Wow. I can’t add much more that hasn’t already been said, other than I too wish you the best and I do hope you’ll take good care of and love yourself.

Absolutely as an occasional treat. Just make sure it is clean and free of any pesticides or fertilizers. I have hibiscus in pots that I cleaned when I bought them as long as a couple of years ago. Stella has one inside her enclosure, but it doesn’t do very well. I have a super strong plant light...

I’m sorry, but I’m having a hard time getting past this. I understand the theory/process, but do I understand correctly that you did this to Hunter’s hemipenes prolapse? Why? I must have missed this post…why didn’t you take him to the vet and have the protrusion/prolapse tucked back in and...

Stella doesn’t allow the hibiscus plant in her enclosure to grow blooms, so I have to steal them from an outside plant to give her an infrequent treat. She really hates the phone camera or she would have chomped the whole thing down instantly.

Very definitely a male. Handsome little guy too.

I keep a back up supply of plants for my girl Stella. Even then though, she always has the ugliest and barest looking of enclosures. I can’t keep up with her. 😂

Pet stores often sell babies that are way too young. A good breeder won’t send their veileds off until they are at least 3 months old, and panthers grow a bit slower, so they may be a bit older. I’ve seen veiled babies that were probably only a few weeks old in a local pet store. 🥺

I would take him out while you set it up and make sure to have everything that you need right there. I had brought in an extra tall plant just to put my chameleon on to hang out while I redid everything. I made sure to be quick and I did keep a close eye just to make sure there wouldn’t be any...

Make sure to give your new plant a good drainage layer in the bottom of the pot to avoid root rot. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes too. Just about every plastic pot that I’ve bought I’ve had to drill drainage holes thru.

Happy birthday beautiful Chanel! 🐷🎂 Those baby pics! Squeeee! 🤗

Hi. Beautiful boy! 🥰 You’ve got some great larger plants. Are you looking to add smaller ones? Pothos is the workhorse for chameleons and does come in different varieties. If you place it on the bottom and train it to grow upwards, the leaves will grow bigger. Tradescantia zebrina is another...

Hi. I’m going to guesstimate a little bit younger at about 2-3 months old in those pics. Are you certain you have a boy though? It’s hard to tell from your pics. Boys will have prominent tarsal spurs on their back feet, like this. Boys will also start to be showing these kinds of patterns at...

I use the methods in @Beman blog still. One of the most important things I’ve found is to keep my body as far away as I can and just fully extend my hand out while not making any eye contact at all. Eventually neither of those things will matter much, as your chameleon has learned to have some...

Thank you! Little cutie! 🤗 I am a ‘cat lady’ (currently with no cats) so do love to see them all.

Where is the obligatory pic of this kitten who lives on the wild side?

Looks like a piece of stuck shed to me. It should flake off when ready.

You want to use the calcium without D3 at every feeding. The multivitamin/D3 combo you use for only one feeding, every other week or two times a month, whichever is easiest for you. Lightly dust his feeders with the supplement. You don’t want or need them to look like powdered donuts. I put a...

These are both vitamins and using that particular Repashy daily is going to overdose on vitamins D3 and A. Both are fat soluble, so aren’t quickly eliminated in the body and can build up to toxic levels. You need a phosphorus-free calcium without D3. Repashy Supercal is a good one and doesn’t...

Interesting. I use diatomaceous earth all over for pest control where I can’t use chemicals.

Sounds like you’ve got a good grasp on things so far. I’ll probably tell you things you might already know, so just smile and nod if you need to. 😂The minimum size enclosure for adult chameleons is 2x2x4’, so as long as you have that, it’s fine. I just like encouraging people to go larger if...
