    Thinking about a basement reptile room

    I find it easier to maintain temps and humidity in my basement. The upstairs fluctuates depending on the outside weather, my basement stays a constant 68 degrees year round, with the humidity sitting at about 40% in summer and 20% in winter. (I just mist more frequently through the winter...

    Finally finished my first enclosure!

    Looks great! Be careful with the croton though! Even though panthers rarely eat vegetation, crotons are considered toxic if ingested so I'd replace it just to be on the safe side. Add some more horizontal branches and you've got yourself a beautiful showpiece!

    My new wild-caught veiled...he shows self-awareness via the mirror test

    You have been a member since yesterday, you have no idea who these people are, and you have the gall to write something like this. There's no room on these forums, or this planet for that matter, for people like you. Start your own forum if you want to rant like a maniac.

    Biopods

    After doing a little research I've found that the only size that will come close to housing a panther or veiled is the Biopod Grand. For $750 I could afford ten of my homemade cages, which are also fully automated, and likely easier to clean, maintain, and modify. Sure it looks pretty and the...

    Your setup looks great and I applaud you for taking the time to make sure it was suitable before buying your Cham. You'll be worrying constantly for the first few months I'll warn you, but it gets less stressful as you build experience with them. This forum really is a great place to find...

    Repti-glo vs Reptisun?

    I remember reading a report a while back indicating that reptisun bulbs put out a significantly higher amount of UVB. I started years ago using reptisun and since I haven't seen any detrimental effects and my chams have always been in great health I've just always stuck with them. I'll try to...

    Chameleons and Bird Toys

    I'd add that bright colours will often put my chams on alert so keep anything a neutral brown or green colour if you do decide to use them.

    Which supplements do you use for your chameleon?

    I can't seem to find the list of ingredients and amounts in Miner-all but I honestly wouldn't take the chance. For reference I did some checking a few months ago and the following list will show you just how much of a difference there is from brand to brand. Zoo med REPTI cal w/d3 22900...

    Which supplements do you use for your chameleon?

    Trust me you'll want to avoid using d3 at every feeding unless it's a VERY VERY low dose. You may not have seen any problems yet but you will eventually. Would you post a pic of your Cham for us?

    Biopods

    It would likely be great for some of the smaller montane species. It doesn't seem like they supply a model that has any notable size to it.

    Cleaning

    Make sure you put a layer of clay balls or marbles at the bottom to allow drainage and airflow. Without them it will become a sopping mess. I second the isopods as well. They'll break down most fecal matter and refuse you miss when spot cleaning.

    Cicada bad or good

    I believe they are safe to feed, but I'd be concerned about parasites when collecting them the wild. I can't imagine a cicada living underground for seventeen years and not having some sort of parasite.

    Top of crest came off....

    Lol Don't put ice cream on it! I'm sure the poster meant neosporin. This is why it's extremely important to check our cage temps regularly. he should be fine but be diligent when constructing your new enclosure.

    Dubia feeding question

    What size of Dubia are you trying to feed? If you're trying with an adult, I'd suggest offering smaller ones first along with some a superworms or two to get your Cham to recognize them as food.

    Advice on Alfred's appetite

    After they are about a year old I find my male chams especially slow down on their food intake. It seems they just know when there growth spurt is over. Looks great and healthy though!
