    Here are some pics of my enclosure. I bought my small ReptiBreeze open air enclosure from petmountain.com. It was only $37.73. http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-cages-terrariums/11442-517285/zoo-med-reptibreeze-open-air-black-aluminum-screen-cage.html It's measurements are (16"L x...

    Did you check out the links on cham care that I posted on this thread for you to read? Well, I guess this enclosure is better that the aquarium. Chameleons are arboreal (creatures that chiefly live in trees). They need an enclosure that has height. You may be able to modify that enclosure to be...

    This is a great looking way to create drainage for an open air enclosure. I did this to create drainage for my ReptiBreeze. I also have a baby Veiled cham. Send me a message if you need any help setting up an enclosure. I can send you detailed pics, etc. I know of some awesome websites that you...

    I know that you spent a little dough on this set up, but it's completely wrong for this animal. It WILL NOT live long if it stays in that enclosure. With a few changes, a dart or tree frog can be housed in something similar. Chameleons require special care. It's a shame that these pet stores...

    My baby Veiled has parasites. :(

    Tesla hasn't made a wheezing sound in days and he's eating like a pig! He has gained 4 grams! He's looking great. :D He received his final injection of antibiotics last Friday and I administered his last dosage of Panacur on Wednesday. He has a follow up appointment next week. The vet will do...

    Yes, it does take some time for a cham to get used to their new environment. They are scared and usually won't eat much until they become acclimated...and that's with a proper enclosure. In this case, the cham isn't in a proper enclosure and the husbandry isn't correct. I'm sure that has a lot...

    Is your new buddy going to be a boy or a girl? How old? What are you going to name him/her? I can't wait to see him/her! Yay! :D

    Whoa...I'm not being rude, but you're set up is all wrong. You should correct it ASAP. That is a dangerous environment for your cham to be in. :eek: Chameleons are very delicate creatures, especially when they're babies. They need a proper set up to survive and flourish. I have a baby cham...

    Found this and I couldn't stop laughing.

    LOL! That's too cute. Gotta' love the little Muppet frowns that chameleons make. :p

    My baby Veiled has parasites. :(

    I understand. I'm willing to do everything possible to ensure my buddy's health. Will breeding my own feeders reduce the spread of parasites from feeders to my cham?

    My baby Veiled has parasites. :(

    Well, I know that it's normal for chameleons to hiss, but his hissing was accompanied by a wheezing sound. It wasn't his normal "I'm pissed off" sound. He also made a slight popping noise in the examining room. Antibiotics were administered in case it was the start of a respiratory infection to...

    My baby Veiled has parasites. :(

    I brought my baby Veiled to the vet last week for his first check-up while in my care. I brought a fresh poop sample to be tested, also. I was also concerned about him hissing/wheezing. I noticed it a couple of days before the appointment. He only did it when I stick my hand inside of his...

    oh the humidity

    I have a 3 month old male Veiled cham. I was having the same problem. I went to Home Depot and bought some clear plastic drop cloths. They're by the painting supplies. I cut the drop cloth to size and loosely taped it to 3 sides of the Reptibreeze with painters tape, leaving the front of the...

    I love you Penelope <3

    I'm so sorry for your loss. :*( You are a great owner and you gave her your all. I know how quickly these little creatures can make their way into your heart. You will always have fond memories of Penelope. Once again, I'm so sorry. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains...

    Does anyone else get made fun of?

    Yes, we should. :) I wonder if my neighbors ever hear me talking to my pets. They've got think that I'm nuts. LOL!:p

    Does anyone else get made fun of?

    Trust me, if you have one loyal person in your corner, consider yourself blessed. I'll take one great friend/spouse that will always be there for me through thick and thin over 50 mediocre, half a!$ acquaintances any day. It's quality...not quantity. :) Give me a couple of good friends, my...
