Maybe it's just me, but would it really be so hard to build a simple stand out of wood? hammer, nails, wood, handsaw maybe done.

I totally agree with CammieNLeno. Since this is a collecting dish I can't imagine the water is very clean. The key with keeping chameleons is cleanliness. The cleaner the water the better. A water dish can be dangerous if not kept constantly clean. If you have seen your chameleon drink of plants...

Wow! Are you sure he's only five months? He looks so much older.

I haven't started following a rigid schedule yet either. I'll get my own down eventually. I've just found overtime through research that this is roughly what most find works best. It's great to look at if you're just starting out and you have no idea how to approach supplementation. Looking at a...

That's what I was trying to get at, but did have all the smarts to fully explain :). All we have been able to get out is that you use some sort of calcium dusting (which you have not specified as being with or without D3 and you have not said how often you use it either). If you do not have...

I was just looking flapnecks up earlier today. They seem to vary a lot in patterns and color, but generally they are far less colorful than other chameleons. That turned me off a bit, and I have a plain Jackson, so you'd think I wouldn't be one to speak. So veileds are more colorful, but...

I've never used Phoenix worms before, but I have actually heard they are nutitrious as staple feeders and don't need calcium dusting.

I know. The problem is I'm still in highschool and I've been trying to get my dad to let me buy some more plants and biovines to go in there, but he doesn't believe me when I say it needs more. He got two hibisci the other day to plant in the backyard and I asked him if I could put one in the...

My dad's very handy too. He made our cage out of fiberglass mess and pine I think. He simply used a window screen on a screw hinge for the door. There was some unusual material he used for the bottom. It was like used for countertops and he just happened to have it lying around. It's like a...

You still haven't answered exactly what type of supplementation you're using and how often you're using it. If you overuse Calcium with D3, your Chameleon can die. So is your calcium dust with or without D3? I'm no expert, but the toungue problem might be tied to disorders stemmed from improper...

What about the D3? It should say on the label or the ingredients at least. But glad to hear you're seeing the vet. Hopefully you find the root of the problem.

Yes I have heard that the chams sometimes eat their young, Boothy. I'll be sure to separate them right away, but it's good to warn people. I'm not sure I would have known to do so without reading about it. I love the internet :D! I'm very sorry to hear about Momma. She sounds like a really...

Thanks for the interesting info Kent. I never considered that she may have been wild caught (captive Jackson's are pretty easy to come by for me). But it makes sense now considering the petstore specialized in exotic fish and reptiles. They even had a pair of giant tortoises on display! But...

Is the calcium powder with or without D3? And is the container completely transparent? Because I hear that will confuse some chameleons.

Thanks for the pics. Looks like my Jackson's belly except she's younger.

She's young but very healthy it seems, and hardy. The petstore's care wasn't perfect. The Fischer had just died. I only took her because she was so healthy-looking despite all this even while pregnant! I'm expecting her to live a long time and to give birth to more than is normal for her age...

Her light schedule should be very routine, considering she lives in a sunroom :)(which I will have to do something about once it starts to really heat up in there). So yeah I don't use the lights much except when it's a little cool. I wanted to get a veiled because they do better with the...

Thanks that helps. Haha yes I get it...and I like :D. That may be a contender. I was going to name a male Jackson's Andrew if I ever got one because my History teacher has a mancrush on Andrew Jackson...inside joke thing.

Oh by the way any ideas what to name this girl? Yes she's still nameless. Is Prego too cruel? :) I was thinking Anise...I'm not sure though. My last one (which I had to take back because of an eye infection) was named Guadalupe! :)

Thank you so much Cammie! Just having an informed opinion makes me feel so much better. I hated not knowing because I want to prepare. It is hard to tell since I have just gotten her, but she was eating well yesterday and then stopped as far as I've seen today. is I'm going to try to feed...
