*Show us your pet reptiles.....*

Thought I would update this to show how my Cham has changed since the above photo.
Coming on nicely:

Thought I'd give this thread a bit of CPR. Hopefully the photos finally work!

That's a six foot vivarium he's in, he's grown like mario after a shroom. :D



This one decided to have a nibble on his plant for no apparent reason.

How easy is it to look after chameleons? Ive wanted one for years but I kept reading they were difficult to keep, humidity, temperature etc.

The setups are easy enough, they have a reputation for being difficult because they don't tolerate lacklustre keeping very well. There are pretty much four core bits of kit, a heat lamp, thermostat for the heat lamp, UVB light and a fogger/dripper/something for humidity. Everything else is pretty much positioning and tweaking things like the drip rate for the right humidity etc.
 
I called mine Marmite as the main colour is exactly the same.

I've seen one called Roly, (they roll into a ball), and I've seen one rather cleverly called Ripley. See if you can work out why?
 
Owning my green iguana now for almost 14 years and only couple weeks ago I found out something very special about this species of lizard.

They have a 3rd eye lol on top there head I always thought it's a point that breaks to start a shed but nope they see light change. So if a bird pray cast a dark shadow over head they can get ahead start warning.
 
Well the name Monty stuck. And he's now out grown his old enclosure so bought a new 3ft enclosure, root, vine and some led lights. Going to get a ceramic heater as well i think just to bring the ambient temp up a little bit.

A ceramic heater will kill the humidity so be aware of that as it might cause shedding issues. I used ceramics for my retics at first but peeling a snake that large when it comes off in individual scales is not fun. I use AHS heaters now and they hold humidity a lot better. :)
 
I have a chameleon that can't change colour.


He has a reptile dysfunction.
 
They are reliable, and stable temperatures too. I don't think I've needed to check my temps after the first year, they're rock solid. They take a bit longer to warm up in the mornings but it means a more natural heat cycle (if you bother cycling it at all).
