Well I had not been paying attention the past couple of days. I noticed that the bottom half of my screen cage was wetter then usual so I decided to watch my first mist cycle this morning. Low and behold, one of my tubes was spraying me in the face. This kills me since I have to shut down my...

Well I've been away from chams for over a year or so now after having a string of bad luck. Some was my doing and some things were just unfortunate. But anyways I am back in the hobby a little bit more wiser. I've been preparing to jump back in for a while and after being patient I've finally...

I'm looking for a tree around 4-6 feet tall (I can elevate it if need be) to help round out my melleri's 7 foot enclosure. I'm looking for something different from a ficus. Anyone have any ideas?

I was doing a bit of browsing on Melleri Discovery and I stumbled upon a link to this section of the cham forums. As a new melleri keeper, I just wanted to say hi as I will probably be around these parts for a very very long time :D

So I'm working on my Melleri's cage made with PVC piping and 3/4 inch plastic netting. I've got the main part of the cage done and I'm off to Home Depot again to get more netting to finish the door. It measure about 7x3x3. Here's a pic of my progress. I will update with more as soon as I get...

Took a road trip and stopped at LLL Reptile in Escondido to pick up a Melleri. It is my first WC chameleon. It looked pretty good to me except for his bent rostral, which I hear is just common for Melleri that are imported. I estimate it at about a foot long but I'm not 100% sure. I need to...

My female is 7-8 inches total length and weighs 50 grams. Is this a good size for breeding? She's yet to lay an infertile clutch but I have controlled her feeding a bit as suggested to prevent one. She does display receptive colors when I introduced my male to her as well. So what I am...

So I've had my new cham for a week now, taking over ownership from one of our forum members. For the whole week, I did not notice droppings but just as I walked by the cage, I saw two. One looked normal, but another is like 2 inches long including urate! I would post a picture, but it's...

I was watching my new cham this morning and when the mist king came on, he went right into the mist and drank his fill. I've never observed my chams drink this much. After he was full of water, he actually sat in the mist for about 2 minutes longer til it shut off. It was amazing! Here's a...

Since my free range is tucked in a corner, I was wondering if my the plants I have were getting enough light from a mercury vapor bulb. I have a pothos, scheflerra, and a ficus. If not, what are some suggestions?

So I had to do some redecorating and decided to redo my free range setup. I went with all 3 of the normal plants- Ficus, pothos, and scheflerra. I just need to run to the store to get some vines and perches and I think I'll be set. Now with the placement of my MV bulb, do you think my cham...

I picked up this ambilobe male from one of our forum members who lives where I work! He's 1.5 years old and after looking at his fired up pics, I could not resist picking him up. Thanks Gary! And of course, here are the pics- Tried to catch him sleeping to see if he would display some nice...

This guy was tiny when I got him, and now he has outgrown my male ambilobe who is a few months older! Veilder isn't the most colorful guy but at least there is some spots that are showing some promise.

I was trying to pass time before work this morning so I decided to make my own Persona for the first time. It's still under review but I just wanted to share a little preview with you guys.

I just started my colony of dubias. Purchased about 200 mixed with 10 breeding pairs. I decided this morning to try to see if my chams will like them and I have sort of mixed results. First off was Aayla. She is the only one that will hand/tong feed so I tried her out first. Picked one...

This is my official photo thread for my female Ambilobe Aayla. The surgeon general suggest you where some sort of chest protection because she will steal your heart. First pic, but certainly not the last Look at my face! I'm thirsty Do I look fat to you? Hey, let me...

This is my official photo thread of Maul, named after the legendary Sith Lord. He is my first Ambilobe panther chameleon. Enjoy! First night home So green Training to do the dirty Peekaboo! He always liked to be upside down Sleepy time P-Oed! Wet and wild...

Maul has been hanging upside down for a couple of hours now, ever since I let him back in his cage after spending a few hours outside in the sun. Just seems so odd to hang like that for such a long time!

My Aayla is looking really bloated and her colors are pretty drab with the dark patterns so I'm assuming she's gravid now. She is still eating well and hangs out at the top of the cage but she seems to be staring at the flower pot with sand in it. Not sure if that means anything. Haven't seen...

The weather in SoCal is starting to really get nice so I'm finally able to sun my chams. I'm using my first screen cage (18x18x20) as my outdoor cage. I just have driftwood and some fake vines/leaves in it. I need to add more horizontal branches and such but for now, it is serving its purpose...
