I like the design of the cage. Hopefully he does not freak out when he grows and cannot manage to get his head out of the cage lol. This weekend I tested a free range set up with my cham, but decided to take it down after my chameleon left his tree 3 times. It sounds like at least if he gets...

What kind of "rain attachment" do you plan to use? I noticed my chameleon hates it when the MistKing turns on and sprays. I bought the "rain attachment" from MistKing but he does not seem very interested in that either. He looks hydrated but I can never get him to drink when I want him...

Thanks for the reply! I was really hoping he would stay in his darn tree because he is always so happy and nicely colored when sitting in it. I am thinking I will instead choose a large cage (5x3x6). At least with that size he will enjoy plenty of space and I can ensure he will not escape...

Well I ended up having to take down my free range set up because my chameleon decided he wanted to wander around. I found him two more times on the other side of the room. He was not a fan of the sunny D death trap, which I think was why he went for a walk. Also I am not too sure if he realized...

Hey there. My experience with chameleons started in 2002. My girlfriend at the time bought me a Jacksons chameleon on the fly. I do not remember if I told her that I liked chameleons, she bought it for me, or if she just randomly bought it for me. Anyways, she gave me a TINY Jacksons in a...

So I noticed my 4 month old veiled Foley (hey, I am a new grad RN and had to pay tribute some how) really enjoyed natural sunlight over his Reptisun 5.0 and 60 watt heat bulb. I moved his cage to a spot in the garage where I can open the garage door and the afternoon sun beams into half of his...

My 4 month old veiled does not like water either. I tried the shower method once and he just about had a heart attack. His eyes and urates look good though. I saw him drink for the first time about two weeks ago. I was able to get him out of his cage and on a silk ficus tree for some nice...

I have noticed how happy my 4 month old veiled boy is when he comes out of his 30x18x30 cage and hangs out in a silk ficus tree. The last couple weeks have been beautiful and in the upper 70s in southern california and he very much enjoyed the sun. He seems anxious when I put him back in his...

I made a purchase of 500 larvae from MantisPlace, thinking I could refrigerate them and hatch maybe 100 per week. My package was delayed two days by USPS for some reason, and all the larvae pupated by the time of delivery. Pupae do not last as long so I had to hatch much more than originally...

Thanks for the replies. Well I had purchased the reptibreeze off Craigslist for 20 bucks for my chameleon when I first purchased him. Now it was just sort of taking up space so I threw the hissers in there instead of using a bulky storage box. The idea of just one box of many types of...

I have an extra ZooMed small reptibreeze (16x16x20) that I have about 20 hissing roaches in. Is it possible to have multiple species of roaches in there? I was thinking of adding another type of roach in there if its possible. I have another container of lobsters that I am really debating on...

I hope the wine is made from fermented grapes! lol

I do like the looks of those silicon tipped tongs. I might have jumped the gun when I purchased the ZooMed before posting a thread. I was surprised only two threads were started with "tongs" in the subject line. ZooMed had a 5 star rating with 20 reviews so I thought it was a good buy. I'll...

How are you guys actually feeding the fruits and veggies to your chams? My 4 month old veiled is afraid of my hand and is reluctant to even cup feed. I am trying to figure out how I can position a small "plate" to put fruits and veggies on.

Thanks for the tips and cautionary warnings! I guess I will have to scope it out when I actually get the tongs. I bought them off amazon for 7 bucks shipped. My main goal is to be able to hold a worm and have it squirm to get his attention. He just ignores silkworms and superworms. And...

Haha, well the problem is he is afraid of my hands! I am hoping the extra 10" of tongs will let him feel comfortable enough to go after a bug. Then I will try and get him to come out more and more until he walks on my hands. He is a 5 month old veiled he basically hates me. Even when he was...

I am going to try to get my chameleon to associate me with food by using Zoo Med feeder tongs. Does anyone have and advice to get the job done? I guess I am curious if must let go of the bug in a timely manner so the cham can retract, or is it pretty much automatic? I'd hate for me to blink...
