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.

Individual Baby Cages or Caging during the time of Covid
My first prototype I was planning on using Exo-terra Nano glass cages for my baby cages but the supply chain issues we are all too familiar with made me get creative. Forum member, MeruJack, who I all but stalked on here when I was getting started used Nanos for her baby jacks and she had a...- JacksJill

Project Tamatave started 3/9/2013....
My Friend Mike (MaxTTU) and I were offered a chance trade CB Ambilobes for wild caught Tamataves. Needless to say but we jumped at the opportunity to...
This blog post will basically be utilized for me to track Abe's (my 3 month old veiled chameleon) weight as he progresses. It could possibly be of some benefit to others, although we know that weight is highly variable during the growth stages. Anyway, here it is:
3/16/2013 - 27g

I was inspired by another Trace's 2/9/2013 post called "Random Musings on Seasonal Cycling" posted here. There was a lot of good data and information, and I felt it was very helpful. I thought it might be helpful for those of us keeping veileds to have some information about the climate in...

Felis catus, the domestic cat is one of the most effective predators on the planet earth. Single adult males have been more effective than trapping and poisons at controlling pest rodents on small farms and have done more to help humanity achieve agrarian civilization than any other...
When a sexually mature male chameleon defecates you will quite often see his hemipenes whilst he is doing so. They are usually retracted back into the tail base afterwards. If they do not retract then veterinary assistance may be required. On seeing it for the first time, it can often be a...
So, you got your new baby chameleon. He is scared of you and doesn't eat.
“Oh well,” you think. “He must need some time”.
A month passes, but your baby is not growing or shedding and his lack of appetite is rather disturbing. At this point you probably go online and start asking whether it's...
Today, I am so happy and excited because Smidget, my 7 month old Nosy Be male zapped a silkworm out of my hand for the very first time! :D
I have been working on taming him for so long, I was close to giving up. Now, I am so glad I didn't!
I learned a few interesting things with little Smidgie...
A log of what each of my adult male panther chameleons ate during the month of January. All bugs are gutloaded.

Onion provides carbs, B6, Folate, Potassium and Manganese, and Vitamin C. Spring onions, with the green tops as well as the bulbs, provide also some Thiamin, Riboflavin, Magnesium, Vitamin K, and Iron. Onion does contain goitrogens, but also some iodine so that helps balance it out. As well...
I know I had a bunch of questions about misting/rain systems when I was looking to invest in one, and am a detail freak, so I thought I’d go ahead and post my experience with the Aquazamp system I got using their low profile 2 nozzle dome. This might sound a little formal and pointed at the...
Stop F@%&ing around on our forum! I shouldn't have to worry about people giving out stupid advice on purpose just because they think they are funny :mad:. There are going to be some things you may not agree with, and you and I may even give the wrong information once in a while, but we mean the...
Even Poppi was standoffish and blew up like a balloon when I put my hand in to offer her range time. So I just had to take a pic of her all puffed up.
Figured out why the crankiness:
As you can see, in the second picture, she doesn't look nearly as fat or gravid.
I am worried...
Melleri, commonly called the Meller's Chameleon, or the Giant One-Horned Chameleon, is a behemoth among chameleon species. Melleri are one of the three largest species of chameleon, and for that reason they hold the interest and attention of many Chameleon keepers; both experienced and novice...
Now that you have silk worm moths you may wonder what to do next.
The moths cannot fly and do not eat. They have been bred for silk for thousands of years and the wings have become vestigial. The males tend to me much smaller than the females, but with larger wings. The females will be much...
Once the silk worms are full grown it is time to think about allowing them to cocoon. At this point I usually separate the ones I plan to keep for breeding and put them in a larger container that is set up for breeding.
For this stage I use a sterilite 56Qt (53L) plastic tub. I have cut holes...
I begin with the silk worm, as most of you will start with worms ordered from various suppliers.
When you receive the silk worms they are typically housed in a deli cup or “pod”. As silkworms have a low immune system you must be very careful with cleanliness and moisture. The pods are not ideal...

It seems that humans generally come together in difficult times, but when those people are already together for a good purpose there is a special kind of bond that occurs. This forum has become an extended part of so many lives all for the benefit of some small, amazing little creatures. It...
I feel like not alot of people own flapnecks, their super low maintenance for a cham i really recommend them. Their not a large breed so they dont eat as much as other chams. People tried to tell me to feed it 18 or 15 crickets a day (absolutely not) dont listen to people tryin to tell you that...
