I don't see this going anywhere positive at all. It seems to me you actually have a bigger problem with Americans than the said husbandry techniques. I was a bit taken back with how open and upfront with your choice of words you were to some of the senior members of this wonderful community...

Hi Jimmy! One thing i didnt see is what type of cham you are planning to get? (I hope i didnt miss that somewhere if you already stated it) You have a fantastic start already, its great to see someone has been doing their homework prior to purchasing! If i were in your situation, more...

you did the right thing, thank you

I can think of 2 in the last 6 months here on the forums that have lost their cham due to impaction of substrate. One thing I must point out in regards to your comment about making it un-natural, and that they have "substrates" in the wild.. is that in the wild, these chameleons dont last...

Hi Kat! I personally think that the 50/50 will suffice just fine until he is ready to move into the larger cage. If anything, place a small fan near your enclosure to ensure you are getting good ventilation during the day. Shut it off at night, and just make sure you are soaking up excess...

Just remember as a "general rule of thumb" the finer the mesh, the greater the chance they can loose a nail. The larger the mesh, the easier it is for feeders to escape. You just have to find a balance that works for what you are trying to accomplish- there really is no right or wrong.

Your mind shouldn't be at rest, you have a problem. It is not normal to drag legs around, and you need to look into a vet trip if this continues throughout the day.

Did you replant them with organic soil or is this just the "stock" plants from when you purchased them? The little white balls are usually perlite - but can be other things as well depending on the soil. (styrafoam, etc) If you did NOT replant the soil with organic - then yes, Your cham...

I allready did - thats what +1 means :)

Couldn't have stated it any better Jeweled :) +1

"anyone else" that is going to help is going to tell you the same thing, but since i don't think you want to hear it from me :(:( ill just let them all chime in below

I recommend that you break this habit, it is not a wise idea to have them drink from a bowl as stale water sitting there is breeding grounds for bacteria, things that accelerate this is your little girl pooping in the water, crickets/other feeders drowning and floating around.. etc. It is more...

Yes, they also absorb moisture through the skin. It is not the primary method of "drinking" but it helps in the hydration process.

The construction and everything does look nice! :D I think you could definatly use some more plants and vines and such in there tho! Lots of open space and only 1 real hiding spot in there :( It would also be great to have multiple levels for her to climb on under the basking area, so look...

How about a video of my non herp hobbie :) yes, i am equally addicted to youtube as I am these forums

I didnt look at my poorly attempted ascii art after the post. haha it looks awful. I tried tho!

For a cage like that and only 80 bucks, it would be a good purchase. If you have issues with sagging, simply cut 2 smaller peices of wood to span across the top and place the lamps on them. Here ill try to do a little drawing from the top view heh ----------- | |o| | ----------- o...

beat me too it lost lake!

Its called a sperm plug. Normal for males. I dont believe its a good idea to go yank it off, do a search for it, you will find some good info on how to move foward.
