My male panther would “loose his mojo” every year from March till about June. I figured it was a lack of natural sunlight during the winter, and being reintroduced to it in late April/May threw him off. For sure a hormonal type of deal. His appetite would fade slightly during this time as...

I would use an aquarium, but it would just be part of a good, watertight, and deep bioactive/drainage layer. Just build a custom screen or screen/pvc cage to sit on top of it. But as the actual enclosure, not so much, maybe for just a Pygmy colony.

Such an awful statistic to see, also I imagine the high cost of education, low pay, and day to day stress wreak havoc on individuals. I’ve worked in healthcare for roughly two decades, and have what many poles show is a top 5 most stressful job in the US. I’ve seen colleagues make that...

Those are exactly the same tool. They are almost always $250, so the discounted “reptile” one is a great price.

I hate pet tubers. They are all attention seeking children.

Years ago, the same guy had a free range setup like this in a spare bedroom. It’s neat, but I see red flags everywhere.

Went to his house to purchase mine years ago. He is a wealth of knowledge, and had quality chameleons for sale. He is very dedicated to his animals.

Custom, I paid about $800 for mine.

I had a custom cabinet built for mine. It wasn’t cheap though, $800. But it is perfect, extremely sturdy, and beautiful.

Isn’t it a law in Florida that if you find an invasive species you are to collect it. Once collected it is to be euthanized or kept in a personal collection?

You pull air out of the enclosure from the top like Beman suggests because exo terra’s have an air intake below the front doors. Your lighting already creates this phenomenon via the “chimney effect”. With well placed lighting you should never need to use a fan. Just make sure your vent in...

More to this point...don’t veiled chameleons only survive for one season, maybe two in the wild? Well in captivity, even in an outdoor enclosure we’ve removed pretty much all natural causes of death, stress, and most disease. Maybe they are naturally less robust after around a year or so of...

I can’t wait to see where new LED tech can take us. As far as I gather at the moment, the “perfect” artificial light would be a pile of different lights, zip tied together, on an apparatus that swings from one end of the canopy to the other over 12 hours. As soon as any LED options are...

Bump, trying to see any reviews...

Interested to hear peoples opinion on this. I just read John Courteney-Smith’s latest book, and he discusses in detail the development and benefits of this lamp. I couldn’t help but feel it was an advertisement for his own product. Hoping it’s as good as he says it is.

I would leave the lay bin in the enclosure at all times. She’s digging around cause she wants to lay again.

Immediately

There is no such thing as too big. Don’t waste your money on temporary housing, build it as big as you can, build it right, and build it once. It’s better for the chameleon that way.

I have seen dart frog people maintain giant collections in their homes. But these are all home made individual vivariums. And usually in a basement or garage setting(slab floor). I’ve done repairs in rental units in the past, there’s no amount of killz or mildex in paint to prevent mold and...

Time to find one.
