    Jacksonii or Mt. Meru

    There is almost no way for there to be a mix-up between these subspecies in exportation. Not because they don't look similar - they can! But, because Mt. Meru Jackson's come from a high mountain top in Tanzania that is a great effort to go to and Tanzania has been closed to exports for nine...

    are coil uvb bulbs that bad ?

    It is important that we identify which CFL you are talking about. Most of the time, in the chameleon community, when we say "coil" we are referring to the ZooMed 13W 5.0 that comes with the chameleon kit. We don't like this one because it is effective only a few inches in front of the bulb. We...

    are coil uvb bulbs that bad ?

    Coil UVB bulbs (CFLs) are shunned because the most common ones are too weak to get the desired UVB levels far enough into the cage to be useful for an adult chameleon. Ironically, some of the more powerful CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights) are actually not healthy because they are way too...

    Got my enclosure, LF panther Chams

    They don't seem to have any available right now. I do not know their future plans, but they used to offer these.

    Tiny Dragons: The Art of Hatchling Chameleon Care

    Many people do. Throughout the book I encourage purchasing a well started juvenile from a reputable breeder for anyone who may be reading the book trying to make a decision, but so many people start their journey into the chameleon community because they already purchased an egg. And this book...

    Tiny Dragons: The Art of Hatchling Chameleon Care

    Which is kind of funny because if I had started with the intention of writing a book it would have been overwhelming and I probably wouldn't have done it! Putting together a book is A LOT of work! So, being led step by step really worked to my favor on this. Besides, this audience is a very...

    Tiny Dragons: The Art of Hatchling Chameleon Care

    This one kind of snuck up on me. It was supposed to be a 14 page e-booklet to help people who purchased an egg...and then it got bigger because I needed to include incubation and feeding and such...and then the people who saw it said it needed to be in print (oh, twist my arm). Well, if it is...

    Tiny Dragons: The Art of Hatchling Chameleon Care

    Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know I just published my first book and it is now available in the wild. The book is Tiny Dragons: The Art of Hatchling Chameleon Care and it is focused directly on the short period of life between incubation to hatching through about 4 months old. This is the...

    What Is Your North Star in Chameleon Husbandry? How Defining Your Guiding Principle Can Clarify the Chaos of Online Advice When it comes to keeping chameleons, I’ve found the hardest part isn’t the UVB bulb or the misting schedule. It’s the conflicting opinions. For every question you ask, the...

    Got my enclosure, LF panther Chams

    Mixing purebred dogs and cats can produce healthier offspring because purebred dogs and cats represent an artificially reduced genetic pool due to our selective breeding. Wild panther chameleon populations have diverse genetics so mixing locales is not going to give you the same vigor advantage...

    Question about the Dragon Strand Enclosures

    Combining the Tall Hybrids would be a bit difficult due to the latching mechanisms. The Tall hybrid uses a latch/leeper system where the keeper (the thing that holds the latch) is on the side of the cage. Therefore, you can't just push the sides together in any simple manner. Of course, there...

    Help replacing plastic plants 😳

    The transition will not be a traumatic event for her. You can do it as soon as you are ready. Some crazy people put hatchlings in adult size cages and they do great. Your girl will have no problem at all.

    Help replacing plastic plants 😳

    Whoops, I apologize as I assumed you had the standard Chameleon Kit. It sounds like you got the deluxe version. You have much more time with the 18”x18”x36” cage and that 5.0 T5 linear UVB is effective. Just make sure her basking area is to where her back can be 6” away from the bulb. You will...

    Help replacing plastic plants 😳

    You have an attention to detail that will serve your chameleon well! Though, there are two issues that will become serious things very soon. The Chameleon Kit is going to be a problem for your girl. 1) Size: Veiled Chameleons grow ridiculously fast and she will out grow the Chameleon Kit cage...

    The Five Commandments of Chameleon Hatchling Care

    Do you mean the approach of using the adult size cage for a single hatchling? I actually talked about it on the workshop last Saturday and brought on @SteveH who raised two Calumma brevicorne hatchlings individually in adult size cages. If that is the approach you mean, you can read, listen, and...
