Basic info on Misting and fogging...
Of course, all animals require water to survive, and it isn't as simple as placing a bowl in the bottom and calling it a day. In fact, with most chameleons this will have little, if any benefit. Most chain pet stores display their chameleons with a water bowl, and this can be misleading to the...- Decadancin

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.

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

I have heard some stories about how attitudes change when chams go through "puberty". If Prometheus' attitude gets any worse, I am afraid he is gonna start biting himself! He is the most vicious little critter I have ever seen or heard of. I am even going to move his cage again to see if that...
I'm sorry to be the first one here to report a loss of a transvaalense :( My little girl left me on Friday.

I have seen some people post about the problems with ants they have been having and now that its summer it seems ants are more out and about then ever. Ants can be very deadly killing off your entire colony or even kill your Cham. The best method I have found and this works really good is to...
Well, after getting myself caught up in, and observing, a few threads that have got out of hand, I feel I need a qualification in diplomacy!
I think it's easy to take things personally & to forget that not everyone is set out to cause damage.
For example, I found myself feeling hugely...

The seeds are good source of Phosphorus, Potassium and...
I was kind of worried that the MVB would be too strong for the babies. After some research, I ended up putting it about 6 inches above their cages so that it shines down into both of them.
Poppi loves it and is right up as close to the top as she can get. Prometheus spends some time up at...

C. moorei AKA "Butterworms"

I read a closed thread a little while ago posted by a brand-new member(they joined today) asking for advice about keeping their sister's cats away from their chameleon because one got eaten. I couldn't ascertain if this was a child or young person. They did not post anything beyond their...
There are many blogs on the forum about chameleon care, breeding, gutloading etc. I thought possibly a rescue/rehabilitation might be useful to some members who may be considering these heart wrenching journeys.
Rescuing any animal is a very time consuming, expensive and often heartbreaking...
