Has anybody tried using LED retrofits for the T5 plant bulbs in their fixtures? Looks like they should last twice as long and use a little less than half the electricity than a standard T5 bulb which looks promising but I wanted to see if anyone else had tried them yet and what their...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to share some pictures of the new addition to our family, Thor. I've been wanting to get an Orange Eye Parson's for a couple years now and was lucky enough to pick up this little guy from @Garrett. He's around 11 months old now and is from the same clutch as the females...

Just ran across this article and thought it was pretty neat. These little guys never cease to amaze me... http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/chameleons-have-glowinthedark-bones-and-may-be-using-this-to-get-lucky/

Hey guys, So I'm getting ready to get a new cham and have decided I'd try to go bioactive with this next setup. I've read a bunch of threads on here and some other places online and I'm hoping I'm on the right track but I wanted to show you guys what I'm working with in case there's anything I...

Hey Everyone, My Nosy Be isn't doing too good and I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me help him. I spent some time feeding him and my other two chams yesterday and noticed that he's a really pale grayish white color and really skinny/bony looking and most of his crickets from the last...

Hey Everyone, I've seen a few posts of people asking questions about the new Reptisun LED UVB fixtures and while I was at my local reptile shop I saw that they had just got a shipment of them in. They looked pretty sweet so I decided to buy one and give it a try. I already have a couple of...

Hi Everyone, We just picked up this little girl from member CNorton last Thursday and have been dying to share.:) She's a 6 month old Nosy Be that we have named Athena. She's a lot more shy than our other chams so I've been trying to give her plenty of time to adjust to her new home before I...

Hi Everyone, So a few weeks ago my 15 month old Nosy Be, Poseidon, went through a shed and a few days later I noticed that he had some pretty severe scratches on his side. I'm assuming he got them while he was trying to get his old skin off but I'm wondering how normal this is. The scratches...

I made a big batch of wet/moist gut load back in January and am just now starting to run low. All the ingredients came from various threads and blogs on the forum but mainly sandrachameleon's awesome blogs (which everyone should read if you haven't already :)) and I puréed everything together...

Hey Everyone, I was just at Petco last night to pick up some stuff for my new 6 month old panther girl and they had every one of their Reptibreeze cages on sale. They had the small 16x16x20 up through the large 18x18x36 and they were all marked down to the same $49.99 (with their store's club...

So today, while I was at work, my wife heard our Nosy Be Poseidon making some funny noises while she was feeding everyone. We could be wrong but she swears he's hiccuping and it kinda looks like it to me too lol. By the time she grabbed her phone to get it on video she missed all but the last...

Hi Everyone, My wife and I got our first female cham, Aphrodite, back in April. She's a beautiful little ambilobe from Komeleon's Noki and she'll be six months old next week. The problem, well more like a concern, is that it looks like she's gravid already. I thought that this couldn't happen...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the new T5 HO bulbs and fixtures from Zoo Med? There's a local reptile store that has the fixture with a free bulb for under $60 and since the 24" T8 Reptisun that I'm currently running on Poseidon's Reptibreeze is about due to be replaced I...

So I know that you can't keep chams in the same cage because of how territorial they can be and one will dominate the basking spot, food source, etc. What I didn't know, or even think of, is how territorial a cham could be over an area that's not their home/cage... I recently built a small free...

After seeing a few ideas on the forum I thought I would try a few of them out. What I came up with is a free range that anyone can make for less than $40... I picked up a few ceiling plant hanger hooks for $2/ea, some plastic chain for $0.76/foot, a couple of pothos plants for $7.50/ea, and I...

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share some pictures of our newest addition, Aphrodite. She's our first female and we got her from Sang at Komeleons (site sponsor). She's a daughter of Noki and has been growing like a weed lol. When we got her a few weeks ago she was about 2.5 months old and...

My Nosy Be (I think...) just finished another shed and is really starting to show some nice blues. I always love it when you see them starting to shed, it's like Christmas waiting to see what's hiding in the wrapping paper lol. Anywho I was able to get him and my other two panther kids outside...

Hello everyone. I have a small cage (16"x16"x20") for my baby ambilobe, Aphrodite (3 mos), and was trying to find a new UVB bulb and fixture that will fit her cage. I have been using a Reptisun 5.0 CFL type bulb in a compact Zoomed hood, the same set up that I used for my nosy be, Poseidon, when...

Hi everyone, I was able to get some good pictures of my two male panthers this weekend and thought I would share with everyone. We also welcomed a new baby girl this week and a have a few pictures of her to share as well. Anyways, here they are: Here's our male Ambilobe, Loki. He just...

I have a mini-free range in my office/cham room and to help keep the plants alive I bought a 60w spot grow light at Lowes. The other day I noticed my panther, Poseidon, basking in the grow light. The light is maybe twice as far away from where he was perched (compared to the basking spot and...
