Long story short, I had forgotten to plug the PVC pipe I use to siphon out excess water from my bioactive enclosure, for at least a month or so. I went to finally siphon out the water and hit a very mushy layer in the tube. After a lot of fiddling, I found several decomposed roach carcasses...

Hey all, So....is there anyway to discourage my Veiled from eating the Pothos plants? I know it is safe, but he is picking the vines clean. Every time a new leaf/offshoot pops up, he chows down. I'm actually losing more leaf coverage than I started with despite the vines growing really long...

My new veiled George has been settling in great. But I noticed he seems to be taking bites out of the Pothos plants a lot as of the last two weeks (he doesn't seem to care to eat the Schefflera's). Is too much plant eating a bad thing/sign of an issue? Thanks!

So I'm working on getting my basking temps just right for my Veiled. Right now, with a 75w bulb, the temp in the area of where his body occupies under the bulb is around 88-92 degrees. From advice of members and reading the Chameleon Academy guide, I am trying to get my temps down to around...

I got a starter colony of Canyon Iso's and put them into my Bioactive setup last week (Wednesday I believe). How long does it usually take for them to "take hold" and become a stable CUC? Just checking on feces droppings, I haven't seen any activity of eating or anything of that sort. They have...

Arrived earlier today from FL Chams. He's been exploring, though for some reason he has been walking only on the bottom of the cage (on the soil) for the last two hours. He allowed me to take him out but even after placing him up high he still went to the very bottom. Is that OK?

So my new bioactive setup is complete (well, almost, waiting on the CUC to arrive) and is ready to receive my veiled when he arrives today. The setup is 1" of clay rock, window screen and weed screen, then 5-6" of "homemade" soil consisting of Eco Earth, sponge moss, reptibark, and sand. I have...

Just finished putting together my new setup for a baby veiled I'll be receiving Tuesday from FLChams (from the Naval line, a very vibrant orange sire). Bottom is planted: 1" layer of clay pebbles, screen and weed barrier, then 5" of soil (made up of sponge moss, bark, sand, and eco earth). I...

Stopping by a greenhouse on the way home today and was wondering what the best single plant would be for an 18x24x36 enclosure? I will be decorating the enclosure with fake vines, leaves, and sandblasted branches, but I want the plant (which will be planted in a bio-active soil setup) to be tall...

Just ordered the new UVB lighting for my setup (Arcadia T5 HO 6%, single housing) and now working on the basking lamp. I know 75w Incandescent is the ideal solution...but it seems they are very hard to come by now a days. I can find a few offerings on Amazon but recent reviews say they are not...

So I found someone local with the perfect sized terrarium that they never used but it is a glass/screen mixture. The bottom and 8" high up the sides is all glass (waterproof), with a glass back and then half screen/half glass sides and screen top. I was planning on doing a planted bottom per...

Hey all, So I decided that for my new chameleon adventure, I would like to get a Carpet or Pygmy chameleon, mainly due to using a slightly smaller enclosure due to space issue with my new place. Looking around, however, and it seems carpet or pygmy's are sold out rather quick with the reputable...

Hey all, Been away from the forums for a while. My Panther chameleon died a last Spring 2019 and I took a break from the hobby. But I have now found myself wanting a chameleon friend again. I will be starting from scratch for the enclosure, so I had an idea I was hoping for input on. I am...

So tonight I noticed a black spot on my 18 month Panther, Ares, that hadn't been there before. He is just getting done shedding so I figured maybe he injured some scales. But then I noticed right behind the spot is also a little dark discoloration to his color that looks like maybe he burnt...

Hey all, Putting a list together of supplies to upgrade Ares' (adult Panther) cage. Will be going with a 24x24x48 screen cage, planted with two pothos plants more towards one corner (to create a gradient of heavily planted to lightly planted effect). I am going to get the 24" dual bulb fixture...

Hey all, Ares, my 18 month and 164g Panther, is sick and tired of his cramped 36x18x18 cage and rightfully so. I am in the process of making room for a bigger enclosure and plan to get him what he needs by the end of August (in the middle of an internship and finishing my Master's while...

Both me and my fiancée will be gone for exactly one week out of town. Our Panther, Ares, is a fully grown adult who eats everyday and has a fully automated mister and dripper. He's about as healthy as can be, last weight check was 164g and his hydration is excellent. His mister and dripper can...

Hey all, I am spending the next five weeks at an internship. The good thing is, while I am staying on site at a hotel due to having to be on call, I am only an hour from my house so I can stop home comfortably at least once a week to do cleanings, refilling the mister, etc. In the meantime my...

Hey all, Curious if there is a good flying feeder insect I could put in my Panthers cage every now and then to keep him "entertained"? And is there a good provider where to order said insects? His core staple is dubia roaches with super worms mixed in fed in a cup, so he doesn't get to "hunt"...

Hey all, As my fiancee and I get ready to move into our first house in the fall, we definitely want to put aside money to build a small greenhouse (probably 10x10 or 10x15) that will be properly heated even during the winter months. Our dream is to keep multiple chameleons within the greenhouse...
