This is a warning about the new Madagascar chameleon quota species. Many of you are going to see (especially in North America) many new Calumma and Furcifer species for sale. These species are extremely neat and exotic species. However they are not beginner species similar to Furcifer pardalis...

As I'm sure you are all very curious as to why your pics are coming out sideways, here is the short and quick answer/ fix.
When snapping a picture of your little dinosaur it depends on your camera phone on which way is facing up for the phones programming. If you are using tapatalk than there...

I've been growing orchids for about 9 years now, but only became a serious addict in the last 6 years. I've grown all types of orchids, carefully mastering the care of one species before attempting a new one. No, none of my orchids are in my...
As all keepers know, Chameleon’s don’t recognize still water. A Chameleon could essentially drop dead of thirst right beside a nice, clean bowl of fresh sparkling water and not even know it was there. In the wild they get their water needs met by licking droplets of moving water off of leaves...

I’d like to share a method that I have personally used a few times with great success, when Vitamin overdose supplementation was the suspected culprit. This is just my personal experience, and I have no medical data supporting the physiology of such method, just some basic know how and logic...
It was some time since I posted something so might do an update! :)
Stella is growing fine, drinking alot and is basically running around all over her cage. A very active chameleon.
She did today decide to freshening herself up by shedding for christmas! (Pic below) The place she is in on the...
Hello everyone!
Call me crazy but today I sat 5 straight hours in my chair next to Stella´s open cage, just looking at her, feeding her & simply socialized with her. Never gets tired of her! She now is brave enough to walk around like normal like she used to do when I was at the other side of...
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...
