Yeah life expectancy on those things is never a certain answer. As long as they eat and drink they can grow pretty big but it all depends on the environment you give them and what their own plan is. You can usually just feed them apples, oranges, carrots, squash, collard greens, dandelion, kale...
Not trying to be harsh, just want to make sure you do your homework. At least once a week you catch a thread from someone who goes out buy's a cham, jumps on the forums and asks, okay-now what? Not really fun for the Cham.
Not a problem. Always glad to help. Gotta correct myself though the sun produces UVB in the 280-320nm range. But there is a plateau effect in the range. Meaning you will still see the same D3 yield index results from 315-320nm as you would from 280-285nm due to the plateau effect. So it's not a...
Yeah if you still have these types of questions I would probably hold on getting the Cham for a while. I've been researching on veiled Chameleon's since the first week of December, 2007 and I think I'll get my Cham in early-mid Feb. but I'm still being patient about it. I want to make sure I'm...
I think people are sometimes confused as to the difference between the 5.0 and the 10.0 and with which one to go with. The Reptisun 5.0 and 10.0 will emit UVB in the same nanometer range, or within the UVB range. The 5.0 will only penetrate downward to about 12" where as the 10.0 will reach from...
I just recently ordered with LLLReptile last week. The service and shipping was lightening fast! But then again I live in Cali so I'm not that far away from them but I was still impressed by how fast they are and my packages were safely wrapped.
I agree with you 100% Julirs. I know I have will have to hold onto the Reptarium even when I do upgrade to a wire cage so I'll have a place to put the Cham while I'm cleaning his main cage. In the summer I'll probably just get a large ficus and let him chill with me in the backyard on it while I...
This may sound stupid but what in the world are Collard and dandelion greens? I grew up eating chili dogs, pizza, tri-tip, ribs, roast, meat loaf, chicken. I didn't touch any of that green stuff. lol. I also never did the grocery shopping either so maybe I was deprived I don't know. hehe. Too...
The mesh stuff is really inexpensive. But at the same time, to be honest. It's one those, you get what you paid for. Cheap cage = cheap cheap cheap. I have one, they are not something I would recommend raising a chameleon. When put together they are unstable, horrible for ventilation and unless...
This is what it will look like, It'll have the green label instead of the pink. I know PETCO and PetSmart carries it for sure.

Thank you very much for the information Dave, it has been really helpful. Brad directed me toward the UVGUIDE site last night and I read it while I was at work. It was extremely helpful as well. The most important sentence out of all the pages that lead me to believe that the reptisun 5.0 bulbs...
That's one of the most amazing pictures I've seen on here yet Joe, they look so cool. I saw your recent video on youtube, awesome! Too bad snakes scare the living crap out of me. Thank God you didn't show any spiders, if you do have any. That always makes me convulse. lol
That creeps you guys out? Don't you ever watch the Discovery Channel, Animal Channel, Nature Channel? I've seen worse than that. The only thing that creeps me out more than anything are spiders and snakes. lol
Search Dave Weldon's posts..... Okay post 793, nope. Post 792, nope. Post 791, nope. Holy crap this might take a while. LOL just playing Brad, thx for the info I appreciate it. And thank you as well Brad. I just want to kind of get a sense of why one over the other is all.
LaserGecko, wow that sounds exciting. I can't wait to see what those come out to look like. I like the name too, Capet Condo's, that's totally cool. The setup you have their looks really really good. Something you would definitely find in a professional carpenter's shop. You did a really good...
JimNPHX was nice enough to post this yesterday. It has been very very helpful to me in understanding not only lighting but the importance of it, especially to Chameleon's. A lot of it I already know from flight school but there was some stuff in there they don't teach you or expect you to know...
