    Eye damage from UVB/UVA.6 ti lights?

    Hey now, no one needs to make unfair assumptions about each other. The OP asked a legitimate question, and doesn't need the thread derailed. It's true that if you've got a 4' tall cage sitting up on a counter or something a few feet off the ground you will inevitably look up into the lights...

    Bradypodion thamnobates

    I know that I found it frustrating with the last import that no one else wanted to necropsy their dead Bradys to find out causes of death. So I know what my female died from (seemed like a congenitally bad heart), but it seems like no one else (that I know of) investigated. So, I don't know what...

    Misting Versus a shotglass?

    Sounds like a strange kind of laziness to me! I can't see why you would advise people NOT to mist!

    Putting Chameleons in Sink or Tub of Water??

    Quick answers are: nope, nope, and nope lol A good misting is definitely preferable, even in cases of constipation.

    Glass Terrarium Reflection Solution

    The thing with glass is that, like your own house windows, you get a mirror effect when it's darker outside than it is inside. So if you keep a glass tank in a basement where the only light in the room is the light sitting on the tank itself it is going to create that effect. However, if you...

    Walking Dead (spoiler!)

    I actually didn't see it coming, maybe that was naive lol. Right towards the end I was like "don't do anything stupid, Beth!" but the gunshot caught me by surprise. Everyone's face afterwards made me misty, I'll admit.

    Walking Dead (spoiler!)

    I added a spoiler warning to the title because the folks out in California haven't gotten a chance to see it yet! And for anyone who is recording it for later. But yea :'(

    Is this a male Mellers chameleon ?

    Hi and welcome! I can't tell from the photos what that is with certainty so I'll leave that up to someone else. But monomorphism doesn't mean that they change their gender at will, that is something else entirely, what it means is that both males and females are visually identical/very similar...

    Well, here goes nothing.

    I would build a cage that is solid on 3 sides but open on the front and top (at least mostly open on the front, and when I mean "open" I mean something like screen.) That will give you the best of both worlds, the closed walls will keep humidity and temperature more stable during winter but the...

    Anyone use REPTAID?

    Jann, did he give a reason? I've tried it a couple times but never with any noticeable difference.I gave it a try because other members on here that I respect with lots of montane species experience recommended it, so I gave it a whirl. But can't say one way or another whether it does...

    Queston on parasites

    Congrats on your new cham! Yes, this is true. A lot of crickets that you buy come with minor things like pinworms and something more difficult things like coccidia. This risk goes up when you give them access to wild feeders, since they're even more likely to carry parasites. Typically a...

    Plant for eating

    Depending on your climate hibiscus is a great option. The leaves and flowers are nutritious and veileds tend to love them. However, they don't tend to grow super well indoors so if you live somewhere where you can leave the plant outdoors most of the time and bring it in now and then or have two...

    Ambanja vs. Nosy Be

    Yea, too soon to say anything for sure. Ambanjas can have a ton of blue as well, so just because he is mostly blue right now doesn't mean anything for certain. Just wait a few more months, see how he turns out :)

    Best place for crickets and roaches

    The guy who owns Roachcrossing.com is also a great source for Florida-legal roaches. He's super nice and has worked with me a lot in the past to get me large bulk orders of legal species, with stuff besides just Discoids (to have a little variety.)

It should be obvious when voting starts, you'll see all the photos listed at once with a little tick to click on to vote.
