I've been seeing a lot of content lately about chams getting their tongue stuck to things and potentially needing amputation. I'd really like to add these props to an enclosure because I feel like they would give a unique aesthetic and things for the cham to climb on but I need to know: would...

I saw this chameleon in a YouTube video and I'm really curious what locale it is cause it looks awesome! Sorry the picture isn't great, it was the best screen cap I could get.

I'm thinking of building a "cover" out of wood to hide the lights on my enclosure. The only thing I'm worried about is the cover of the heat lamp getting hot enough to ignite it even from a few inches away. Thoughts? (The cover would only go around the front and sides of the enclosure it'll...

Trying to think of ways to optimize the space in a bioactive enclosure. In trying to maximize the amount of green it occurred to me to add moss to the substrate. Is this a viable option?

Potentially dumb question: I'm currently building a stand/storage area for an enclosure. I've heard some feeders keep better in a fridge. Would it be a bad idea to install a mini fridge under my enclosure?

I'm currently planning and designing a bioactive enclosure and I had some questions about plants. 1) on pretty much every "approved plants" list I've noticed that they are almost exclusively green leafy plants with very few other colors and almost no flowers. Is there a reason for this? 2)...

Accidentally left a tin of Superworms in my car last night and I'm pretty sure they all froze. My question is, what're the chances they just hibernated as opposed to actually died? Is there any salvaging this tin or should I just buy a new one?

As I'm preparing to order Kronin a new cage, I've been putting much more thought into the design. In my research I've come across the term "bioactive" a lot. Can someone explain to me exactly what that means and how it's executed? I've heard it helps cut down on mold and mildew. How and why is...

Hey folks! So a while back I had trouble with my plant. Long story short, I recently bought a grow light to help it recover. When I turned it on, I noticed half the bulbs are red and i can't remember: are certain color lights bad for my chameleon's eyes? I've attached pics of the light (sorry...

I feel like I haven't shared any positive updates lately so here ya go! Sir Kronin is really coming into his own!

I've seen a lot of people keep their feeders in large totes with screen tops. I've been debating doing the same but my only question is how do you retrieve them when it's time to feed? I feel like just pulling off the whole lid is setting myself up for all the feeders trying to escape...

I've been noticing that Kronin is not usually displaying his full pallet of colors normally and I'm just curious why. I know they only "flare up" as an emotional response to various stimuli but I've seen pics of chams of similar age showing far more color. Just wanna make sure it's not cause of...

So I'm pretty sure Sir Kronin is just in a perpetually pissed off mood and I'm not quite sure why. For a long time I only got him to eat crickets but he's recently taken a liking to supers, I hand mist him twice a day with it spiking up to 80%, and his basking spot is 85-90°. Even with all that...

I recently started using the rain nozzle on my mistking and ever since then I've only achieved 40-50% static humidity with spikes up to 60-65%. It's set to run at 9a, 11a, & 1p for 10 minutes and 3p, 5p, and 7p for 5 minutes. I also have 3 sides of my enclosure wrapped in shower curtain. I was...

I'm planning on building an enclosure where I want to do the bottom half mesh, the top half glass. Would plexiglass stand up to my chameleon's claws (and not scratch) or do I need to use natural glass?

So for those of you who have seen my previous posts, I know it took me a long time to get this thing properly set up but now I have a new problem. I accidentally ran it dry the other day after over a week of it misting exactly how it was supposed to. I've read that they're designed to not be...

Watching their color develop! :--

I've had my mistking system fully set up for a couple of days now but I'm having trouble getting it to work right. On the normal screen I see the current time, the setting of the pump (currently on auto), and a timer that's counting down (don't know what this is, if anyone has an answer). It's...

Possibly a dumb question but is there a rule of thumb to how wide a chameleons climbables need to be?

I'm planning a diy enclosure for Kronin and just wondering if this grow light will work for his UV needs as well https://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electric-2-ft-2-Light-19-Watt-White-LED-Full-Spectrum-Linkable-Grow-Light-GLP24FS-19W-LED/302049784
