Photographing Chameleon's in "Naturalistic" Settings
If you want a place in the Forum Calendar or a shiny medal next to your avatar there are some basic things you will have to do. First understand what the contest is looking for pictures that will ultimately go into the calendar. Nobody wants to be distracted by your fingernails, dirty or...- JacksJill

Veiled Chameleon Laying 101
Hi and congratulations on having a beautiful girl veiled chameleon. These little sweeties are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve learned from some of the very best keepers on the forum how to care for them and effectively manage their reproductive health. Now I’m passing that knowledge on to...- MissSkittles

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

Free-range inspiration
Some inspirational thoughts for free ranging First, our living room is a large, bright (views on both sides) and pet free living room without small children walking around. Second, the free-range area is at exact the same spot as where a Reptibreeze XL (24´x24´x48´) stood. Many assume...- Sonny13

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

Note: This is a repost of the post in the Health forum to kick off this new blog. This blog will be updated every week with the new Chameleon Show topic.
In this week's show, I interviewed Dr. Rachel Siu, the author of the study "Endoparasites of pet reptiles and amphibians from exotic pet...
Species with females that give live birth or viviparous can also pass unfertilized ova. These are often referred to as slugs. Sometimes they only pass slugs or give birth and pass some slugs at the same time. This is similar to chickens laying unfertilized eggs with out the shell. These are from...
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...

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - He is a veiled chameleon named Khalid. I got him on 7/21/19 at a local reptile Expo from Captive Bred Specialties. The seller told me he was 10 weeks old at the time of purchase. That would put his birthday at May 12th, 2019. It's May 2021 now, so he should be...
There are at least three reasonable supplement schedules commonly in use these days. The one bit of advise I would give for all of them is to not over dust the feeders. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Your feeder insects should never look like powdered doughnuts or that scene from...
As I´ve seen many builds here, I´m still surprised how many people don´t use the enclosure space to it´s fullest, just saying every inch of space you use, is an inch more space for your chameleon. Building an enclosure with Dragon Strand is the easiest way, especially with the Dragon Ledges...
What to expect?!
As a child I´ve always been fascinated with reptiles and amphibians, searching in local ponds for salamanders and bringing them home to keep them.
Then my first reptile was an Iguana and I loved him, can write a complete book about him, even had some more reptiles including...
There are so many reasons why it is important for a Chameleon to trust their Keeper. As Humans we want them to love us the way we love them. But realistically this is not how your Chameleon is going to think of you. You are simply their Keeper. You are the provider of their needs. While I am a...
"Help". "Need Help" and "Help Please", are not good thread titles. Give us something to go on before we open it and see we don't even know the species that you have. There are dozens possibly hundreds of pages of these titles. I really want to help people with their chameleons but I only have so...
Hello! So some people have seen, my girl is laying her first clutch. It is very tense in my house, as she has had MBD. Being friends with Sweet Pea’s owner has helped me immensely, however it does not take away every anxiety. My exotic vet and I talk quite frequently. He has helped with Kiwi’s...
I was a little concerned about Norbert the other day as he decided to not eat his normally favorite feeders. I have been increasing the dubias and decreasing the crickets and he decided he was going to wait on the supers. I don't give him many nor very often, but I think he was mad at me!! He...
I really like Bean Beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus, as a feeder for baby chameleons in combination with other feeders. I have used them to feed clutches of Jackson's, Hoehneli and know panther breeders who use them with success as well. I will discuss their care and use in the form of a pros...
Hello! I've had my baby Veiled Cleo for a week now and she is doing great! She is a female veiled around 3 months old and loves her new enclosure! I am currently working on getting her to handfeed she will come near my hand and hide in one of her plants but will not come close enouph to eat (any...
Hello my children. so as a first time cham owner, i have become concerned. i gave my girl wax worms (heard they’re good and heard they’re not, tbh haven’t made up my mind.) and her feces looks very different from normal. she does have enough hydration and such. just not sure.
Well our little girl is gravid! It’s very difficult for me to believe. I’m not sure when she will lay, but any advice on a lay bin is welcome and appreciated.
Hello! I haven’t posted in a bit! Kiwi has made a full recovery, and is now climbing and back to being very happy and content. I am THRILLED will the progress!
We did it everyone. she’s using her tongue and climbing all over the place and i am overjoyed. some on this site know of my stubbornness and it has paid off for once in my life. my girl did it!
Being honest here i feel like my work is doing nothing. like i started to see real progress and now it’s all stagnant when i’m doing the same things and giving her all the right stuff. i’m so tired. maybe people were right and i should give her to a rescue person because i don’t know if i can...
