I knew it was coming with the passing heat wave here in San Diego. An army of black ants, has invaded both Mr. Echo's and Mr. T's homes. I removed all the poops and whatever else was in the VV, I knew I could not use any insecticides so I made a home brew of tabasco sauce, jalapeño juice and a...

It was pretty much 90 degrees today in the room where I keep my panther and jackson. I decided to turn off the basking lamp. Was this the right thing to.do? I keep the mister working double time. Ted

What is the best artificial plant to hold water? Mostly the water just beads and rolls of plastic plants. What are the best choices to hold water for the longest time so the Cham has a chance to drink before the water drops roll off to the floor of the VV.

you can't make them drink!! or can you?? Will a Cham just ignore dripping water until he dies of dehydration? As of late both my Jacksons and Panther have produced slightly orange urates? I drip daily for about an hour as well as have an auto misting system that goes on 4 times daily for...

Lazy adult Panther sleeping during day? I am not even sure I have a problem, other then I have read they should not sleep during the day? Mr. T has not been a roamer, he just kind of likes to hang out, moves a bit, otherwise is not in a hurry to get anywhere? Chameleon- Panther adult male...

Mr. T (Panther) and Mr. Echo (Jacksons) are both finishing up a shed, they both started to shed before I got them. I have had Mr. Echo for about 5 weeks and Mr. T about 3. How long does it usually take for a complete shed start to finish? Can anyone give a guesstimate on the age of each...

I acquired Mr. T about 5 days ago. The previous owner had some husbandry that I was not sure of. First he just dumped a lot of crickets into the VV and let Mr. T free range, so he had no idea how much Mr. T was eating. When I say a lot I mean 100 or so. Secondly he never saw Mr. T drink, well...

A buddy gave me one of these units as I adopted his Panther. I hooked up the unit and read the online instructions. I set the unit to go off every hour for 60 seconds. The unit comes on as it should but will squirt maybe two times for 30 or 40 seconds. Is this how the unit works? I figured...

Well for not having any chameleons in my life, I sure did jump in with both feet. A co-worker got a job out of state and needed to find a new home for his buddy. He heard I had a Jacksons and asked if I would adopt his friend. I was hesitant at first but after meeting Mr. T and seeing his...

In a set up like the one below, how do you support the branches? I don' think the screen is strong enough? thx Ted

given the two different environmental needs, to keep a Jacksons and a Panther in the same room in two different screened VV side by side in the same room. Yes they would have a partition so they could not see each other? thx diego

Mr. Echo is about 9mo to a year old. I got him about two weeks ago from Petsmart. He is in a 3’ long by 2’ wide by 3’ high screened VV. He does not eat a lot, generally he eats 5 or 6 gut loaded, and calcium dusted med crickets or 3-4 Super worms every other day. He drinks a bit not a lot...

I have had Mr. Echo for about a week, I believe him to be about 9 months old. I feed him every other day. I feed him crickets; however, I am not able to stay and watch him eat. I feed him in the morning after the lights have been on for about ½ hour. I have been taking the hind legs off the...

What is the best way to feed a chameleon mealworms? I made a tray out of a silk leaf which has rolled edges, but the worms just crawl off before Mr. Echo sees them? I have seen the cup with holes but I figure they will just drop out? Any suggestions? Thx Diego
