    Cage Cleaning Reality Check...

    One of my favorite things I changed when I upgraded enclosures was making sure the potted plants aren't laying flat on the bottom of the enclosure. I find that the space between a potted plant and the bottom is a breeding ground for bacteria since there's usually at least some standing water...

    Grasshoppers

    Do you ever worry about parasites with wild caught feeders? Or is this maybe more rare than I've been lead to believe?

    Fruit Fly / Fungus Gnat Problem...Neem Oil Safe?

    Thanks, haha. I'm still trying to figure out the source of my pests. I've gotten rid of most of them with the classic diy vinegar solution all over my room...but now my room smells like vinegar. I'm not convinced they're fungus gnats from the plants in the enclosure so now I'm looking into...

    Anyone know a way to control or eliminate the little flies that hatch from potted plants?

    I've been researching more natural solutions, and I was coming up empty until this thread started. I just own one chameleon (no other pets at all), so keeping another pet, a gecko, isn't really a fitting solution for some fruit flies especially since they're all around the room and not just the...

    Fruit Fly / Fungus Gnat Problem...Neem Oil Safe?

    If anyone is curious...I'm not sure neem oil is actually safe and there's a more recent thread that has some great advice on this topic... The one bottle of neem oil spray I found at Lowe's today said "organic" but it said "not safe for pets" and immediately turned me away.

    Anyone know a way to control or eliminate the little flies that hatch from potted plants?

    I also have fruit flies in the room where my cham is. I was thinking about getting an "ultrasonic pest repeller," but I'm worried it will disturb my feeders that I do want in the room. Anybody experimented with these plugin devices?

    Pro-Tips for Beginners and Planning to Get a Chameleon

    First off, if you haven't already heard this, you've got to do lots of research about all aspects of chameleon care before you're really ready to get a chameleon. If you're thinking, "it's okay, I can just get one and figure it out along the way," then you are doing it wrong and you will most...

    Prepping to get my first chameleon

    I've seen a lot of feeders on Ebay and have had success with it. Also Josh's Frogs has a lot of quality ones as well. I still end up going to the pet stores from time to time, sadly... and unhappily...lol.

    Staying at one spot

    Are you pointing the temp gun at the top of those vines and not the sides of them? You can get a big difference when you do that too.

    Fruit Fly / Fungus Gnat Problem...Neem Oil Safe?

    Lately I've noticed some fruit flies and/or fungus gnats in and around my cham's enclosure. I regularly change out gutloading fruit and veggies in the cricket bin...and dispose of things well, so I'm still experimenting to find the source. I'm also experimenting to determine if I do in fact have...

    Staying at one spot

    My cham will also tilt sideways to hide from me, but I've also noticed him tilted sideways to warm up when I'm not in the room for a while and come back. I've noticed him tilting sideways for both reasons. I'd give him some more time to adjust to his new enclosure,especially with a dramatic...

    Comment by 'amfire125' in 'Cage Upgrade - Story Time Part 1'

    I guess I should have been more specific. There's the simple straight all wood ladder that's almost straight vertical. There's also the hanging ladder thing with twine up top. They're both bird accessories actually. The straight one was the one I was talking about above. The hanging one he LOVES...

    Prepping to get my first chameleon

    @RyanBRZ I've always free-range fed at least half the feeders I'm giving my cham, but I make sure to be selective like everyone has described. In other words, I'll easily let crickets free-range in the cage and my cham loves to hunt them! I have a feeder cup very similar to yours and that's...

    Comment by 'amfire125' in 'Cage Upgrade - Story Time Part 1'

    The small crickets are too loud?... Large crickets definitely make a lot of noise but small crickets hardly make any noise if any. The ladders are in the bird supply section of a pet store, or online a "bird cage accessory." They're not the best for a cham cage because they can't grip them as...

    Prepping to get my first chameleon

    Love the cham cam idea! I've been considering it lately haha. I think I had my cham for 2 full weeks before naming him. It's natural for him to hide a bit as he settles in and gets used to his new home. My cham still likes his privacy and I've had him 3-4 months lol.

    Prepping to get my first chameleon

    Yay!! Congrats @RyanBRZ and glad to see he looks alright despite spending FOUR days in a box! Still so sorry about that experience! I'm sure it's not the first mishap, but it's the first I've ever heard of. Have you named him yet?! If you can find hornworms locally they're good hydration boosts...

    Prepping to get my first chameleon

    @RyanBRZ SO sorry to hear about the shipping issues! That is very scary! I ordered from FLChams and didn't have issues. I also got a juvi 3-4 months old and he was eating small crickets no problem. I highly recommend gutloading and having those ready with all the other feeders you seem to have...
