The smalls at the reptile store are near as big as the space between his eyes, if you are including legs then they are most definitely wider. some were what I would consider almost larges. What are pinheads? Are those really tiny crickets? Breeder said he was feeding 1/4 to 1/2 size crickets I...
OK so he is only eating flies. That is literally all he will eat if I put him outside he gobbles them down. I am buying small crickets at the store and small mealworms but he is only eating flies? is the other food too large?
Olivia, I don't have that store near me but I will look for some vines.
This is my only question.. I once had a lot of plants in there like a large hibiscus plus the plant that is in there now with plenty of sticks, it was very dense it was hard to find him. And he still was not eating so I...
The reason i bought the Reptisun is because I read that was the only one that anyone should buy for a cham. My husband actually came home with the Acadia you mentioned, but I took it back b/c I read you must have that UVB style bulb. Everything for chams is so contradictory it gets to be...
Okay, so maybe put the 60w back in there? Or look for a 50w if they make those?
I had a hibiscus plant in there that is pretty large, I took it out becasue my husband and I thought that was the issue after seeing many other cham cages that were really simple with only one plant and a lot of...

Thank you both! I guess I will make mine larger. I thought it would scare him. I will try the half gallon milk bottles that are long and skinny and put it near his basking spot. i have seen that on photos before. He can see them in the cup but I think he was too scared to go over there, he...
I posted in a different section about worrying about my cham maybe not eating enough with free range feeding after finding several dead crickets while cleaning out his cage and was told cup feeding may be the best option. I have a plastic disposable cup in his cage, exactly like one i found a...
Thank you! He will eventually learn to go to the cup to get worms? i read something about cup training and having to starve the cham for which he must be six months to do. Obviously mine is too young but I'm not wanting to starve an animal. You didn't have to "cup train" this way to get him to...
I have a new 3 month old chameleon. He has 2 live plants with vines for climbing in his cage. i'm just not sure he is eating enough because I feel like when I put crickets/worms in his cage they fall down. Today I found several dead at the bottom while cleaning out his cage. I just want to be...
