The top photo is hilarious! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
One of the reasons I made this thread is to find out about other cool species of chameleon I may not be familiar with. I never knew there was a species Archaius tigris until today. Based on that bottom photo though, I'm not so sure it's a...
I agree this is my favorite but since I already have 3, the "dream" has shifted to reality :ROFLMAO:
Have there been any cases of misidentified C. uetzi brought into captivity? I have not heard or read of anything but there is always the possibility ....
I assumed specs were similar but form factor looks different - square SMDs vs round COB. I was looking for individual heatsinks to match the mounting hole positions because of the different form factor. I can't seem to remember the name of the type of heat sink I like to use ... the round or...
Any reason you are choosing to go with 6500K vs. 5700K? I thought 5700K was a good compromise between realistic daylight color and what is good for plants. Already had 6 in my shopping cart yesterday :ROFLMAO:
Now I'm looking for good heatsinks, drivers, etc. that would match well with these...
If you could have any chameleon regardless of price, import restrictions, size, husbandry requirements, spouse approval, etc., what would it be?
My top 3 (in no particular order):
Calumma uetzi
Bradypodion damaranum
Bradypodion pumilum
These 3 are all similar in that they can display a...
Begonias and African Violets. The former is supposedly quite easy but I have never had any success with either in my chameleon enclosures. African Violets are native to the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, home of several montane species, so they should theoretically make a good, colorful...
My post wasn't aimed at you at all. Your comments didn't occupy any space in my head for even a fraction of a second while typing this. I certainly wasn't trying to take any "sides." I was just trying to say, as diplomatically as possible, that Petr has very valuable knowledge to share about...
Petr is obviously a, if not the, foremost expert on chameleons living in the wild - what they are exposed to, what they eat, environmental parameters, etc.
I greatly respect the immense time, effort and passion you have put into this field and sharing your invaluable knowledge with ordinary...
Been there and done that a few times already ... so much so that I stopped doing my own builds altogether. I did a wood build and had issues with wood rot, another wood build had a leak, an all acrylic build had major warping issues. Now I just put out the cash for large Exo Terras.
With that...

Couldn't read everything as there were way too many long, drawn out posts but I have seen this theme of natural/wild vs. artificial/captive play out often on these forums and want to share my 2 cents on this, for what it's worth:
Information about natural/wild conditions is invaluable and I...
Setup looks good, calendar next to the enclosure looks even better :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Here is some additional feedback I have:
Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon, male, and 2-3 months. He was when 2-3 months when I got him on 2/27/20 from FL Chams.
Handling – None right now, I want him to get...
That's a good point. Given the organic substrate in the enclosure, do you plan to put any CuC in there? Springtails at least to deal with potential mold issues?
Still larger and better looking than my 12x12x18 linotum enclosure. If I had something that nice I'd put pygmies in it and move the beetles to a plastic tub ;)
I would guess around 6-7 months old then. Granted this is based on my very limited experience with only raising 2 male panthers from a young age. They were both about that size after 6-7 months.
Yes, he is already striking with so much red and will only grow more striking as he becomes an...
Your beetle/larvae enclosure is much more well-designed and beautiful than most peoples' chameleon enclosures LMAO! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
It's also bigger and better looking than my C. linotum enclosure
