Hi Everyone: So - this is Andrew - he is a blue bar Ambilobe. We were going to wait to post a pic but we just couldnt wait to share! Also - the bottom of the cage has a few layers of paper towel but they are pretty soaked .... should they be changed more frequently (if wet) than once a...

Yes it is a reptisun - My guess is that he is still stressed, but this is my 6th cham, (first in 6 years) and Ive never had this colouration scare before.

The basking spot is right around 85-90 with his perch placed about 6-inches from the top of the cage. He is a sub-adult (7-months) and is in a 18x18x36 enclosure. There is also a UVB 5.0 bulb, again, with a perch 6 inches from the top.

Hi Everyone: I received my Ambilobe from Chroma 2 days ago (beautiful animal), and poor Andrew is having a stressful time. He is displaying a rather dark colouration. As this is my first "mail-order" chameleon, I was wondering if this is normal, and how long I can expect this to last. He...

I guess I have read many threads about what to gutload with, but havent really come across anything that says how much to feed them - as silly as it seems I do not want the crickets to cannibalize, but I also don;t want to be wasteful. Also the same question goes for Dubias. I am interesting...

Has anyone been able to confirm that the new ZooMed cages have not had this problem with rusting? Jason

How about using baking soda in the room you keep them? I keep mine under the sink in my kitchen and have noticed a smell so I am going to try baking soda. Also, try separating them out into smaller containers so they arent all climbing on eachother and such. I noticed that would cut down a...

Hi everyone: I am looking to start up a little breeding project soon (maybe in a couple of months once Andrew is full grown), however I am a little worried about the size of the operation, and it getting out of hand so to speak. I live in a small one bedroom apartment with my girlfriend, and...

So I am picking up some bugs today and had a questions about cricket sizes - are 3/4 inch crickets considered to be full grown? And how many 3/4 inchers would a 7-month male panther need a day? Thanks again for all your help. Jason

We are getting our 7-month old male panther in a couple of days and we want to make sure we have the right size and number of crix onhand (we will be using crix as the staple). We were thinking 7-10 1/2-inch a day but any further insight would be awesome. Jason & Jess

Thanks so much!

Anyone? The only ingredient is calcium carbonate.

Hi There: In anticipation of Andrew we are purchasing all the supplements we need. As for the calcium without D3, is T-REX Bone Aid ok? Thanks, Jason & Jess

Sorry for the plethera of what may seem like basic questions, but we just want to make sure Andrew will be healthy and happy in his new home! We are just setting up the cage. Is unflavoured dental floss safe to tie up plants? Thanks Jason & Jess

Hi There: I am new to the forums but not new to owning chameleons. I had 5 chameleons about 6 or 7 years ago but am rusty on the some details. I have an all mesh cage, Reptisun 5.0 UVB and 75 watt heat lamp. Misting several times a day, branches to climb on and foliage to hide behind...

Aww thanks! I actually have a question about setting up the cage / supplementation. I have an all mesh cage, Reptisun 5.0 UVB and 75 watt heat lamp. Misting several times a day, branches to climb on and foliage to hide behind. I guess where I am having trouble finding info /remembering...

Hi Everyone: About 6 or 7 years ago I had quite the little group of monsters. A veiled, 2 panthers (Maronsetra and Nosy Be), and two Comoros Island Dwarfs. I moved away for school and as such I had to sell off the little guys. Just yesterday, my girlfriend and I decided to purchase an...
