My chams were the same way, hated being misted and I always had a dripper going in addition to misting. I used a Monsoon automatic misting system (which is crap by the way). Then I switched over to an Aquazamp system with a raindome. The mist came out so fine that they did not mind it at all...

The answer to this question is yes.

Very cool pictures!

Thank you Dr. O. It is most certainly and deservedly a felony. Perhaps while in jail his co-residents will perform some bathroom surgery on him! Aside from the illegality how one could think performing a surgery without anesthesia would not get the reaction it got is astounding. In addition to...

I have identical containers so I put the egg cartons from one tub to the other with what ever roaches stay attached. I have several (3 or 4) home depot buckets with decreasing hole sizes and have them stacked one inside the other; the very bottom bucket has no holes. So I dump everything from...

I don't think he meant you! You would be a willing stand in right?:D

Lots of folks use ficus in the cage. I personally don't like them. Well I like them but not how they act! They are beautiful in the store but move them into the cham cage and voila, naked tree! I am going to stick to schefflera and palms, with some orchids for color.

Veileds are easy to sex. Based on the second picture I would say female. Males have a little spur on the rear foot and I don't see one in the photo. If you want to attach a better picture of the rear foot looking back to front it will be easier to tell.

The standard practice is no substrate of any kind. Most folks keep their plants in the pots and cover the soil with large rocks, like river rocks, to keep the chams from eating the dirt. I am not sure about rhubarb but I would steer clear of it. I know the leaves contain oxalates that are...

So sorry to read about your Thor. I know how heartbreaking this is. I lost both my boys within months of each other. It was awful to feel so helpless and watch them be sick and struggle to recover. I think it would have been easier if they had gone suddenly. Either way it is hard. He was a...

Here is a link to the care sheets for veiled chams:https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ You need to separate the chams, they cannot be housed together. You are ok as far as heat but you need to provide a UV light source they need this to properly metabolize calcium. I...

Wax worms are rather fatty and should not make up the majority of his diet. You could try silkworms or phoenix worms. Stay away from mealies and supers as they are fatty as well. It could be the reason he only wants wax worms too. I have heard that the chams can get fixated on one particular...

Sometimes it takes a while for them to feel comfortable. If you go to the forum health clinic and find the form how to ask for help and fill out the form answering the questions as completely as possible we can help you give your cham the best environment.

Welcome to the forums; first take all the information Petco gave you and throw it away. Here is a link to the caresheet for panthers: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/. From your photos I am leaning toward female but not a %100 sure. As mentioned, no substrate in the...

I am sorry to tell you this but the Monsoon is a piece of crap. If there is any way you can return it I would. I bought one a couple years ago and it worked fine for a few months and then it stopped. The timer would not work and the dial to set the length of spray time would only work if it...

I am not sure what you mean by "on the same level as carrots". All of the occasional foods are high in oxalates. This substance binds with calcium to form calcium oxylate which are tiny crystals that sort of get "stuck" in the tubules that make up the kidney causing renal damage. And by...

You can also feed them a variety of fresh fruit and vegies. They are not particular about ripeness so they get all my overly ripe fruit.

I don't think there really is anyway to predict how long until the pupa will hatch into a moth. In nature it takes 2-3 weeks but I know that it can take months indoors and I was shocked at how big the moth is. Did not expect that large of a critter from that small brown case! As long as it is...

As a general rule, lights are on 12 hours and off 12 hours. If your heat source is one of those red lamps it should go off as well. Chams can tolerate temps as low as 50F at night. If you are concerned about them having heat at night then you can use a ceramic heat emitter. It will give off...

Pigglett79 has a blog dedicated to the care and raising of both silkworms and hornworms; I do not think that the hornworm moths need a tomato plant exclusively to lay eggs and I believe this is covered in the blog.
