Question about gut loading: I been researching keeping feeder insect alive long term and possibly breeding. I see it recommended to gut load about 24-48 hrs before feeding them to your cham, but I would like to know if you guys separate the "chosen ones" into another gut loading-specific bin or...

After looking at it, some of the stuff was posted by another member about his DIY build, post #62. You don't have to go through all that. How does CRI factor into plant lighting? I know from aquatic plants that they like red and blue light for photosynthesis, correct? Is that what CRI is...

I haven't got into high tech yet. Pretty low PAR lights and easy plants. I was thinking about getting more into it, then I wanted a chameleon! Haha.

Not yet. Haven't taken the plunge lol. Then in my main tank, my fish started destroying my plants

Awesome thanks

Schefflera arboricola, couple different pothos, maranta, dracena, maybe more.

I have read through this thread after being directed here from another thread about lighting. I don't understand the technical talk but my question is: after having it, do you recommend the pool bulb for plants over the JD?

That's the one I ordered too. I got it for $85 on Amazon. Going to get a set of dragon ledges I think. What are you thinking for a misting system? I really like the rain nozzle setup.

Talked to Todd last night about lighting and he gave me lots of other great advice too. Too much to post here, I would recommend giving him a call. He is extremely willing to help and answer any questions, and will give you advice based in your plans or current setup. I would also recommend...

Yes it helps a lot thank you for your input.

Wait until I talk to Todd, I will let you know what he says or if I think you should call him as well.

I have planted fish tanks so I know at least a little about lighting.

Use organic soil, and put a layer of gravel/rocks on top so the cham can't ingest the dirt. I'm using pothos, schefflera (umbrella tree), and probably maranta (prayer plant), possibly fittonia. I think UVB helps plants, but it's not full spectrum 6500k.

Definitely live plants, I'll probably use fake as well until the live plants fill out.

Looking through other threads I have seen your posts and I know you have been researching as much as I have. I actually got in touch with Todd from lightyourreptiles.com and I am going to be talking with him tonight about lighting. As far as feeders, it seems like dubia roaches are high in...

What light fixtures do you guys use? I have been looking at lightyourreptiles.com. Do you like UVB bulbs in a longer style like a T5 or a single dome bulb? Any experience with the jungle Dawn plant bulbs? I've seen lots of good reviews. Update: I am now leaning towards a veiled chameleon and a...

One more question, do any of you feed freeze-dried foods as opposed to live? I have seen that some people say they won't eat them unless they are live, but people say the same thing about some fish that I have, and I have had success transitioning fish to my preferred food (but I still feed them...

Yeah the ledges are a good idea.

Lots of good info there, thanks. Are their cages on the higher end price-wise?
