My hubby found a hatchling out in the desert (shame on people dumping invasive species) and picked it up. Turtle was about 1.5 inches in diameter, when found at the end of July (lunchbox pic and basking pic). Now he is a beast! I could barely get a shot of him and I need to get a larger set up...

Yeah, no covering during daytime. Thanks for the heads up on the bulbs.

Goodnight Littlefoot, you were much loved, as evidenced by your glorious casque. Deepest condolences to you Kurty Birdy, and wishing you peace, healing, and many beautiful memories.

I am one of those heathens that has to sleep with the overhead fan on year round and I live in the CA desert. Her night temps and humidity are pretty steady with it running all night. Humidity at avg of 67% (measured at bottom of the viv) and ambient temp average of both thermometers is 66.7F...

I put in a 10x10x10 planter and put the damp play sand in, it’s filled to about 2 inches below the lid now (at least 8 inches deep). I need to get more sand out of the garage tomorrow. I’ve made her a demonstration hole in the sand. I also added a Tradescantia zebrina which I kept on my gecko...

The bin is 6-7 inches deep and it’s filled with 6 inches of sand. I don’t see scratch marks near or around my pseudo hole and she doesn’t use the branch I have sticking into it. My plan was to transfer her to the trash can as soon as I saw scratches. She does poop into it. :LOL:

Great ideas about only covering the bottom half and getting a baby monitor! I will definitely implement these. As for not using the in viv lay bin, I guess I am nervous? I was trying to replicate successful members practices and figured mine wasn’t as good because I am still new to the hobby. I...

I’ve been trying to follow this care sheet pretty closely: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/egg-laying-and-the-laying-bin.345/ And I was trying to implement the “kinyonga mini lay bin then upgrade to jannb trashcan” method. Kinyonga mentioned she used Repcal in one of her posts a few...

Do you mean I should keep her completely covered like this every day? Because I need to check the lay bin, feed and clean.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled, female, 14 months. Eight months in my care. Handling - Only when she approaches me and tries to get out of the enclosure. Also if I have to change up plants, re attach fake foliage to the enclosure walls — this has happened twice since I have had her...

Roz chowed down! And as a double bonus, she began eating raspberry from my fingers this week! Good Cham Week for me!

I hate the smell too. Before I got my Cham I had switched my crested gecko to dubia. The smell vs enrichment payoff was not worth it to me. Now, I feed primarily red runner (Turkish) roaches and dubia. Dubia don’t have any scent that I can smell and the red runners sometimes smell faintly of “a...

This is great news! I was hoping you’d find him. Kitties deserve wet food tonight!(y)

Are you in the UK? I have seen many Cham owners in the UK use locusts as feeders. I think there are even some threads on here about it. Maybe your parents wouldn’t mind them since they don’t mind crickets.

Definitely the least exciting feeder. Edited to add: Boring but nutritious. I think it’s a great tag line! Haha!

I stand by dubia too. They are excellent feeders.

Local herp and insect breeder sold me some red runners and I’ve been really pleased. Roz (9 month old veiled female) likes movement and these guys deliver. I had weaned her off superworms as her staple to Dubia but she went on a hunger strike for 3 days because they were too boring. I bought...

Still working on the upgraded enclosure (24x18x36 ExoTerra). I need more horizontal branches. Any suggestions?

Story! Story! Story! Also I am contemplating an beardie. I have a good friend who takes hers everywhere on a harness. He is her little soulmate, I swear. I worry I don’t have the kind of time needed to be a human companion to a beardie. My tree frogs don’t care so long as they eat and have...
