Hahaha, they still wouldn't care.... I've had the conversation with my Mom before regarding snakes, and she's admitted that though she's not a fan, she wouldn't mind them, IF the whole rats/mice thing wasn't an issue.....she's DISGUSTED and TERRIFIED of them haha. My Dad is not at all a man...

Hahahaha at least you got him to make an entire room dedicated to your animals!! My mom had considered giving me the entire downstairs, with my dad's office as the reptile room....and even though he leaves all of his papers on the upstairs dining room table, he will NOT let me have the space...

Wow so he's almost full size already! Hahaha the itch, it's contagious!!! Hey, impulse buys are not always as terrible as people make them out to be; you think I expected to come home with a pair of U. sikorae? No way haha, I saw them and couldn't pass them up, then spent the rest of the day...

Exactly, and I look forward to updates! And WHAAAAAAT??? haha.....put up some pictures already, I'm a very impatient guy! haha Give me the deets, is he CB? I'd assume so but many breeders still work with WC or LTC so interested in his origins. How old, and what's his length? And what are...

Sorry for the late reply! Been pretty busy the past few days haha. I get where you're coming from concerning UVB as well as enclosure size, both points make plenty of sense. I always try to give my animals as much space as they need; when I tell people about the size of my chameleon cages...

Thanks to both of you, I'm pretty pleased with them myself haha. They are a lot of fun, I love showing them to people and making them play "Find The Gecko" hahaha; the female is easy to spot, so I usually use the male. At one point I had him in an 8"x8"x12" Exo-Terra, a fairly small cage....it...

Oh and for Melissa, my enclosures and animals: (Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread a bit) The male and his enclosure: And the female and her enclosure:

WOW I was right!! cool haha....yeah, he certainly has quite the package hahaha. Thanks for the supplementation schedule, definitely something to consider. I'll be honest, I was expecting Calcium w/D3 to be an almost every feeding thing. Unless of course you are using a UVB bulb, are you...

If I had to guess I'd say the fully brown one is the female, the 'fancier' one is the male? I think I see a bulge haha, and the tail looks to be more indented than the 'female', but I could be wrong. Melissa, I'll take some pics tomorrow if I get the chance. I have some pics when I first...

Gorgeous animals! UUUUGH you're killing me with these pictures haha, I was going to pick up a male at a show last week. There's been a local breeder there for the past 2 years, and I was finally going to pull the trigger. Sure enough, he gave up his table; just my luck haha. Does this guy...

Thank you for giving me a little more insight into what I'm dealing with, I truly appreciate it. I was getting a little upset that only a couple of people are willing to say anything to help me, and I'm happy you chimed in. The one panel should be ok I'm guessing, since we live in similar...

Really? Nothing? I thought I'd get a little more response from the forum, I really don't want to tell them one person helped me a little....nobody has ANY insight on what I'm asking for?

Bump; still requesting answers concerning watering and lighting.

Good point with multiple panels, I'd like to be able to control the levels in the cage as much as possible. Now I have another question; are you suggesting panels on both sides of the cage? You may or may not notice the cage is virtually flush with the left and back walls, leaving only the...

Very informative post, thank you. Would one panel cut out at the top be alright? Or are you suggesting multiple panels? I imagine one would be enough with all of the holes drilled would create the chimney effect, but just want to be sure. As far as humidity goes, I suggested a misting...

Thanks for the speedy reply, luck and suggestions. To keep from confusing anyone, the animal is indeed a male. I think a female would REALLY get lost in there haha. Concerning the holes and crickets; with the size of this cage I think I'm going to try getting him to cup-feed (or hand feed...

Hey guys, looking for some extra advice. So I volunteer at a local nature center where we keep many animals; birds of prey, native and domestic mammals, as well as exotic reptiles. This past weekend we received a veiled chameleon with his enclosure as a donation, as his keeper was moving to...

Frilleds are another one on my list of wants, and are about a billion times hardier haha. Definitely consider them, they are a very cool animal and will often tolerate handling similar to a bearded dragon. In fact, most of them seem to become SO tame they hardly if ever "frill up" haha. From...

As stated, he'll probably be fine, there's nothing you can do about it now. I would try to get the rest out though. If you've ever kept or held a Giant African Millipede you would know the nasty acid they give off giving you an awful rash on your hands. I wouldn't be surprised if most...

This is very much true, and a good piece of advice. The more you feed your feeders, the better they are for your chameleon. I do agree though that you should feed them more than just crickets, for a bit of variety and enrichment. Drop the waxworms almost completely, they are full of fat and...
