    No im going to be out of the chameleon business for a while. I currently have a free ranging tegu, and i dont want to have a cham cooped up in a reptibreeze XL, that could be easily knocked over (they can jump a good 2ft up) or dug into by the tegu.

    Backwaters is pretty bad. Its just a group of suppliers, no main campus or warehouse. They send out a request "someone bought and oust, ship it to this address". I ended up with one that looked like it had not eating in a few months since capture, and died a few days later. I got mine from...

    Nope. Ive been larping on the forums since 2018 when Harry the Oust kicked the bucket. I occasionally look for Ousts for sale, but it seems i got the last of cheap ones around 2011.

    Help!

    chameleons dont fall chameleons dont miss If they are doing this, something is wrong. On the bright side chameleons are designed to fall onto the forest floor from unlimited heights. Its a defense mechanism, drop and run. So as long as there are not rocks or flowerpots etc with hard edges...

    Going away for 11 days in two months

    I found light timers are a must. Its like the first thing i had to change. The 2nd thing i had the change was sitters dont like to catch the food, so like others listed, you need to have all the food premeasured in easy to use cups with like some shredded carrot or something. I made the...

    Grain mites prevention

    My solution that worked for me: Live in filth, never clean after infestation Remove all supers from bin using a siv. Swap all media to bran. Grain mites can only live in grains, not bran. Place supers back in bin. Any moist food has to be swapped out daily. It only takes two-three weeks to...

    UVB monitor

    I never had much luck with free range lights. I just made a nice 2ftx4ft area with a basking light and a 4ft T5HO. This is his house, and he comes if he wants to bask, and comes back at the end of the day to sleep. If i was going to make a free range lighting setup, id get a single 4ft (or...

    Changing light timing

    I use mine as an alarm clock, but i still keep the 12 hour cycle. So daylight savings at least adjusts his wakeup time.

    Some have to Brumate in 20 gallon totes filled with straw

    What gets me through is "tegu checks". Once a week you should annoy your tegu to get them to huff. If they sound like darth vader they are healthy. If they sound like a coffee maker they have a URI and you need to warm them up. Unfortunately my family really likes doing the tegu checks, who...

    Temptation are real!

    Someone needs the cham vs food cost chart. At some point it cost more per cham, but in the beginning the first few chams its a cost savings :)

    Second-hand solar meter?

    UVI to µW/cm² is on average 1:40. So if you are reading 40, you are reading about 1 UVI. Keep in mind its impossible to do a direct conversion, but 40 to 1 is good enough for city work.

    Second-hand solar meter?

    Yea im just going my observations to get ANY reading. Im sure here in ohio its around that right now too. I just didnt want them to go "the interwebs say i should be reading a 4 and my meter is only reading a 2, so it must be bad". Generally the best way is peak summer at noon.

    Second-hand solar meter?

    Take the "bad" meter outside on a sunny day at noon, it should read 6-7. On a cloudy day it should read 3- 4, again at noon. I mean technically thats a dumbed down way of explaining how solarmeter calibrates their own meters. Also your other meter you want to buy, is not for reptiles(even if...
