    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'Basic info on Misting and fogging...'

    Petr how can you constantly throw a fit when someone suggests chameleons are from arid regions and rant about their tropical environment and how much annual precipitation there is much higher than anyone thinks...and then turn around and say “ Many chameleons have no access to liquid water for a...

    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'Online Cricket Suppliers'

    I just listed what is on their website. In the summer a lot of places will offer reduced cost slower shipping options because the weather is better for shipping.

    Online Cricket Suppliers

    I play the game of where-to-get-crickets-from far too often depending on how many I need and when I need to have them by. With baby chameleons there are too many hungry mouths to have time to wait if I miss the shipping deadline, and cost definitely adds up! I made a cheat sheet for myself and...

    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'To Mist or Not to Mist...Not exactly the question...'

And while none of my chams appreciated the misters for the first 3-4 months (hated them for at least 3) all of them except one...

    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'Onion nutrients'

    One concern I would have with onions is that it is toxic to dogs and cats. The thiosulfates in the onion family can cause hemolytic anemia, where the body destroys its own red blood cells. There isn't a consensus on if it's toxic to birds, but it definitely is to cattle/horses. Too little data...

    Traveling with Chameleons

    There are a number of ways to transport your chameleon to reduce stress. Whenever your chameleon needs to go in the car to the vet, or when you're moving, it can be nerve-wracking to make sure they are going to be okay during the stressful journey. Though chameleons have specific long term needs...

    Shower Sessions for Hydration

    When a chameleon has become dehydrated, or is a newly imported wc, a shower session is one way to stimulate a long drinking session and quickly start rehydrating. Another benefit of shower sessions is eye flushing. If a chameleon has an irritation in the eye (peice of debris or shed skin)...

    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'Sleeping patterns...'

    105 degrees is much too hot for a young veiled chameleon. He's going to get burned... Is there some light in the room that be letting him stay up past his bedtime? If so then his cage should be covered by a blanket or towel to give him total darkness so he can get his beauty sleep. :)

    Comment by 'ferretinmyshoes' in 'Frequently Asked Questions - Nutrition'

    Lol, it's my first response to people who argue that they saw something on YouTube so it must be correct. I usually get a dumbfounded expression in response as people think about that one. ;) This blog would be kind of crappy without the links to all your awesome blogs!
