Bought, can't wait!

Thanks for asking, he's still doing pretty good, he's not eating a ton, about 1-2 2" hornworms a day and poops every 3 days or so, which still look hydrated but smell terribly. The vet appointment is on 7/6 to get the meds, so anxious to get those going while he's still healthy and strong and...

How do you buy online, where's the link?

thanks all, I buy silks from morifeeders, beastmode and hornworms from josh's and DBD pet, I will no longer feed crickets since that's where I believe my cham got his coccidia

Just wondering, since I know crickets do and dubia roaches do not. My guy was diagnosed with Coccidia and I'm wondering if I need to get rid of my silks and horns or if they're okay to feed him. I discarded my crickets and dubias just in case. Thanks!

Chameleons are not illegal in Maine, they're considered part of the unrestricted species list, which means "Unrestricted List (PDF) (no permit needed): Maine law allows the Department to maintain a list of species of fish and wildlife, including tropical fish and invertebrates, which do not...

Can dubia roaches carry the coccidia? Can they do so if it came from the crickets? (mine just got diagnosed so curious as I still have dubia but threw out all the crickets (released them into the wild)

Just got fecal test results back today mine has Coccidia high count what does this mean? How to treat? Is it fatal? How did he get it?

Fingers crossed!

Super helpful thanks! Sounds like I just need to supplement with D3 on a normal schedule if I can't get the UVI past 1.7 without raising the basking branch heat to go over 88-90 degrees.

Very interesting! So sounds like if I keep my T8 10.0 where it is so the UVI is around 2.8 I won't need calcium w/D3 supplementation after all? Do I then still need to use or calcium w/out D3 supplementation?

This was super helpful, thank you! The above is for his temporary home while he's with me in Maine for a month and had to improvise how to replicate his permanent setup but also fit in a car (see here if you want to see my McGuyver attempt at a temp cage)...

Thanks, have read that so many times, still can't figure out answers to my ?s :(

Okay it's almost finished. I've affixed strong magnets to the sides of the mesh butterfly cage (which is bigger than his permanent setup by a few inches), then affix magnets to the various branches. I've setup a light hanging rod to suspend the SolarGlo 2-1 bulb, I've dialed in the UVI to be...

UPDATE: Since I have a solarmeter 6.5r and I use a SolarGlo PT2334 - 80 watt 2-in-1 bulb, I've been able to dial in the heat/light source pretty ideally. My solarmeter 6.5r reads around UVI 1.3-1.7 at his basking branch depending where I move the meter under the blulb's reach where it shines on...

A few questions as I dial in my lights... I have a solarmeter 6.5r and I use a SolarGlo PT2334 - 80 watt 2-in-1 bulb. My solarmeter 6.5r reads around UVI 1.3-1.7 at his basking branch depending where I move the meter under the blulb's reach where it shines on the branch, and the temperature...

Great advice, thanks! I did read somewhere that keeping them in a dark place is less stressful bc if he can see around then he might get too stressed about what's going on? Also, I've been finding bird things are becoming gadgets to use for chameleons, like this transporter for a bird that might...

I haven't built the temp enclosure yet, once I do I will measure that. Just wondering if I could get ahead of the curve by calculating distance for this bulb before I set it up.
