Veiled Chameleon UVB Light & Chameleon Lighting information

When considering an veiled chameleon for sale, be sure to only purchase captive bred veiled chameleons  for sale from an experienced veiled chameleon breeder.

Ultraviolet-B (UVB) is present in sunlight from the wavelengths of 290(nm) to 315(nm), and almost all animals on earth have some level of exposure to it. Reptiles have a particular need for UVB, as the Vitamin D they absorb from the sun is converted into D3, which plays a crucial role in their bodies. In deficit of D3, calcium cannot be utilized in their systems. This causes the bones of your Veiled Chameleon to slowly deteriorate, becoming brittle and malformed. The painful and fatal condition is referred to as Metabolic Bone Disease(MBD). Though it is one of the leading killers in the reptile industry, MBD can easily be avoided.

Veiled Chameleons are native to the Arabian Peninsula, living in sun drenched treetops. Since they’re exposed to more UVB than their friends on the forest floor, you may come to the conclusion that your pet should be under a high-output bulb. But, be mindful that they receive significantly less sun than desert dwellers. Studies have suggested that UVB can become harmful with overexposure: their life spans may even be shortened. To walk this tight-rope of reptilian lights, provide you Veiled Chameleon medium levels of UVB.

Not all light bulbs are created equally. Though scientists have worked hard to develop high quality UVB bulbs for reptile enthusiasts, they’ve only made progression in florescent T5 and T8 bulbs. Almost all of the compact bulbs available offer little to no UVB output.

Heat

Glass has a habit of retaining the elements that enter it, while screen releases them. Heat is not an exception to this rule. Depending on your area, this can be a good thing or a bad thing. If your home is 72 to 75 degrees, a single lamp on a screen enclosure will suffice to meet your temperature range. Do the same thing with glass, and the enclosure may overheat. But in cooler climates, that extra heat is more advantage than liability.

So, the battle between glass and screen is not as clean-cut as many people prefer to assume. Your decision should have a basis of climate: Think of the environment your home offers, compared to the environment a Veiled Chameleon requires. Which enclosure will make the conditions easiest to achieve?

Albino Leopard Gecko Morph

Albinos can be identified by their lack of melanin or black pigment. There are three different albino gecko morphs. Bell albino leopard geckos, rainwater albino leopard geckos, and Tremper albino leopard geckos. Each strain has distinguishing factors that help to visually differentiate each other. The Tremper Albino is the most common. It can have body coloration ranging from darker browns to soft yellows. As adults, they have silver eyes with red veins.  The Rainwater Albinos usually have grey eyes and display lighter body colors.  The Bell strain, which is the most recently discovered of the three strains is unique in that they usually have light pink colored eyes and bodies that typically have soft brown spots and lavender coloration.

Leopard geckos are some of the most popular pet geckos for sale online or at the local pet shop.  We highly recommend buying from the actual leopard gecko breeder rather than at a local pet shop.

Looking for top quality leopard geckos for sale including the best leopard gecko color morphs?  Buy leopard gecko for sale online from GeckosGeckos.com!  leopard gecko breeders are available across the country, but GeckosGeckos.com specializes in top genetics and vividly colored, calm tempered baby geckos and adult geckos for sale online.

If you are looking for a pet gecko for sale that does not require live food (insects) to eat, than you should consider the crested gecko for sale, or the gargoyle gecko for sale, as they both eat a powdered gecko diet that needs to be mixed with water.

Panther chameleon colors (Furcifer pardalis)

Chameleons can quickly change their appearance in response to temperature, environment, and mood. Scientists recently identified a key factor in their ability to do this: The lizards can “tune” the distances between nanoscale crystals in their skin that reflect light, creating a spectrum of colors.
Skin Formed by Layers of Cells
STRUCTURE
CELLS
CRYSTALS
The cells that form its skin play a significant roll in the color changes. This zoom represents 150 microns of a chameleon skin, about twice the diameter of a human hair.
How Skin Changes Color
SUBMISSIVE
NEUTRAL
EXCITED
When the light hits its skin, the cells act depending on the mood of the chameleon. Crystals would be close together in a neutral state and spread out when the chameleon gets excited. These crystals would reflect out to the epidermis the warm light, changing the chameleons color to yellow.

Panther Chameleon studies

Scientists have long thought that chameleons change color when skin cell pigments spread out along veinlike cell extensions. Beneath a layer of pigmentary skin cells, they found another layer of skin cells containing nanoscale crystals arranged in a triangular lattice. By exposing samples of chameleon skin to pressure and chemicals, the researchers discovered that these crystals can be “tuned” to alter the spacing between them. That, in turn, affects the color of light that the lattice of crystals reflects.

As the distance between the crystals increases, the reflected colors shift from blue to green to yellow to orange to red—a kaleidoscopic display that’s common among some panther chameleons as they progress from relaxed to agitated or amorous.

