Hi all! I've gotten away with tap water in my mist king bc it's very soft. But I want to invest in RO system for chams and aquarium. Reason I've avoided so long is the water waste, especially in California is big deal. Wondering if there are people out there that do resivoirs for their RO...

Hi all. I know what Cham poop should look like, which isn't this. But is it something I should be worried about? I wasn't home yesterday (and it was their no-feed day). Found this poop this morning when I got home, it's already dry.

Hey all! I saw a breeder at a local Expo this weekend who breeds Calumma Malthes. I'm seriously in love. I'm still new to chams, only have my two Panthers who are my first, so I want more experience with Panthers, veields and Jackson's before moving on to other rarer species. HOWEVER, I want to...

Hey all! I just hooked up my new Mist King starter. It was fine for about 4days and now one of the two nozzels is making a high pitched almost whistling noise. Spray is good. It's been less than a week... Figured I'd ask other keepers before contacting the company incase it's an easy fix...

Long story short, so the question, lol... I want to run three cages off off a mist King (not bought yet). Buuuuut... Third cage is in another room, but just on the other side of the wall/closet. How long of a line can I run between the 2nd and 3rd cages? (It's 1/4 tubing I'm guessing?) How far...

Thought there might be some interested people in this comparative video :)

For people who have done the Great Stuff Foam and Coconut fiber method, about how much coverage did you get out of a 10oz tube of silicone? Just a rough estimate, if I go with ASI silicone I will be payign shipping and want to only do that once, lol. Also, what brands does everyone use? I've...

Recently sent an email to the Flex Seal company and thought I'd share the info. They replied "Yes, Flex Seal Liquid should work for your project because once fully cured, it is non-hazardous, non-toxic, safe around plants and animals and NSF food grade safe." And included the SDS sheet, which I...

Will be delving into great stuff foam soon. How hard is it to remove from surfaces, especially screen? I heard it doesn't permeate the screen. I'd hate for a permanent set up if I want to change it up down the road. I was thinking of using lighting "egg crate" to create a wall that can be...

I'm in planning stages for a daytime outdoor enclosure (5 long x 6 tall x 2 deep). The more I research the more I keep jumping around on design ideas! So please share what you have? Wish there was something you did different? Did you add something you love? What materials did you use? (PVC...

Hey all, I'm dealing with an ongoing problem with my panther cham. My last post with his husbandry here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/chronic-eye-problem-should-i-take-to-vet-a-3rd-time.163796/ Husbandry Changes: Basking temp raised to 90. Humidity raised 60-70. Beta carotene drops...

Hi all! I am planning my outdoor enclosure for my panthers. It will only be for some day use, not permanent housing. However, the summers are ridiculously hot here (Central California). Misting will definitely help extend the use of the enclosure and I am excited to give my chams extra long...

Hey all! I am in planning stages of an outdoor enclosure for the panthers. It will not be a permanent home, but just a retreat on nice days for fresh air and natural sun rays. I am looking at using galvanized wire mesh. But I'm not sure if 1/4 inch squares or 1/2 inch squares. Is there a benefit...

Still learning, so forgive me :) I am recently dealing with a 9 month old Cham with eye problems, which the vet is pretty sure isn't a vitamin A deficient issue. However, the whole ordeal has made me look closer at the the vitamin supplements and how often they are usually recommended. I see a...

Saw these at Walmart today, they like water (with good drainage) and low light (perfect for bottom of the cage). Scientific name is Nephrolepis biserrata. Did not see it on the FL Cham safe list... but also did not see any red flags about toxicity when googling around. This site mentions...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther, male, 9 months old. Had him since 3 months old, bought at reptile expo from local breeder Cryptic Chameleons. My first cham. He's my avatar (when he was about 7 months old) Handling - Only for vet trips or deep cleaning :( We have not worked...

Hey everybody! I have two male panthers, 9 mos each. My first cham kids :) Unfortunately when I first got them at 3mos, I was "forcing" their handling by nudging onto my hand. After reading though, I have backtracked and started from square one. They have made much more progress now. They are...

I'm in the planning stages for an outdoor enclosure, so chams can get fresh air and sun when weather is nice. I have small apartment, so plants must be able to withstand outdoor temps year around, can't bring them in. Would love some thoughts, especially others living in similar climate. I used...

My little guys are eating great but don't have the "eagerness" they used to as babies. I've read multiple places that it is not unusual for juveniles to have fluctuations in appetite as they age. Adults of course not needing as much. So when did these appetite changes, change in your...

I've read so much, and my head is whirling! I'd really appreciate some help! I've been researching high and low, and I know the basics, but I want to make sure I have the right bulb picked out before spending money on it... I have two juvenile panthers in a reptibreeze large (18x18x36). They...
