The pump has a sponge filter that I clean daily and change weekly with some sponge I’ve found that fits from fish tank filter, clean all removable weekly with reptile safe disinfectant and through rinsing. I’ll take it out if it forces him to drink off leaves, how long is “safe” for him to have...

No nothing else has d3 from what I can see, I’ll go down to every other week with the vit-A-Min I think he’s only had it twice since I’ve bought it anyway. I cannot find a repashy that says for chams just the bannna one. I’m glad the sheds normal I just didn’t know if so soon was a worry. One...

He finished his shed about 4 days ago and just noticed today he’s seems to be shedding again? Is that normal

What I feed the locust, along with the recommended greens on your photos on the forum. Silk worms get the mulberry mulch stuff, but usually just buy a box a time as as pet shop is on way home from work. This I was told once weekly but if giving D3 make sure other end of the week, eg: this...

Thank you for replying, that’s my bad I know not to use the red light I’d just finished putting everything in his Viv so turned it on for 5 mins to boost heating as it had got abit cold (like 16 near substrate), the uvb bulb is at the top above the door, currently, I’m planning to cut half the...

Here is what I’ve done to make his cage batter real plants lots of cover lots of branches and places to explore, I’ve kept his fountain plant as he seems to only drink from that he got dehydrated when I took it away, I hope this is better

Ok I’ll leave him to it, so would him sitting up there and skin looking how it does both indicate he is about to shed?

Day 2, still the same, also is he looking like he’s about to shed on his head with the colour and appearance, it’s been like that maybe 2 days, he gets misted when the plants do as read to gently mist to aid shedding

Okay good, just seems to want to stay on the top branch and be dull since I turned the temp down the other day

He’s been sat here doing this for a while now is that concerning?

Hi guys so just giving a little update so far, I’ve got rid of the old “non descript” calcium and bought this, I assume this is okay? There is nothing added to it. He now has 3 live plants, I will keep updating with live ones but for now the plastic ones are staying and will be swapped...

Also this is the vit I have, no good then?

Ok so so far we’ve got rid of the dropper plant, i have bought one real plant as that’s all I could find atm, I’ve left the fake ones in atm till I get some more real ones for coverage, as don’t want him to feel exposed, dropper tube now dripping onto that, does anyone know how much repti safe...

Okay thanks guys, a lot to take on board, give me a week or so and I’ll hopefully have a more chameleon friendly vivarium

I feel that the best thing I could do is once I have him higher drill a hole in bottom and make a false floor so water can drain under substrate and thru the hole into a collection bowel. Would that be advisable?

Pets at home. The UK equivalent.

Your Chameleon - velied, had him 2week Handling - daily atm about 15min every few hrs on weekends maybe and hour on week days Feeding - mealworms+dark leaves daily with calcium. Every other day crickets or locus, depending on day they will have multi vit, all feeders are fed bestie feed...

Hi he’s a male so I’ve turned it down to 30°c (never seems to top out at the temp I set always a few ° below) that thermometer measures his basking spot the rest of the tank ranges from 27° up, he has spurs, he’s about 3.5 month old. I know this isn’t the most airy Viv I’ll add more vents below...

Okay I see, I was worried about a dripper tube as it’s a wooden Viv, didn’t want to flood it or ruin the wood, I’ll change that

I’ve had this guy about a week and he hasn’t seem to have settled, he keeps going brown trying to warm up but his basking spot is 35°c I’ve attached some photos, if anyone could help that’s would be great, also I’ve not seen him drink but has access to a dropper plant should I be concerned. The...
