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...- ferretinmyshoes

Egg Laying and the Laying Bin
I free range my chameleons so I really have to pay close attention to when it’s time to lay eggs. I think one of the most important things is to have a gram scale and weigh her once a week. If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

So in lack of anything to do I just might post some blog post´s :)
Please, keep in mind english is not my major language. :eek:
So, Stella my veiled chameleon is now about 2-3 month´s old and have been in my care for about a month now. And she is doing great! She eats, drinks, sleeps & poops...
this is a day by day diary of the prey intake for each of my adult male panther and veiled chameleons. Panthers and veilds got the same meals, except where otherwise noted.
All prey was gutloaded except the hornworms (which were fed off immediately after purchase). Butterworms were gutloaded...
So I have a question for all of you...
When you change your lighting due to longer or shorter daylight, do you take as many day to get it right as I do? I have a great plan and think I execute it well, but every day something else is just not right. :mad: I think I've got it now, but it is...
Gutloaded insects should be the primary diet for your veiled chameleon, but they sometimes also enjoy directly eating vegetables, flowers, and small amounts of fruit.
pieces of leafy greens
romaine
kale (not daily - some is great, but a lot may not be)
collards (not daily - some is good...
Hi guys..been gone and busy all summer taking care of my gorgeous
Breeder Bearded Dragon babies..My Olivia & Newton had 94 eggs and 94 baby beardies..My Chameleon Rango Jr was not too happy but He was on my shoulder the whole time helping me keep them fed and happy. I was given these two...
I've had such a bad week. Not entirely, but generally overall its been pretty miserable. I cannot remember a time when I have felt anything close to how awful and moody I feel right now. Almost every piece of news I got this week was disappointing, depressing, frantic, aggravating, enraging...
basic feeding of your feeder prey does not have to be expensive or difficult :)
You probably eat some fruit and veggies every day, so save a little of that for your bugs (the ends or peels off of carrots, leftover squash, a few leaves of romaine or mustard greens or arugula from your salad...
For added prey variety, Firebrats are an easy low-maintenance small feeder option (good for babies and pygs but not overly suitable for larger chameleons)
How to:
Get a Plastic bin (with smooth sides). Lid is optional – whether you need it will depend on how humid your room is, but you’ll...
The flesh and the leaves, the flowers and the seeds are edible and nutritious.
The Leaves are a good source of Calcium, Protein, beta Carotene, Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.
The Flowers are a good...
Thinking about getting a chameleon? Awesome! They're awesome pets, and it's a great hobby to get into. However, they're tricky to keep, very sensitive to a lot of things, and a lot can go wrong if you're not willing to put in the research, money, and time.
My husband and I just purchased...
My personal notes on chameleon care.
Noob test: I ask all noobs to buy a cricket keeper and 50 or so crickets. Try to keep them alive for a month focusing on gut loading watering and weekly cleaning.
Crickets
I use 4 large smokey clear plastic bins. The insides of the bin need to...
For the past 2 weeks, I've been giving Oliver the opportunity to free range. I would leave the cage door open, and put a branch leading to the FR, for 4+ hours.
He never even seemed interested. I tried everything from putting worms on the branch leading to the FR, showing him his feeding...
Derp made it to Louisiana safe and sound today! He's been quite the delight so far. I had him shipped to my parents' house since my apartment complex has a problem with losing packages, I unboxed him there and let him ride home with me in a small bird carrier. He decided he was going to hang...
I have seen little on the topic of skin cancer in chameleons on the forums or online in general, so I thought I'd write my long story here for those interested. I also thought I'd include the costs involved in this situation as there was definitely some sticker shock along the way and regardless...
Like many others on here, I'm hoping to keep a blog to document my sweet little baby as he grows. His arrival date is set for the morning of August 20th. I couldn't be more beside myself with excitement and anxiety (the good kind).
The Chameleon Farm will always receive glowing recommendations...
This is been our first week together and so far he's been adjusting quite nicely. It hasn't been without it's stress for the little guy but from what I can tell he's starting to lighten up, literally. He seems to be very active, he's gotten used to the rain dome and actually goes and sits...
I got him from Kammerflage Kreations two days ago. He was hatched late April/early may and I love the little guy more than I expected! First a little about Snodgrass, he is an ambanja, dad is Grimbold and grandpa on his moms side is Marach. I'm keeping him in the beginner cage from Kammerflage...
So, I just got an Ambilobe Male from Sang at Komeleons and thought I would post up a Bio Blast on the Cham and Family Tree.

Every few of months I make up a batch of dry gutload to feed (alongside fresh vegetables and fruit) to crickets, roaches, superworms, terrestrial isopods, snails and sometimes grasshoppers. I occasionally share the mix here since forum members have many times indicated they find it...
Sandra's Gutload recipes as everyone knows are fantastic but the biggest problem I have is finding half the stuff on the Dry list maybe because I'm a guy and I don't have that female shopping instinct and you sure know I'm not about to ask for directions on how to get to it. So I decided to...
