Thank you!!

[@RedBloodyNinjaa]

Hello, love your videos. Super helpful!! What is the exact Arcadia Jungle Dawn bulb you use? Wattage and length? I have a 24x24x48 enclosure for my veiled cham, with a pothos plant, umbrella plant, ivy, and a hibiscus and I want to make sure I get the correct wattage for them to thrive. I would appreciate a response as I can't find many answers online. Thank you!!

This is SO helpful, thanks for posting!! All I have right now is pothos so definitely will take your advice! 🪴

You are very welcome!

Hey i have a question my vailed chameleon like head part and spine turn black while he sleeping is that normal?

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Without being able to see it, it's hard for me to say if it is normal or not.

[@candytroutman6977]

I was wondering why you don't use bioactive enclosures. I just bought two panther chameleons with their enclosures. One was set up bioactive and the other set up like yours. Im not sure which is better.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Bioactive enclosures would raise the humidity inside of my enclosures to be too high. I'm definitely looking into it but will need to also invest in a dehumidifier.

[@anthonyz9062]

I have a large size glass tarrium with a couple of live plants i don't know what size light or what type of light i can use to keep my plants alive with out hurting my chameleon (Jackson chameleon) any information would be great ty!

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

What are the dimensions of your terrarium? I have a few plant LED lights I recommend using but here are some of my favorites: www.thebiodude.com/collections/led-reptile-lighting/products/22-biodude-led?sca_ref=4441955.QC4I63Y9tE (discount NEPTUNE10), joshsfrogs.com/a/neptunethechameleon/list/plantlighting, and www.amazon.com/dp/B00935I4AG?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzclari071-20&creativeASIN=B00935I4AG&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3O75E57RVWGRY&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_qv_asin

[@anthonyz9062]

My tank size is width, 18" and the height is 24"

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Oh noooo that's way too small for a Jackson's chameleon. Jackson's need at least a 24x24x48" enclosure. Here are two places you can get the right enclosure: www.amazon.com/dp/B001PHABI8?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzclari071-20&creativeASIN=B001PHABI8&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3O75E57RVWGRY&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_qv_asin and joshsfrogs.com/sp/zoo-med-reptibreeze-aluminum-screen-cage-x-large-24x24x48-zmnt13

[@mrfroghello]

What do you do if you have fungus nats in your plants inside your chameleon cage?

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I’d suggest making sure your enclosure has time to dry out during the day.

[@michellekk2666]

Hello! What size are your black pots that are tied to the cage? Where do you buy them? Thank you!

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I bought them from Home Depot!

[@michellekk2666]

@@NeptunetheChameleon Thank you so much for your videos!

[@bigcheese1173]

Is alocasia ok to have in the cage?

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

There are mixed opinions on if that plant is safe to use or not.

[@redfox2339]

What type of wood do you use for the branches (finding it hard to find good ones). Also my chameleon has just ripped his nail, it's still slightly attached, I've cleaned the wound with water but idk what to do and I'm a bit worried, he seems fine in himself but I just worry he's like my little baby 🥲🙏🏻❤️

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I personally used birch wood in the enclosure I just built for my baby chameleon. I would monitor the nail to make sure it doesn't swell up or get infected.

[@redfox2339]

[@dominikeavila9395]

excuse me mam i donnt know why my chameleon isn't eating I have meal worms like in a place where he can reach them i tried feeding him, he won't even pay attention to his food and i dont know what to do his color isn't off he still looks green but he hasn't ate in over a week and a half pls if u can help me out with what I can do.

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I made a video on that exact topic! Hope it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKmlnyhhqpkntk

[@mommyluvr5940]

the other day i saved a male jackson’s chameleon out of the road, id say he’s around 2-3 months old. i got him a cage and a bunch of non toxic plants, he eats his crickets, but he doesn’t seem to like when i mist around him, or when i go near him, he’s not violent he just kinda sits there looking sad, any way for me to improve his quality of life? also he sleeps during the day sometimes which i heard wasn’t good..

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

I'd make sure that his enclosure is set up correctly, but keep in mind chameleons are pretty sedentary creatures especially as they get adjusted to their new home. Here is my video on closed eyes during the day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qF7aqZuZhZ6Dqq8

[@Extra_nose_fragrances]

Any Gnat solutions???

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

Make sure you give the plants a chance to dry out. That’s been the biggest thing in helping me prevent gnats.

[@Extra_nose_fragrances]

[@Noodlesloveregyptefuntimecomes]

Hello is their a way too pay someone to breed my chameleon with theirs I only have a male

[@NeptunetheChameleon]

That is not commonly done in the chameleon hobby.
