    Elephant Eared Cham

    No luck finding care/husbandry. Assume you've checked the archives? Little there, but something. My best guess would be to match care to her habitat. https://www.adcham.com/html/taxonomy/species/cbrevicornis.html https://novataxa.blogspot.com/2011/12/2006-calumma-brevicorne-revision.html?m=1...

    Are Black walnut trees poisonous to chameleons?

    I thought anapsid.org had lists of safe & unsafe woods, but I can't seem to find them. I did find this: Treating Wild-Caught Wood

    Are Black walnut trees poisonous to chameleons?

    The toxic ingredient is juglone, and it's in all parts of the plant, likely distributed by the sap under the bark. I'd like to be able to say strip the bark away, and clean the sticks, but I just don't know. I can't find anything specific on reptiles & juglone, so personally, I'd pass. Other...

    Wild caught acclimation and parasite treatments?

    No experience, but common sense tells me treatment might depend on parasite species and load. There shouldn't be any harm in getting a fecal test, and proceed from there. JMO.

    Beardies

    Apart from the holes, I wonder if something like these might work... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32483924171.html I might be able to get one out of a gumball machine for less than $5, and a lot closer than Pet— I was thinking of trying a roach and/or a berry. Since his diet, Stinkeye is...

    Beardies

    OK, I found it. The toy so nice, they listed it twice. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/feeders-and-food-storage/feeding-accessories/thrive-beardie-ball-5300292.html https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/feeders-and-food-storage/feeding-accessories/thrive-beardie-ball-59163.html This may be one...

    Bioactive bearded dragon enclosure!!!!

    (y) Just keep in mind that whatever is left (the flat floor) will still need to be strong enough to support the weight of the tiles, plants, and anything else (rocks, brick, whatever...). Reinforcing—if needed—can be done from underneath. At least you won't have to worry about drainage! 😁 :LOL:

    Beardies

    Ooh, I like it! 🤗 Especially the parts where he gets frustrated and snarfs a piece of salad! ;) I tried a ping-pong ball with Ol' Stinkeye, but he couldn't care less. OK, so where do we get them and how many limbs do they cost? 😁

    UVB lighting question

    As long as you stay within the rated wattage of the fixture (Most I've seen are rated for 150W, but I've seen a few that were lower) you should be OK, but yes, I'd want to get it off the screen—even if just an inch. I've got a couple examples here...

    UVB lighting question

    (y) I'm familiar with the enclosure. I agree, bells & whistles that add to cost but not utility. The LEDs aren't bright enough for plant lights except at the very top. To reach down into the nether regions of the enclosure—especially after the plants have filled in some—additional plant light...

    UVB lighting question

    Having raised a ceiling screen climber, (IOW, IME 😁) IDT it's really much of an issue. When Ol' Mr. GrumpyPants (OMG... Hmm... never thought of that before... :unsure:) was little, his preferred avenue of traversing the enclosure was via the ceiling, and while he most certainly crossed directly...

    UVB lighting question

    Dimensions? In the first 2 pics, he's getting UVB, but probably not the benefit of the reflector due to its orientation. If possible, try to mount his basking branch parallel to and directly under the UVB. Shine the basking light in from the side at an angle. (See diag. below) This will...

    Where should I be buying a veiled chameleon from?

    Check BBB for complaints & reviews. Check with other site sponsors. It appears FramsChams (sponsor) has male veileds. https://framschams.com/ Morphmarket appears to have some breeders; I have not vetted any of them. https://www.morphmarket.com/us/search?q=veiled&cat=42 FB likely also has...

    Bioactive bearded dragon enclosure!!!!

    IME, leave the tiles for last. You'll need a flat level floor, and I would (did) install the door first, so you'll know exactly what size to cut tiles. Will you be splitting the substrate into half tile/half lay bin, or all tile and just add a lay bin on top? At any rate, re-read post #80 as...

    Help Prepping for First Chameleon

    What about out? If you ever have to remove a large plant for whatever reason, you may have to prune it to get it back out the door. What about getting your chameleon out if it needs to go to a vet and won't cooperate? For these and other practical reasons, the front would make a better door...

    Why is it... (chameleons vs. frogs)

    Of course there are exceptions, hence "usually". When I counted pics on goggle, the "usuallly" held up. YMMV.

    Why is it... (chameleons vs. frogs)

    Why is is chameleons usually look like they're frowning, and (but?) frogs usually look like they're smiling? Are we missing something? :unsure:

    Redid my blue Ambanjas cage today ...

    Hibiscus need full sun, so either hang near the top, or get mondo plant lights a bat could see. :p Little tiny ones (which is how they went unnoticed). It was a while ago, so I can't remember if they were mealybugs or scales. They hid on the bottoms of the leaves, and left dirt I thought was...

    UVB lighting question

    I'm not seeing anything wrong with the UVB per se. What are the dimensions of the enclosure What kind of screen is the top? The meter won't register anything unless it's directly under the UVB, and due to the effects of the reflector, it won't be the same everywhere. There's a caveat that I've...
