Anyone going to the reptile show sunday in White plains??? I'm lookig to pick some chameleons..

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Chameleons are tough and very sensitive to climate changes as well as surrounding conditions in the room. They stress easily. You are going to love the Screameleons tables. The colors of those animals are awesome! the prices on the other hand are amazing.

I use to have some chamelons. I had a pair of Jacksons and 3 veileds at one time. They had a nice big enclosure. Stay away from some of the larger ones.

chameleoons are cool I got some nice leopard geckos I'm looking to rehome if you are interested

[rkaragozler]

I like your new hobby, lol. Missed you at the show.

 

[roc5288]

I like.. Setup looks good.

 

[DevIouS]

Nice seeing ya there...

We need a ManhattanReptiles.com

 

[DevIouS]

Oh & the plants you need are:

Pothos
Schefflera
Hibiscus

Fill that bad boy up.
It will help with humidity & will make him feel safe.
Remember to mist him a few times a day!

 

[Bob 1000]

Walked in the house today and noticed the humidity wa sat 65%.. What's a good %???
The lights were out all day the temp was 82.. The lights will be on from 6pm to midnight is that good enough?? Also he doesn't go for the dubai roches he likes crickets.. That kinda sucks,,lol..

 

[roc5288]

82 in tank is good. But a basking spot up 100 degrees is not unheard of. Just as long as he can move into a cooler area when need be. What are you using to drip water? They are prone to respiratory problems as with all chameleons. Make sure where ever the water sits like on bottom of display you wipe dry. Panthers are really nice, it will color up really bright

 

[Bob 1000]

Thanks I am using the solo cup drip method for now.. It drips onto the money tree I have in the enclosure.. He drank from the tree yesterday..

 

[roc5288]

great are you dusting his food ? With reptcal and vitamins.

 

[Bob 1000]

yep I have the vitamins and the calcium without the D3..

 

[roc5288]

Looks to me you are off to a good start.

 

[Bob 1000]

Update just got him to eat the d roaches dusted with the d3.. I had to let them crawl onto the vine then he took 4 of them that way.. He wouldn't eat them out of the tupperware dish I left in the enclosure in the tree..

 

[roc5288]

You do know you don't dust for every meal. Also gut loading the prey is very good for any reptile. A must IMO.

 

[Bob 1000]

How do you gut load??

 

[roc5288]

Before feeding put prey in a container of fruit veggies etc.. Or you can buy a bottle of cut load. After a few minute or so of prey eating, you take them and feed to your chameleon. Crickets have no nutritional value. Also you can feed wax worms as a treat only.
