    Spike 🙂

    Been a while since I posted and had a good opportunity for some pics today so figured I'd say hi 👋🏽 Spike is spicy as always 😂

    Wifi Cameras are a must IMO :)

    They're Blurams cams. They make several of them and I have a few different kind (I use them for my dogs too) but I think the one for this pic is this camera: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR5V77YH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

    A wise older vet gave me insight

    Don't sweat it. Reddit is trash in general. Not even talking about their Chameleon community. Just in general. You're at the right place! 🙂 Any place banning you for sharing the Chameleon academy or these forums are doing you a favor by banning you.

    Help he’s opening up his mouth

    Yep! This is what I use and it's amazing. I double check the temp on it with other sensors, and it's incredibly accurate. It works so well, and allows me to use a higher watt bulb so in the winter months it can sustain the temp that I want it to. Honestly, this is an absolute MUST have for...

    Taming…?

    @Beman's guide is amazing. I won't link it since someone else already did. I just wanted to mention it. I personally couldn't follow it because of my schedule and what not. So, I took what I could from it and while Spike is a bit more of a wild T-rex, I am extremely comfortable being around...

    All I can really say about this is 2 things that I've learned from personal experience. 1) I have a terrible tendency to 'ghost' my crickets, silkworms, etc. When I feed Spike BSFL, I don't even use calcium. I just feed them. However, my point is, if calcium was killing these chameleons...

    Spike says hi!

    Yep that's exactly him lol "season my crickets, load the feeder and be gone!"

    Was feeding Spike some crickets this morning and he decided to bless me with his presence 😍 sort of

    Night time temp

    Do you have air conditioning? I have central air. So during the day I have it set to 73f. Around 11pm it automatically goes to 70f. This setup works to get Spikes enclosure to around 66f. This works for me because his enclosure is right next to a vent that push that cool air. If you...

    Water

    To be honest I use the water from my faucet. However, it's important to realize that everyone's faucet water is NOT created equal. The water in my area is fine. We put a filter on it, but we used it without it just fine. The only reason it has a filter now is because we had a leak that a...

    Poop i havent seen....

    Thank you! I was a little worried. I was thinking this but.... he's NEVER done it before. So it just struck me as odd. It makes sense though. It's been a while since he had them and now he's diving right into them lol I appreciate the clarification.

    Poop i havent seen....

    Well.... I'm assuming. Since the tip of it is clearly a urate IMO. But I really have no idea. I'll keep monitoring him and see if he does it again or if he shows any signs of anything. so far he seems totally fine. I wonder if its just a huge urate because we've had a lot of rain lately...

    Poop i havent seen....

    Never mind the mess. I had a plant spill lol. But yeah Spike pooped this today and the only thing I can think of it's because he just had Silkworms his last couple feedings and he hasn't had them since last year. However, he used to ALWAYS get Silkworms and his poop has never looked like...

    Hello and love to everyone!

    Spike finally got his Silkworms again this morning. Hasn't had them since the fall lol

    Hello and love to everyone!

    Spike says hi! He is wondering when he's gonna get his beloved silkworms again (I haven't had them all winter - spring because they weren't surviving in the new house). I'm gonna order them soon, but other than that he's been great 😂

    Panthers and foliage

    My Spike did some soil munching when he was younger, and I thought it was the WEIRDEST thing lol. But it didn't last. He did it a few times and then honestly he seemed to just grow out of it.

    Too little light?

    There is and there is a possibility this could effect his eyes, I believe. I would personally get some cheap rough shop light bulbs for your heating lamp. You can find them on Amazon, if your local hardware store doesn't have them. I would also add a plant light, and I would replace the...

    Beginner questions

    No problem! I do not use any heat source besides the heating lamp, and the forced air in my house, if it is winter. I personally use the following: -heat lamp -T5 high output light fixture + UVB bulb -T5 high output light fixture + 6400k plant bulb. I bought mine here You do not HAVE to have...

    Beginner questions

    One thing I would HIGHLY suggest you use are these (or similar) outlet timers. These allow you to have everything plugged in (your lights, misting system, fogger if you use one, to be automatically set to turn on and off when you want. This way you're not manually doing everything every day...
