carol said wait a few months when you have 1,000!!!! When I joined the forum i racked up 1,000 posts in about 3 months or so :) Then I took a leave of absence from forum and I've already done 100 posts this month! Its addicting and helping people really racks it up :) Congrats on 100 though!
and don't put a whole piece of orange, mango or potatoes. I put about a quarter of the orange in and the same with. But that is because normally I was feeding about 1,000 crickets at a time so you can use a bit less depending on how many you keep at a time.
To answer your question about the fresh food, I change it every 2 or 3 days, just watch it for moulding, that is the biggest thing. For a gutload I normally use fresh oranges, mangos, and potatoes in a mix with some bug burger on top of it. I would normally go through about 4 oranges mangos and...
Yeah so he may not be getting enough heat, is he a darker color all through basking or is he is his same brighter color. I know young panthers don't have very much coloration at all at that age but is it a light or dark brown? Because if he remains the darker brown that may mean he needs just a...
You said 3-4 months previously... I may be mistaken... But Yeah 30-33 I would guess. Just because with it being cold in your house the more heat won't feel as powerful because of the draftiness of your home. And yea I believe if you take more time misting and make sure you cover the entire cage...
