thanks. Do you treat the tap water with anything? i've always used bottled water as our water has floride in it as well as chlorine and the floride is not good for my hermies, so i just by the 10L jugs of water. is there a treatment that's safe for reptiles?

i have not actually seen my chameleon drinking now for several days. i had been seeing him drink daily. while home, i've been misting 4 times a day. When i mist he acts like he hates it and is trying to get away from it. i just use a light spray. The water is room temp. should i use...

wow... thanks for the detailed instructions! There's some awesome pointers there!

thanks. 1-2 hours after lights on then. you mist as soon as the lights come on then do you? i wasn't sure on that either.

i don't get it. i know i'm new so i'm just learning myself. But why are chameleons so much more at risk of impaction. i have all my fat tailed geckos and crested geckos with substrate. my cresties are in fully planted terrariums. my fat tailes are with a mix of sand and EE and they are...

thanks... that's very helpful.. i'll try that

With the exception of my cats, all my other pets are nocturnal. The kids go to bed, I feed all the geckos. So I'm just wondering when exactly i should be feeding the chameleon. I know he is eating because the bugs dissappear and he is pooping. however, only twice in two weeks have I seen...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way. Still can't bring myself to touch them, but it's only been a few weeks. So far, I've just been feeding fluckers cricket food. They love it! The are on it before i've even got the lid back on the tub! i was wondering too, if a full...

i've just started a roach colony myself. i'm hoping my geckos will eat them too, as my cricket bills are starting to climb. What is most prefered for keeping them in. i recieved mine in a plastic sterilite container, but i do have a couple of empty 10gs i could use. Does it make a...

thanks! That's a much bigger list! For me.... half of the enjoyment of having reptiles is designing their homes!

I don't see them on the plant data base. But are snake plants and ivy safe? I have a huge pot of snake plant that I will be dividing for my cresties . Don't know that it would be anything special for the cham just more plant decoration. And Ivy's are so good at climbing and decorating the...

Thanks, It was almost two years ago, my son and I came home with a hermit crab in a small plastic KK and what we thought was all we needed to know from the petstore. It didn't take us long to realize we had a lot to learn. Since then I've made it a priority to get all my info off the net...

Many thanks for any pointers and advice!

Oh trhank you all so much for the warm welcome. I can tell already that this is as active and social as my hermit crab site. Thank you all for the links I've been doing some reading, but will be doing lots more before I'm a confident chameleon owner. I'll get that form filled out as soon as I...
