Hi y'all, it appears the pump to my MistKing setup has stopped running. Not sure what exactly happened, but it stopped producing mist, and I can't hear the pump humming, meaning either the pump itself has failed, or the perhaps the power adapter got water damage and died? I believe there is a 2...

Hi guys, So I probably havn't been keeping the bottom area of Alby's as clean as it should be. There was definitely some mold in the drainage tray, below the white PVC board. I've attached some pictures of the bugs that I am finding in and around my cham's enclosure. Just curious as to how...

Hi guys, I know this part of the forum is for photography, but thought this was sort of related. My girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I didn't think a camera was quite the right gift for me to get for her. Instead, I thought binoculars would be nice. Do any of you guys have any...

So yesterday I was studying for an exam, and was lucky enough to have one of my brothers take Alby out to soak up some rays. One of my brothers ran inside and exclaimed to me that he had just caught a glimpse of Alby shooting and chewing on a praying mantis! I got up to to make sure all was...

Greetings! I recently applied and was accepted to monitor a couple lemur species in the Kianjavato commune of SE Madagascar. This is a part of the Madagascar Biodiversity Project at the Henry Doorly Zoo. I was hoping to go to some other nearby areas if possible to explore. What would you...

Greetings! Been a while since I've been on here, but I had a quick question. My girlfriend's mom came home with some carrots from the farmer's market, so I was wondering if the stems/leafy part of the corn up top were a safe to add to the gutload mix. Thanks for any feedback and suggestions! Li

My boy Alby seems healthy in most ways, but I have worried that he sometimes displays signs of MBD. His posture is normally erect but when he gets "comfy", he'll sort of lay more and look like this. Any thoughts or comments?

I'm out of town on vacation with my family, so I'm having my lady friend care for Alby. I'm afraid he's gotten a burn as a result of the light fixtures being the only thing source using the houses energy. Anyways,just wanted to confirm that this is a burn. I made sure to tell her to turn on...

Hi guys, happy Monday! Just wanted to make sure these plants were safe. I know rubber plants are not safe generally because of the sap it exudes, but I got it with the hopes that I could use it as a free range option for my guy. I got these plants at a buy one get one sale at a local nursery. I...

Hello fellow forumers! I just had a quick question regarding everybody's favorite topic: poop! I have noticed but have forgotten to get on here and ask. It appears that my chameleon sometimes poops twice in one sitting. I don't normally see it happening because it's already on the bottom of the...

What are you guys' thoughts on what is the best way to find nearby chameleon or reptile owners? I think it would be a great benefit for those who only have one reptile who are wanting to get quality bugs, and for example to buy in bulk and split costs evenly for perhaps 250 or 500 crickets...

so I've never seen this before but after looking it up, it seems that this kind of thing has been observed before. I left my chameleons cage open so he could climb out onto some bamboo sticks and such and he arrived on top of a clothes hamper about 3 feet from the ground. All of a sudden I...

lately when I've been giving more chow to silks I've seen very small, cricket like bugs. Are these crickets? How and why are they appearing in the silkworm bin?

Good afternoon fellow cham owners. This is the scale I picked up at Walmart last night for 20 dollars. Any experience with this? I havnt used it yet, but was wondering if this is good enough or if havig it more precise and read to the tenths place would be better.

I have been trying to bring my guy outside more often so he can get some real sunlight, but there is something I am worrying about. Is it a problem if the temperature changes too dramatically? It is perhaps 90 or so degrees here in Omaha today, and when my guys back inside, there will be a 20...

I went to lowes today and bought a schefflera and organic potting soil to repot the plant with. I rinsed the leaves off well with water (do I need use soap too?), as well as shook off all the old soil that came with the plant. I potted the plant in a clean planter with fresh organic soil...

Hi guys, I have 2 pothos, 1 schefflera, 1 hibiscus and 1 bromeliad that I used to have in my old cages before I learned that my cham had coccidia. I realize these plants and their soil could have been the cause of the parasites. Can i repurpose these plants as plants for outdoor/indoor free...

Hi guys, here is a pic of some of the eggs I got some coastal silkworms. Not sure if you can see but there are many different colors such as light and dark purples. I have had them out towards the top of my cham enclosure around 78-80 degrees or so as they are close to the lights. What do you...

The smallest amount I can get from say, coastal silkworms is 250 eggs. I figure this should probably be enough for my one chameleon. If all of those hatch, I'd say this amount would last a month. I've read that I should probably call in or email to ask for my eggs that I receive to be in...

Hi guys, I am going to be cleaning my chams cage as well as plants tomorrow to rid it of coccidia. I heard of peroxide being used, but what type exactly is best? For the plants, I was going to buy new pothos and ficus or schefflera, clean them up really well with dish soap, rinse them, and repot...
