Because of the growth of mold and that you found a poo, I’m going to advise that you do a lot of work which is a total pain in the butt…take down completely your current bioactive, sanitize the enclosure fully before redoing. Once all is sanitized, you can redo, but I’d like to guide you in a...

Yay! 🥳 Wormy feeders are always well loved by even the pickiest of eaters. Silkworms are terrific staple feeders with nutritional content close or equal to roaches (as I was told by a chameleon vet/breeder) plus good for hydration too.

While dehydration may have played a large role in your girl’s passing, I’m unconvinced that it was the sole reason. There had to have been something else going on…maybe biological defect. Without having had a full necropsy, the question will go unanswered. So, to provide the very best start for...

While it’s near impossible for me or even you to have 100% of the details, based on what you’ve said, I don’t really see anything jumping out at me which would prove fatal in just a period of a couple of weeks. The biggest areas I see that could potentially contribute are: hydration - was she...

My feedback will be in bold. - 36 x 24 x 18, glass cage on all sides except for top and one of the smaller sides. The smaller side - I assume is screened, but is it the entire side or just a small part of it? - humidity was 90% during the night and I believe would go down to 30% during the day...

I’m so sorry that your little lady passed away. I’ll go thru your husbandry, but I do have some questions. Do you have any photos of her in her last days? How old was she? Had you ever taken her to a vet or had done any fecal testing for parasites?

He is gorgeous! I’m so glad you got everything sorted out. 🥰

Hi and welcome! I’m not going to say what your breeder is doing is wrong, as I have no idea of their total husbandry practices. I will advise that if you are using the correct uvb (linear T5 with either Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0) at the correct distance from basking area (approx 21 cm), you...

That is too funny! They do see other wavelengths than we can see, so maybe he sees something more interesting than just a textured wall. * It is a nicely done textured wall/paint job. Both of my bearded dragons head straight for the textured wall behind my bed when I put them on it. They...

How many are there? They are fairly easy to catch. It just takes slow movements and patience. They don’t bite or sting. I’m not so sure if you need to worry about them breeding unless you’ve got a lot of them. If left alone, they will die within just a few days without intervention.

While most chameleons want nothing to do with us, there are some who haven’t gotten the memo. While my experience with chams is limited to a total of 8 (4 veiled and 4 panther), I have had two male Ambilobe panthers who literally run to me as soon as I open their door and are climbing on my hand...

🥳 Congrats winners! Sorry @Decadancin but there’s TWO ties. 😛

Awesome! 😊 Yes, I’ve found that my chameleons really enjoy their money trees. My veileds have found them to be quite tasty and my panthers are always hiding in them. All appreciate the extra large leaves to drink from. You are most welcome! 🙂

For some reason I always end up with mostly males. The extras make nice treats for my chameleons, although I do feel bad for the pretty little moths. I tried to find info on how to sex them when they are still caterpillars, but there’s not much out there. I did find one thing that offered some...

Meal worms are not good staple feeders at all. If you look at the graphic below, it explains that they are a poor source of nutrition. I think I can count on 2 fingers the number of times I’ve given my chameleons and bearded dragons meal worms in the past 6-7 years. You would do better with...