While male Panther Chameleons are extremely territorial and live a solitary life, it is not uncommon for males to get aggressive with one another if their communication by colors does not work. Females are a little bit more tolerant towards one another but still prefer living on their own.   You can keep multiple females together if they are raised together.  As far as male and female go, the only time they would come together would be during the breeding season.

Veiled Chameleon Humidity

When considering an veiled chameleon for sale, be sure to only purchase captive bred veiled chameleons geckos for sale from an experienced veiled chameleon breeder.

veiled chameleon for sale

Humidity

Humidity should be around 65-75% during the day, and then dry out at night, so it is similar to the natural chameleon humidity in their natural environment.  Using a misting system is key.  Live plants help, but silk synthetic chameleon plants also can be beneficial as their leaves can retain water and raise the ambient humidity for hours after each misting occurs.

We recommend the mist king for a chameleon misting system.  For ventilation, screen enclosures are a blessing, but they can be a curse for humidity. Your home’s conditions will set the stage for the climate in your chameleon’s cage. To maintain an ideal micro-climate, you must be cognizant of your location. Screen is perfect in humid environments, but in arid areas, glass may be a better option. With less exposure to air outside the cage, it is easier to manipulate the humidity levels inside these little cubes.

Ambanja Panther Chameleon Care

The Ambanja panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis) is a sub-species of panther chameleon found in the eastern and northern parts of Madagascar in a tropical forest biome. Additionally, it has been introduced to Réunion and Mauritius. The Blue Ambanja Panther Chameleon is the second most common sub species of panther chameleon partly because it has some outstanding colors and a wide range those colors as well.  Our Blue Ambanja’s are OFF THE CHARTS as far as color and temperament working with lines which originated thru Kammerflage Kreations, Tree Candy & Canvas to name a few our Blue Ambanja panther chameleon for sale stock shows vibrant blues, deep tons of purple and some with “red rain” spots. ambanja panther chameleon

The panther Chameleon is easily the most gorgeous colored and easiest to handle of all species of pet chameleon for sale.  Ambanja Panther Chameleons are fairly docile and males are known for being even “friendly”.  It is not uncommon for male panther chameleons to venture to your arm when you come to their habitat to feed them.

Ambanja Panther chameleons for sale

It is a common misconception that panther chameleons of any kind can change color to match any color of their environments. All chameleons have a natural color range with which they are born, and is dictated by their species. It is affected by temperature, mood, and light. If, for example, the color purple is not within the range of colors to which their particular species can change, then they will never turn purple. Panther chameleons are at the top of the list when it comes to care requirements but are fairly easy to care for once the setup is completed properly.  A UVB source, a 90 degree hot spot, plenty of foliage and a proper misting system, like the Mist King that we offer (by far the best misting system). An Ambanja Panther chameleon for sale can make a great first time chameleon keeping experience. Ambanja Panther chameleons do not have extreme care needs like others in the chameleon world. They can adapt to changes in temp and humidity much better then most other chameleons can. For this reason Panther chameleons for sale should not be over looked just because of their higher price, they are by far and away the crown jewel of all Chameleons for sale. A captive bred Panther Chameleon for sale will be much hardier then any WC chameleon out there.

Before purchasing a baby panther chameleon, be sure to find the right panther chameleon breeder offering captively bred baby panther chameleon for sale.  Also, consider if the chameleon for sale is 100% guaranteed to be captive bred.  Because wild caught baby panther chameleons for sale could contain parasites.

baby tegus for sale

Description: The Argentinian  tegu can reach an adult size of 4 feet or even longer (including the tail). They have a fairly distinctive red ground color with white and black dots and stripes over the entire body.

