I had the same issue where my ambilobe was taking occassional cat naps. The step I took to resolve the issue was a dramatic increase in humidity. Evrything else was spot on - so I figured this had to be the culprit. I got lucky as my guy has been attentive ever since I added live plants and a...

Question related to silkworms Does the general rule "Don't feed your cham anything wider than it's eyes" apply to silkies as well. I would think not due to their lack of chitinous(spelling?) material. I just wanted to check with those more knowledgeable first.

A few short weeks ago I was so excited to move my guy to his new larger home. I spent a long time setting it up, decorating, readjusting temperatures etc. When it came time for the move I was coaxing him to get on my hand and he decided he'd prefer to go chameleon sky-diving without a...

This is one of those situations where you really can't go wrong. I have purchased from Screameleons and can say that they are top-notch. Chameleonsonly has a wonderful reputation and I have yet to hear anything negative about them. You really can't lose.

I support Ghann's as well. I've used others in the past and the size isn't always accurate. I can't stand getting ones that are too small (or even worse too big so they are useless). Ghann's packing is also the best I've seen so far. I also live in the NE and as long as my delivery guy knocks to...

This thread has inspired me to diversify Osiris' diet. I just got an order of silkies today and my guy loves them. At first I was scared that he wouldn't see them - but he did - and he went after them immediately. If I can be successful keeping them I'd imagine that they will become the new...

I also made one of these after reading your blog - and it is amazing! This is the thing I am probably most proud of in my guys cage. It looks completely natural and is a 100% functional. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful knowledge. My only advice to anyone else who does this...

If the crickets are free ranging - be sure your cham is in an enclosure that is small enough that he can "find" his food. Everywhere I read - a feeder cup is recommended for a cham of your age. It should be situated somewhere in the area of where he basks so that he can see it. Also, any...

It actually might help your children to learn responsibility as Chameleon keeping is incredibly detail-orientated. But I would agree that you would have to essentially become the foreman on this job. A 13 year old may not have enough of an understanding of consequences. They might see it as "not...

humidity is mid cage. I have a new cage being delivered in which I am going to add some more plants to hopefully bring the humidity even higher.

I Have a reptisun 5.0 and a reg 40 watt bulb which keeps his basking temp at 94 degrees. I supplement with Rep-Cal phosphorus-free calcium powder with vit D3 5 out of 7 days. He gets a multi-vitamin once every 3 weeks. His set has a rainmaker misting system which runs 3 times a day for 5 minutes...

I've read many a place that it is not a good sign for a cham to have his eyes closed during day hours. About 3 weeks ago I noticed that my 6 month old Panther would sometimes close his eyes - not for long maybe a few minutes here or there. I became very concerned and began to ensure that all of...

OMG - what a great observation. I have just a few(not so well taken pics) of my cham because everytime I took a picture he would absolutely just flip out! I had given up hope of ever being to take pictures as he would seem to be pretty disturbed by the process(he would run to his comfort branch...

I just got a Rainmaker today and it is fantastic so far. Worth the money IMO. :)

and it wasn't exactly a success. I had the temp right on the water and the tree I put in the shower was half-in half-out of the shower stream. I put him in the tree and he was just stress city the whole time. He just was looking for a way off of the tree and almost fell a couple of times. I...

sorry double post

I spoke with someone about this and they framed out the arguement of those who frown on mixing locales pretty well. He said that is was really all about a fear of not being able to get a specific locale if importing rules became any stricter in the future. He says that it would make sense to...

When I was in my teens I was an avid herp owner. I had a large variety of animals before I fell in love with Chameleons. I enjoyed both a pair of Veiled's and a Diego Suarez panther. I had to give it all up when I met my current wife. Space was a definite issue as well as money. Now we have...
