    MistKing Pump not working

    Is the reservoir placed above the pump? The pump can't suck water from the reservoir if it is below the pump. Also, have you removed the caps from the mist heads?

    Incandescent bulbs

    You pay more because one says "Basking bulb" and has a photo of a lizard on the box. A standard, household, incandescent flood bulb is the exact same bulb and costs 20% of the pet shop price.

    Incandescent bulbs

    Are they specifically ILLEGAL in California? I get these on Ebay for less than $2 a bulb

    Banded crickets vs standard pet shop crickets

    To be honest... I just stomp on them. Then pick them up with a paper towel. I'm too out of shape to chase a damned cricket around the house

    Water

    Maybe I'm just lucky with my tap water. Its relatively hard, but still works perfectly in my MISTKING. I think part of that is the absolute power of the pump. I have back up nozzles. I'd planned to swap them out a couple times a year and clean the other set in some LIME-A-WAY. But, so far, my...

    Banded crickets vs standard pet shop crickets

    The bowl/container that I usually dust my feeders in is pretty tall. The banded crickets can jump clean out of it with a single hop! They also don't neccesarily stay in the feeder cups....

    I finally got bitten!

    I'm posting updates on his MBD on another thread. But he's making progress. I purchased him from an unscrupulous pet shop with MBD. Fellow forum members caught it. My vet confirmed it. And he's being treated. We go back to the vet for more Xrays this Wednesday. Thanks

    VOHEMAR Chameleon with MBD updates

    Maybe I'm wishful thinking. But his arms/elbows look a lot more V shaped and not quite as much like a U

    Water

    For some reason, I was sure that distilled water was bad for you. https://www.healthline.com/health/can-you-drink-distilled-water I was mistaken.

    Banded crickets vs standard pet shop crickets

    I just received my Banded crickets from Josh's frogs. There was not a single dead cricket in the tub! I'm curious to see how much more hardier they are. My first observation is that they are physically larger and heavier bodied. And that their chirping is more pleasant somehow. Less harsh than...

    VOHEMAR Chameleon with MBD updates

    He isn't "free range" fed at all. Everything he eats, he just grabs out of his cup within a few inches of his face with a quick flick of the tongue. No long distance strikes. This won't be an issue.

    Josh's frogs?

    I've made several purchases from them. The first one was a mid level MISTKING system. It arrived with parts missing. Josh's frogs took care of it. I have their SOLARMETER 6.5R. And I actually have an order of their Banded Crickets arriving tomorrow

    Drainage

    I did have a 100 gallon aquarium that a glass shop drilled a 2" hole in. They used a diamond abrasive wheel. And that was tempered glass... Maybe make a few phone calls and see if its economically feasible. Then you can attach a PVC bulkhead. Etc. You could also remove the bottom glass and...

    Water

    Purified if you MUST. RO is still good. Do not use Distilled. I use straight tap water and in about 14 months, my tips are all still spraying just fine. However, all tap water is not created equally!

    VOHEMAR Chameleon with MBD updates

    We go back to see Dr. Pardini again next Wednesday the 17th. I'll take photos of the newest xray. (If I can) Thanks for the information about his tongue. The last time he shot it out. Maybe 3 weeks ago, he had issues with getting it back in his mouth. He looks fine. His mouth and tongue LOOK ok...

    I finally got bitten!

    Those Knights Anoles are BRUTAL

    I finally got bitten!

    That's just what both of my male Veileds do.

    I finally got bitten!

    I've been bitten with much more force by much smaller lizards. A blue tail skink bites like a pair of needle nosed pliers and even a small Knights Anole can bring a tear to a grown man's eye. This was a 3 out of 10.

    Fallen chameleon from screen window

    Coiled CFL are not ideal for a Chameleon. They broadcast uvb in a very small area and they are bright enough to injure eyes. Get yourself a T5 HO Strip Florescent

    Fallen chameleon from screen window

    Is your UVB "BULB" a screw in coiled CFL or a linear T5 tube UVB? And your food items need daily dusting with calcium. And with D3 calcium once a week to 10 days.
