The guy who used to supply crickets to all of the local stores has gone out of business. It's cold outside so shipping from long distances might be a problem. Until I can find a new supplier or breed some myself, I was wondering if it were safe to feed my adult cham a little bit of scrambled...

I have an opportunity to purchase a female peacock chameleon from someone local to me. Before I commit to anything I was wondering if someone could tell me how their husbandry needa differ from a veiled?

You mentioned you have to administer drops of medicine? If he's willing to eat prey items, try putting the drops on the cricket and letting him eat the cricket like he would any other time. That way you won't have to force it into his mouth. If he doesn't eat live prey, try mixing doses that...

Welcome to the forums! I can tell by the pics that you'll have a lot of fun with this project. Unfortunately, like jam said, pet stores - especially big name stores that specialize in dogs and cats, are known to misinform. Sometimes it's just a lack of knowledge or an attempt to get you to...

I don't know where you live, but I'm in southern Ontario, and I'm here to say we have options. Try looking for local reptile stores in your area. If you're around toronto - Reptilia is a must-see! They have everything. I'm closer to Niagara Falls, but I still have many places to go. I'll...

For a baby veiled like yours, a basking spot of mid 90's is high. 88 is fine. The coolest part of the cage should be no lower than 70. If that's the case - you're good. Try not to keep the cage right next to a cold air vent, or the actual unit (I don't know if you have central air or...

Veiled's do ok in lower humidity, as long as they have a dripper. You still want humidity spikes of 50 - 60 percent a few times a day. It helps them shed. You can definitely overdo it though, and I would definitely not keep a fogger on all day... especially if you live somewhere where the...

I tried - didn't work. With those bulbs, it's on or off - no inbetween.

With your misting schedule what it is, it's possible that you're drowning it, although pothos do tend to do well in damp climates. The soil it's in might be giving off the smell - especially if it's constantly wet. Dead crickets give off a bad odor too, so if you let loose crickets roam they...

That'll be awesome. Just make sure everything is waterproof. You don't want to have to pull a part a beautiful looking setup because of mold.

Nice so far! What are you planning for the back wall? I made a pretty cool rok wall pretty easily for my new cage. If you wanna check it out it's here - https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-cage-build-124285/

You have the advantage of a wooden frame where attaching branches and foliage is easy. You need more near the upper half of the cage. No sense in having a cage that tall if your chameleon can't access all of it. The extra foliage will add hiding spots your chameleons need, and will keep...

The shifts I'm on right now for work are 12 hours long, and they alternate between days and nights. But, I just applied for an internal posting that's straight day shift, only 8 - 10 hours a day. I have a good chance, and if I get it, I'll be able to devote more time to my pets, and my home...

If you go to a vet they will be able to prescribe antibiotics to fight any infection. Left untreated it could cause further problems as he tries to shed. It's good that the dead skin is coming off with the sheds, but I would still see a vet.

Good idea, never thought to do that :) My digital cam takes pretty good macro shots, and the pics are like 4000 X 3000 pixels.

I do what Olimpia was saying. I have a shallow tupperware container that I've left in the bin of about 300 chirping crickets, for about 3 days. I've taken the container out, put it into a small cricket container, and have been keeping it moist, and warm. I didn't see any laying in it, but...

I was using one of those, until I got a mistking, and now I have no use for the reptirain. I wish I had spent the extra money initially, I would have actually saved a lot if I did.

I'd go with the painted aluminum screen. You can find it in the window and door section.

Will do! :) I've got aluminum screen covering the soil, and so far none have gotten under it. Think they can still eat them?
