Interesting. There are a number of features of your chameleon that draw the subspecies into question. The dorsal spines on the base of the tail and the development of the horns are both not typical of what you tend to see in typical T. j. xantholophus in the US, but the coloration and patterning...

No, its not finished. I've had a new issue partially finished for about a year now. Unfortunately finding reliable authors to follow through on the articles they promise to write can be challenging and has held up the release of this issue. Since then I've had a few other priorities (getting...

Glad you were finally able to find them. No adults though?!?! Chris

If you had stagnant air and drainage issues keeping a veiled in an Exo Terra Glass Terrarium, you were misting FAR too much. I mist my montane species in Exo Terra Glass Terrariums once a day for 1.5 minutes and have no problems with dehydration, etc., nor any issues with stagnant air or...

Here are a few links for the two of you to read over and listen to. While too much moisture can be a serious issue, so can not enough moisture. Also the "chameleons don't understand glass" thing is a myth. Really not an issue at all in a properly setup glass terrarium...

And you're gone.

Thats awesome news! How many in the clutch? Chris

Thanks for the clarification on that, PJK. You are absolutely correct. Cool mist and ultrasonic humidifiers produce room-temperature mist/humidity. They are called "cool" as a comparison to warm mist/steam humidifiers. Chris

Its an ultrasonic humidifier, which produce visible cool mist by means of ultrasonic sound vibrations. Cool mist humidifiers produces a visible cool mist by means of a high speed rotating disk. Neither are heating or warming the water to increase humidity. Chris

Actually, you can't say whether the figures support my claims or not because the radiance outputs are going to vary by manufacturer, bulb intensity, T8/T5 bulb type, etc. None of the figures keep any of those things constant between them, so you can't make such a comparison. If you read the...

They are commercially available for reptiles: https://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Reptile-Terrarium-Humidifier/dp/B0019IJXD2 Further, of humidifiers used by chameleon keepers, the vast majority are cool mist and ultrasonic types, and they are used very effectively. Any piece of equipment can be used...

Listen to the podcast in the last link I provided (http://www.chameleonbreeder.com/podcast/ep-55-mbd-uvb-with-john-courteney-smith/) and read the article in the link above it (http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/An-In-Depth-Look-At-UV-Light-And-Its-Proper-Use-With-Reptiles/). Chris

You are the only one who has gone in to a rage about anything. The fact of the matter is, you are simply incorrect in your statements that cool mist humidifiers should never be used, cause damage to chameleons, or that they negatively effect thermoregulation. The article I referenced is from...

No, I said that the recommended UVB lighting in that care sheet is really only best for small species/individuals in shorter enclosures. That care sheet recommended ReptiSun 5.0 CFL bulbs. CFL bulbs give high intensity UVB radiance levels at short distances, but only in a small area and they...

Yes, your behavior recently has necessitated that your posts be reviewed because you have been repeatedly violating site rules. This has resulted in my becoming aware of multiple cases of you giving out poor advise while attempting to chastise others for the same misdeed. It has also resulted in...

Unfortunately there is A LOT wrong with the care information provided in that link. It speaks generally about chameleons, but really is not applicable to all species. The caging information is misleading and perpetuates completely inaccurate statements about the use of glass enclosures with...

In addition to this post being a violation of site rules and the TOS, it is also simply incorrect. Cool mist humidifiers are commonly used for chameleon enclosures without any problem, and in many ways are advantageous over steam and other warm air humidifiers. As long as it is properly...

Sorry, JohnnyLawrence, but I'm going to disagree with you on this one. I wrote both the original thread on this forum that was referenced earlier (For everyone who KNOWS you can't keep chams in glass) and the article you're referencing now (Keeping Chameleons in Glass Terrariums). I wrote those...
