Depends on how you define "Best." :):) If you read the interview, I asked dr. Frances about Metal Halide. So far, the MH seems to be quite promising in replicating a very good lighting condition for solar powered reptile. However, as of now, the technology still seems a bit unstable for herp...

the hairy worm is there as cleanup crew. I just usually left them there..

If no one would take and help her, then I would make her as comfortable as possible.. Is she sleeping now? if she is, i would leave her alone. Turn off the night heatlamp -they actually need a temp drop to induce sleep. Sorry that you got tricked by the reptile 'experts' at petstore..:(:(:(...

Tabbymae, when a chameleon already in that condition, the best thing you can do is to make her as comfortable as possible. turn off the night heating lamp. Put him on a soft towel (since I am assuming she no longer able to move or climb). Darken the room, so she can rest. and, try your best...

I personally never use the day blue incandescent bulb.. But, I think I have seen them in Petsmart/ Petco reptile department.. I remember grabbing the product and think to myself "What a way to rip off people." I think they are nothing more than an incandescent bulb in a fancy packaging. Nothing...

for the one got released outside the garden is hard to say because mantis do travel far, and the worst of all they tend to attract birds. Last time I spread 80 outside.. and within 2 - 3 days I could not find a single one of them... But, i did see couple of crows, robin, and pigeon hanging out...

You do not have enough climbing material for them. Exelcior is good for this. Without enough climbing material, they cannot shed properly.. here is what a proper setup for mantis nymphs -check the mantis nursery pics: http://www.mantisplace.com/mantisnursery.html And, the wet paper towel at...

Wafflesmom, I recommend you to order online. Petsmart charges 40 bucks for Reptiglo and Reptisun while the original price is 14 dollars. Ever since the Desert T5 incident, I am wary of using Zilla's uvb light.. At least, until they corrected the issues and tested by the people at uvguide site.

Syn, I suggest you go with the one sold by Arbico organics. http://www.arbico-organics.com/product/NemAttack-Nematodes-Feltiae Other company added some chemical additives into the medium. So, when you spray the plant soil with the nematodes solution, it doubles as fertilizer. I know Arbico...

I think so... My veiled (just recently passed) gets violent whenever he visit a vet. He hates the vet's office.. because that's when he get probed and examined. He tensed up immediately when he saw the vet's face even if it is just a picture of him on his website.

At one time in the future, if you decided to venture even more on chameleon hobby, I would recommend getting the solarmeter 6.2. Here is one possible case on what can happen if a chameleon is overexposed to UVB. Scroll down pass the thermal burn sub chapter and read the UVB burn case...

If it gives enough heat (without it being over or under the temp requirement for jackson), I could see no reason why you can't.. It all depends on how cold or hot the environment you are living in. adjust according to your situation. Here is the link to help you understand a bit more about...

absolutely.. too much is just as bad as too little.

you are going to need uvb solarmeter 6.2 to determine the proper distance. If you want to be safe, you can just get reptisun 5.0 Linear tube.. it's quite foolproof. This is assuming that your chameleon is the common one (veiled, panther, jackson, etc).

I think the usage of quote in your sentence signifies a criticism when people see it. I see it the way Juli see it also. If you want to emphasize the word, I would have recommend using bold. But, anyway, see how easy it is to misunderstand your intention in the web when body language and...

when you see her hanging on the tree, did she just do it suddenly or there was some sort of incident happened -i.e: seeing something scary like birds or cats? Pygs yes... But, I have never heard a panther doing this.. how fascinating.

So far, is this happened only during shower? how interesting..

Hahahaha your poem makes me chuckle (in a good way). This is great, Stefan. Keep up the good job!

hahahaha... Syn is right.. I too expect your big smile with your happy chameleon on your hand. Beautiful chameleon! They looked so healthy.
