I may have missed it, but I didn't see anywhere anyone mention anything about a laying bin. Your girl will need one soon.

Good advice. You catch a simple cold but by the time you're done googling the symptoms you are convinced you're dying of acute liver disease, have two failing kidneys, multiple cancers and most likely advanced stages of AIDS. Google is not your friend. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The only thing I have to clean is the branches from time to time. Everything else is addressed with the cleaning crew.

Eating soil is by many believed to be a way they supplement for missing minerals. I have a a bioactive setup. I don't use rocks or pebbles. Only moss as the top layer and he's fine. Edit to add that the way I stopped ours from doing it is by diversifying the gut feed of his insects and...

I am pretty sure any reputable supplement will do just fine. You also don't need the second meter at this point, unless you really want it. You can roughly convert the measurements. Search this forum. We've had a discussion on this topic recently. Search for "metal halide" and the posts should...

There are really two approaches you can take. The most accepted one is to measure overall UVB and UVA exposure and focus on Ferguson UV zones. The meter best suited is Solarmeter 6.5 or similar. Second is to measure UVB output and basically compare it to the sun's output. Solarmeter 6.2 or...

Food + basic psychology. Chameleons are naturally very skittish. When you read about their natural environment, it all becomes quite clear really. They grow fast for a reasons and they are very aware of you being there for a reason. They see us as predators, by default. When fall comes in...

That is exactly how mine look. I just put them in a plastic bag and shake them until they are coated. I'll take a picture next time I do it.

There is nothing wrong with solar glow bulbs. It's a mercury vapor bulb and it will provide both UVB and UVA. What you really need to use with it is a UVB meter to make sure the output is sufficient for vitamin B photosynthesis. You could absolutely use it as a single source of light. Just...

Earthworms on paper are ideal feeders. They have the right ration of calcium to phosphate. They are actually very high in calcium, protein and low in fat. The reason why people here do not recommend them is out of fear for parasites. They are known carriers in the wild. I don't believe there is...

It's not a cause for immediate alarm. If she's active and eating normally there is likely nothing to worry about. Make sure you're misting her regularly so she stays hydrated and keep an eye on her. If things don't improve over the next few days then consider scheduling a visit.

Your chameleon needs to see a veterinary psychiatrist immediately. She is clearly in need of a mood regulator. This is not normal. Just kidding... they are an enigma. You got one that is very friendly or thinks you're a tree. Either way... Enjoy it.

Rio is jelly. Ready to go outside... waiting for spring to finally come, if it ever comes. I am wondering what he's thinking... Probably "why does this hairless ape annoy me so much and what does does a chameleon have to do around here to some hornworm" :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Wait 15 minutes... I am being a little fictitious, but it’s true. They seem to shift preferences quite easily. One day they love one feeder and the next day they look at you like you’re trying to poison them. Just keep offering a variety and he will eventually bite.

Not a cynic. I can tell you for a fact that very few factories make them. They are all coming from the same source. This is common. I have been to so many, many factories in China, Taiwan and Vietnam and it’s funny to see various brands side by side in the same factory. The world is such a small...

Beautiful Vailed. They go through moods, I think. Ours is right now in his “teenage” years. Today we advanced our taming training to me touching him without any food or treats. He was okay with it. He had that “you feed me, so I won’t kill you but really don’t do that again” look. Progress...

Congrats! I am so jelly right now.

I would agree on cost. It may not be an issue for you, but you should be aware. The setup, proper lighting and a good misting system, variety of feeders. It all adds up fast. I have also spent upwards of $1,000 easily at this point.

I agree. Have a vet take a look at it. That is a one docile Vailed by the way.

First, I am sorry to hear about your loss. Don't give up. It's a human nature to try to find correlation between seemingly related events. The reality is that being frightened is not the likely reason he died. The heavy breathing may have been a symptom of some type of respiratory infection...
