Yep, reptoman hit the nail on the head there, need some more branches, and some more vines too:) The only thing I would be cautious with is how close you put the extra vines to the top of the enclosure because your lamps are sitting on the screen. Oh and ditch the substrate, chams can accidently...

With him going back to the same spot to climb and fall sounds like something is stressing him out. He is trying to get the furthest away he can from whatever is bothering him. Maybe he's too hot? Another animal he can see? An object? And you are right about not having enough grip on the...

Thanks for filling out the form. First item on the list: Handling - Most chameleons don't like being handled, even if they aren't hissing, gapping etc, it still affects them. Maybe cut down handling to once a week, this will take a lot of stress off of him and help him start to feel better in...

I don't think you will find mesh to attach at a pet store. Go to a dollar store or home depot etc, look for hardware clothe(larger squares and the wire is coated), and gutter guard would work too, it only comes in 4-6" wide rolls of 20ft long or so, but super cheap. Grab some zip ties and you're...

Hi there, he does look dehydrated, but there are other causes as well. Best to start with the shower method. It is safest to use a terrarium, I use the screen zip up terrariums, start the shower against the wall, adjust the temperature, add cham in cage, and slowly start directing the shower...

Check this out for a dripper. Just ran across this last night. They also have all other misting components, and at a great price. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Garden/page.aspx?p=45922&cat=2,2280,54307&ap=2

Good read. Thank you for sharing this information.

I buy pumps and transformers off of Ebay. Costs about $35. Then I go hit up Home Depot for tubing and nozzles.

I don't agree with leashes on any reptile. Maybe this instead? :D (not my lizard)

So happy Lottie made it through surgery again! I know how nerve racking it is - our iguana had surgery last Friday for the second time for eggs. Lots of good thoughts going Lottie's way, take care lil girl:)

These feeder cups look awesome, great idea - I may just have to make some of these when I'm making my new cages this weekend:) Also, I have found gutter guard at the dollar store.

Thank you:) We named the Meller's Atom and Ambush. Still looking great today, and drinking in their terrarium. My stress levels are definitely going down lol. I'll post more pictures in the photography forum when they have settled in a bit more.

Just a few more pictures. This Meller's is the one with nose rub, and what I think might be female, looking happy after a long shower. And the two little nosy mitsio girls.

A dream come true for me! On Saturday I picked up 0.0.2 Meller's, and 1.1 3 Horn Usambara Chameleons. My local reptile store brought these guys in, saw he posted them Friday night on fb and I was there at opening next morning :D First thing was get everyone showered, they all drank well and...

Hi there, sorry you didn't have the best experience at the vet, that happens too often unfortunately. Baytril is safe, please start using it as directed by your vet(I am currently giving Baytril to my one cham, he is on 0.5CC daily for one month). Baytril is a broad spectrum medicine and can...

I think he looks great! Even has a nice tall and straight casque. Doesn't appear to be dehydrated or underweight. Handsome boy you have there:) If you have any concerns about his health or your setup, you could fill out the "how to ask for help" in the health clinic forum, and just ask as a...

Very nice looking! But like the others, my first thought was that wood. I would take it apart, sand the wood, and paint it with marine paint, let cure 24 hours, then seal the edges with silicone, cure for 24 hours. Would also move this outside so there are no fumes in the house for your cham...

I followed piglett79's blog for bug breeding, it's great! Are you using a hummingbird feeder? The moths need to be able to hover to feed. Also, you need to be careful when making your own sugar/water solution for them, it's best to use hummingbird food. I also just had my first run just a...

Hi, you should get rid of the reptibark, no substrate at all is best to avoid impaction from eating it. Just use a rubber maid, or ice cream pail for a lay bin. A mix of soil with some sand, a bit of water, just enough that the mixture sticks together, but not dripping water. If you make the lay...

Hi, panther and veileds are both nice picks, I prefer panthers as well because of their colour. I'm sure you have read that they are solitary creatures, and don't like much handling, so if you don't mind holding your cham maybe only once a week(or never depending on the cham lol) then get one...
