Thats what I do.

I noticed Louie started shedding this morning and by the time I got home the bottom of the cage was full of skin and he looked liked he was done shedding. Is that normal to shed that fast or is he too dry. Also I only have one real plant in my cage the rest are artificial. Is too many...

Thanks Jordan. Your dead on about the light. That is the one I got but I removed the clear cover as its says to do if your using a uvb light. The light is sitting on top of the aluminum screen. Is that blocking the UVB? It does have mounts so I can mount it inside the cage.

First I want to thank you for all the help thus far with our new pet. Everyone here is very friendly and Im glad to have stumbled across this site. With all that being said I have run into a couple more questions.:confused: 1. I just bought a UVB light and its 7% is that enough/too much...

Ok I fed him in the morning today and he didnt turn dark. Its just at night he turns dark all night long. He is very dark too all night. Is this normal?

Thanks for the help guys. I will take louie out once/twice a week for about 15 minutes. He was held everyday by his breeder(the petshop owner) and really doesnt seem to mind being held at all. No hissing, no opening his mouth, he poses for the camera and loves just sitting on your shoulder. He...

Like I said he doesnt mind the camera or me at all. I droped in 2 crickets and hit record with only about 20 seconds of record time and thats all it took...TWICE. Louies first show .

mine doesnt mind the camera at all. I can put it right in his face and snap a pic and he doesnt move. Its like hes almost posing for the camera. I just watched that video. My chameleon never does that hissing sound. EVER. He does a quiet murmer that almost sounds like a baby talking. I could...

Thanks for the tips. The pet shop is a small locally owned pet shop. Real nice people. I have him on store drinking water. He has a basking light and a daytime light and a night red light but I only have one lamp(getting another this weekend). None of these say uvb so Ill be buying...

Very nice. I keep hearing its not good to hold the chameleons. Then I see all these pictures in the gallery of people holding thiers. I want to take him out to get him use to me so I can hold him a few times a week. Is it a good idea to let him get use to his new home for a while so hes more...

Thanks alot for the help. I have one more question....for now. When I feed him 5 crickets he eats them all real fast then I give him 5 more and same thing. Then I stop but Im afraid hes still hungry. Do I keep throwing crickets in till he decides hes full or can they overeat and hurt...

Thanks, I searched and searched and couldnt find results. Also this is a silly question. When he poops its like 4 giant rat tirds and a pile of white stuff like bird poop. Is that normal poop?

My chameleon is green all day then evening time when we feed him Ill throw like 5-10 crickets and he hunts them all right away till there gone then he turns real dark. I only ask because I read dark means they are stressed. Is this normal or are we stressing him out by watching him, we sit about...

Sorry I wasnt too clear. The pic where hes behind the glass is from when we first got him. The cage he is in now is screen. I did read after bringing him home about the water bowl but he liked to stand on it and dip his feet and belly in it. I set him up a drip system and he likes to sit under...

One more question. It seems everytime louie eats he turns really dark. Is this normal? thanks in advance

Im new to this site and new to chameleons. I bought louie friday and knew by that night that the aqarium the pet shop guy sold was not pleasing to louie. So I went to my shop and got a box of solid red oak flooring and built louie a cage. He seems to be happier now. Hes eating alot and stays a...
