I awoke this morning to find Yoshi having some sort of eye problem. He can't seem to open is left eye all the way. It's open ever so slightly, and I know he can slightly see with it since the eye will follow my finger when I move it. But the eye stays mostly closed and I can tell it's bothering...

Today I noticed a small discolored spot on Yoshi's side. I looks like one of his scales is swollen, and the scale it's self looks like it's lost its color. Is this anything to be concerned about? If I had to guess I would say it's a cricket bite but since I've never seen one I really have no...

I thought I would start a tread on showing Yoshi's growth over the last 7 months. I received him from Farrah and Vincent of Screameleons as a 6 month old. His colors have really come and I really couldn't be happier with him. Feel free to add pics of your chameleons growth over the years! :D

I'm considering purchasing a female ambanja to one day to possibly breed with my male Yoshi. Before I get bombarded with replies about the horrors and costs of breeding please know that I have considered the costs, space, knowledge I must acquire, and time needed to successfully breed true...

I've purchased some blue bottle flies and I just have a few questions. I've already done a search and found some great info but still wondering about a few things. Do the flies grow any bigger after the pupae hatch? How long will the unhatched pupae keep in a 38 degree refrigerator? Also any...

Hi everyone, I need to purchase a new UBV bulb for Yoshi's cage. I'm currently using a linear reptisun 5.0 as it seems to be the most successfully used bulb. I would like to purchase a new bulb at a local pet store as opposed to buying online. This way if the bulb burns out right away I can...

Since we are now in winter the drop in temperature and humidity levels has made it necessary for this frankenstine of a setup lol. I purchased an oil radiator space heater and placed it on the warmer side of his cage (his basking spot is in the left back corner of his cage.) Then next to the...

It's now winter where I live so I can't take yoshi out for some natural sunlight. I think the high for yesterday was 20 degrees F :eek: Anyway I know the forum suggests giving calcium w/ D3 twice a month, but he isn't going to have any natural sunlight for at least 4 more months. Should I give...

Recently I've noticed Yoshi's ribs sticking out the sides of his body more and more, and I'm worried he's getting too thin. He's coming up on 11 months old, and I'm aware chameleons usually look a little thin and lanky before they fill out as adults, but he seems still seems too thin to me. He...

Is there anyway to stop the humming from florescent fixtures? I have 2 separate fixtures, one for his uvb bulb, and one for a 6500k bulb.

Your Chameleon - 10 month old panther Handling - 1-2 a week Feeding - dubia roaches, superworms and waxworms Supplements - Repcal calcium with D3 twice a week, herptivite twice a week Watering - misting system on 3, 5 min intervals. I've also trained him to drink from his spray bottle...

Hi everyone I would like to purchase a new hygrometer for Yoshi, but I really don't know what to get. I currently have a zoo med "precision" analog gauge, and would like to upgrade to something with a digital readout. Any suggestions? Chris

Hi everyone! I've recently set up a dubia colony due to Yoshi giving up on crickets and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I have a large black rubbermaid storage bin with a heat pad reaching 90 degrees F under one side with clean egg flats over it (no substrate). I use Josh's Frogs...

Hi everyone I just had a question about my thermostat. I'm currently using a reptitemp 500r and the only problem I'm having with it is that it turns the basking light off when it gets too hot. I bought the 500r thinking it would adjust the temperature by dimming the light, not just turning it on...

Hey everyone, just wanted to post some pics of my new enclosure for Yoshi. He is my first chameleon, so any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated. He's a 9 month old male Ambanja measuring at about 13 inches. I'm still in the process of purchasing a scale to monitor his weight. As...
