dude thank you!! my daughter wants one for her birthday BUT i told her she needs to do some research (we've had gargoyle geckos and crested geckos before so thankfully we have had reptiles before, although i understand the care is completely different!) ANYWAY, your videos are awesome. I've had her watch a bunch of them (and take notes). You're a lifesaver! :)

I just picked up a T Rex 18x18x24 terrarium with glass and screen sides to retain some heat and humidity for the hatchlings I will be getting. Also picked up an eco terra pebble waterfall for a water source. I will keep some stones in the collection well until he is older to keep him from drowning

Please help I just got a translucent veiled chameleon 2 days ago, he's 2 months old. He is constantly hiding and I spotted him hanging from the top of his cage just underneath his UVB and heating lights. The lights do touch the cage top surface, I don't want him to get burned what do I do? I can't seem to get sticks to stay put up top to create. Basking spot, he has a vine going up to the very top though. Also he was on the ground floor of his cage today walking around, is that a bad sign? His unrated were a little yellow so I started a drip system and am spraying him with the bottle more often, 4-5 times a day, please help

First I’d like to say that I’m so glad I found your channel! So here it goes. I need some advice. I recently bought a 2 month old male veiled chameleon. He arrived four days ago on April 6th. When I got him I offered him a cricket and he snatched it up super quick and ate it. But that’s the only cricket he ate. After three days of him not eating any of the crickets I offered, no matter the size, I started really freaking out. I ordered him some baby hornworms off eBay yesterday but of course they’re not going to arrive for a few more days. I was getting desperate so I went to PetSmart and bought a tub of 100 mealworms. Came home and found a little cup thing and put 4 mealworms in it and low and behold, he ate 3!!! So I put 5 more (total of 6 since there was still one left) and again he ate 3 more. Offered him a cricket and he basically said f**k you lady, I want no part of that hopping thing. This is kind of worrying me because I know they need those gut loaded crickets. I’m thinking that I’ll hold off on trying to feed him crickets for a couple of weeks or maybe a month then try again. My concern is what if he gets malnourished because of this? Is there some sort of danger for him only eating mealworms at such a young age? What do you suggest I do? Please help. I don’t want my little dude to die on me. I tried talking to someone from Underground Reptiles, which is where I ordered him from, and he was telling me that I shouldn’t have him in a screen cage, he needs to be in a glass tank because the mesh ones don’t hold humidity and they thrive off of humidity. After all the research I’ve done I know that the info he gave me about the type of home he is supposed to be in is inaccurate. They need the airflow. Glass enclosures hold stagnant air, which will more than likely cause respiratory disease. The humidity in his cage is absolutely fine. It stays between 60-90, 60 being the lowest and so far it’s only dropped that low one time. Usually it’s around 80. So then he told me the heat wasn’t right. He said the ambient temp should be no lower than 90F and the basking should be even higher. I don’t remember what he said the the basking temp should be. From the research I’ve read and watched the recommended temps should be basking: 90-95F and the ambient should be anywhere from 72-mid 80’s during the day and low to mid 70’s during the night. My point is, I feel that he is giving inaccurate information which blows my mind. I bought from that site because I thought that it would be much better than buying from somewhere like PetSmart or Petco. Their animals usually are sick and aren’t taken care of properly. And PetSmart keeps their chameleons in an all glass enclosure from what I saw when I went there to buy supplies for my Bling baby. Now I’m thinking that that site is probably the equivalent of buying a cham from PetSmart. Anyway, please please please give me some advice. You seem to know what you’re talking about. How can I get my Bling baby to start eating crickets again?

Not sure why you comments similar but not exactly the same thing on two different videos haha. But please do not make your tank look like the one in this video, they need a dense forest of plants for them to escape our line of sight. I would recommend absolutely no less than a 36x18x36 exo terra for him if you decide to go the glass route. I will leave a link at the end of this comment for you to check out. Wouldn't hurt to look through the rest of the website either. UGR get WC animals allll the time and are notorious for their average to below average care of their animals. I have never personally been there so I can't speak from experience. chameleonacademy.com/selecting-a-chameleon-cage/ www.chameleonbreeder.com/podcast/ep-53-keeping-chameleon-in-glass-terrariums-with-dr-chris-anderson/

Mike Tytula it’s probably because I was desperately trying to find answers. I swear I was asking advice from EVERYONE. Haha! Anyway, WOW! No wonder they have lower prices than everyone else. I did see that some of their Chams said wild caught in the description and some said that they were captive bred. I chose captive bred. Hopefully they aren’t labeling them wrong just to get sales. I’m really against buying wild caught animals. I understand why someone would get wild caught Chams to breed IF they’re very experienced and can provide a happy life for the lizard. But to sell WC Chams to just anyone?! Not cool. And there’s the fact that yeah, ok, you get a wild caught animal. Chams don’t live long but you can breed them. So why KEEP getting wild caught? You know what I mean? Why not breed them, then keep what you want out of the hatchlings and breed those? People irk the mess out of me with that. I don’t think I’ll get him a glass enclosure ever. There’s no since for it where I live. I believe glass enclosures are best suited for those that live in the north. I’m personally sticking with mesh enclosures. Also, since I’ve watched one guy on here that I really liked, I decided to use his method. It’s really awesome. So, for his Cham he has a “safe place” for him to run to where the care taker won’t mess with him if he runs to that spot. I believe that might lessen the stress and gives the animal a since of security. Absolutely love that! Thank you for the links! I’ll be sure to check them out as I will be getting Bling a bigger enclosure when he grows up a little more. Right now he’s in a 16x16x30 ZooMed screen enclosure. I’m just going to go ahead and get him an XL enclosure next. Right now he is fine in the smaller one because he is still really small. He seems to be happy now, and is definitely starting to come around as far as handling goes. Not always though. He just don’t seem as terrified and stressed anymore when I hold him. He don’t run out of his enclosure to greet me like some people’s Chams on here do. I don’t think he ever will, with his cute little grumpy looking face. BUT! I knew that was a possibility when I got him and I’m fine with that. I noticed that he hates it if we look at him while he is trying to hunt. He don’t mind if we are in the room with him but as soon as he notices me or one of the kids looking over at him he stops and runs to his safe place. It’s too cute. Anyway, ty Mike!

