I find it easier to maintain temps and humidity in my basement. The upstairs fluctuates depending on the outside weather, my basement stays a constant 68 degrees year round, with the humidity sitting at about 40% in summer and 20% in winter. (I just mist more frequently through the winter...

Looks great! Be careful with the croton though! Even though panthers rarely eat vegetation, crotons are considered toxic if ingested so I'd replace it just to be on the safe side. Add some more horizontal branches and you've got yourself a beautiful showpiece!

I'm in Alberta. Let me know if you have any questions.

After doing a little research I've found that the only size that will come close to housing a panther or veiled is the Biopod Grand. For $750 I could afford ten of my homemade cages, which are also fully automated, and likely easier to clean, maintain, and modify. Sure it looks pretty and the...

Your setup looks great and I applaud you for taking the time to make sure it was suitable before buying your Cham. You'll be worrying constantly for the first few months I'll warn you, but it gets less stressful as you build experience with them. This forum really is a great place to find...

I remember reading a report a while back indicating that reptisun bulbs put out a significantly higher amount of UVB. I started years ago using reptisun and since I haven't seen any detrimental effects and my chams have always been in great health I've just always stuck with them. I'll try to...

I'd add that bright colours will often put my chams on alert so keep anything a neutral brown or green colour if you do decide to use them.

Was this done on your vets suggestion or did you ask for it?

I can't seem to find the list of ingredients and amounts in Miner-all but I honestly wouldn't take the chance. For reference I did some checking a few months ago and the following list will show you just how much of a difference there is from brand to brand. Zoo med REPTI cal w/d3 22900...

Trust me you'll want to avoid using d3 at every feeding unless it's a VERY VERY low dose. You may not have seen any problems yet but you will eventually. Would you post a pic of your Cham for us?

It would likely be great for some of the smaller montane species. It doesn't seem like they supply a model that has any notable size to it.

You really have to start gutloading your crickets and other feeders and adjust your dusting schedule. Feed them apples, oranges, carrot, kale, collard greens, sweet potato, winter squash etc. Adjust your dusting to the following: Pure calcium WITHOUT d3 every feeding Multivitamin every two...

Make sure you put a layer of clay balls or marbles at the bottom to allow drainage and airflow. Without them it will become a sopping mess. I second the isopods as well. They'll break down most fecal matter and refuse you miss when spot cleaning.

You can tell yourself whatever you want to in order to anthropomorphise your chameleon. The members on this site are basing their answers on decades of experience with these animals, and they have helped countless members and their animals avoid and correct health issues. One chameleon out of...

I believe they are safe to feed, but I'd be concerned about parasites when collecting them the wild. I can't imagine a cicada living underground for seventeen years and not having some sort of parasite.

Lol Don't put ice cream on it! I'm sure the poster meant neosporin. This is why it's extremely important to check our cage temps regularly. he should be fine but be diligent when constructing your new enclosure.

What size of Dubia are you trying to feed? If you're trying with an adult, I'd suggest offering smaller ones first along with some a superworms or two to get your Cham to recognize them as food.

After they are about a year old I find my male chams especially slow down on their food intake. It seems they just know when there growth spurt is over. Looks great and healthy though!
