Hi and welcome! :) We can most definitely help you. For lights, you need a linear UVB, preferably a T5 (you currently seem to have a T8) with either an Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0. While a good uvb light can be a bit pricey, it’s no where near $200. I suggest going thru...

Alrighty, see my feedback in bold also Cage Info: Cage Type - zoomed screen cage the biggest one they had about 40 something inches tall, 24 inches wide, and about 24 inches in length. Perfect! Lighting - I’m pretty sure the brand is zoomed again not 100% sure for the lights, if I remember...

I've never provided water for any of my insects, just fresh food and places for them to hide. I use egg crate flats, but you can also use kitchen or toilet roll tubes. My current cricket box is an adapted storage box since I ordered 500 crickets, but the company sent 1000 instead! Sometimes, I...

NO DON'T SHUT UP! Lol. Okay with the new enclosure coming, I am not going to turn the tank and create more work for myself. Instead I'm just going to get her out of the enclosure for a bit each day and under the UVB lights until her enclosure comes in this week. That way she's getting UVB (I...

YOU ARE AWESOME!! NONE of the 30 minute tutorials I watched mentioned that UVB doesn't pass through glass and screen is required, I'm assuming it's because most people START with screen cages. I watched every single one I could find and read the comments of each to get an idea for callouts of...

I can see plainly just by the cage set up one major issue. He can not get close enough to the UVB to be able to actually get what he needs. the branches are way too far away from the lighting. We need specifics to give you an exact distance needed. Copy and paste the form below into your reply...

Hello everyone, it has been a little more time since my last message and I hasten to inform you that nothing has changed with our problem (. He also can't shoot his tongue beyond two centimeters. We also have a few more problems and I don't understand why I'm asking you to help me. I began to...

Hi all, Just hoping to get a general husbandry check on my guy as a paranoid reptile parent. Chameleon Info: •Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Yuki is a 10 month old male panther chameleon and I have had him about 4 months...

Thank you so much. It is so helpful to hear the anecdotal differences that people have found to work effectively.

Hi and welcome. I’m afraid your guy doesn’t look very well. I have a ton of questions so that I can try to help you figure out what might be going on and how to correct it. If you could copy/paste the following with your answers, we can get started. I will color the most important info needed in...

I have moved the lay bins to a Styrofoam cooler with holes. This helps maintain humidity and 85 degree temps. Close to hatch time I'll move the lay bin to a reptibreeze with corrogated plastic sides.

I'm also going to update my husbandry review to see if there's anything incorrect there: Your Chameleon My guess is he is around 5-6 months old, and he's been in my care since the 16th of this April. Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I interact with him every day lately...

An often overlooked method for increasing and maintaining humidity is a good old spray on the screens. A Mist King can’t do this. Get a good hand sprayer and hit your screens with some lovin after you’ve soaked the interior of your enclosure. This creates a moisture buffer and will hold...

I probably wouldn't chase him. I'd cup a hand around him to restrict his movement instead. Instead of using plain water to rinse/flush his eye, I'd try some gently warmed sterile contact lens saline instead. It will sting less. I'd also wear a colored glove while trying to corral him for...

Hi! 🙂 So glad your little green honey has started digging. Your husbandry looks quite good. I’ll go thru it just to be nit-picky, but you’re doing fine. Btw, I’m no where near a master of anything - I just listen well to those with experience, consolidated their knowledge and guidance and wrote...
