I’m afraid that your reptile store hasn’t given you fully correct info. The most important is your UVB is not the right type. Chameleons need linear T5 fixtures with either Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0 UVB bulbs. Distance between basking branch and light should be 8-9”. The coiled screw in type...

I always just did what needed to be done as quickly and unobtrusively as possible. I tried to keep my body low and small, which wasn’t so hard since I’m very short and my enclosures are all very high. I also tried to keep the floor plan simple, so I didn’t have to move many plants around. There...

Wow! So I had to go all the way back to your first post to compare and WOW! :love: 💗 :love: Here are some of the first pics of him that you posted, so others can compare too. He’s come such a very long way and you’ve really done so awesome with and for him. 🥰🥳

Hi and welcome. 🙂 You want to mist the leaves around your girl for a good two minutes, twice a day…right before lights go on and then off. Try not to spray her directly. Since you’re new to chameleons and have a girl veiled, I do feel compelled to make sure that your husbandry is correct, if...

Ugh! The indignity you have put me thru for wound care. You didn’t even allow me to bite you. My loyal subject Stella watched all and is not pleased. You may want to consider sleeping with one eye open, hooman.

Just another day of playing with my baby silkies. Great way to take my mind off of current world events. Aren’t they just adorable in their little zebra stripes? 🤗

You always have the best eyes! 🥰 I completely missed that. Checking our vet list, surprisingly there are none listed for anywhere in PA. This may help. https://members.arav.org/search/custom.asp?id=3661 You could also ask around anyone you know that has an exotic animal or even pet stores. I...

I’ve used Fluker’s and Zilla basking bulbs with little problems. The worst was Amazon sent them with no padding and I received all of the bulbs broken. These come well padded by the manufacturer and have been working just fine for my chams. I can’t even recall the last time I had to replace a...

Beautiful chams! 💗

This is so sad. 😢 Always make sure people know correct husbandry and have proper set ups before giving them any animal.

Congrats! I’m a total arachnophobe, but jumping spiders are cute. Well, at least their faces are. They lose me when they grow those big abdomens.

Hey there! Great to ‘see’ you and glad that you’re doing well. Ugh! Brumation! 😩 Surprisingly my Spike didn’t brumate this year. He finally discovered head bobbing early last year and that’s pretty much all he does since then. All of my chams and others are doing great. Obligatory pic of Spike...

Poor sweet guy. I wish they would just stop selling animals altogether. Pet food and supplies is a booming multibillion dollar business and they don’t need to sell animals. It’s wonderful that they do have the rescue cats and occasionally dogs every now and then, but they need to stop with all...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Screen cage that I put plastic wrap around the sides to help with humidity because its winter. I am hoping that you have left the door, or at least the lower section of at least one screen panel without plastic for proper ventilation. I have a 16x16x30, it was what I had...

I talk a lot, so am breaking this into two sections. Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon, not sure about his age. I have have him for two weeks I’m going to take a guess that he’s maybe around 5 months or so, based on the size of his casque. Handling - Rarely/Never It’s always good to...

Hi. Give me a few minutes and I’ll go thru your info. :)

Got back from the vet a little bit ago with good news for my little girl. Her bump was some sort of trauma or wound that had been trying to heal, but had hard gunk blocking it. They cleaned it out and put a dab of silver sulfadiazine and said the spot should be able to heal up now. I have to...

As long as the pet stores are making money, nothing will change. While they do make a small amount from selling the animals, they probably make the bulk from selling the supplies for them. It doesn’t matter that the supplies are all wrong. I’m sure they’ve done their research and it’s found that...

Beautiful tall casque! 💗

I don’t have any new ones, so added an older one. :)
