Just wanted to add a pic of how this looks inside the enclosure. I folded down the sides of my fabric planter because my cage is only 3 ft tall and I didn’t want to take away from my chameleons usable space. I think the square 2x2 would also work ok but the sides will not be taught unless filled...
That is amazing!😍 It would a perfect Barbie dolls chameleon. I hope this tiny chameleon gets the wildlife protection it needs to keep from becoming extinct. The deforestation of Madagascar, and other rainforests around the world, is going to leave our future generations at a loss of soo many...
Actually, Veileds are going to be nearly impossible to get (trust me I’ve been looking into it too) they have not been seen here on Oahu. They’ve been spotted on Maui and one seen on Kauai, however to get one brought here would be considered illegal.
“Regulatory Status: Hawaii Injurious...
If you drill holes into the plexiglass you might could zip tie it to the cage. I have my sandi hanging from the ceiling, I used heavy duty adhesive hooks to mount so I didn’t have to find the stud. For the water tray, make sure it’s VERY shallow so your cham cannot drown.
Does anyone know the nutritional difference between the larvae and the flies? I understand there’s the issue of the flies not being the best candidates for gutloading, but as far as the content of the feeders themselves. There was a post a while back on the calcium content being higher in the...
😅 I usually lay a cardboard on the bed under her hangout spots but there have been a couple of whoopsies. But it’s not so bad now that I wait for her to leave a pile of 💩 before I let my guard down. 😂
I completely agree! 😍 It’s an awesome experience when your chameleon can be soo close to you without being afraid. I have a free range tree set up from my chams enclosure up and over my bed with a branch she can use to climb near the head of the bed if she wants and here is where she is rn.
That seems like it 👍 his label says “foliage hanging basket” which is not helpful, it would be nice if they listed what exact plant it is and the water and light requirements. Some say how much sun but usually that’s about it.
Sorry dear, getting an enclosure is one of the more pricy items on the checklist. I personally use a 2x2x3 butterfly cage but I have a smaller female. This will work fine if you have a female panther. For a male I would use the 35x35x59 butterfly cages, they’re around $60 and can work well with...
I feel that we are amidst a movement in the change of husbandry requirements for chameleons. The information is still being studied and collected, thanks to the passion we all have for these awesome creatures. Maybe one day there will be almost as much correct info about chams as there is about...
That’s a great question! I am curious what the other members on the forum are using. I know there is a way to setup RO systems at home. I believe distilled works as well, although I can’t say from experience.
That depends on your household climate. People in extremely cold or hot or dry areas will have an easier time keeping in a more enclosed cage (the key is airflow).
Yes, the recommended basking temps are the same for both, but the daytime humidity is slightly different (30-50 for Veileds/50-60 for Panthers). Unless you have a female veiled which it is recommended to keep them slightly cooler for egg reduction and longevity. So for a girl 80 degrees basking...
Yes, to be honest I was almost in tears being so frustrated with them. It was one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve had. But it makes me more conscious of whom I’m actually making a purchase from when on Amazon.
The most recommended temps for panthers are 80-85 max for adults. Around 78-82 for juveniles. Depending on your humidity average misting schedule is 2 minutes in the morning at/around lights on and 2 minutes after lights off. If your in a low humidity area you can add a couple minutes to those...
I’ve recently upgraded to the Sansi bulb that is recommended here and it truly lights up the enclosure. My smaller full spectrum flex lamp didn’t put out but a fraction of this led (and died within 5 months). It is a great investment. My first thoughts plugging this in was.. 🤩
Btw, 90 degrees...
It was thru an Amazon seller that was selling as a set of 2, I filed complaints with Amazon. The company accused me of abusing the Amazon return policy, even though I was well with my return window. 😡
And I love that song! 😍
🤣 Big river in Brazil!
I think I might be a good idea to contact Arcadia and let them know just in case it may have been a whole batch that could’ve been improvised during assembly. The contact email is [email protected] and they were swift at responding to my inquiries.
