Yeah, I think I will just chalk this up to curiosity and make sure she cant hurt herself. I suppose if she is gonna keep finding a way onto the screen the best I can do is ensure she can get back onto the plants with ease as well. Make a ladder at the bottom onto the plants and move the edges of...

Alrighty, I will see if I can get the light even higher. But if 90 is too hot then she wouldn't be climbing the cage due to lack of adequate heat.... so that still leaves me right where I started. In regards to the vitamin schedule, was that about my young male or the female?

Raised the temp to 75 and raised the bulb a couple inches. The basking spot is now about 90F and the screen is not nearly as hot to the touch. Time will tell if this is alright I suppose.

Second for fish emulsion. It smells like death but it goes away in time. I have a Hibiscus that is flowering right now, in January, thanks to fish emulsion. Also, when and if you transplant, use a soil that is 1/3rd perilite, 1/3rd vermiculite and 1/3rd peat moss. Trust me, that combo works for...

Thank you. I am 100% it is not a uv issue. The bulb is 2 days old and it is as wide as the enclosure. So it may be the ambient temp, I will try jumping my homes temp from 70 to 75 and see if the behavior continues. Thank you.

Current Problem - My Cham keeps climbing onto the screen and going onto the roof of the enclosure. I am worried she is going to sit directly under the light and burn herself. I have read so many posts talking about the danger of chameleon burns and I am not sure how to handle this. Chameleon...

Then you definitely do not need heat at night, scratch that off the list.

For now yes, the cage is okay, at four months he is probably only 4-5 inches (10.6-12.7 cm) I just want to make sure on the temps cause that boggles my mind. What is the lowest temperature in your house at night, in Celsius.

yup, a little reading would fix these problems, but a little reading is sometimes a little too much...

There are tons of recipes, as advised by first response, use the search feature, type in gutload, you are done. I suggest roaches over crickets as a staple feeder... but that's just my opinion. Remember, you need to offer lots of different insects. Silkworms, Superworms, roaches, stick...

My lord you have Parsonii... I just met a man locally who breeds them in several greenhouses (apparently they do great outside in Az), I am trying to get friendly with him... just to be friends... ::Looks around suspiciously::

Cause they are lizards, and people assume lizard=likes the hotness.

Actually, it is $252.38 There would also be sales tax on it if you are in California, and in their terms it has a note saying that shipping may be subject to change based on weight of purchase. Yours does not seem like it would be too heavy though. But as far as the supplies go, seems to...

They also stink and are noisy and they are one of the hardest feeders to raise successfully. I only raise roaches and worms, no stinky noisy crickets over here... Roaches and worms dont smell, dont make noise, are easy to breed, get larger than crickets, goes on and on and on. The occasional...

Also, I notice you say "A" cage for future "friend(s)" Chameleons are not social animals. Some species can do okay together, but your best bet is to just house them separately. Think this choice on chameleon ownership through thoroughly, it is not a small one.

To get humidity in an Arid environment (see Arizona--->) You just need a standard aquarium air pump. Get a tube and run it from the pump into a bottle of water (any size is fine, I just use a .5 liter) make sure the line going into the bottle goes to the bottom of the bottle (submerged in...

How about Jim? LOL

You can get the "big dripper" for 7$. Count on spending a lot of money, chameleon keeping is not a cheap hobby. I recently built 2 cages for my new chams and all of the materials/lights/misting system/dripper/plants/drains/stands/feeders/etc cost me nearly 500$ before even buying the animals...

Fake plants can be eaten by chams and cause health problems. Some use em some dont. You need a UVB bulb and a heat bulb for basking/temperature gradient. For the UVB go with Reptisun, it is a little more expensive than the Reptiglow but the UVB output and lifespan of the bulb is much better...

Algae doesn't grow in distilled or DI water as long as it is kept covered ... which is what you should be spraying on your cham anyways. Tap water certainly will grow algae, but if you are spraying your cham with tap water then you are spraying it with fluoride and chlorine and countless...
