Yeah she has definitely fattened up since i got her and has shed multiple times. She drinks better but still not daily and not from a dripper i have to hand spray her a few times daily to get her to drink. She looks cute but really she is not so nice. She gets angry really easily now that she...

I have had my Chameleon for a few months now and she is or was finally healthy looking. I noticed last week that she had some white on her eye area but not the actual opening. I cant tell if its crust or shed or what but appears to be on both eyes. She has been acting normal until today she was...

Good news apparently sometime last night or early this morning she finally pooped. I never thought I would be excited about such an occurance. Also she ate really well today so maybe she just had a full belly. Thank you all for helping me out I would have been lost on what to do with out you.

She drinks pretty regularly now. Everytime I mist she comes over to drink or just to get a little wet. I giver her a mix of small to large crickets to see what she wants but she only eats the larger ones and doesnt seem to have a problem getting them down. Since its been cold lately the the...

She is getting used to being misted but it just depends on her mood. She still hasn't pooped yet but she ate more crickets today and is actively searching out the cage. Does your chameleons have a certain bedtime spot? Mine sleeps in the same corner every night as soon as her lights go out.

Due to zoonotic diseases we arent allowed to bring our pets to the zoo and none of our reptile keepers have a whole lot of experience with chameleons. I have no idea how old she is I am thinking between 4 and 6 months but really its just a guess. I will ask around to see if there is another...

Ok well i will hunt out some different food options for her... benefits of working at a zoo:) Should I shower her and if so how do you do that? And I dont think she really likes being misted. Also do you think the season changing could upset her eating... I live in Texas and winter just started...

The only vet i trust with reptiles wont be back until wednesday so until then does anyone have any suggestions on what to do if she is impacted or if she is just malnurished? And what would she be acting like if she was impacted? Anything you can think of would be helpful she is getting more...

If you look at the pics look at her hip which kind of protrudes. Thats what really worries me it that she is too skinny especcially since she doenst eat much

I am not sure when her last fecal was she has been living with me since sunday and i havent seen any evidence of it. I have my parents babysitting her while i am gone they are being trained daily on how to do it all.

I tried to give her the wax worms just to see if she was bored with crickets. I hope its just the adjustment of moving. She hasnt yet produced a fecal either which i assume is because she hasnt consumed enough. Should i look into force feeding her? I am going out of town next weekend and want to...

My girl seems to be doing good now. I got her some new live plants and got her to eat a wax work along with some crickets. Is it normal that she only ate 2 one day 5 the next and 2 and a wax worm today? She has been drinking much better and is more active(every time i walk near the cage she...

She is about 4 or so inches from nose to base of tail. She leaves her tail curled mostly and i am trying to stay out of her cage as much as i can. She ate 2 crickets (lrg) as soon as i fed her today. Instead of getting one long uvb lamp could i get another compact, my lid holds 2 compacts so if...

Thanks so much. She looks young but i am not sure. She is around 4 or 5 inches long and has a good green color. Her cage is all mesh 20(h)x18(w)x12(d) has a 5.0 (compact) uvb lamb and a 75 watt basking light to maintain temps. Should I get another uvb lamp since it is compact? I have seen none...

I just got a female veiled and her name is now Girl George (boy george reference) or Gi Gi.
