    2'x2'x4' supplies?

    Definitely want the drainage tray and at least one set of Dragon Ledges. For a laying bin, I'd probably be tempted to go with a 5 gallon bucket or a trash can when the time came, but if you want a floor that has some depth of dirt, you could use the Dragon Strand bin. (I have no experience...

    The Titan has arrived, 19 years of waiting

    He's got big paws. I think he's going to be huge.

    Feeder foods UNIQUE TYPES PLEASE!

    If you live where blackberry grows, stick bugs nymphs might be interesting. Check Nick Barta's posting here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/feeders-fun-insects-culture-140227/ My nymphs are still growing, but I'm looking forward to putting a few adults in front of my veiled as an enrichment...

    Nature Zone Total Bites

    Personally, I've decided to go with Repashy Calcium Plus LoD as an all in one dust, rather than the gospel generic powder rotation. I don't mean to evangelize here in your thread (and lack the experience or authority to do so), but as a newb cham keeper, I've been anxious about making sure...

    Do anyway use repashy calcium plus lod food

    Newb cham keeper here. So using this one supplement, Repashy Calcium Plus LoD, all the time instead of three supplements in rotation is not raising any alarms? I've got the three supplements, but don't have confidence that my chams get all of the dust from any given feeding. This seems...

    Surprise, we've got babies!

    My four month old loves bean beetles. I thought they'd be too small, but he hunts 'em down. Check this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/feeders-fun-insects-culture-140227/ Nick can send you a care sheet on bean beetles (about the easiest of any feeder to care for, no water, just...

    1 year old Female Veiled

    I have a Reptibreeze "Large", and have already moved my veiled from it to a bigger cage. He's about 9 months old, and I personally think he'd need at minimum an "extra large" (2' x 2' x 4') eventually. There is a useful table in this post...

    Breeding Silkworms?

    Nope, they don't. Years of domestication. Covered here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombyx_mori Here's the link others have referenced here before about breeding silkworms as feeders: http://feederinsectbreeding.blogspot.com/p/silk-worm-care-and-breeding.html

    Chameleon crossing the border?

    This guy? http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/4967917449.html Crossed my mind too, but I have other plans. Good looking cham and a good deal, I hope he finds a good home.

    Shaking behavior. Very concerned.

    Could she be seeing something that is causing stress? It is surprising how much they pay attention to anything in sight. If you cut and paste a copy of the How to ask for help sticky in the Health Clinic forum, and fill out as much as you can as well as ideally post a picture of your...

    Baby Quad

    I agree, he's very cute. It is difficult to not give him way more attention than he'd like (which is any pretty much).

    Baby Quad

    I think I'm using your care sheet. Humidity is annoying, I think my hygrometer is playing tricks on me. I've got a drip (but I have to adjust the needle valve two or more times a day to keep it going) and a Crane ultrasonic humidifier, as well as heavy misting three times a day. Still, I'll see...

    My New Enclosures

    I see what you mean about the clamps. You had to find a midget to go inside and adjust one in that second picture. Are the side PVC panels glued to each other? No internal framework?

    Does my chameleon have an URI?

    Just put up a regular light bulb, 60W should do, and see how he responds.

    My New Enclosures

    I can see that the walls are either PVC (more details please) or screen panels - what is the frame made from? Wood? Nice build.

    Is this setup OK?

    What will you do for UVB? You need a separate (tube) light for that, dedicated 6% UVB or more (but not too much). For that size cage, that seems like a lot of heat. You can probably use a regular 60w bulb in a reflector style dome (clamp lamp) to get enough heat. An inexpensive IR laser...
