thanks for the reply. just to clarify, here is a link to the "DIY cage" I am referring to.. http://www.diycages.com/collections/vertical-screen-reptile-chameleon-cages/products/sc4-48x24x24-jumbo-vertical-screen-cage
Does anyone have any recommendations for screen cages larger than the traditional sizes? I couldn't find any sites selling them any larger than 24 24 48.
Is it possible to maybe leave the side off of two DIY cages and use screws to attach them to themselves? Preferably, I would have one with...
Thanks for the replies, guys...
Unfortunately my little guy's tongue is still inaccurate. I have been waiting to see if changing the supplements would correct the problem, but I have not seen any progress.
It is weird to watch him, because I can hold the cricket just two inches from his...
Thanks for the replies...
Just to clarify, there is no cage. But I will take him outside to see if there is a change.
This morning he ate and was ok, but I made sure the crickets were pretty close to him.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - five month old(ish) male blue bar ambilobe
Handling - handled every couple days to transfer from inside to outside
Feeding - crickets, hornworm, sometimes blue bottle flies; he will eat probably 5 or 6 medium sized crickets at a time (or more if I let...
Yeah that's a good point about potentially expanding inside. Not sure if it does or not, but I know it congeals when cooked, though. Water crystals do expand in stomachs, I've read.
I still gutload and dust, just with a little dash of flavor on top lol.
I wonder if anyone has had any...
Aw, no replies? lol I figured this is the next logical step once hand-feeding is mastered!
Now I can add a little sliver of carrot or some other safe veggie because he usually does not eat my fake "carrot worms" when I hold them out for him.
I did a search but wasn't too sure how to easy...
Now that I am primarily hand feeding my two chameleons, I started to add a little dab of uncooked Bug Burger (with water added) onto the belly of a cricket before I hand feed it off. Pretty convenient way to delivery nutrients on top of gutloading and dusting.
I also injected a couple of...
Looks really good! I just completed a remodel for my veiled and panther.
Does your guy not climb down the tree? My veiled is nuts and will try and climb down any/everything possible!
Thanks for the reply! I was happy when I figured out I could have these mobile free ranges and keep them off the ground. Has worked great so far and both chameleons hang out on their own trees and bask away in the warm sun.
It is too bad there are not more clicks coming this way in the Free...
Oh here are the garment racks I used...

I wish it was a little wider, or had an adjustable rod that extends out of the top like my other one...
Hello everyone, just wanted to provide an update on my free range set up. In the past, my two year old veiled (Foley) lived on three artificial trees that stood on a piece of wood that was sitting on top of a small end table. This provided a little island for him. It was nice but a little bit of...
I just took delivery of a 72" quad set up from Light Your Reptiles. I am in the process of setting up a double free range, so the extra long fixture made sense for me.
My point on commenting was to share my thoughts of buying the bigger fixture (more bulbs) and just simply not using them all...
Thanks for all the replies!
I did consider the whole sprinkler set, up but ended up going with the Mist King and it has worked great for two years now. I would hate to drop that and buy more sprinkler set ups, but that is the answer I expected to hear.
I do like the idea the last replier...
Current set up is using a five gallon reservoir bucket (filled with soft water) connected to a single Mist King nozzle. It's worked great for over a year now. Weird because the Mist King came with two nozzles, and the first clogged after the second day. I have not messed with it since then, but...
So so sorry to hear about Red.
This story hits home. I found a lump on my dog a couple months ago and had it tested. Turned out to be a benign lipoma. This stuff scares the hell out of me as my dog is barely 5.
I hope Red stays comfortable for a very long time.
Did the biopsy reveal...
For my free range set up, I take my 5 gallon bucket and fill it with hot hot water, then run my mist king for 15 minutes. My 1 year old veiled runs under it after a couple minutes and enjoys the warm mist.
But I know your systems may vary, as perhaps there is a built in water supply...
rainbowmealworms.net always treated me well. Great customer service. I live about 10 miles away so I always picked up my shipment. But I figured I would chime in either way. Maybe some Hisser cockroach new hachlings would do him fine.
