Cage Cleaning • Sanitation ISTYT (Part 4) DisinfectionAn eye problem is probably not going to be contagious. Any parasite eggs could linger in the cage. A good soapy wash and a bleaching would have...- JacksJill

Cage Cleaning • Sanitation ISTYT (Part 4) DisinfectionI would say no. I would steam it or use hair bleaching 12% peroxide on a used cage of uncertain origin.

Individual Baby Cages or Caging during the time of Covid
My first prototype I was planning on using Exo-terra Nano glass cages for my baby cages but the supply chain issues we are all too familiar with made me get creative. Forum member, MeruJack, who I all but stalked on here when I was getting started used Nanos for her baby jacks and she had a...- JacksJill

Traveling with Chameleons
There are a number of ways to transport your chameleon to reduce stress. Whenever your chameleon needs to go in the car to the vet, or when you're moving, it can be nerve-wracking to make sure they are going to be okay during the stressful journey. Though chameleons have specific long term needs...- ferretinmyshoes

Chameleons throughout the years have served as a beautiful, unique, and outstanding pet that to many of us will become addicting as we go through are hobby. Many keepers will tell you if you aren't ready to work and be committed to such an animal, it isn't worth the price you are going to end up...
This comment is based in my opinion and my own personal experience. I've been importing reptiles since 2009 and I'll share my point of view on this topic.
There are 2 kinds of WC. Long term captive kept and recently imported.
Recently imported: IMO when you buy these kind of WC, buy from...
Poppi loves being in the window! (Open, 2nd story window with secure screen.) It took a few times of being there but she is finally relaxing and starting to just hang out. Once in awhile a delivery truck or something will go by and stress her out a bit but she just goes and hides behind the...

friend me :)
Probably I dont know your real name so please remind me who you are on this forum if you do add me, okay!? LOL
Its not that rep points actually matter that much, and its not that Im ungrateful. I mean, Im glad anytime someone finds something I've posted helpful or interesting enough to give me rep points. I like to be helpful.
But it seems odd, sad, unfortunate, even a little demotivating to receive...
URGENT PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING CHAMELEON KEEPERS
For over 50 years, the Chameleon Virus (CV) has been infecting individuals coming into contact with chameleons, and the number of affected worldwide has been on the rise and increasing at an alarming rate since the initial outbreak...
Just posted the first and last pictures in the general photography thread so everyone can see how much they have grown!
Of course Prometheus was up to his old tricks and hiding behind the vine! LOL So, I waited for him to come back up and stuck my hand and the camera in with him really quick...
Poppi is gorgeous and growing like a weed. This week she even started cup-feeding! WooHoo! And, no, I didn't have to make her go hungry to get her to. Patience and perseverance finally paid off. Every day when I put food in her bowl, I hold it up to her, where she can see what goodies are...
I periodically blend up a bunch of "dry" ingredients to use as part of my cricket, roach, and superworm gutload. This is the most recent "recipe" - all measures are approximate.
4 cups (~32g) dehydrated dandelion leaves (calcium, vitamins)
3 cups(~250g) alfalfa (protein, vitamins including K)...
I figured I would put up my rain dome's.
I made 3 for under 20.00
Parts:
Drill with 1/4 bit or whatever you use to make small hole (heat up a phillips head screw tip and press thru even)
some extra 1/4 tubing (if you bought a mister setup you should have some still, if not goto lowes...
Breeding Blaptica dubia, or dubia roaches, is an easy and money-saving way to feed your reptiles. They are low maintenance, very hardy, will eat just about anything, and live from 1-2 years. Here are the basics on caring for your own colony:

Temperature: Dubia roaches like higher...
So, I bought a 250 silkworm colony and powdered chow from silkworm store : * - Home Page.
Heres how I reared them, unfortunately not from start to finish but It was the same from when I first got them as tiny stage 1 slikworms (1st instar)
You will need:
plastic hinged box (provided when...
I have heard some stories about how attitudes change when chams go through "puberty". If Prometheus' attitude gets any worse, I am afraid he is gonna start biting himself! He is the most vicious little critter I have ever seen or heard of. I am even going to move his cage again to see if that...
I'm sorry to be the first one here to report a loss of a transvaalense :( My little girl left me on Friday.
My female was showing strange colors Thursday night as I was turning out the lights and made me worried.
Friday morning she was very dark and her eyes had taken a sunken...
I have seen some people post about the problems with ants they have been having and now that its summer it seems ants are more out and about then ever. Ants can be very deadly killing off your entire colony or even kill your Cham. The best method I have found and this works really good is to...
Well, after getting myself caught up in, and observing, a few threads that have got out of hand, I feel I need a qualification in diplomacy!
I think it's easy to take things personally & to forget that not everyone is set out to cause damage.
For example, I found myself feeling hugely...
The raw bulb/base of the leaves is a decent source of Niacin, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Fiber, Vitamin C, Folate, Potassium and Manganese. Moderate amount of oxalic acid. Pretty tasty too :)
The seeds are good source of Phosphorus, Potassium and...
I was kind of worried that the MVB would be too strong for the babies. After some research, I ended up putting it about 6 inches above their cages so that it shines down into both of them.
Poppi loves it and is right up as close to the top as she can get. Prometheus spends some time up at...
