This is probably one of the best chameleon advice videos I've seen on UA-cam. Great job!
Thank you 💚
HER WHOLE PAGE IS AMAZING I LEARN SO MUCH IN JUST 1 DAY I STARTED WATCHING HER YESTERDAY AND I FEEL LIKE A EXPERT!!!!
Your videos are GREAT…. I am going to get a panther this spring. I am going to take this month to buy my enclosure, accessories and the vinyl background. All based on your videos and confirmed by my own research. I am going to get the plants now so they have several months to acclimate and grow in the enclosure. From what I have seen, some folks get a little frustrated when they buy the plants, the enclosure and the chameleon around the same time. The plants need a head start, in my humble opinion…. ;-)
Thanks again for your great videos!
Some people binge watch Netflix
I binge watch your awesome channel lol
Hahaha love this comment 😂💚
Amazing videos, I feel much more comfortable with my upcoming 1st chameleon purchase after watching your content.
Great to hear!
Because I live in a hurricane prone area, I'm I the process of crafting a collapsible enclosure! If everything goes well, I may even offer to sell them! They would be perfect for home use/evacuation use/ or if need be, vacation use. I'm using the standard 24"×24"×48". If it turns out well, I'll let you know! 😁
Oooh love that idea!! Definitely keep me updated.
@Trey Camero once I get my prototype finished, I will let everyone know! I already have interest from a growing number of people!
Congrats on 10k🥳 thank you for all your help I have learned so much from your videos.
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks, you really covered everything!
You’re welcome! I always try to anticipate the common questions 😅
We have a Zen habitats hybrid enclosure. It is really great. They provided us with an additional screen top, that we installed on the bottom of the cage in place of of them PVC bottom. So essentially we have a screen bottom, screen below the door and a screen top. We have great airflow with this setup and easy to clean the bottom still. We installed some dragon ledges on the panels and it made our cage easy to setup.
Thanks for sharing!! The screen bottom was definitely a good move to help with the airflow 👏🏻👏🏻
This helped me so much thanks you!
You're welcome!
You can also join 2 reptibreeze xls together. The mesh is easy to take out of the 2 side panels, and then screw both of the sides together ❤
Great suggestion!
I was just looking at that cage to see if I would be able to do exactly that for a larger budget friendly enclosure. Thanks for the info!
Great video and great advice. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I was on time for the first time 😺😺
Woohooo 😁
im thinking of convincing my parents to let me get a chameleon for my 13th birthday after i do months of research. im looking at a male veiled chameleon, but i dont know if its beginner friendly. what should i start out with?
Where do u put the heat bulb in your enclosure
In one of the back corners on top of the enclosure: ua-cam.com/video/CGWkNvLTISg/v-deo.html
notes im taking, dont mind me
cage size - 24x24x48
Do you recommend the Deluxe Chameleon Kit? It’s the only one in my area :)
I actually made a kit that is sold online that has everything you need. Here’s the video on it: ua-cam.com/video/CcfHudXxXcQ/v-deo.html
Hallo, I really love your videos!!! I have a little idea for a video for you, if you are interested in that. That is plants and trees for your chameleon, what some you can use and some you can not use. I think it could be very exciting to hear about. Sorry for the wrong wording or other mistakes, I am from Denmark and am not good to writing in English
I have a video like that already recorded, just need to edit it. In the meantime, I talk about that at 14:15 of this video: ua-cam.com/video/n2H-VubFs3A/v-deo.html
Has anyone ever taken the glass doors off the tank and made their own screen doors? Would that be enough airflow?
What tank are you referring to?
Why screen vs bars like a bird cage? Wouldn’t a bird flight cage work and be easier to attach things to?
There’s a few reasons why a bird cage wouldn’t be ideal. First being bugs would easily be able to come in and out of the enclosure, the larger gaps make it more challenging to control things like temperatures & humidity, and the larger gaps on the top would allow for more UVB to penetrate which might sound like a good thing but without a solarmeter those levels could be too high/dangerous for your chameleon. That being said there are definitely people who successfully use bird cages, it’s just not an industry recommendation.
I did buy the beginning kit thing that you despise but I modified it for my baby I bought other stuff but used the cage and other stuff that came with it but I completely changed it I plan on buying those school trash cans and putting screen on top for the tree and for its uvb
General kenobi!
Fun fact if you make your own don't use pressure or treated wood, also means it's that much more tougher because of the naughts
Thanks for sharing!
DIY CAGES YOU CAN ALSO PURCHASE ON EBAY...
Oooh good to know! I mentioned eBay for all enclosures :)
I got the LED repti breeze 24'x24'×48'. I live in the desert. I have a mist king and repti fogger. Im bout to get the bioactive substrate and a bio bag (im seting up before i buy my chameleon) Im thinking about making pvc or plexiglass detachable side walls for my screen enclosure just incase i have trouble with humidity or temps! Thoughts? Thanks for the videos!
