but yea for sure, you and your viv are definitely ready to go. I cant believe you have waited this long! If you run into problems with the dripper, you now have an idea of where to start. Remember! keep the floor clean at all times! no substrate everrrrrrrr and sitting water is not good...

The temps and humidity are nearly perfect, well done. SOme mods you may want to try if you are comfortable that is, or know someone that is comfortable with handling a box cutter and a heat gun.of All of whichwear the necessary safety equipment while working. i.e.;kevlar gloves and wrist...

I actually just had good success with using a 10gallon aquarium for a young veiled chameleon. The problem with using aquariums in the way that meets the needs of chameleons, is the difficutly of the build and the fact that it is a bit of an eye sore. Ideal conditions are at least 3 screened...

^^^^ then cover the top layer in washed river rock, making sure that each stone is at LEAST 3/4 the size of your chams head. Mind that the rocks will need to be replaced if your cham is young. Bigger is better, just not too big. The point is to prevent your cham from eating rocks when...

Thank you all so much for the help and advice, the babies have settled in and are eating and basking like normal. For being so young they handled the trip very well. I am trying to feed them lightly as I forgot the basking lamps but the mesh hampers and travel boxes have been a huge help...

holding the plant upside down*

Put some dish soap in the handle of your garden hose nozzle and spray the plant (holding it upside down) until the water no longer looks soapy. When the white fluffs are gone and the plant smells of only plant, it is then dubbed "ok to use" I suggest green apple as it is easier to tell...

I was evacuated from my house today, as a river appeared in my backyard and has now consumed my house. seriously... I took my babies and their smallest enclosures and as many supplies as I could fit in my small car and am now trying my very best to care for them the way I just was at home...

If there is any light from your home or the sun getting in the room then your timer needs to be set to turn on near the time the sun comes up. The natural sarcaydian rhythm is meant to follow the sun and they make routines very quickly. This can be adapted of coarse but really, perhaps you...

And really, I dont mean to be rude... but being mindful about how I might feel about this. Using the word "dead" in any part of a response to a thread about a sickly chameleon seems wrong. sorry to be a nag I am just a bit upset and worried.

I think the adjacent grow light was responsible for the eye closing, his change in color I am not so certain about and still concerned by. I modified the aquarium to allow for plenty of airflow man. I removed the plastic edging cut out the top piece of glass removed the caulking around the...

Yea it definitely helped a lot shutting down the grow lamps, He has his eyes open but I wonder if it is because I came back in the room. Moving the basking lamp even further away and rasing the uvb lamp an inch probably helped a lot. I dont really have an old uvb bulb, think it is only a...

It has been pretty cold and very rainy so I have resorted to just keeping my windows open with a fan for circulation. Absolutely no sun out today or yesterday. I'll try shutting down the grow lights and see if it improves. What scared me was this morning the light wasn't on and he kept basking...

Here are a few pictures of the current set up and where he has been basking/sleeping

Chameleon Info: Veiled, possibly male (has stumps where tarsal spurs may grow) approx 1-2months old and been in my care for 3 days. Handling - Day 1 the lady that was caring for him was kinda rough with putting him into small pet carrier with screen sides. I furnished it with a fern and sticks...

Possibly an impaction? Idk is she pooping still?

pond liner would work, 12mm poly sheeting is ideal as it is cheaper than pond lining and more durable. You can find small rolls at hardware stores near paints. I have seen someone use waterproof paints and stains for wood that worked quite well for them. Here is a great build guide...

Do not keep them on more than 14 hours, 12 on 12 off is ideal as it provides them with ample time to rest, which is when their immune systems ramp up and lets them heal and grow. 12 on 12 off will also cause your plants to start flowering assuming you have lights in the fall colored spectrum...

some people use tacks or screws to anchor perches, I anchor mine with mild tension between plant stems and nodes. I figure that this will not work once when they start to gain mass but for now it is working perfectly well. I have seen a lot of twisted willow branches simply cut to a perfect...
