I bought one for a dart frog enclosure, haven’t used it yet though. I found it impossible to find the premium nozzles. Could only order through MistKing, and I wasn’t paying $30 shipping for a $30 part. Can’t wait to try the system.

There are many ways to wash the plants, I’m sure you’ll receive some great instructions from others. Myself, I don’t wash them. I’ve never had an issue, and honestly, if you’re chameleon cannot handle a small amount of pesticide or fertilizer, then it was probably compromised already. I know...

It would allow you to control the humidity. If ambient humidity is low, we recommend closing sides of mesh cages with plastic. This would also allow you to lower the humidity in an enclosure when ambient is high. Less misting and including a fan to draw in moist air which will be absorbed by...

Another reason to use non-screen enclosures?

Vets commonly recommend placing reptiles in baths for dehydration and to help with stuck sheds and passing poop. Though this works for many reptiles, I wouldn’t trust this global advise for a chameleon. The shower method is a less stressful option. I believe he perked up after because he was...

They don’t become calcium deficient in a week. Dehydration, possibly. Contact your breeder. If they don’t offer a refund or something, hopefully informing them their husbandry is incorrect will prevent them from hurting more of their chameleons.

Yeah, I’d get rid of the waterfall. Asking for trouble with that.

Me and my 3 boys are at 5-6 gallons a week!

Well, since chameleons are in a constant state of ketosis, fat is not a concern? Are their carbs in bugs? Does their digestion/biology even work like that? GREAT question James, for real.

My entire enclosure is completely automated. I thought of this before I got a chameleon. As far as feeding, I would feed extra heavy for a couple days prior, then let him forage for food. I use bioactive substrate so I have a pretty consistent supply of feeders popping up(BSF’s, superworm...

I am very disappointed to hear what has transpired. Disappointed for both the loss of an animal, and now the loss of a reputation. This day and age a business can not control what is said on the internet. If I were to put myself in the purchasers shoes, I would demand and expect at the very...

I’ve purchased feeder brown anoles and let them stay in my chameleons cage...until he gets hungry enough. One lasted for about a year, but eventually, he was consumed. I think it’s good to introduce a little extra protein once in awhile. That said, I still have my reservations about feeding...

I doubt there would ever be a study. But a known prey animal transferring a parasite/pathogen to the animal eating it is common. The problem being a chameleon raised in a cage most likely does not have the immune system or strong gut biome required to tolerate a newly introduced “wild”...

Aren’t those invasive species? Anyhow, very similar care to most chameleon species, just don’t house them together...that anole would make a nice snack. And yes, most likely has a parasite load.

That’s a great looking enclosure. Are those schefflera grown in yet? I’d really like to see it after they fill out.

If this is a “first” reptile for you and your son, I cannot NOT recommend a chameleon more. They may carry a low initial purchase price(veiled chameleons), but will cost thousands over the lifetime of the animal. There isn’t a pet shop in the world that can give you the advice you will find...

He went the “socialist” route? Hasn’t called you a communist or Marxist yet? Sounds like a guy that shows up at Jordon Peterson speeches to try an argue. Just put forward a well thought out breeding plan, include pics of your facility and females, and maybe someone will bite. I’m not saying...

It’s doable, but incredibly expensive to do safely. I’m building a small paludarium for dart frogs. This will still cost me well over $1000. Proper filtration, UV sterilization, plus bioactivity and all the proper lighting, fogger, mister, plus fan systems add up. Then you’ll need very...

The springtails in your shower came from nature, not your chameleons cage. Just pour a few cups of bleach down the drain. They’ll go away. I had literally millions in my downstairs shower drain when I built my house. This was noticed before I moved my chameleon in. I actually cultures a few...
