    Tips for keeping up humidity

    Try adding something that would keep the water from getting to the drainage. In my case it was a large live plant, the pot and the plant itself catch water and help maintain humidity. Also if you have a screen cage, attaching some plastic sheets to the sides should help (it worked with my cage).

    Mister options?

    I have a Jackson's and am happy with my MistKing. Also tried Monsoon, but it didn't work consistently. I also always do a very generous hand misting in the morning, and sometimes another one in the afternoon depending on the humidity and weather.

    5 month Nosy Be Cham (video)

    You may want to try different gutload, some dandelion leaves, mustard greens, squash to add some nutrition value and vitamins. Here are some great blogs on gutloading https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/. You probably don't have to dust with multi vit daily, usually it's twice...

    glass or screen

    If you think there is a probability of moisture retaining issues, go with combination of glass and screen. I bought a screen cage because I also wanted more fresh air for my chameleon, and it turned out to be a pain to keep humidity up. Now I have three sides covered with plastic, but it's hard...

    Worried!! Cham is climbing screen and falling

    Need an advice on coccidia

    I have a "bridge" with fake leaves and some fake "ficus." He usually drinks while I spray him, but I maybe should still leave a pothos and only remove the schefflera. I usually don't leave any feeders in his cage, always put them on branches one at a time, as many as he would eat and take back...

    Need an advice on coccidia

    Thanks so much for the links and the advice! I'm convinced I should try Ponazuril, will ask my vet to order it tomorrow. Regarding the dosage - it's 30mg/kg, so for my 37 gram cham the dosage will be a little over 1 mg? As I start treatment, I will remove all live plants from his cage, as it...

    Need an advice on coccidia

    Hi Everyone, I recently did a test for parasites for my Jackson's chameleon, and it came back positive on coccidia. They didn't tell me how much of it was found, and my cham doesn't show any bad symptoms, so I assume it's probably not too bad yet. My vet wants to treat with Albon, but...