I would measure the humidity levels to see what you’re at now before making additional changes. But if they need to be higher then your idea is a solid idea.
This video talks about humidity levels: ua-cam.com/video/tktSq3nZ9g4/v-deo.html and this one talks about ways to raise humidity levels: ua-cam.com/video/kNhWocyfJAo/v-deo.html
@@NeptunetheChameleon Thanks!!
Made plexiglass sides for our male veiled chameleon and it has been so helpful. Even made them so they can be easily removed. Hope your set up went/is going well
@@ashleyshannon5620 have not set it up yet. Still have everything, just waiting because something came up.
Hi I am a big fan I was asking does a female chameleon need a Male to be the eggs fertilized?hopes you answer
Hi :) Yes she does.
Can I get the zoo med chameleon kit?
No. That would be a terrible idea. The cage is too small and comes with the incorrect lighting. You’re better off buying everything separately. Feel free to check out my Amazon Store for product recommendations: www.amazon.com/shop/neptunethechameleon?ref=cm_sw_sm_r_inf_pub_neptunethechameleon__mw_xIgR3xYBau3t4
I want to get a dragon stand cage but they don’t have any more that come with the drain system any suggestions
You could always reach out to them! I show my drainage setup in my enclosure tour videos 👍
@@NeptunetheChameleon You’re the reason I want to get one from the company but he said not till another month or so for some reason he doesn’t have them with the drainage
Hi just wondering how much should an adult male veiled chameleon weigh?
I think there’s a whole form on the chameleon sub you can look at and compare, she also did a how to weigh your chameleon video on this page so I would scroll and find that video :)))
Thanks
Would you consider a glass one over a screen one if the room the chameleon is in gets cold, around lower 70s? Or just some heat lamps and humidifiers should be fine with a screen cage to keep the heat up?
I would still use a screen enclosure. Chameleons are fine as long as it doesn’t consistently get below 60F.
I want to buy one of the screen enclosures on here from dragon I was wondering where did you buy the wrap for the sides?
Mine are in exo terra glass 36x36x18 now
They’re from petbackdrops.com. Code: neptune1 will save you 10% off your order!
What do you think of the tamura designs I’m so torn between that and the dragon strand
I've heard great things, but I don't have any experience with them.
Hi i know its not really your expertise but would you recommend a smal exo terra for a dwarf chameleon
Hello! I'd suggest looking/asking on chameleonforums.com since I am not familiar with their care requirements.
Is it possible to make a screen enclosure bioactive???
Yes. You would just need to line the bottom/sides with something so the soil doesn't fall out. Here is a good resource: www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/intro-to-bio-activity.2429/
Where did you get the 6 foot tall enclosures from?
I got it from a local reptile shop. It's a custom build.
I have a extra glass enclosure laying around (18x18x24).. so this clearly wouldn’t work for a chameleon and I’d need to get a bigger cage?
Correct!
Congratulations on 10k subscribers.😃
Now on 100,000. 🤣
Good luck. 😁👍
THANK YOU!
My dog name apollo
It's a good name!
What kind of chameleon is your all green no horned one? I think it’s Luna. She or he is very cute 🥰
She is a female Cristifer Parson's chameleon.
@@NeptunetheChameleon Thank you my parents and I are trying to decide on a chameleon are parsons friendly? What would you recommend for a first chameleon?
@@risastudios2322 Parsons are hard to find and very expensive. Here is my video on the best beginner chameleon: ua-cam.com/video/uBaU92kvMKQ/v-deo.html
Are the vines that you put in your chameleon's cage fake? Can we have fake vines and if so does it need to be from pet related brands?
I recommend using natural textured branches. I get mine from outside and made a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/QwMzM6Zuzpg/v-deo.html
It depends on where in the world you live
It sure does! And the species of chameleon you’re keeping.
Please help my baby veiled chameleon Sammy is eating the leave ( real leaves ) in her cage and I’m getting really stressed 😩 what could happen and what should I do?
As long as they are live plants there is no reason to worry. That is common chameleon behavior. Just make sure all your plants are live plants, so she is able to digest them.
hi do you think locusts are good to feed a chameleon?
Yes!
Is a 16’16’20 good?? (Is from zoomed) NOT GLASS
If that’s in inches, then that’s way too small for a chameleon. You want a 24”x24”x48” enclosure.
I have a question. I’ve had my vailed chameleons for seven month now. I have a female and a male that had been in the same XL Cage. They mated and I separated them. I moved the male because I didn’t want to stress the female. The male is in his new XL cage and he has been so active going for top to bottom and hasn’t eaten. Is this because he is in a new cage or should I be worried? Also the female is black and orange is that because she is gravid, I read it was but want to double check. Thanks for your help love your videos.
