I have seen mine do the same, but very rarely. His cage is by the window in my office. He's actually pretty chilled in general. Tolerates handling and rarely gets worked up. One day out of nowhere he started hissing and getting all bent out of shape. He's done this maybe two or three times...

A widely held assumption is that they eat dirt to get some nutrients they may be missing. Here's what I would personally recommend. Offer him collared greens, veggies, fruit. Finely cut. Also, gut feed his feeders the same diet of fruit, veggies and a good commercial feeder and he'll most likely...

The wedges go on the outside. I used a screwdriver to poke a hole. Push the nozzle through carefully. The screw will hold the edges of the hole. Nothing to worry about. In fact, I had to ultimately skip the support brackets because my cage has those useless LED lights. The screen will support...

If it was up to me, I would still take him to a vet immediately. Meanwhile, you should fill out the info below. There are very knowledge people here and they may be able to shed some light. But... again, it sounds like a medical issue that requires immediate attention from a vet. Chameleon...

This sounds like a medical emergency. Have you taken him to a vet?

I see your point, but it could be ETL listed. Lot’s of factories I know are moving products over to ETL due to cost. That wouldn’t be unusual. The OP should be able to tell us what’s on the label. I agree that no listing would be a major “no, no.”

I have been inside of many Chinese factories. No one can match the quality of manufacturing you’ll find in China. Cheap products are cheap no matter where they are made. It’s not inherently a Chinese issue. If the appliance is listed and has been built to specs, it isn’t any less safe than...

We have a cat and a dog and there is absolutely no problem. I would say with a proper setup you should have no concerns.

Same here. He settles in the same spot inside the plant every single night about 20 minutes before lights out. They are on a timer and he seems to know it.

For what it's worth, I would personally recommend metal halide setup such as Zoo Med HID system or Exo Terra Sunray. This is what I am using and our Vailed seems to be thriving. He's been more active and the plants love it. In the past few years, metal halide systems have really changed...

You, sir, are tempting me... :LOL:

Fantastic. Congratulations. I would buy one in a heartbeat, but I think my wife may kill me if I bring home another lizard... :LOL:

Conservation is always a good idea and if these steps help restore and preserve the natural habitat of all plants and animals on this magnificent island, then we're all better for it. That's just my two cents.

You need to take him to a vet as soon as possible. There isn't much anyone here can do to help in what seems to be an emergency situation.

I couldn’t tell you, but sounds like she may be egg bound. Only a vet can diagnose and help solve this problem.

Good. Keep us posted. I hope all goes well.

A hummingbird... Jesus, that is grotesque.

I would recommend you take her to a vet as soon as possible.

How big was the hornworm, too. A big meal could keep him happy for a day or two. I’ve also noticed ours seems to slow down a little when shedding. Then his appetite picks up again.

Mercury vapor bulbs I believe have a wider beam, more like 130 degrees plus. One option is to buy a higher wattage bulb and simply hang it slightly higher to increase the spread.
