i always do my best to get captive bread. here in the uk we are quiet lucky as we get alot from breaders all around europe.
there is a good show in HAMM (germany) and we can get most captive bread species at good prices.
yeah it is strange, i think that is why they try and get into hard to reach places at night like the end of branches high up trees, with no birds around at night it is safer than near the trunk of the tree...
chams are pretty good escape artists though, they will just drop through the...
i think it is best to not wake any sleeping animal myself, as far as they know you waking them could be a predator about to strike.
chams are pretty nervy reps at the best of times and i find they are scared and stressed very easily.
im not desputing the fact that they need good hydration, my point was more that a constant high level of humidity (over 40%) will lead to respratory problems in the future. i am aware that it rises when you mist, but it should drop back as quick as possible....
i agree yemens are found in the...
you should be carefull on the amonut of mistting you do as high humidity can cause respitory problems in chams such as vields, remember they are from a very hot dry place and do best with a humidity around 40%....
not to sure though on how quick your enclosures dry out in the states, so you...

i have not come to this forum to try and cause trouble or fall out with anyone, i just want to have good descutions about subjects that i think...
i think people are seeing this the wrong way, i started a discution and it was fine untill a member had a pop at me, as soon as i take a dig back it is me in the wrong which i see as unfair. why should i have to take digs?
people are talking as if everyone is doing me a favour, when infact...
sorry for the comments, how ever they were not directed at you and some of the responses i have had have offended me. i see it unfair to delete my posts still leaving the ones that offended me in the first place...
i would like to know what i have said that is so rude please?
have no problem with debates, we can all learn from a good discution.
unfortunatly we may all have to except we are doing something wrong from time to time, but how will we know if we are doing something wrong without threads like theese. i am not saying that any one is doing wrong, i just...

good link, i think we still have a long way to go before we realy know the full extent of chameleons and there husbandary....
i personaly feel that unless we do a combination af all 4 we are not keeping the animals right or for the correct reason.
i think that an unnatural environment, can lead to stress and helth problems, thus taking the lifespan down... surely things such as lighting, heat, food all come under...
wow thanks for all the interesting responses, how ever it seems to me that it is more the american way to not use substrate than a general rule... i have 2 close friends here in the uk, 1 with 12 chams and 1 with over 50! they have substrate on all there chams and have had no problems....
my...
to an extent, it is more of a controlled descent than a glide. thay can adjust there position in the air but cant go up then down... it helps so they can land directly on the prey and get from branch to branch with great accuracy...
hi i was just wondering why so many people have an issue with substrates being used...
i have repti bark in mine and there is a natural substrate in the wild. i know chams are higher up in the wild but my cham does not go to ground to feed as i feed hoppers that climb before he has chance to...
