    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....

trying to pic a cham

I think its a very good idea to have all your stuff ready before you get the chameleon. Like the enclosure, I had one for when he was a baby and one for know(about ten months old) Panthers are a great species. Heres Zephir, my Nosy Be.

Howdy,

Most of the improvements were related to cleaning-up my plumbing. I changed the way the pump, heater, regulator and holding tank connect. I now have quick-disconnect fittings like you find on air tools at gas stations. It makes it easy to remove the water tank for sterilizing etc. The rest of the improvements were adding a compact refrigerator for storing silkworm foods and some kinds of insects and then changing the roaches to substrate-free keeping...

Howdy,

Where did it go? :toiletcla. If it died, then not enough light? If your chameleon ate it then maybe nutritional issues?

I have troubles with leaf dropage so I rotate them with some that I keep outside to let them get sun and dry out every so often.

Hibiscus, ficus, dwarf schefflera.
 
Howdy,

Some suggest that veileds in the wild will supplement their normal diet of insects with plant material when insects and/or water become scarce. Is he getting plenty to drink? How much does he eat?
