I have three exo terra digital thermometers in my viv. I have 2 in the basking spots, one of which is about 33degrees and the other one is around 29 degrees. I sit both of these thermometers directly under each basking lamp wrapped around the branch discreetly with the probe sticking out (then...

Increase venitilation if you can, that will help reduce mould growth.

Depends on your viv set up and whats in it... I have an exo terra 3foot (length), by 2foot (depth) by3 foot (height)... it has lots of live plants and branches for him to climb about on... My lights come on at 0830, heat lights on at 0900 and then my first mist is set for 0930... so it...

I have always kept my crickets/locusts in the plastic tubs they come in from the store and struggle to insert food and water crystals when needed... I should probably upgrade to make life easier for me... I'm after something that's got easy access for feeding the critters... but something...

I use orgasnic compost with great success for my live plants... if your chameleon is a baby or juvenile though dont use substrate. Adults can handle swallowing small ammounts, but still, swallowing none is better than swalling a little bit. I guess its down the personally pref, if you...

Personally if you decide to get a glass enclosure I'd keep eyes on your chameleon for the first couple of days. It may stress out due to being able to see its reflection, if this is the case try covering up the sides of the glass with hanging plants (the ones with suction cups). I hear this...

@ Davonat I bet thats fun with bugs :D

I have just re-read your post. You're talking in inches right? Depending on the size of your chameleon that might be quite a big set up and he/she maybe stuggerling to find his/her food.

I think you mean 100W that's probably to hot for a baby chameleon, baby chameleons cant handle high temperatures as well as adults can. They find it more difficult to control their body temperature. I know veiled chameleons like hot basking spots, but based on the size of your set up I would...

I know people say dont use glass... I have used glass for 4 years and haven't had any issues... he eats fine, poops fine walks around fine... I have a 90cm x 45cm x 90cm exo terra with mesh top, lucky reptile fogger, lucky reptile rain system... branches, vines and real plants and he does...

If you come from the UK http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/arcadia-t5-reptile-lighting/ do good value bulbs and reptile accessories some of the cheapest I have found due to buying in bulk. My set up consists of...

I use RO water for both my misting and rain system (having just recently changed from tap water because I dont like the build up of mineral deposits on the glass), my chameleon drinks from this. My only issue with RO water and im not sure if its even an issue... is it's "pure" water, there are...

Bingo! Thank you. I've ordered :-) hopefully make life easier.

Whats the exact name of the repashy diet you dust with at every feed? Can't find it :-( would appreciate replies :-)

Awesome, I've bought a pack of 60W spot bulbs from my local harware store for when the 75w and 60w sun glo exo terras decide to blow :-) ... in other words about 1 wekk :D

Ill check it out, thanks for the reply. With the size viv I'm using would you recommend using TWO 50/60W bulbs and adjusting the height of the branches until i get the right temperature for the basking spots?... and keep these on all day? ...or keep ONE higher wattage bulb i.e. the 100W...

Oh and I have an adult panther.

Hey all, I havent posted in a long time. Had my chameleon a while now and he's in a 3foot(L) x 2foot(D) x 3foot (H) vivarium at the moment. This contains real plants, branches vines etc with 100% organic compost substrate and a drainage layer. It also has the lucky reptile super rain and super...