baby tegus for sale Enclosure: With all the different enclosures available on the market today choosing an enclosure could become quite confusing. We would recommend a simple wooden vivarium with glass sliding front doors. Fitted with a heating system and lighting system as mentioned below they just seem to make the perfect habitat for a pet reptile. They look nice and can be ordered in a colour to match your household furniture. They hold the heat well, are easy to clean and durable. We would not recommend one of the many different glass enclosures on the market today as they are very expensive compared to the wooden equivalent and they do not hold the heat nearly as well. For a fully grown Black and White Tegu they should have a 6ft x 4ft x 3ft enclosure, when these lizards are young they can be kept in a smaller enclosure but they will need upgrading as they grow.
baby tegus for sale |  Temperature: Tegus should be maintained at 85 degrees with a basking spot of 100 degrees. You should create a heat gradient by putting your heat source only at one end of the enclosure, this will create a “hot” end and a “cool” end of the enclosure as this will give your animal a choice of temperatures in the enclosure so that he always feels comfortable. We always feel that the safest way is to use a thermostatically controlled heating system. The are many systems on the market today that are perfect for the job in hand. An overhead ceramic element or reptile radiator connected to a temp stat or a pulse stat is one way, or a coloured spot bulb connected to a dimming thermostat is equally as good. Both these systems will provide a very controllable heat source. There are other heaters out on the market such as AHS all in one heaters/thermostat that will also do a great job of heating the enclosure.
baby tegus | Lighting: Argentinian red tegus are diurnal and need exposure to full spectrum UVA and UVB lighting. 12% Arcadia Florescent Tubes are the best choice in UV lighting for a Tegu.
baby tegu  | Humidity: These lizards should have humidity levels of 60-80%. This can be maintained by misting the enclosure twice daily, devices such as waterfalls and foggers can also be used in the enclosure to help maintain the adequate humidity levels required. They also require a large water dish to allow them to soak in the water, this will also help to increase the humidity levels in the enclosure.
Baby Tegu | Substrate: Tegus like to burrow, and need a substrate that is absorbent and easy to clean such as, Kritters Crumble, Orchid Bark etc.
Baby Tegus for sale | Furnishing: There are lots of furnishings available that are suitable for these lizards. A large water bowl is suitable so that your lizard is able to soak in the water if necessary.Plants and other decor are available to make the enclosure look nice
Selecting a Healthy animal: When selecting your new Black and White Tegu its important to check that the animal is in good health and is kept in a clean and adaquate enclosure. Looking around the shop will give you a good idea of how the animals are kept.. If the shop is kept clean and maintained well, the staff are friendly and helpful and the enclosures are kept clean with bright, alert animals you can be sure the animals are healthy.. The staff should be happy to show you the animal and talk you through the up keep and answer any questions you may have.
Temperament: When young these lizards can be very nervous and skittish, but with perseverance and regular handling when they are young they can become very docile animals. As these lizards grow larger they will become more docile.
Shedding: These lizards will shed their skin throughout their lives. You will notice that the colours of your Tegu will dull at the start of the shedding process and the skin will start to peel away in pieces. Humidity in the enclosure can be increased prior and during this period to aid this process and you will notice your lizard bathing more frequently.
Handling: Handling is recommended when these lizards are young as they can be quite nervous and skittish, 10-15 minute periods of handling is adequate to get them used to human contact. These lizards rarely bite but they may squirm in your hands trying to break loose. If handled regularly when young these lizards can become very docile and make fantastic pets.
Diet: Tegus are typically considered omnivores, although many captive diets do not reflect this tendency. In addition to an assortment of appropriately sized insects (crickets, mealworms, waxworms, roaches), various high calcium fruits and vegetables should be regularly offered. Willingness to accept fruits will vary from animal to animal, but even a small amount can add a lot of variety and essential nutrients to the tegu diet. Rodents may be offered, though sparingly, as they tend to be high in fat, and tegus are simply not designed to digest large quantities of fur. Instead, a balanced dietary supplement can be created using raw, ground turkey, whole eggs (with shell), and bone meal or an equivalent calcium/vitamin supplement. Tegus grow quickly and have very active metabolisms. As such, regular feeding is necessary. There is no rule of thumb as to exactly how much to offer, but tegus should have a filled-out appearance when they are full. Start by offering young tegus food daily and adjust quantity and frequency as needed. Calcium and vitamin supplementation is especially important for young tegus. A high quality calcium supplement complete with vitamin D3 should be lightly dusted on all food every other feed.
Water: Fresh water should be provided daily.
Maintenance: The enclosure should be spot cleaned every day. Simply pick up any unwanted debris or feaces this will help prevent any bacteria build up in the enclosure. Every 4 – 6 weeks we would recommend that the enclosure is completely stripped out. Once you have removed your animal to a safe alternative warm temporary home, remove all furnishings and substrate, disinfect the enclosure totally making sure you get into all the corners. Disinfect all furnishing and rinse, replace substrate with new and then replace everything back into the enclosure and heat back to correct temperature before replacing your animal.
Sexing: Sexing Red Tegu’s is a very hard thing to do. Males do get bigger than the females. Males develop large jowls underneath the chin as they mature.
Breeding: To successfully breed RedTegu’s you must hibernate both the Male and the Female through the winter season. I would say that the clutches can be anywhere between 10 to 70 eggs! Once she lays the eggs, they should be removed for incubation. Be careful not to rotate the eggs as they are removed. Place them in an incubator, with a temperature of 86 to 90 degrees. Now the waiting begins. Keep monitoring the temperature and humidity. also, check the eggs very gently by touch, to make sure they have a leathery feel, not too hard nor too soft. I would recommend spending extra money on a quality thermostat. The eggs will incubate between 45 and 60 days before hatching. Provide Vermiculite as a substrate for the eggs in the incubator.
