I just got a new fixture for my baby tortoises. It's a zilla slimline fixture with a repti sun 10.0 in it. I've seen nasty threads on here about zilla and I wanted to know what's up with that? Is it the fixture or bulb everyone is dissing?

I posted a thread under the health section about a week ago because Echo was dull and grey. Well that is no more Echo is finally showing his true beauty! I can't wait until his mature colors finally start coming in.

I let Echo out on his free range today and first thing he did was climb up to the window in my room and watch the snow fall. He sat there for a good hour or so before he decided to crawl back to his basking spot, then it was back to th window to watch the snow some more. Sorry about the lighting...

I know a lot of members on this forum are people that have recently gotten their first chameleon, and a lot have had chameleons for years. The weather hitting the east coast right now has inspired me to create this post to help those with new chameleons be prepared for the cold weather and power...

A recent thread that I posted someone made the comment maybe it's a girl. I just need reassurance. He is 3 months old and he has the extra little bump on his back feet.

I warmed Up some water and put it in my little mist bottle, checked it on my wrist to make sure it was warm and sprayed away (I was careful not to get it in his eyes). His humidity was a little low today and his shedding finally started to "blister"/come off in areas. I decided to give him the...

I used to have a jacksons chameleon and she loved attention. I had her in a extra large reptibreeze that had vines attached to plants and ropes all over the room. Whenever I was home the cage door was always open and she was allowed to roam the room. Whenever I was at my computer desk she would...

I give my chameleon about 15-20 crickets or roach nymphs daily dusted in reptical without d3, suppliment with a d3 suppliment the first week of every month, and herpi-vite the last week of the month. He is in an extra large reptibreeze with a dripper system going at about one drop per every 5-6...

My veiled chameleon has been very dull ever since I got him about 2 weeks ago. Is this the first sign of shedding or is it a health issue? He is very active and frequently drinks from his dripper system he also eats about 15-20 medium crickets daily with a calcium without d3. He is supposed to...

I recently upgraded my enclosure to a very spacious 36x36x60 and it is a complete mesh cage and I was wondering how do I go about setting up my dripper system on top? Do u cut a hole for the tube to go through or what?

Bought a 10 oz container of calcium with no d3 that will more than likely last my entire life lol it's huge! And I have herp-vite as well as a suppliment with d3. I have a schedule that the breeder has given me; suppliment with calcium with d3 the once the first week every month then a...

My new veiled chameleon has a little black dot right in the center of his head. It's not a mite, I can easily distinguish mites from skin. It's a little blackish grey spot. What is this? He also has black marks outlining the yellow when he gets angry, but this isn't like this. I've had him for...

I just got my little male veiled today and I am super happy to have the little one around! Gave him some water as soon as he got here and offered food but he doesn't want any. He looks like he is about to go into shed as well. When will he start eating for me? I know he's stressed from the...

I know veiled chameleons regularly munch on live plants in their enclosure (I have 2 ficus trees and one hibiscus) What are some good greens I can give him along with what he munches on? Also is some fruit acceptable? Papayas, mangos, banana, etc? Can I give him greens on a regular basis? If so...

I've seen tons of care sheets and care books saying d3 once a week, plain calcium the rest. Why is this? Yes the animal is getting adequate UVB exposure, but would the little extra harm my chameleon? I use calcium with d3 for all my animals regularly including my sulcata tortoises that stay...

I want to make a couple perches from branches off the trees around my house. Problem is I don't know what kind of trees they are :confused: can I clean them off and let them dry out for a week or two before use? I know they're not pine, cedar, or any aromatic wood.

I'm getting a veiled chameleon and he's about 6.5 inches already. I know they like crickets, wax worms, meal worms, fruit flies, and a handful of other things. I have calcium powder and mineral powder already and I have tons of greens such as romane, turnip greens,red leaf, green leaf, mustard...
