I’d take that perlite out of the substrate. The Cham will get curious seeing isopods. And might eat one or go chasing food down there. And It might miss and ingest perlite which also floats to the top of the soil. And will cause impaction. You should also get more leaf litter for the bottom...

I have a metal top screen with a 12% t5 on 1 inch blocks sitting on top of the screen. And his main/top branch is 6-7 inches from the top. And that branch usually reads 2.7-3.0

Those don’t look like sambava bars. Looks like an ambilobe to me. Breeders do mess up labeling sometimes.🤷🏻‍♂️ How old is he?

@dee1 Is your top screen metal? If so, that 5.0 bulb is not strong enough to penetrate through. Put the fixture directly on the top screen until you order or get a stronger bulb. Also Amazon allows payments for the solar meter.

Dislikes hornworms but dislikes intruders even more😂

let him bask in the direct sun light. May take a few minutes but he’ll do it.

Where did you get the male from? The juvenile pic looks like an ambilobe/nosy be cross. And as for the male hissing when he sees the female… feed him less fatty foods and restrict his food a bit. His fat pads look swole.😂 And you can also try putting her in his enclosure.

I think you’re fine. Not sure how your lighting fixture is mounted. But you can also lower the lighting closer to the enclosure to stretch out the longevity of your bulb since you have a meter.

Looks legit. How is it with holding the humidity?

👏🏼

I thought I was going deaf listening to the live stream🤦🏻‍♂️ Some important details were kinda missed on the stream tho. @Gingero states the current “recommendation” is to house hatchlings individually. But during that stream Iparadalis only states the pro of that is growth rate. Nothing about...

Increase the clean up crew…more isopods and more springtails. They will eat up everything the gnats are feeding off of and will stop multiplying.

Mine used to gape around that age and nothing was wrong. And yes you messed up introducing him to super worms 🫠 I’ve made the same mistake before as well. And a hunger strike lasted 2 weeks😩 During that time his energy level was low. Be aware that too many dubias can lead to gout. Grasshoppers...

He most likely closed his eyes during the ride home because of the low humidity. And his eyes were drying up. I have a small spider plant that has the roots wrapped in moss that I keep inside his travel container. Helps keep the humidity up. Nice enclosure. I think it has too many branches...

Home Depot and Lowe’s have sheets of corrugated plastic that you can cut to size of the screens. To help keep in the humidity for your screen enclosure.

Looks normal size to me. Maybe try to do lighter dusting of the calcium powder. Sometimes excess coating of the powder causes constipation.

They are ok. My experience with them hasn’t been great. They were sparse and ill informed about lineage. I was also sent the wrong locale which I ultimately kept because of attachment issues.lol. But I’ve heard from other customers/breeders that they had similar issues.🤷🏻‍♂️ What locale were you...

Just seen that at my local pet store. I’d add that to bioactive substrate. Still haven’t tried it yet, want to tho.

Surfing oak chameleons on ig has some Ankify males for $500 and females for $300.. Over your price target but great deal. And an awesome locale🤪

I asked about his diet because eating a lot of dubia can cause a build up of uric acid = gout. Those uv cards are not adequate. I know this because that’s what I was using before I just got a solar meter. How much does he weigh? Shots and blood work sounds very intrusive. I’m positive...
