Do solarmeters ever need recalibrated? Mine worked when it came, but now it's telling me that every single one of the UVB bulbs, from three different packages, are not putting out enough UVB. I have four beardies and my chameleon, and it's giving me the same reading for all of them.

Hello, All. So I recently lost a baby veiled cham to some horrible sickness the vet could not figure out. I have another adult male veiled cham and have been watching him very closely, checking on him several times daily for a few weeks. He has been eating fine and other than showing some stress...

Hi, I know that many cham stewards intentionally draw wild insects to their chams' outdoor enclosures and let their chams eat those wild insects. I was wondering what kinds of wild insects those of you who do this are eaten by your cams? If you do that, am I able to draw some wild insects to...

Hey, Everyone. So I am putting this in enclosures, because I thought it was more fitting since I am asking about ants as a cleanup crew rather than food. In my male's enclosure, I saw a few ants in his soil at the bottom carrying pieces of his skin shed, lol. I am wondering if it is okay to...

I’m so excited about my DIY enclosure I’m putting together! I built a planter box out of a stabilized particle board shelf and scrap wood we had in the garage. It is airing out right now from the pond sealant I painted onto the inside. I added one and a half inch feet to support the bottom and...

I found another thread to help. My rescued girl has pinworms, and the vet wants me to wait to change everything out for two weeks while she is still shedding eggs. Then he will treat her a couple more times. Didn't say how high the count was. I went to ask but my hubby said he's already on the...

Hey, all. So I searched some threads to see if I could find an answer for my question, but there is so much, my eyes are starting to hurt and I still have to do some reading for some studies I have going on. I was wondering if and how you guys clean your mister tubing/nozzles. I'm sure they need...

Hey, guys. So I haven't been on in a long time because I started up graduate courses while homeschooling my kids and taking care of all our animals. I am in a bind, though, and am trying to quickly set up an appropriate partially homemade chameleon enclosure. I brought home two chameleons this...

Hey, All! So the pet store we get crickets from (not a big chain) received a malnourished full-grown male chameleon from someone who could not take care of it anymore. They are trying to get him to gain weight before they sell him. He looks healthy other than needing to gain some weight...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the place to ask or not, but when people free range their chameleons, how do their chamis get enough UVB and heat? Genesis keeps wanting to come out and climb all over her ficus tree, but she wants to be there all day, and I have no UVB bulb for her there. I am not...

Hi, Everyone! I just signed up here a few days ago and wanted to say hi. I have my first veiled chameleon, a female named Genesis, who is hanging out on her favorite place on top of her enclosure door. I am not sure how old she is. She hasn't developed the mustard yellow yet. I am thinking maybe...
