    Good flowering plants

    I have a jungle dawn led and even that wasn’t enough for the hibiscus. But we do have a heavily planted enclosure

    Good flowering plants

    I have a bromeliad that does well. It doesn’t like a lot of water though so have to think about positioning. I also have an orchid. Have killed a couple of hibiscus. Just put a mandevilla in but too soon to tell. Btw I have a panther who doesn’t munch on plants.

    Price for baby jax jax

    I remember when they sold puppies at the mall. Chameleon mills are just as sad.

    White stuff on leaves

    I'd think you could wash it off with soap and non-tap water.

    Chameleon sick for long time now. Need help

    Is your basking bulb burned out or was it just turned off for the pic? Wondering about the new schefflera plant. Were you able to wash the leaves and repot before putting in the enclosure? Not sure if that has anything to do with it but just noticed it in the timeline that you presented. Sorry...

    Alternative misting systems?

    We have this one. Works well but the timer set up is challenging https://www.climist.com/climist-cyclone-misting-system.html

    New to Chameleons Need Help With Set Up

    Good for her (and her future Cham) for taking her time doing research! You might find a t5ho fixture that comes with the correct bulb for less. No color lights in the dome fixture. Not good for eyes. FYI. Misting system such as Mistking or Climist as well as a fogger which is used at night...

    Won’t shoot tongue

    I agree. There is also an emerging entity of fatty lung disease as well in humans. I also think the similarities in metabolic bone diseases are really interesting too. I’m an endocrinologist so you know we geek out over this kind of stuff.

    New to Chameleons and worried

    So the general consensus is dust with calcium without d every feeding except every 7th day use calcium with d alternating with a multivitamin such as reptivite. I picked Sunday as the day I do either ca w D or the mvi. The way I dust is I tap the feeders into cup and just dip my clean tongs...

    Won’t shoot tongue

    Found this in an old post. Subcutaneous air from a respiratory infection. Wild. 6 months would seem a rather long course for that though. Please let us know what the vet says. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/swelling-of-casque-and-cheeks.155663/

    Veiled or panther?

    Keep in mind all of the other expenses that go into caring for a chameleon too.

    WHICH STRENGTH OF UVB LIGHT?

    You must like green creatures with cool eyes! Is the top screen or is it all glass? How do you manage ventilation? I know how labor intensive it is to set up a bioactive enclosure but I’m still thinking you’re going to need to go bigger. They grow pretty fast and benefit from ample height. For...

    WHICH STRENGTH OF UVB LIGHT?

    Aha-the metric system! So, your enclosure is 17"wide, 17" deep and 24" tall if my conversion is correct. Your cham is a veiled that is male or female and is how old? Sorry if I missed that in another post. Regardless, you are going to need to upgrade the enclosure to a bigger size like 2’ x 2’...

    WHICH STRENGTH OF UVB LIGHT?

    That unit is pretty short. What size is your enclosure? You want a unit that is close to the length of the enclosure. It will also give general viewing lighting as you say but does not provide a basking spot. You can use a regular incandescent bulb for a basking bulb in a clip on type workshop...
