I get cost if I buy through my store because I'm a manager. Do you really think it would be cheaper if I went through a hydroponic shop and paid their retail price as opposed to my cost? What's the average price on them for the amount I need?

Oh thanks, I like it here - when it's not so dreary. Lol I'll definitely look that up.

Beautiful enclosure, Lingling! Thanks a ton for sharing! :D You have some really good points there. I was just going by what the book said with the stones, but . . . it was written three years ago, and from what I know about the Hydro-Balls, they're kinda a new thing in the pet shop trade. Plus...

Seriously... Bearded Dragons: Average Lifespan: 10 - 15 yrs / Average Price: $70 Green Iguanas: Average Lifespan: 10 - 12 yrs / Average Price: $24 Leopard Geckos: Average Lifespan: 10 - 20 yrs / Avarage Price: $40 I wouldn't call those common lizards expensive or short lived...

Jeez. That's pretty sad. :/ Sounds like a fourth-grade science assignment... "Now class, for homework tonight, write a quick page on how to care for your favorite animal and hand it in by tomorrow..." *gags*

Beautiful chams! ;D I think Siren or Syren is a pretty name for a female cham. (as in Sirens in Greek Mythology) I would've named my baby ambilobe that (probably Syren for originality) if it had turned out to be a girl . . . But it turned out to be a boy, so I went with Nebulas (derived...

Thanks, that would be great! And I shall. xD

I know what you mean about the reef stuff, as we currently have a custom build 180 Envision reef tank with mostly SPS coral. (my husband is apart of several reef forums) Thank you for your support, as this thread wasn't intended to be about the OUTSIDE enclosure, but what's going on the...

First, the substrate: I don't like it either, that's why I wanted to go for more natural substrate i.e. coco-husk/orchid bark/ and other good stuff. Maybe I'll try the Jungle Mix, as I was looking into at that the other day at my work. I would like my plants to flourish in natural substrate...

All I know is they were called "pygmy leaf". I'm not sure what the genus was. Usually we get CB for most of our reptiles in general. The pygmy's were most likely WC, but I don't remember - as it was about 4 months ago last time we got them in. I'll defiantly check into the Brevs species.

That's a great idea! Pygmies are super cute! What type would be best? The Leaf ones we get at the store always don't seem to do well. ;/

Thanks for your oppinion. I'm planning on building a partial screen, partial glass enclosure. I know the warning signs of stress (I've worked with chameleons for the last four years at my work). ;-)

I read the article and i'm totally hooked on the glass terrariums! And he even touches on the natural terrarium bit I was talking about. (Notice in all the pictures the terrariums have live plants planted in the substrate with a drainage layer.) Too bad Exo Terra doesn't make a terrarium big...

Thanks for the advice guys! I know screens are the way to go for most people, but I'm leaning toward the Exo Terra terariums for the added humidity and which are vented for airflow. It is possible and has been done before. I'm reading more into it for more info. (The water bowl you see has a...

Forgot to mention the ominous "One Chameleon per Cage" rule. With most species, males will fight and become stressed. If it's a male/female pair, the male will constantly try to mate with the female, which will cause her great stress as well. I'm not sure on the Jackson's with that issue...

Sounds fun! Great sized tank as well. I love the Exo-Terra tanks (I have my 5mo. old panther in the 24"x18"x18"), great for holding in humidity and also added airflow with the front vent and the screen top. Most people suggest getting a veiled if it's your first cham, because they aren't very...

I know what you mean. Fully screen cages suck for holding in humidity! I personally prefer 1/2 glass 1/2 screen enclosures - retains needed humidity at the same time as excellent airflow. Live plants help a ton with keeping the humidity levels up. A 3' potted ficus or schefflera plant are good...

I have worked at a locally owned pet shop for almost four years and it has really broadened my horizons for pet knowledge/care. I thought about getting a bearded dragon for a long time, but decided it was too generic for me. So I went out on a limb and decided to hold out for a panther chameleon...
