So it has been a while since I posted, been going through some things. But anyway I have a story. So going through rough divorce and was unable to give regular care to my remaining 3 females. Wife did not care and did not secure there cages. By some time in April all had escaped, I was not...

Well it’s pretty much like it sounds like. I am going to be traveling and living full time in an RV. I have not moved them yet as I need some time to find out how the temperature and humidity run. So far temperature is good but definitely need to stay stocked on propane though. It has 2...

I have some great deals to offer. Due to unforeseen circumstances I need to find homes for 5 veiled chameleons. there 3 females and 2 males. I also have 5 brand new 24in UVB fixtures w/ 6% Arcadia bulbs. I have one new in box Zoo Med XL 24x24x48. I was planning on going to the reptile...

I have posed this question before in reference to nutritional value. Do different roaches have different nutritional values? The conclusion was a bit unclear. However in further findings I am seeing differences that could matter and suggest possible differences at least in trace elements. I...

They say bigger is better for cages. Well I may be going too far. I have not trimmed plants and only expand the living area. It is now about 20 square feet surface area and 5 feet or so vertical.

That is not his cage. It is a Poecilotheria Ornata, an arboreal tarantula

So I was trying to figure out what these spots are. Any guess lol.

I love this guys colors. It doesn’t show as well on camera but all his colors are muted almost pastel. When he lights up there is more yellow than I have seen in a veiled.

I have been keeping my female on a schedule of about 3 small dubia nymph ( 3lg cricket) sized meals three times a week, with max basking at 80f ambient max of 74f for over a year now. She is about 2 1/2 to 3 years old. Her first clutches were in the 50s+ and were becoming regular at about 3...

Right off I want to differentiate. Open Enclosure = cage with no physical walls, but the animal is confined to that area. Free Range = I let my guy go where he wants, like a puppy. Also = BAD. Well my open enclosure has not been as good at restraining. He can get to my desk and will come and...

This is just an odd one, but I have noticed when I am using supplaments to dust, I treat it like some highly volatile substance that could blow up. LOL I think it comes from my constant concern of not too much and not too little. Does any one else do this? I don't do it consciously but family...

I have been watching for my female to come into receptive colors. She has been kept cooler and moderate food and laid he last clutch of 30 in September 2020. So 10 months. Because of where I live the temp rises in the summer, so I was hoping for it to work out timing wise where she will only...

This is something I have been looking into more and more. How is it with such well prescribed and documented care, why are there so many D3 issues? I think there might be a couple factors that play into this. One is technology, we now have better UV lights and if set up correct we may not even...

Well I am not done but I am liking the way this rack is coming together. Each enclosure is 24x24x36 and is bio-active. Lights,Fog, mist, UV all on timers. It is on wheels so it moves easy. I can open my garage on nice days and they get lots of natural light. Not UVB though they still have bulbs...

Finally got my rack set up so I can wheel them out for some sun on nice days. I still have upgrades to do but I am liking it so far. 24x24x36 cages are working great for juveniles.

So I am changing some things around and I decided to just give my guy "trees" Those branches you see are floor to celling. UVI is from 4 (if he pushes it) to 1 down into the plant layer. I have a directional fogger, and a bottom tray but I think the water hazard is going to be the issue lol.

In response to some requests here is how I set up my fogging mist reservoir. It is actually quite simple and effective. saves space and only one thing to clean that rinses right out easily. Sorry if it is choppy I tried to get it done quick. Parts: Fogger $40...

I want honest opinions. I am going to be offering these Bio-Pots. They are fabric pots that are lined with 20mil clear linoleum. They are 2ft diameter and fit in the standard 2x2 cages. The linoleum creates a barrier keeping your CuC where you want them. The linoleum connects with Velcro for...

A special thanks to all of the forum members whose enclosures have been featured in our “Inspirational Enclosure Picture Archive” on the CaskAbove.com website. We hope that this collection will continue to grow and inspire chameleon keepers around the world. Words cannot express our gratitude...

We had a major ice storm. Power is out for 2 days, likely another 4 more. Chameleons steady at 55 to 60 degrees for two days. Staying in sleeping . I always say don’t worry about the cold, so it’s time to listen to my self. Had to bring bugs in by the fireplace. We will see how well they...
