    Veiled male 6+ months ate vermiculite

    Yes, river stone now top layer for any plants. I searched this forum looking for other accounts of chameleons ingesting vermiculite, but didn't find any. From your reply I gather it is not unusual, and I've seen plenty of cautions about substrate. I just didn't consider an aggressive desire...

    changing a branch color question

    Those look a lot like the "Torka" dried mulberry branches I bought at Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60153453/

    From crickets to roaches advice?

    I regret to report that I didn't try Dubais before setting up what I expect will develop into a colony. Keep your eye on Craigs list - someone may end up getting a great deal on a passel of roaches.

    Where do you get your live insects?

    1. Try the site sponsors 2. Might want to look regionally, I got some from a bit too far away with a high mortality rate 3. I found a good deal on ebay, not a site sponsor (all that have crickets right now are too far away) but I found him based on distance from my zip code -This will...

    First time owner and worried

    He needs an airy environment not a tank, like the top of a tree. He's a tree animal, he should be able to choose to get in the wetness or not, but yes, he's not going to drink from a dish. Keep up the mist but get him out of the tank with a screen top, and don't trust any cheap pet shop...

    Chameleon fountain

    There's only one image, and it doesn't show the back where magnets would attach, but you can see something on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/BIO-BUBBLES-PETS-LLC-Drinking/dp/B00QYT2KFO

    From crickets to roaches advice?

    Okay, so the general consensus is be firm and patient. He won't starve himself to death even if I don't give him anything but new roaches for... weeks? I'm going to be weak and give him a worm on Saturday, I already know.

    From crickets to roaches advice?

    I jumped in and have what I hope will be a decent colony of Dubai roaches and I'm looking for (and searching threads for) advice on transition to staple roaches. I suspect my pet store veiled was fed nothing but crickets and worms, and now I'm trying to get him to eat roaches. I broke down...

    Bump at left hip only

    Here's another image where you can see the bone spur. Nothing to worry about says the exotic vet. I think he's settling in, eating, pooping with white.

    There are some good threads here, search on a brand name "Extech" and you can hit this one: https://www.chameleonforums.com/thermometer-hygrometer-137453/ Caliber is mentioned as well, more hits with that brand. After reading the above, I ordered...

    Setting up new habitat - a few questions

    I have the MistKing "rain dome". For $17.50 it is just what it looks like, three T junctions and a mist head with some bits of tubing. I added an old large plastic tupperware bowl over it to direct mist downward to the screen so it all drips through (and none of it drifts to moisten the lamps)...

    Bump at left hip only

    Thanks for the advice. Henry had his first visit to the vet today for a general exam and to look at this bump. The doctor examined him and the bump, said it was hard and didn't move, and that the rest of his skeleton seems fine (jaw, limbs), and that she thought it was a bone spur. It might be...
