Go outside 😊

The only one that doesn’t hate me 😂 I love the smiley face on his head 🙂

I barely ever see the guy, but man he is pretty (or she? I don’t know, I respect their privacy)

Can someone explain why it is advised to never fog above 67 F? I've read the warning that it could lead to lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia). Why is it assumed that temperature above 67 (? Where did this number come from ?) combined with high humidity (? What’s the number for...

Interesting article discussing production of beta-endorphins through UV exposure. Could make basking a “pleasurable” experience that encourages the behavior? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117380/pdf/nihms599207.pdf this next article suggests that vitamin D deficiency...

I read this article by Dr Francis Baines today. If you don’t know who that is, you really should. She’s advanced reptile lighting a great deal. This article changed or at least put into question my views on vitamin D3 synthesis, how oral D3 might affect synthesis, and hypervitaminosis D. Very...

Does anyone know what form of D3 is in the supplements we use? Is it cholecalciferol, calcidiol, or calcitriol? Just wondering if it’s a form that requires metabolism by the liver and kidney, or is it calcitriol, the active form so far the only product I’ve found that says anything other than...

I admitted earlier in another post that I break the cardinal rule of feeders and give 1-2 mealworms to my Chams once every 1-2 weeks. I’ve been peering out my windows for the angry mobs carrying torches and pitchforks to arrive. And now I’ve sat down to find out why the no mealworm mob...

I got my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine today!

The early stages of the quarantine led to a lot of new animals in our home. Including Calcifer our panther chameleon My wife got caterpillars and we released butterflies in the backyard after they emerged, a hamster, 2 hermit crabs that turned into 6 hermit crabs, and a leopard gecko This...

I’ve had Calcifer for about two months. I’ve learned a great deal from all of you and other resources about how best to care for him. This is the first chameleon cage I’ve done in 25 years, so it’s been two months I’ve tinkered and changed some things how does all of this look? Thanks ...
