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:

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 learned a few interesting things with little Smidgie...

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...

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.

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...
