Cage Info: Cage Type - XL Reptibreeze, I have a plastic sheet on the back always, and halfway on the left is open during the day, and at night I put it up fully (back and left side) to maintain humidity. Awesome! From looking at your enclosure you seem to have a great number of branches. Also...

I am kinda loving your post... First off welcome to the forum. Now let me help you with your questions... Yes reptivite has a higher phosphorus level. This does not mean that using it 2 times a month is going to kill your cham. So they are wrong there. I believe that one of the reasons...

Thank you for taking the time to respond to all my info! What would you recommend for a free range? I’m very paranoid about him falling. I worry about EVERYTHING 😅. We don’t have trees here really that don’t have sap.

Cage Info: Cage Type – Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) I have a reptizoo 24'' x 18'' x 36'' Reptile Terrarium This is a bit smaller than is ideal. The standard minimum is 2x2x4’. I’ve upgraded mine to double sized and after seeing how much my chameleons use all of the space...

Thank you for your insight, I appreciate it a lot! I'll try and see what kind of screen/mesh I could use to wrap up the sides a bit more. I'm not too worried about escaping bugs since I mostly hand feed or place the bugs in a deeper jar with and edge so they can't crawl out. If one day it's...

Just an FYI about why we don’t use spinach, kale and some other dark leafy greens - they contain oxalates, which will bind to calcium and we don’t want to pass that property on to our chameleons. Good greens to give feeders would be dandelion, turnip, mustard, arugula, watercress, endive...

Hi there. Welcome to the forum. So the biggest issue in the way you have the lighting set up is the heat fixture inside. Even with the screen in between. The reason why I am saying this is the UVB then ends up way too far away. With a 5.0 T5HO bulb and fixture you need 8-9 inches to the closest...

I was contemplating on doing this before I decided to make my own closure. It can definitely work and work well depending on the cage. However, here are the reasons why I chose to build my own enclosure instead: -You will absolutely still want a way to enclose the birdcage in mesh. Unless...

Talk to your vet and get them to give you the silver sulfadiazine cream... This is going to be extremely important for her to heal without infection. Basking lamp make sure it is a regular incandescent bulb. not a basking bulb not a focused heat bulb. I would get a plant hanger arm that you...

Has he ever been out before? If so (as the song goes), How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm After They've Seen Paree? I would say that if you've eliminated all the husbandry issues that may cause screen climbing, then he just wants to explore, look for a girlfriend, see what's on the other...

After having some ups and down I will not be moving to Hawaii and am staying in San Diego. Next week I'm moving into a new apartment and bringing my chameleon along. I'm really tempted to get a tamura design enclosure. 48*48*24 I'm going to try to make a poll for acrylic or screen doors. Does...

Thank you, I wasn't 100% sure on that one, I will definitely move it down to the second layer

Free roaming is awesome but screen crawling either inside or outside the cage is not good for chams. One big reason is the chance of pulling out a nail from getting stuck in the screen holes. This is why we try and give them lots of options to climb around inside the cage. As well as some people...

Hi there welcome to the forum... I will go through your husbandry form... Give me a bit of time.

So sorry to hear about your daughter. She is your priorty right now and delays in life are usually fir a reason. One thing i was thinking about with drainage for your plants is have one drain into the one below etc.. Then use a large potted plant without drainage at the bottom to catch the...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Enclosure is 2’x2’x4' high, idk the depth but my arm doesn't reach to the back fully extended. It's full metal frame with screen on all sides. It’s the standard and minimum size needed. Some have concerns about putting small/young chameleons in their full adult-sized...

I have had mine for about a year, and I love it. Like you, I wanted something with a clean look, and I wanted something with a good drainage setup. I have always hated the look of buckets, water tanks, hoses, and electrical lines everywhere. Well, these cages have both. Most of everything fits...

Okay I’ll do that at the moment no. I will place it back in there tomorrow and just feed her something other than crickets
