    Anybody know the breed

    Im guessing 75% chance of Ambilobe. 25% chance Ambanja. That covered the overwhelming majority of red/green units. If he was something else, he would be rare and $$$ and not just a "panther".

    Are there any good LED UVB available yet?

    Not sure about cycling . The T5HO bulbs only have 1 "UV" phosphor. Its a pretty wide spectrum burst that peaks in the UVA side. So you end up with a lot of UVA (a good thing) and a usable amount of UVB (that degrades the phosphor rapidly). Odds are Mr. Lola is going to get a LED UVB bulb...

    Advice needed 🙏

    Another vote for renal. Id say half my crew that died of old age, it was renal failure. The kidneys slowly crystalize. I will say the cause is protein type and amount. So depending on what the vet says, and if you can get the fluids going, you might have to put him on a low protein high...

    Are there any good LED UVB available yet?

    https://zoomed.com/uvbled/ https://exo-terra.com/products/lighting/uvb-led-lights/terrasky-uv/ All these "second generation" bulbs are good, but may need multiple to get the same output as a T5HO. So i assume you have been reading up on only the first gens. Those were made out of repurposed...

    calcium

    zoomed Repti Calcium® without D3 is fine. Its made of calcium carbonate which is a high grade source. And arcadia has an entire system you can use. EarthPro-Ca has no D3 in it.

    calcium

    It has "trace elements". Its not a calcium vitamin/mineral combo. You can use it every feeding just like any other d3 free calcium. Can you give us a list of what you can get in your area?

    Fogging

    Uhhhh You fog at night, so they dont have to drink during the day. its how you "naturally hydrate them". You dont fog during the day, infact you want(and most struggle) to lower the humidity during the day so you dont get mold growth etc. 35-45% is perfectly fine during the day. If you are...

    Ive been staring at this way too long. I kinda know whats going on with the back legs. And i see two front hands. But arm/elbow orientation alludes me. Is he holding the sword in his left hand or right hand?

    Dehydrated?

    That is fine. That is not an orange urate. If you want to have some fun, you will find that the orange is a jelly layer on top of the urate, its not orange urate. It the transition layer from the poop to the urate. https://chameleonacademy.com/basics-hydration-for-chameleons/ 2/3 down the...

    Is this sand okay for lay bin? or should i stick to the regular play sand?

    Yes you want "first sand" or "washed sand". Calcium sand clumps vs drains. And if you just get "normal sand" its going to be sand used for industrial used and then "recycled" into bags and sold for landscaping etc. Unfortunately "second sand" has tons of powdered silica dust, and as soon as...

    Call for Research Participation: Fogging in Chameleonoculture

    The fans in the humidifiers are only 4-6CFM depending on the unit. Its is very light, a computer fan would be 20cfm. and the fan is small, normally only 50mm by 50mm, by comparison a small pc fan is 80 by 80.

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    OK good. Unfortunately bulb strength is exponentally lower as you move away. So your 8" measurement might be perfect at uvi 3.0. But 16" is going to be like uvi 1.0 or 0.5, its not going to be half. So like you said you just need a sunning area so the cham can have a choice. You will find...

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    It might be the angle, but that looks like a really low laying setup. you should have a hang out area around 8-10" away from the UVB bulb. Even if its just one angled stick.
