    pardalis doesnt want to eat

    Could be a classic case of the picky eater, except he seems a little young for all that. The only thing I would recommend besides the ask for help form is variety. With the form we could try and see maybe if a husbandry issue is to blame for the lack of appetite. Hornworms are the best to...

    Veiled Chameleon sleeping during the day?

    We are all here to help each other. I apologize if it comes off as rude, I saw it that way for a while, but everyone here just cares about each others animals and want them to be happy and healthy

    Veiled Chameleon sleeping during the day?

    Also ditch that red bulb ASAP. Just use a regular household bulb for heat and that daylight bulb is not a UVB bulb, you will need UVB as well as heat, that may be the entire problem right there. Also you must dust your feeders. A bunch going on here with the husbandry issues. The AC unit...

    Need Feeder Ideas!

    Variety is the spice of life! I saw someone say that soft bodied feeders, phoenix worms, silkworms, hornworms, etc. do not need to be dusted so consider that.

    Male panther won't flick tongue

    It could be a bunch of reasons, most likely an injury and it will take time to heal, especially an orifice like the mouth that is in constant use. I also saw a lady on YouTube claim her chams super swollen tongue was from a lack of calcium, but I was suspicious of that excuse. Has he seen a...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Guessing affect from a specific color patter, brightness, darkness or intensity is very hit or miss, and not an exact science in any sense of the word. One thing I would recommend is getting that cage off the ground. its not the end of the world because she is still young, but as she gets...

    Tongue troubles

    My dude is right. Its intuitive, but I never realized it till my vet told me. Most tongue issues are from an injury, but most missing issues are due to eye problems which could be injuries, lead to injuries, or more commonly caused by the dreaded Vitamin A deficiency. Regardless its important...

    Arcadia T5 6% 54w bulb.

    Idk dude. Seems like everyone is throwing their two cent in, lets get Todd to weigh in. Its not like the guys got a quad fixture with all 12% and 100% exposure.

    Arcadia T5 6% 54w bulb.

    cover in general is a good idea, but an arcadia 6% is only 1% stronger than a reptisun 5.0. Also is this a single, double or quad fixture, and how may of the bulbs are arcadia? If it is two arcadias its more like 12%. Cover is always a good idea obviously, but if you own a solarmeter you...

    Usually active cham not very active.. too much UVB?

    Yeah its a great bulb. I have that in the 24 inch model and its the best, i was just throwing that out there as a possible cause. It is great, and i highly recommend it, but you should burn for a week before using it. They put out some serious Lumens.

    Usually active cham not very active.. too much UVB?

    could have been the new bulbs. They need to be run for about 10 days before the UVB burns off a little and it emits the advertised UVB levels. This is especially true for T5HO bulbs which sounds like you have.

    New Cham owner, having a hard time hydrating.

    You know I've got to give you props. He looked a little rough when you began the thread, but he's looking great these days. Well done, and kudos for not getting defensive with the criticism. Everyone thinks they've got all the answers, when in fact I am the one with all the answers:LOL:. Also...

    This one is still a mystery

    what's the motivation? Someone told you to? I'm no vet, but I did stay at a Holiday in express last night, and I don't see the point. I'm truly not trying to start a fight here. If it works for you, do it, but is your gutloading not up to par? that's really the only reason id imagine it...

    This one is still a mystery

    Very confusing indeed Can I also point out the age old adage, calcium at every feeding is excessive. I may be inviting the hurt on this one, but you guys actually supplement EVERY feeder you offer? Cuh-Rayzee

    Grumpy chameleon

    A ceramic heat emitter doesn't give out any light. And will screw in like a light bulb.

    10.0 or 5.0 Light Bulb?

    I'm a total brand whore, but he's right. a good lamp, and making sure the bulbs are good is more important. I use arcadia

    An Odd Question...

    Its not don't worry. Lots of people have drank the kool-aid on this one. plenty of chams will happily drink water from a glass or a dish. you can also teach them how to relatively easily if its a young animal. Lots of people have heard the misinformation on this one and haven't even bothered...
