    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello all. I have had my panther for 3 years now, and its time to get a Carpet. I have a few questions about my setup before I start looking for a new chameleon. I am going to use a UVA vapor style lamp. I am wondering, if the cage is going to be 30" high X 24" wide and 30" deep, should I get a 100 Watt or 160 Watt vapor lamp.

What is a good basking temp, ambient temp, and night temp? What humidity levels should I strive for??

Also, what bulb is better, the Big Apple Herp "Capture the Sun Bulb" or the Zoo Med Vapor lamp. I use the 24" UVA bulbs for my panther, but I want to switch over.

I think I should still use the same supplements (calcium, vitamins and rep-cal) that I use with my panther. I am hopefully sooner than later going to get a pair of lats.

If any one has any care sheets or tips on caring for some lats, I would appreciate it.
