    Giant Crested Gecko Enclosure

    Hey everyone, I'm back after a few years. So back when I had Merlin, my panther chameleon I built this enclosure for him but unfortunately he got a bacterial infection which cost him his sight and he wasn't able to use it. I haven't been able to make myself get another one due to the time it...

    May Sell Custom Enclosure

    So this is a very sad post, but my panther Merlin passed away. He fought a bacterial infection that cost him his sight for around 6 months and finally ran out of fight. I built this to be his mansion, and now that he's gone I'm really bummed out and don't know if I even want to put a different...

    Merlin The Magic Man (Chameleon)

    So I wish this post was all positive, but it isn't unfortunately. I haven't been on in a few months due to work and other stuff like we all get caught up in. So Merlin closed his eyes back in Sept/Oct. and hasn't opened them since. Before everyone jumps up in arms, I have been to the vet, and...

    Worms in Drain Water

    So I notice some worms in the drain water of Merlin's cage. They were in the bottom of the five gallon bucket that catches all the excess water from his enclosure. They look like earthworms to me, and the water does run though his live potted plant in the enclosure so I think it is possible...

    Shower Water Temp.

    So it's very dry here in Kansas in the winter, so Merlin gets more showers and right now he's shedding so we will be doing it a lot. My question is what is the correct temp for the water. I've searched and saw some pretty old threads on this and so I didn't know if there has been any change in...

    Cham doesn't notice worms

    Hi everyone, So I tried silk worms a few months back and Merlin never seemed interested and I ended up giving up on them. He has crickets for his staple and he LOVES blue bottle flies for a snack. Basically he likes faster food I think. I ordered him a cup of horn worms since it's winter and...

    Posting a video?

    I have a slow motion video I got of Merlin shooting a cricket and was trying to load it, but it's a .MOV file which is how my phone took/sent it to my email (I think). Can anyone tell me how to go about coverting it to a gif file or something? Sorry, I'm not very tech savvy but the videos are...

    Light Your Reptiles Lighting Difference

    So I purchased a quad 36" fixture that Todd with Light Your Reptiles helped me to size for my custom enclosure (love this fixture)! Anyway myself and many others sing Light Your Reptiles praises on here and a lot of people say their light from them made a world of difference in how their cham...

    Vet experience in Kansas?

    I looked and searched the forum and couldn't find anything on this location specifically Topeka/Kansas City/Manhattan, Kansas area. Does anyone have experience with Marguerite Ermeling at Gentle Care Animal Hospital? I see her on the sources listed here, but my personal vet that I've used...

    Merlin sleeping on floor

    So, last night I went up to check on the temperatures about an hour after lights out to find Merlin sleeping on the floor. He was upright and curled up like normal. He just finished shedding, he normally sleeps on the lowest vine but I have not found him going to the ground until now. I have...

    Cricket Molting

    I don't know if anyone is interested, but I noticed a cricket acting weird once I put it in Merlin's cage and realized it was molting. I had never seen this before so I snapped a few pictures incase others were interested too. Make it a great day, Jordan

    Paradise Chameleons Babies

    I received my little male from Bruce with Paradise just over a week ago and couldn't be happier with the chameleon and especially Bruce's level of customer service! I was thinking it would be neat to see who else has babies from Bruce and how they are doing, so if anyone would like to share...

    Crickets stressing new cham???

    So my new cham has been pretty dark lately and staying towards the bottom of his enclosure. I have been misting more because my humidity should be up higher and that seems to be helping some. I noticed that some crickets were still there from feeding over lunch and they are all at the top of...

    Chameleon Came in Today!!!

    He's Finally here! I got him from Bruce with Chameleon Paradise. I picked him up from FedEx, brought him home and let him into his new home. He was sired by Cowboy so I hope he gets those great yellows and blues like his dad! The first picture is him coming (slowly) out of his shipping cup...

    Enclosure Inside an Enclosure

    So I've been taking an armoire and prepping it for my new panther from Chameleon Paradise. I've been working on this project (very slowly) for a few months and have held off due to vacation etc. Anyway, Bruce from Chameleon Paradise helped me out a great deal and so I ended up getting a...

    Plasti Dip Spray on Rubber

    Hey everyone! I'm working on completing my custom cage that is an armoire, for lack of better term, that I'm converting (pictures to come!). It is made of wood so I was initially going to seal it with a polyurethane but I saw this Plasti Dip spray on rubber sealant and was intrigued. When I...