I think that is because he is getting used to his new home. Yes, a black and orange female is showing her gravid colors. Here is my video on egg laying: ua-cam.com/video/Dy6sIPvNGUw/v-deo.html
So i just got a panther chameleon and i live in a really dry and sometimes pretty cold so i have a humidifier in my room which helped but i was wondering if you had a recommendation to help the heat issue because i was wondering if i put a small heater by the cage somewhere if that would be okay
How cold does it get in the room they are in?
@@NeptunetheChameleon low 50 to high 40s
I have had my baby chameleon for about a week. He is approximately 3 months old, purchased from a reputable online breeder. My question is, Is seems to very very afraid of me and doesn't seem to eat. I have only seen him eat once. I started with BSL, and dubia. Then I tried crickets, assuming that is what he was fed. When should I start to worry about him being so afraid and not readily eating. I am cup feeding and I have a food cup run on the way. Any info would be great. I'm a nervous first time dad.
That’s all to be expected for a new chameleon. Here is my advice for new keepers: ua-cam.com/video/2IESxfzFnmc/v-deo.html and here is my video for reasons why your chameleon isn’t eating: ua-cam.com/video/waCeIkQE1hw/v-deo.html
Hi my comilion is grumpy and trys biting every one and is shaking when he has a big heat lamp
Sounds like a stressed and scared chameleon to me.
@@NeptunetheChameleon Or it has a aggressive personality
Ya I have been giving him a lot of things to climb and we have a loud hose
I bought the chameleon kit 😭 I'm so sad. But I'll still be using it for a baby veiled chameleon. Can you give me some advice? I'm curious to hear what you have to say about it before I get a chameleon
If you want my honest opinion I wouldn’t use the kit. I would buy everything separately and make sure you’re setting yourself up for success from the beginning. Chameleons are not animals that you can afford to make mistakes with - it’s best to do it right from the start :)
@@NeptunetheChameleon I understand 🙃 I can't return my kit unfortunately. I'm not using any plastic plants; I've decided to use branches I've found and to have live plants in my enclosure. The temperature stays between 25C and 30C while the humidity is always above 75%. It's by a window so the plants get light. I'm using both bulbs that came with the kit but will get the light you keep recommending within two weeks. 🥹 I'm so excited, discouraged, and overwhelmed 😭
I have space for a 24x18x36 enclosure....do you think this would be adequate for a vailed chameleon?
No. They need at least 24x24x48.
@@NeptunetheChameleon Are we sure the chameleon is going to really notice the difference? Of course bigger is better, but I'm certain there are people who have kept chameleons in enclosures that are shorter than 48 inches tall ie 36 inches....and the chameleon did just fine. Certainly there is some wiggle room on the exact size....its not as if the chameleon is moving in with a tape measure handy...and if the enclosure is not exactly 24x24x48 it's going to be super disappointed.
@@dandobrowolski5818 Chamemeons are arboreal animals and benefit from the ability to climb. Additionally a 48” tall enclosure is needed to provide the correct UVB and temperature gradients. As discussed in the video, a 36x18x36” enclosure can also be used. What you described isn’t sufficient to provide the correct gradients and movement needed for a chameleon.
@@NeptunetheChameleon Maybe I've described the enclosure incorrectly to you. It's 24 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 36 inches tall...it sits on a cabinet that is additionally 32 inches tall. I'm pretty sure I can provide adequate uvb lighting and basking heat in such an enclosure...and still give the chameleon plenty of room to move around and climb, while still giving it a naturalistic environment with appropriate plants and climbing structures and cover...etc. But I appreciate your advice....I'll take it in consideration.
My chameleon is comfortable enough to hand feed it could this be a form of trust? I still continue to cup feed it but its comfortable enough to where hand feeding doesnt bother it
That is definitely a certain level of trust 👏🏻
@@NeptunetheChameleon My chameleon just had its shed 🙌 it was a clean shed
Hi when will you be making a live stream
Hmm maybe sometime soon 🤔 I don’t usually plan them far in advance. Just when I have the time.
Okay
🦎🐛🐞🦖good advice but you talk fast ps what about plants 🪴 and how to set up your cage I’ve read they don’t like being held?👍
Feel free to use the UA-cam speed settings to slow down the video :) Here’s my plant video: ua-cam.com/video/oiKA30cm5-c/v-deo.html & cage build video: ua-cam.com/video/n2H-VubFs3A/v-deo.html
You once said that chameleons don’t absorb water through their skin
Your whole channel is cap 🤣
It’s true that they don’t absorb water through their skin. Only amphibians do that :)
I bought the bundle 😔
Oh noooo :( Hopefully you can get new lights and bigger enclosure soon!
ok cages are recomended cause it is what the stoew sella . just build a jungle . screw the pet store
