He would probably drop dead

Let me go tell my wife I’m giving us all rat tapeworms. My gastroenterologist will love this when he does my colonoscopy!

Kobe over there doing a pump fake

When we eat, our tongue helps maneuver food toward our teeth on one side of our mouth and the other. I’ve seen my chameleons’ tongues do the same. Without a tongue I wonder if she does a chomp chomp chomp at the intake and swallows feeders whole essentially. On another note, my veieled...

I love that juke he did at the end before snapping it up!

No problem! Here’s a pic of my side-by-side enclosures for reference

If you ask me, I would just store the double dome in case you have insects later. That double dome is about $75.00 at Petsmart so don’t throw it out. Just get a little cheap 5.5” dome at your pet store for $25.00. Don’t get a deep dome. I have attached a pic of what’s probably best. And...

You absolutely can sit them right on top of the enclosure. I put my Jungle Dawn in front, then the UVB, and the heat lamp goes in the back corner. Just make sure you use the wired probe to set your basking branch at the correct height under the heat lamp. I like 40 and 50 watt incandescent...

I would be worried my cham would eat bugs that ate the bait. I used compressed air duster cans to kill my pests. Holding the can upside down releases freezing gas that kills them instantly. That and rubbing alcohol. There are also essential oils which are harmless but confuse ants so they...

Superworms last forever. Silkworms also last a couple of weeks so you should never be out of emergency feeders if you have those two coming biweekly. Get crickets in bulk and do research on proper keeping so they last and possibly multiply. Also grasshoppers live for up to a year and get...

Teach me your ways!

An often overlooked method for increasing and maintaining humidity is a good old spray on the screens. A Mist King can’t do this. Get a good hand sprayer and hit your screens with some lovin after you’ve soaked the interior of your enclosure. This creates a moisture buffer and will hold...

I actually considered buying an enclosure with all the right stuff, building it out with branches and pothos and raising chams until their big and established and then selling them locally at cost so (vetted) newbies could have a chameleon without being scared of killing their first one. They...

Oh great now I want a female panther. Also, let her climb on that palm tree by your windows. She will love it!

I fed two full sized adult Carolina mantids last year and it didn’t last very long at all!

I can’t believe that’s real!

I want an acrylic enclosure for the beautiful unobstructed view but I’m concerned about retention of heat and humidity, adding PC fans to manage it all, and the stress from reflections

I don’t think this has anything to do with the branches. Poor buddy I’m so sorry you have to deal with the stress of this. I hope he’s going to be alright. There are so many variables with adopted Chams.

They don’t care because they breed in the tens of thousands and if a few hundred die it’s just at cost (which is nothing) and a cost of doing business. AND they’re certainly not feeding big burger and dragon fuel lolol
