Warning of a PETSMART BULB NOT petco bulb I am passing this on per request of a member of the tortoise forum I belong too. This bulb [All Living Things Neodymium Basking bulb 100 watts.] Purchased only at Petsmart, blew up twice, in a short period of time. The first time it blew up all over...

My veiled turned 1 in February. It seems he is shedding all the time. He just got over a shed about two weeks ago and is now shedding again. What would make him shed so often or is this much shedding normal? Thanks Barb

Here is my question. My male veiled has a large cage. I have two red eyed tree frogs in a terrarium. The back is covered and half of both sides. The front has the doors. I put the frogs cage on a stool inside the Veiled cage. I have the frogs light protected from my veiled burning himself...

This may have already been posted. However, I don't think it can be post to many times. These problems are still happening to all reptiles and chelonians. http://www.uvguide.co.uk/index.htm

Has anyone seen the kool commercial for valspar paint? It features two panther chameleons. Soooo kool. It was one of the commercials during the "All-Star Apprentice" show. Gotta check it out.

Just wanted to put out a BIG THANK YOU to forum member Seiryu Was nice enough to send me a smaller amount of Dubia Roaches, then most will sell, so i could try them to make sure my cham would eat them, before invading my home with them LOL. Great person to deal with, fast shipping, great...

I am looking for a place to buy like 10 dubia roaches. I don't want a large amount for my first time trying them. I live in and own an apartment building. I can't have a large amount if my Cham wont eat them. Hard to rent an apartment if they think you have roaches. :eek: Does anyone know of...

I have a 24x24x6 foot tall enclosure. The inside is a 6 foot fake ficus tree and a real pothos plant. How do you clean off the leaves of the tree? It is pretty full with branches and leaves. I can't see any poop on them, but I'm sure there is. Also, what about the poop that may have fallen...

I just got to pet my Cham without gloves, ya. Anyway, he was on my arm, sitting hunched like they do. When I was running my fingers down the sides, from head to tail I could feel his ribs. Is this normal? I can't see his ribs. I'm concerned because he hasn't eaten much. He's been shedding and...

I have some really big horn worms. My chameleon didn't go for them as much as I thought he would. Can he still eat them or would they be too large. He is a male veiled 1 yr. old in February. The worms are almost or are full grown. What can I do with them if he can't eat them? Thanks

I posted about a week ago about my Cham and heat. I changed things and got the heat corrected. Now, my question is. When my Cham is basking. Should the top of his back or the casque be the hottest spot? My chams back is mid 80's but the top of his casque is 100. He doesn't sit with his mouth...

Okay, I bought a pair of feeding tongs, metal, for feeding reptiles. They suck! The worms can wiggle out of them and the crickets, well I can pick them up and just as quickly they are out of them. Is it me or are there better feeding tongs out there? I have lost two crickets and geez, I...

Switched the light bulb out for a lower wattage. He has only sat with his mouth open once and that was right under the basking bulb. However, now the cage seems to cool. Basking is around 80-85, depending on where you shoot the temp gun, but the rest is low 70's and as you move down the...

My 11 month male veiled Cham sits in front of the 5.0 UVB bulb with his mouth open. Not gasping, not opened all the way, no drooling, no discharge, no noises. Humidity is 50-70 lower at night. Temps, 65 on up to 85 and basking 95-100. Does not look dehydrated. Eats good, crickets, horned worms...

My male 11 month old veiled is in a 2x2x6 foot cage. This is where he will stay, until he has been with me for some time. Then I will open it for some free ranging. The top of his cage has a basking bulb and a UVB 5.0 light. There is a 6 foot fake tree, some fake leafed vines and a climbing...

Morning about an half hour to an hour after lights on, or early afternoon? I feed my other lizard, a Uro and my tortoise in the am so they can eat all day, if they don't eat it all at once. Should I do the same for my veiled? Thanks

My big beautiful male veiled I got from forum member KellysChameleons has arrived safe and sound. Thank you so much Kelly, he is perfect. Can't wait for him to get settled and comfortable. He was ready to come out of the shipping bag and did not hesitate getting on my hand. I had his cage...

I just looked at a members new enclosure he built for the veiled he's getting. He built it on top of a drainage tub, it looks really nice. i was just wondering, is there that much water run off that a drain is needed? I just built my cage and I have no drain, just plastic lined bottom.

I want to make the milk jug feeder. I don't have a glue gun and don't really want to buy one. Is there any other type of glue I can use to secure the screen to the inside of the jug? Or if there is any other ways other then glue to secure it. Thanks.

I have no experience in this. I have always bought live food from petco:( So I might want to try this time in raisng my own. What are the easiest, healthiest (for Cham) and how much room do you have to have to do it? Is it easy or very hard? What kind of containers do you use? I only will have...
