    Should my chameleons heat lamp be on all day?

    Some choose to keep the basking/heat light on for just the first half of the day and some opt for the entirety. I go by what my chameleons are doing, which is basking at different times so it’s the full 12 hours for them. Depending on which species of chameleon you have, it’s age and what...

    Difficult Shed and staying in one spot

    Yes, you want to give each one twice a month. Which multivitamin are you using? If it is a Repashy, it should already have preformed vitamin A and no extra is needed (and can be detrimental).

    Difficult Shed and staying in one spot

    Hi. From the pics, I can’t be absolutely certain that it isn’t a burn. Are you able to get a top view, looking down upon it? I just want to have 100% certainty. Chams do shed differently when they get older. When babies and young, they go ‘poof’ over their entire body at once and it’s quick. As...

    Health & husbandry

    Usually 5-6” is a decent depth. I used to make my lay bins much deeper than that, until the day one of my girl had her tunnel collapse on her and I had to save her. (Totally my own fault) Keeping it around 6” or so helps not only so they can possibly dig themselves out if needed, but they do dig...

    Baby vs Now Development Pics

    Here’s a couple of mine…panthers. My sweet little girl Kali when I first got her. *she’s a nosy be girlie. This was when I realized that she is my petite purple princess. But even now I never know exactly what color she will be. Maybe more of a pink? Sometimes more of a muddy color to blend...

    It looks like your pretty Milagro is getting her big girl patterns. :) Do you have a lay bin set up yet for her?

    Lucky’s eye

    Lucky went back to the vet today and unfortunately I don’t have the update that I’d like to have. For all of the antibiotic and anti inflammatory he’s had, it’s had zero effect on his eye. While his eye is no longer bulging out, he does still keep it partially closed and it does have that bulge...

    Tail Tuesday

    Lucky often has unusual tail curls, but I usually leave him in peace. Not this time though.

    Strange Behavior in ~3 year old Male Panther Chameleon

    He looks like a healthy guy & his enclosure looks/sounds good. You could add more branches or vines. I’d be giving the calcium at every feeding. I wonder if he’s just kind of coming into his own. Mature males will often do routine patrols of their enclosures to check for rivals or mates. If...

    Strange Behavior in ~3 year old Male Panther Chameleon

    Hi. Pics of Dewey and his enclosure will most definitely be a huge help here. Also, what is his age and what supplements and schedule he receives?

    Found a strange critter under a plant pot outside. Google says it’s a Brahminy blindsnake. Cute little guy, but its musk smells like the dirtiest cricket bin ever. Thankfully I didn’t pick it up with my hand.

    Timer didn't go off

    It’s fine in terms of night time humidity. However, do check that the timer won’t be going off during the day instead, as heat plus high humidity greatly increases risks for respiratory infection.

    Treat day for Mr. Chameleonaire

    That is his seductive dance to entice the ladies. I’d guess the treats make him just as excited as if he’s seen a beautiful girl. Seems to be a thing with Jackson’s (based upon my viewing of now 2 videos of Jax doing that).

    how to get hornworm cocoons to hatch

    After they’ve formed their chrysalis, I keep them on paper towel. I have lately started putting chrysalis’s into fridge for diapause to increase hatching success.

    Advice needed 🙏

    If he’s eating and drinking on his own, I don’t understand why he would need any supplemental food. Personally, I wouldn’t want to stress him any more than absolutely necessary.

    Chameleons humble abode

    I agree that your guy is needing some serious upgrading. That is probably also why he’s fallen. We would love to help you and your fella make the needed improvements so that you share many healthy and happy years together. :)
