So, 4 days I received this unit and went right to work on getting it set up.
I actually spent the night before pre-planning all my settings so I could quickly input them when I got home and hooked up. Needless to say, the hour spent pre-planning my settings was a waste as after putting...

Tip #1: Things to think about while arranging things within the enclosure.
-First off I use a Naturalistic Rainforest cork background on every enclosure. Remember that a Pygmy that feels secure is a happy Pygmy. I cover one side of the enclosure with a rainforest aquarium background picture...

I just learned that someone I know no longer comes to this website. This is a person who bought a chameleon from me years ago, and who I sometimes share a spare office with when Im working not at my primary location. he's a nice guy, smart and I think his feeling forced off this forum is a darn...

So, there has been so much debate on this forum about whether to handle your chameleon or not. I have read: "Don't handle unless you have to, don't put in high traffic area, don't put in another room with other pets, and the list goes on and on. Well, I for one do all these "dont's"!!! Does...
