    Joyce has pinworms

    Well, Joyce kindly left me a fresh fecal sample on her schefflera tree this morning, so I took it over to the vet to get checked, and they say she has pinworms. :( Poor girl, no wonder she is always hungry! Unfortunately, they called me back with the results after they had already closed, and...

    Any red eye tree frog breeders?

    I have had a single red eye tree frog (Fyog) for about a year, living in a huge terrarium in my office. I recently decided to give him a couple of pals, and bought two more (Bjorn and Greenie. I work with kids, and let them name the frogs.:)) Last night I was at the office really late for a...

    Joyce still pigging out

    I've been reading through past posts and the "Kitty the veiled" website, and am not sure on one diet question. Joyce is estimated to be 5-6 months old right now, and since I moved her to her new cage a week ago she has been eating at least twice as much as she was before. I want to make sure I...

    dead silkworms?

    Well, I ordered silkworms from a private party and am not sure they shipped well. Today I received a grat big stinky ball of frass with worms embedded in it, and have spent the past hour trying to extract the worms from the sticky ball. I now have maybe a dozen moving worms, and a pile of...

    New cage, HOORAY!!

    I am soooooo happy to bid goodbye to the rigged up ferret cage! That velcro door was NOT holding up to the misting, and the daily repairs were driving me nuts!! I have to say, these aluminum and screen cages from LLL are GREAT, very easy to put together and the 24x24x36 size I ordered works...

    Joyce learning to get along with me AND my camera!

    A little milestone here, Joyce stepped right onto my hand tonight and did not get upset, turn black, or hiss at the camera when I took pictures of her. A first for all! :p

    What is the best way to make a drainage system?

    I'm seeing that I will need to put a drainage system in Joyce's cage, as even with the cham safe absorbant eco-bedding in the bottom and the big schefflera tree to absorb water from the drip system and hand misting, her cage bottom does not dry out overnight. She should only be in the converted...

    Joyce suddenly not eating

    Being a worried new cham mommy, I want to be sure I am doing right here. Joyce was eating very well for the first several days after I found her, downing crickets pretty regularly. Then I noticed when I can home Thursday that she had not eaten any of her crickets, but thought she was just...

    seeking advice on which cage to pick, and a misting system

    My converted ferret cage works great for Joyce, but is a royal pain for me as you have to take the thing apart or remove all the screen covering in order to clean it, and the rigged up velcro door I made in the screen is not holding up well to all the misting! Sooooo, I need to select a cage...

    New pics of Joyce

    I took a couple of pics of Joyce tonight, much to her aggravation. Now I really want to get a macro lens for my camera, just so I can get better close shots of her! the first one I was just letting her walk on a wooden spoon handle, but I set her down on the table for a second to get a better...

    Plant lighting question

    I'm wondering, do any of you use additional plant gro lights along with the Reptisun fluorescents? I have done so in my red eye tree frog enclosure, but they use a different light from the Reptisun (being nocturnal, UVB is not as tricky). Is the Reptisun enough to keep the plants healthy, or...

    Need quick plant confirmation!

    I pulled the peace lilly out of Joyce's cage, and have a new plant to add, but I just want confirmation. All the nurseries were closed by the time I got off work, so I went to Fred Meyer for the new plant and none of them had the #$%^$# ID tags on them. I am pretty sure this is a schefflera...

    Best way to offer greens/fruit?

    I'm a new Cham mommy (see the story of how Joyce "found me" in the General Discussion section, post name "Found a chameleon, need advice") and am wondering what is the best way to offer her vegetables and fruit? Going by her size, people here have estimated that she is likely somewhere between...

    Found a chameleon - need advice!

    Well, I had an interesting experience yesterday! I went to my local pet store to get food for my parrots, and as I was outside looking at their fish pond, I see what I thought was a little chameleon statue...until she moved! I picked her up and took her into the pet store, thinking she had...
