I have never been able to keep a cup of 25 alive for very long. 250 is a lot of wax worms. :eek: From what I understand waxworms should only be used as a treat because they are really high in fat. I'm not sure about the nutritional value of the moths tho. Good luck and keep us updated on how...

feeding cup I made a feeding cup out of a Simply Orange oj bottle. I decorated it with vines and put a natural branch perch across the front only to have Rebel crawl inside to sleep. He never ate the crickets that were in there. LOL I have a shaker cup...

I have another question about Penelope's home. At her basking spot the temps range between 81*-82*. Is this a good basking temp for such a young female veiled? (not sure of her age. She is between 2-3 inches nose to vent. It cools off to the low 70's at night. Her lights are on a timer 7am...

Aprox. 3 years ago a friend called and asked if I wanted a female Jackson Chameleon with 18X18X36 screen cage with all the decorations and lights. I went and picked her up that day. Noticed a couple of areas that looked infected and made a vet apt. for Wednesday. Joined the forum She passed...

Penelope seems to be settling in well. She still doesn't like to be misted but I found that if I do it very softly and just a little at a time she tolerates it better. I had her out today and took some pictures. I really wish I knew how old she was. If anyone can give me a estimated age I...

I have learned that when I put on blue garden gloves Rebel is much more willing to let me pick him up. I know its weird but he "attacks my hand" when I am not wearing gloves and doesn't when I put the gloves on. I swear, I always get the strange pets. lol Wouldn't have my little pissy boy...

LOL... You beat me on the Scheff. but I think I did better on the pothos.. I am lucky that there are several garden centers here. I thought Houston Garden Centers was going out of business but I asked and was told that they are just getting ready for the 1000 + Christmas trees that they will...

:eek: Oh my. Now thats funny....

I have been a member for a little while now and I LOVE this forum and the other members. I have had a few people get a little critical and a little rude but thats to be expected with such a large number of members. I have found that most times when I feel like someone is being a little too...

Thank you so much. I'll be able to sleep tonight...lol I am a major worry wort...:D

OK.. Please be patient with me but I have another question about my baby girl Penelope. (Aprox 2" Veiled chameleon) Sometimes when I mist her she will open her mouth real wide and make almost a squeaking noise. I know she doesn't like to be misted because she runs and turns really dark but...

OK... Well, my male veiled is named Rebel. When I went to purchase him and the lady got him out of his cage he jumped and I caught him. My niece said' Well, hes a little rebel" and it stuck. This weekend we purchased (rescued) a tiny little female veiled and we named her Penelope but we call...

I know that adult veiled's can tolerate pretty low temps at night but what about babies. I rescued a baby veiled from Petco and I am not sure of her age. She is aprox 2 inches from snout to vent. She is in a Exo Terra Glass Terrarium - 12 x 12 x 18 inch with a live pothos and fake vines. My...

Seems like most of the problems were posted in 2010-2011. I Googled and could not find anything about current problems with the light or if the old problem had been fixed. I think I will play it safe and take it back. I have a lot of extra clamp lamp fixtures is it a bad idea to get a CFL UVB...

I was told that this light has been associated with eye problems in chams. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can research and see if I need to return the fixture? I picked it up Saturday and if need be I will return it. I picked it up for our Penelope. ( Baby female veiled...

Our local Petco only has a male and we want a female. Plus we don't really want to get one from a big chain pet store. Would rather get one from a breeder. If we can avoid having one shipped that would be great. Thanks for the response.. :)

Oh we know.. lol (not that it will be out of it's LOCKED habitat much...:eek:) Have been doing a lot of research and what she is looking for is a Grammostola or an Avicularia. We are also looking for a female and our local Petco only has a male at this time. We are both a little leery of...

darn.. Do you think I should put another piece of screen under the light? I'm not sure I can return the light. Guess I should do some looking in past posts to see what I can learn. Thanks again, Virginia

Yeah... Penelope ate... Well, while we were out Penelope ate. :) I had put in aprox. 10 small crickets and 5 mini meal worms dusted in cal. with NO d3 and all were gone when I got home and checked on her. I have seen her drink every time I mist. Thanks for any and all advice. I am scared to...

So I am super excited. I decided to stop at my local Houston Garden Center because I saw a big 70% off sign. I am so glad I stopped. I picked up a huge pothos for $9.00 and two 3-4 ft Schefflera's for 7.50 each. I walked out with three great plants for $25.00. I am going to use one of the...