Hey, I'm thinking of getting a chameleon soon and setting up an enclosure. How old/big are the chameleons that they usually sell at pet stores? I'd like to get one young like the ones you have. Also, should I have an enclosure for when he's little and then move him to a bigger one when he gets bigger? Or can I have him in a bigger one with small branches and put bigger branches in later?

Hey I've had a baby chameleon for about a few weeks now and he has been eating small gutloaded crickets sprinkled with calcium powder and D3 vitamin. It (too young to gender yet but so far doesn't have the bump on the back of the foot) seems to be fine but I'm just not sure how many crickets it should be eating a day and I'm having trouble keeping it hydrated. The chameleon doesn't respond to drip systems and licks the cage and leaves when I mist but still has yellow in the poop. Any suggestions or advice helps!

hello, I'm thinking of getting a veiled chameleon. I know about the cages and as far as feeding. but I was wondering if I could feed a 2 month old crickets to start out? specifically, what kind of lighting to get? how often do I feed the chameleon? do I need to set the room I'm putting the chameleon in to a certain temperature? what kind of wattage do I need for the lights? could I get a basking light with the uvb with it or should they be separated? how do I maintain temperature inside the cage? where should I put a heating pad? and what do I do at night, do I turn off the lamps or just keep them going?
@MikeTytula
@MikeTytula 8 жыл бұрын
+Janice Mendoza I recommend doing plenty more research, light you need heat and UVB 5.0. Feed it once or twice a day. As for temps no you just need the wattage that will give the right basking temp for your cage. There should be no heating pad as it's a screen cage. At night you turn it off

I am new to chameleons, but I have been doing my research for months now. Glass cages are not good for chameleons at all because they need a fresh breeze (probably not what you wanted to hear lol) a screen cage is the best, plus it allows them to climb. Always one of the best floorings is Eco-Earth.

Its not a baby or an adult its small and i set up his cage with a good amount of sticks i cleaned his sticks and bought fake plastic leaves and i bought it large crickets cause thats what the petstore told me to get it. Im just confused about spraying his cage. He doesnt like when i spray him with water but i dont want his skin to dry. I just got him today so ive only sprayed him once. Should i just spray his cage and not him? Or should i just continue spraying him lightly with water?

Hi Mike thank you for the video, I’m afraid because I didn’t expect to find seven baby chameleons this morning in my chameleon’s cage, I went to buy the chameleons started kit , the babies are inside now, I put a lot of fruit flies but they don’t want to eat, what do I’m going to do? I’m so worried , they just want to be close to the light, the temperature inside is 80 degrees . Could you please help me?

I would make sure that the temperatures are all still good, and cover three, or even all four sides of the enclosure to allow them to settle in (it'll also retain more humidity with the sides covered). What species of chameleon are the babies?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I got a 2 month old male panther cham on Fri about 2pm. He ate a few crickets that afternoon. We left the basking and uvb light on until about 8pm then turned them off for the night. The next morning he was like a totally different cham. He was sleepy and he wouldn't eat. I contacted the breeder but he really only went back over basic stuff that we are already doing. The cham still hasn't eaten and I know he can't last much longer. We have a zoomed mesh kit, we're misting, dripping, the crickets came from petsmart. I just don't know what happened. Any thoughts?

Mike Tytula the kit came with a 60watt basking bulb and a 5 uvb. I have ordered a 75 watt because the hottest area was only upper 70's. The humidity stay around 63%. It was in my daughter's bedroom, there was no vent close by. I sent him back to the seller yesterday hoping he could make it there alive but we will be getting another one so if there is anything I'm doing wrong I'd love to get it fixed before then. The seller said something may have happened in shipping or its possible the chameleon just wasn't adapting to the new environment so I'm not sure where the problem was. Thanks.

Hey Mike I got my veiled chameleon and I was wondering how much I should mist them and how many times a day and how much time should be inbetween misting? The guys at my reptile shop said I could just use a spray bottle and I read that you should use warm water instead of room temp; is this true? Also my baby crickets seem to always gp under the coco husk bedding will this be a problem for his feeding?
@MikeTytula
@MikeTytula 9 жыл бұрын
Marco Lucero I would either feed them in a cup or remove the coco husk because the babies can eat it and become impacted and die... As for misting I would mist room temp water, as many times a day as possible, you just need for the humidity to reach a good level in the cage between mistings
