*Poke.....

yeah, this seems like a hard one to get an answer to. there are many variables..You'd think with how important temps are, though, that more people would be interested in this.. Here's an idea: Post your chams current temp and tell whether he/she's basking or not! I'll start: Male panther, 1...

What is a typical temp of your basking chameleon?

Thanks Steve! Good to know they are safe. I'm going to give it a shot.

I have some fish oil caps that are old and i was going to throw away.. Any benefit to giving these to my dubia?

yes you are correct, it is the other way around. calcium w/o d3 at most feedings and d3 once or twice a month.

good stuff. in for responses.

I have a huge 100 gal (i think) aquarium sitting in my basement unused with a nice wooden stand and hood. ideas plz!!!! :eek:

Thanks Chris! I was hoping you'd see this thread :)

has anyone documented a chameleon dissection? Thanks.

looks really neon! cool

P.S. instead of asking stupid, lazy questions then giving a smart ass reply to someone who gave you an educated answer, how about you search for the answer yourself. Everything you need to know about how to keep your cham healthy until you get too lazy to care about it anymore is on this site...

The UVB blub, which is probably a fluorescent tubular type bulb is not intended to give off heat. It provides UVB radiation which is essential for your chameleon's health. You will need a separate "heat bulb" which can be a regular incandescent bulb. Don't let your basking spot get too hot...

great pics -- i've been fascinated by these little guys for a while. can anyone point me in the direction of a general care sheet for these little buggers?

it's probably not a good idea to mist at night.

thanks for sharing

no clue but i want one

too many plants can make it hard/impossible to find all the poop. which can create problems, especially if you free range feeders.

if it were me and i bought a new LLL cage and the door was riveted wrong, i'd send it back

^^^ exactly. you can't even pretend like we are successfully reproducing their natural environment. we are trying to keep them as healthy as possible in captivity, and that usually requires a deviation from what they may normally do in the wild. It's likely they eat as much as they want daily...
