Just check his urates when he poops. White means you are meeting his hydration needs.

Some chameleons just don't respond to drippers. I've never seen mine drink from it. He shoots at the droplets sometimes, and I'm still not convinced he has ever actually drank from it, but it tell myself its useful. I may just trash it. Its just one of the ways we offer water. As long as you...

Now we are talking. It would also be sad to waste a perfectly good plant bulb and the daylight bulbs on just one schefflera!

Quads are dope. But if you go quad, you NEED your enclosure to be heavily planted.

Pothos has always been the easiest to keep alive in my experience. I replaced one in my enclosure months ago and just stuck it out on my balcony. No water or direct sunlight, and the thing survived till a few weeks ago! Basically you have to try to kill one. Hibiscus has pretty high light...

He likes the TV because of the heat it emits. totally normal.

Nighttime temp in the lower 60s is fine. As long as the basking spot stays relatively consistent during the day, he can warm up in the morning when the lights go on. The red light will cause nothing but problems. just get rid of it. A ceramic heat emitter will do the same thing, but not emit...

So just off of the packaging it says it emits 25 microwatts of UVB. Not sure if that means directly under it or not. that should be suitable short term, but personally id prefer stronger. it would be equivalent to a reptisun 2.5, which isn't a thing, but you get the idea. I would use it until...

He could have also been flashing you!

There is a care sheet for them on here. Just hit up the resources section.

LOL. Somebody really wants a male!

If you are going halogen, a flood light is better than a spot light IMO. the spot light focuses the light on a specific spot, whereas the flood light spreads the light

Love Flappies. My uncle was a big keeper when I was a kid and had a couple. Always a favorite of mine, just understand it isn't a veiled. Its needs are a little closer to a panther, so keep that in mind.

No red night light! Temperature drops at night are good!

I would absolutely get a basking light. He needs it. The purple light shouldn't be used. Just use a regular incandescent house bulb and make sure you turn it off at night. he needs darkness and a temp drop to really thrive so don't worry if it gets a little cooler, as long as its not below...

interesting. thanks for the link

At least for me, silkies have been hard to keep alive. maybe its a humidity issue, or a contamination issue. I've read that once you touch them they get infected because they have no immune system. Just wanted to vent about silkworms.

Just crickets. You can always branch out into other feeders, there are plenty to chose from especially online, but mealworms are useless besides the space they take up in the stomach.

Variety is key like the last poster indicated, but at 5 months old, he is in his rapid growth phase, it is literally impossible to overfeed him. Feed him as much as he will eat. And I support ditching the mealworms. They are useless and can only cause problems later.

This is correct, but you could also just use a bleach solution. or just buy some F10. If it still has branches and such you may need to get creative because F10 is for no porous materials.
