I'm not bioactive in my cages, but do you think I could get a colony of these rove beetles and put some in each pot that I have in there? So, a few in each pothos plant, for example, and do you think they would stay there? Think my husband will divorce me if I had these escape the reptile...

I was in a Petsmart and wandered by the lighting section. I stood and listened to a salesperson sell a $25 basking light to a couple of guys because one of their girlfriends needed it for her beardie. I was leaving and saw them in line with it, swung over and said, "sorry, couldn't help but...

I just wish I had actually intended that pun! :ROFLMAO:

This is well-deserved - you have come so far and helped so many people and you are joining the ranks of some truly incredible keepers. A hearty congrats to you!

Also you want to make sure you are really close to him because a bird can swoop down and nab him in a second. The natural sunlight is awesome for him though so great that you could take him outside!

Sorry I'm late to the party, but welcome to the forums! Remember, you are doing the BEST thing for your new little girl by coming here and asking questions. We were all beginners at one point, in your shoes, and we are all happy to help. It sounds like your new little girl has a great start...

I was just getting bloodwork done for a new job at a hospital and was talking to the nurse about chameleons (I have a 3/4 sleeve of my veiled Turk on my arm that she saw). She was talking about her daughter's veiled who is 8 and who she babysits. She described giving him warm baths and...

Also, tap the top, or the sides to knock them back down, and keep doing it to keep them from jumping out. Alternatively you could throw the container in the fridge for a few min for them to go to sleep, then pull them out and quickly clean the cage before they wake up.

I change mine as well, and second the opinion of mirroring the sun. My reptile room has a window and I keep the shades open for my little ones :) It may take them a week to adjust but they will do so just fine. If you are concerned you could always make the adjustments over a 4-day stretch...

I live in FL, and have a well with hard water. I would go to the local supermarket and buy the purified water from the water machines just inside the door, and use a large 6 gallon carboy to tote it home. If I used my well water, which was fine for the chameleons, it would plug up the mister...

She will, she'll just need a little time to adjust. Give her a couple of weeks and she'll be just fine

Great pics as always, Jann! What do your new neighbors think of seeing you taking Piper for a walk (or any of the others in your backyard?)

I can't speak to the Zen cages, as all I have are Dragonstrands, and I do not have a bioactive cage (unless you count plant gnats!) :ROFLMAO: However, I took a pic of my Large Dragonstrand Atrium next to a 2x2x4 to get a good visual of the space differences. I was in the process of switching...

I fell into the same trap. My mom loves elephants, so after a trip to a zoo in Colorado where I saw they sold paintings that their elephants made I ordered her one for Christmas. After that I heard on my Stuff You Should Know (SYSK) podcast about the darker side of this practice and was upset...

I can't speak about the babies, however you should not be housing all those females together in one cage. Each chameleon needs it's own separate cage which is also visually separated from those next to it. Please let us know if you have any other questions, because perhaps your husbandry could...

Such a cute little dear! I love looking at photos of Jacksons

Can't wait to see the little cuties that this handsome couple made!

Such a beautiful cham! I remember him hatching and love that pic of him on the pencil :)

OP, your writing style is fantastic, and I read it in my head in the voice of my Scottish friend! I too wasn't thrilled about the idea of bringing bugs into the house, but I did get over it. For crickets what I did before I could touch them was to buy a hand-held vaccuum (like a Dirt Devil if...

I've had the best luck with spider plants when they weren't directly under the lights, but instead were shaded by other plants just a touch. So I put my pothos a little higher, and let them shade the spider plants. Also, when the pup out (sprout that fireworks looking bush), you can clip that...
