pothos will get at least 4 or 5 feet if you don't trim it but its so tough you can just hack it where you want to trim it. Its a vine so you have to make it go where you want.

Be careful of what type of screen. I think you need aluminum. I think the fiberglass can get chewed by feeders or it melts or something.

I mostly feed dubias but making the switch to orange heads. My chams have gotten tired of them from time to time but I just feed them something else for a week or so. +1 on the orange heads. But be mindful, they seem to take a little longer to get the colony going. I think they take a bit...

Veildes are kinda like the old man down the street. Even the nice ones will yell at you if you walk on their lawn. Avoid the gloves as much as you can. I am guessing your mother doesnt do as much for him. things like removing him to clean the cage. Its probably dump the food, spray the...

I can try to find an appropriate UV sterilizer. I mostly know the big ones. I once owned a wholesale business of ornamental fish where many tanks ran on one system and the UV sterilizer was about 4feet tall. Same principal, I just need to find its little brother. you could also plumb several...

To make it work you would need a UV sterilizer built in and even then, idk how much bacteria would accumulate on the leaves and such. The water coming out of the sterilizer would be clean but as it travels up the tube an runs back down the waterfall, there would have to be bacteria for it to be...

Fountains were a main stay for several years and sometimes they live despite the fountain.... Not because of.

I totally get the concept and thought of this myself. I know aquariums very well. After a minute of thinking, i realized it was know good. Its fine for certain critters. For instance, aquatic turtles should have bio and mechanical filtration to avoid a breeding ground for e coli and other...

Bio filtration is what keeps a fish tank going. Problem is it takes about 5 weeks to build up the bacteria and if you clean it out, you will start over. If the power goes out, you start over. Even adding water to a small system could cause an issue. This works by actually culturing a good...

I have giant vietnames. Real cool but dont eat ivy which is a pain in winter. Some species eat hawthorn but that will make them toxic. Chams love sticks and you can put some in the cage and let them hunt. The biggest problem is space and time... A 10 gallon tank of dubias would probably...

So he is still very young... daily feedings are best. I feed in the morning so they have all day to digest it. I suggest getting dubias (or orange heads my new favorite) asap because when then little guy is a year old, 15 cent crickets will get expensive and roach colonies take a long time to...

Pothos is by far my favorite. They can go a while without water or can live with a flood. They can take an extended time without much light.. they don't flourish but they live. When I first got into chameleons in 1997, pothos were concidered by many to be the only truely safe plant. Even...

Light a few candles, play some Barry White... wait that's for her. Seriously though... is he feeding well? is he getting plenty to eat? how many hours of daylight? You could try (this is just a theory) adding a half hour of daylight so It's like spring even though they come from places that...

A veiled with an attitude? Who would have guessed? LOL.

How old is your cham? The schedule is basically the same for older chams (somewhere around 8-12 months depending on who you ask) you are only feeding 3-4 times a week. Once that happens, you are skipping the dustings without d3. Since you are new to keeping chams.... Feeder variety is key...

Good info and some things I haven't thought of. Like how its still brighter outside in the shade than in a cham cage. Which I should have since I do indoor gardening.

I am by no means an expert on wild chameleons but my understanding has always been the find a basking area, warm up, then spend the rest of the day under cover in deep cover. My pets do this in their cage. after 10 am the seldom are in the top half of the cage.

I alternate... out of laziness. It's been going well for me. Right now I have a ton of adult black soldier flies so they are getting those. In a few days when I run out, I will be feeding some stick insects because I need to thin their numbers. Then I will feed dubias until I pupate some more...

Hibiscus are sun lovers if I am not mistaken. They require a lot of light to thrive. I am guessing the Hibiscus needs more light than what the cham would appreciate. If you live in a warm area, you could probably have 2 plants where 1 is in the cage and 1 is outside and then switch them every...

Didn't have much time to reply earlier. Having several staples is better. Chams will often get tired of anything you feed them all the time. I use maybe 40% roaches, 40% BSF, 15% super worms and 5% other. this is a guestimate as I don't get too scientific with it. I keep Vietnamese stick...
