my veiled likes to eat dirt whenever he sees it .. so i wouldn't be able to do dirt on the bottom. Too much trouble too, if your chameleon eats leaves off the plant. i switch plants every now and then to keep em fresh in the cage, if they were planted it would be impossible. but it can be...

Pygmy chameleons are pretty well off in live terraniums :).. Theyr pretty tiny and do well in groups (give enough females) I think i spent maybe $60 including all the plants .. I already had the tank. The background is part great stuff foam and an old foam background i had.. Once the foam is...

So i caved and ordered some crested geckos from lll reptile ... Theyr going to be some lucky geckos.... I have some live moss and more climbing are now.. Il take some new pics once i have the new roomates..

i think i am leaning on pygmys.. substrate is, well a few layers . leca stones charcoal, coconut, most of the coconut is siliconed in place, and very top is organic soil.. i have some live moss coming in the mail and also a few stones to cover more of the soil.. the plants are ivy...

I just finished a new setup.. dont know what to put in there..?? I had this exo terra tank lying around in my garage and decided to get creative with it. Its my first custom setup. i have a taller one that i will do a "how to" post on in the future.. Originally had pygies in mind but a friend...

do you have pics of your setup, im thinking of setting up something similar..

Man! By the looks of it, this cricket virus is not going to stop.. I think im going to have to face my fear of the roach in the near furture...

I have a schlefera (if thats how you spell it), pothos, and some fake stuff to fill in the gaps. I recently made the mistake of putting in a money tree without checking its toxicity, and i ran into a thread that they might be.. So i took it out of the enclosure..

Well i suppose i could leave it in his enclosure, but there are mixed feelings on this plant so it will stay out..dont want to risk it. Does anybody else have experience with this plant??

Ok so i made the mistake of putting a money tree in my veileds enclosure. It was in the cage for about 3-4 weeks.. I removed it today after stumbling onto a thread where a few members stated that that plant is toxic. My chameleon did eat a few leaves, but his behavior seems normal still, only...

I Was cleaning up a ton of pictures on my computer and I put together a compilation of pics of Alfie. Some old some new.. What do you guys think?

i feed him silkies every couple days..and the occasional house fly. he does seen to roam his territory a lot more.. he eats great though and his behavior seems normal. il try cup feeding again in the future but i doubt he'l give up the hunt ..haha

my veiled refuses to be cup fed any longer and only eats crix that free range in his cage.. he stopped from one day to the next.. when i would cup feed he would walk up on my hand and then eat off the cup.. he even went on a hunger strike for 3 days!! he would look at the cup and say nope!! i...

anyone know of any good vets that specialize or are more lenient towards chameleons in Chicago??

I have been wondering this myself, since this is going to be my first winter with chameleons.. Right now its relatively humid in Chicago, but winters can be brutal out here.. I have read about people covering parts of their cage with cardboard for northern climates...I'm thinking plastic...

yep as mentioned, i use the big plastic bin with lots of vents.... they are fed dry cricket food and calcium fortified gel for water source.. i keep paper towel rolls and egg cartons with them.. my girlfriend who didn't like to feed my chameleons because of the crickets figured out that my...

They were 20 bucks, but i was only charged for one :)

Here's a pic of my setups, I finally set up my 2x2x4 cages. I found the white trays at home depot they are washing machine drain pans :) they work awesome, I tapped a hole in the back of the enclosure with 1/2 inch fitting for drainage. I lifted the table about a half inch so the water level...

Thanx for the support guys, thanx to this forum my two chameleon are doing great. My male is very healthy thanx to the loads of info on the forum. So i have one question about the bumps on tinas head, are they an infection? I will try to get a clear picture of it when i get a chance.. If...

So I have had Tina for about 3 weeks already. she is doing great. she is putting on weight quite well and is cup feeding when she is not moody..i know she is a far way off from being a healthy girl but her reactions to her new environment are great and her colors seem to have relaxed and come...
