Isn't that the type of cham that is in Dr. Doolittle?
When I first became interested in chams...and started looking at pictures on the web...I thought the Chamaeleo Trioceros wiedersheimi was the absolute cutest. They are one of the hardest to care for right? That's why I steered away from it...
Kalibr03 - Did you pay with Paypal?
I am going to say "the seller" just to be safe. I filed a claim against (the seller) with Paypal. For me it was a "non-reciept" claim..in which (the seller) has to provide either a proof of shipment (tracking number) or proof of a refund.
For you, if you...
Glad I found this thread
Ok..yes this is gross...:eek:
My chams light comes on every morning right before my daughter catches the bus. After she leaves I give them a good misting with the hot water and then clean the feeding dish and put some fresh food in it. (LOL - before I do some more...
good to know!
Thanks, Eric!
I was hoping that 36" would adequate height and that's what I am leaning toward. I don't mind triming the plants.
Dog kennel trays? Do they look similar to those plastic cat litter boxes? That's what I was picturing at the botom.
I'm going to go ahead and get a...
Ok.... an artist I am not...that is my sister.....but this is what was in my head for my new cham setup :rolleyes:
I'm thinking 48 tall x 24 deep x 24 wide for each of the 2 cages pictured
..or..
36 tall x 24 deep x 24 wide for each cage.
The light fixture is 48" long, so it would...
Thanks to everyone
:eek:
wow, what a response...my head is spinning with all of the options...thank you to everyone for the suggestions, recommendations, and offers! I wish I could buy one from everybody! Tara
yeah LOL..the black ones are dead
LOL..ok, I didn't say it right ..I was tired.
I have no idea about pulpa....
You know how they are an orange color...
I have only seen them in 2 different colors....there is the light orange color and then there is this rich, deep, darker color...Almost...
:confused: Ok, now I am checking out different places to get plants for my chams...like ficus, pothos..whatever works well in the screen enclosures....any advice?
Also wondering about what size plant to get for what size cage...should it reach all the way to the top?
I just keep having more...
;) Amy, everybody deserves a little dessert sometimes!!! I probably have it more than I should!
:eek: Jenna, you are so going to give me nightmares....I'm going to dream about being attacked by crickets!!!!
I still haven't seen one stray cricket! and my house is really small. If you walk...
I think I made an oops! I was ina panick over running out of crickets so fast and I had my hubby pick up some mealworms from a store nearby.
I warmed them up so they started squirming and boy did my chams come fast to check it out! They eyeballed them for a minute and then they both grabbed...
ohhhhhh...........
yes, I wish you were closer! My husband drives out of town to work every week....NC,KY,VA and other areas usually around 10 or so hours away....but not that far. I can't even imagine what shipping for something like that would be.....
Oh wow..I looked it up estimating...
Ok, I have realized what a pain it is going to be with this aquarium, not to mention the adverse effects it could have on my chams...so...
I am going to put my aquarium in the bulletin board and hope for the best! If anyone lives near me and is interested, just let me know. It is in great...

I forgot to answer your question...after many emails, they finally said it was to cold to ship the chams....
Funny, because we were having an early warm spell, and had they shipped on the day we agreed on, they would have been fine. Since the warm spell was over after a few days...
Wow...thanks so much....
Oh my gosh! Somehow all of my crickets are gone already. I posted earlier that they only gave me 71 live ones...and I know I fed them 20 one day adn I could only find like 10 or so alive to feed them today....and the one cham cam charging over and ate them all before...
no..you are NOT cheap
When I first noticed that everyone was buying their crickets throught the mail, I wondered how they arrived alive.
you are not cheap...shipping is expensive. The shipping for a cham is almost the same as a price for a veiled.
It's probably good that I have to wait at...
Thanks so much
ok, so then I won't make it any hotter. I was told earlier that a good heat for them in there would be around 80 degrees and now since you don't recommend any more heat, I think I will stick with that. They can always get warmer up by the basking light and cooler on the other...
I'm in West Virginia
Good to know about the gutload. At least on thing is simple. Looks like I'm going to have to wait at tleast a week before ordering anything:(
I have been neglecting everything else and I just balanced the checkbook:eek:
I have to figure out how to make a hugh payment to...
Mine is a 48" bulb
Thanks, I knew I needed a 48" bulb...but I had thought that there were different wattages in them like regular round bulbs. You know like 25, 40, 75 and 100 watt., but so far I only see the 48" in a 40 watt.
