    Proper lighting

    I'm due to renew both my veiled cam and red-eyed tree frogs 🐸 lights. I'm always confused with desert and forest. There are so many variations available. To me, the chameleon should be T5 desert Frogs T5 forest. Simply as that's roughly their habitats. Any ideas folks! Thank you in advance...

    Only eating hoppers

    Figaro, my two year old veiled is only being given grasshoppers to eat. I've tried numerous worms, sadly, to no avail. I refuse to house crickets, as the males almost drove me to suicide a year ago. Say no more! I have tried red runner roaches, they only ended up as escape artists. I feel...

    HOW BIG DO VEILED CAMS GROW?

    My male veiled chameleon is now 1yr old. I was led to believe that they grow to the similar size as an iguana! My boy is only 15 inches long from nose to tail. Will he grow any further? I'm confused.

    Humidity

    I've had to increase my halogen heat light to 100w. I've noticed that the humidity is drastically reduced. Before with a 50w lamp my humidity was around 50% daytime and 99% overnight. I mist at least twice during the day and again at midnight. I don't really want to drop back to the 50w as my...

    Dusting Dilemma!

    Hi Folks I am just wondering if this problem can be resolved easily! I'm feeding Figaro roaches from a feeder cup. The only problem is that the six or so roaches are constantly climbing on top of each other. With the result, the calcium dust, is being inadvertently scraped off them all! I...
