I'm looking into replacing my current Reptisun 5.0 T5HO that is about 5 months old with the Arcadia 6% T5HO, and noticed that Arcadia says it "must be used with a T5HO fixture". I currently have a dual T5 fixture for Bernard that I read to purchase somewhere on here. One bulb is a 6500k bulb for...
Hey guys!
Bernard just had the shed of his lifetime and some very vibrant new colors have emerged. I’m honestly surprised too because he’s 2, I didn’t think he would change much more. Anyway, I’m slightly concerned with his spine, in some lights it looks like it’s just dark red but in other...

We just got Nard a 24/24/48 cage, and I have a Reptisun 5.0 linear UVB bulb. 95% of the foliage is real in his enclosure. What do you suggest for UVB/lighting to keep him and his plants happy? Also how is everything set up? Also got a MistKing, just haven’t installed it yet. Thanks!
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Ambanja Chameleon, 15 months old, 9 months in my care
Handling - Every day usually. He enjoys coming out.
Feeding - Part of the issue here. My previous chameleons always enjoyed Discoid roaches but he doesn't seem to care for them/is much pickier. He seems...
Don't know if there's a thread like this, but if y'all or anything like me, you have at least one photo of your chameleon snuggled up looking like a sleepy puppy dog. Anyone want to contribute? Here's Bernard telling me with his eyes that he wants the sun turned off. :rolleyes:
I bought this back in May and decided I need a bigger cage, figured someone might want to save a little money on a very gently used cage. I will clean it up before shipping or pick-up. Its 16x16x30, asking $50, bought it for $80. In Tampa FL area.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - 1 year old Ambanja chameleon, been with me since May.
Handling - Every day, as he seems like he wants to explore ALL THE TIME, hence this post
Feeding - Currently discoid roaches every other day, I put 7-10 in there, he doesn't eat them all in one sitting but I...
Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for where I can order Discoid roaches? I'm in FL, so I can't get Dubias, and I've always went to the herp shop to purchase Discoids, but it's about 30 min away from my house, and 50% of the time they're out. I just want a more convenient and surefire...
Hey all! I used to be a pretty regular member on here back a few years ago, not so much anymore. I am still very much so still into chameleons, and wanted to share some photos of our new guy that we named Bernard, AKA the Nardzard. He's an Ambanja, and I was told he was about 7 months old, but...
Hey guys!
I was taking photos of Benedict on some vines when this weird bug flew up. He immediately went to eat it. I thought it was a stink bug at first but it definitely is not upon further research. Does anyone know what this is?
Hey guys,
Just a quick update on my boys. They are now 8 months old and looking like they came from two different hatches!
Here's Bogart (the little sweet boy we got with pretty severe MBD for a 4 month old who has made a sparkling recovery!)
Not a spot of red on him. A true blue...
Hey guys, just thought I'd shoot an update for our runt baby Bogart. to spare you finding his background story I got him from a breeder and he showed up with somewhat severe MBD for being only 4 months old.
His front limbs both look like this and his back ones look like Z's. He was also the...
Benedict turned 5 months yesterday! It's beautiful here in FL today so I let him sit outside on one of our hibiscus. He was on edge, trying to catch bugs so I put some crickets all over it and let him go to town. :)
Later I'll post a thread dedicated to his brother with MBD. He's almost caught...
Finally got my DSLR back from my boyfriend and snapped some photos of Benedict. Nice to get some pics that aren't cell phone. You can see his colors a lot better now. Almost 5 months old now!
Think I finally deciced on the name Benedict for one of my Nosy Be's names. He just turned 4 months and look at his colors! This isn't even him at full show! I'm excited for his turn out. :)
Just finished getting a little sassy!
Hey guys, just got back from the vet. For the ones that didn't read my initial post, this little guy was sent to me by a breeder and he has MBD. The breeder sent me a healthy cham but I decided I wanted to give him a good home and make sure he has a good life.
She injected him with 10% Calcium...
Ebenezer passed away on the 5th. He was my best buddy. The sweetest cham ever. He hated being in his cage and he would come on adventures with me. He had some eye problems that would come and go and it made it hard for him to aim. Besides that he was always healthy. I would have to hand feed...
Hey again everyone.. I've been on and off of here for about 4/5 years. Coming to introduce the two new babies in our family.
Ebenezer my Nosylobe passed away recently and it was so rough. It's crazy how attached you get to these little guys. He was the sweetest cham I've ever seen.
I hated...
