thanks for the help everyone, I'll work on these this weekend and get some pics up. With any luck I'll have my whole chameleon room up and running by the end of the weekend.

I've been having a hard time finding the right size PVC pipe and fittings to fit the reptarium frames. Fluxlizard, where did you get the pipe? Also, what kind of fittings did you use in place of the connectors for your pvc frame cages?

I have one right now with eggs in it, it does a great job keeping the eggs at 70 even when room temps are up above 80. I have a thermometer in there just in case that I check regularly but so far I haven't seen more than a degree or so up or down. My first one failed but exo-terra sent me a new...

Is this ok? I had some leftovers so I thought I'd feed them off rather than let them go to waste.

The monsoon always worked well for me. I had one hooked up to 2 cages for twice daily misting and I never had any issues. I'm sure it'll get more use once I have to bring the cages in for the winter, I'm going to add 2 more nozzles and see how things go.

Anyone? what about placing their cages side by side so they can see each other for a couple of days before introducing them?

I have two female panthers that are now about 18 months old (a little small, but I guess that's just average for females). I've been supplementing a little extra and feeding heavily for several months now and during they day they exhibit beautful peach coloration with no dark bars. When I...

I have a couple of reptariums that have lost pieces at some point and I want to get them set back up. Does anyone know offhand what size/schedule PVC would fit a 38 and a 22? Has anyone had success replacing parts like this?

Thanks xanthoman, also very good info. Interesting point about the larger crickets, this female seemed to enjoy larger food items so I usually fed her larger crickets and superworms. Perhaps that led to the infection. In any case I completed the second round of treatment today. The infection...

Thanks Atraxia, that is an extremely useful link. I started treatment today by manually removing plaques and swabbing the infected/inflammed areas with betadine solution. I'll keep updating as her condition (hopefully) improves.

Thanks Kinyonga, I was hoping someone might have had the same problem and been able to share what treatment was recommended, but for now I think I'm going to use a mild topical Betadine solution (7%) applied twice daily until I can get her to a vet. Betadine is a good topical but also should be...

Anyone? could use the help asap please!

I'm not sure what the active ingredient in rot guard is but I'd rather use an antibiotic product like betadine or neomycin. Can anyone help me out with what's safe to use? I'd especially appreciate it if anyone who has had similar issues could share what treatment options there are.

well, these temps are recorded from a digital thermometer inside her cage, keep in mind that spot doesn't get much, if any, direct sun. Typical daytime temps have been in the low 90's here, but it is still significantly cooler than South FL. It's definitely mouth rot, her gums are swollen...

I was checking my chameleon collection and I noticed my female Jackson's has developed some mouth rot and it's starting to look bad. I won't be able to get her to a vet until this coming weekend but I am pretty comfortable treating most reptile health problems at home if possible. My question...

one more pic...anyone have experience raising these little guys?

here's a quick pic. Off to pick up some fruit flies!

I had a clutch of pygmys hatch yesterday (R. spectrum I believe) in my terrarium. I removed the adults and a lot of the live plants so I can actually keep an eye on them, and they seem to be in good shape, climbing around and such. I'll have to get some fruit flies for them today and try to bulk...

great info fluxlizard, I've been keeping chameleons outdoors (for the summer months here in new england) for 5-6 years now and never had wildlife problems. I find reptariums are fairly sturdy and the dark screen shields chameleons from potential predators' view. However, I am moving to the...

need a better pic but looks male to me. how old?
