Basic info on Misting and fogging...

Most chain pet stores display their chameleons with a water bowl, and this can be misleading to the...- Decadancin

After looking for some time, we finally found our Memphis at one of our local reptile shows on April 7th. He is a blue bar Ambilobe, hatched December 17 2011. We were able to get the size and coloring that we were looking for.
The plan from the start was to be DIY as much as possible. Not so...
How exciting. I never knew you could fall in love with something so slow and odd looking and see it as beautiful unique and even cute. I love my Chameleon:D
I will be out of work all summer, because of surgery I need on my feet. The first foot has been done, just waiting for it to heal.
I'm so thankful for my little cham, Whiskers, he is such a joy to sit and watch. The whole set up, live plants, glowing light and of course him. All very...
I have been using this for years. It doesn't get soupy and works better then the medium you buy. I put this in a zip lock bag and add the liquid when I need some. Works great and stays forever.
I got this this from someone on the forums; wish I could give them credit but I don't have the name...
Senegal Chameleons (Chamaeleo senegalensis)
Vertical area is really important in chameleon cages, as they like to climb, so minimum cage size should be no less that 24”L x 24”W x 48”H. The cage should be well furnished with live plants and trees, or combined with live and fake..which are...

Oothecae (egg cases) can be stored in several ways. If the hatchlings are to be used as feeders, the oothecae can be incubated right away unless otherwise stated. This can be accomplished by attaching the ootheca(e) to the top of a vented deli cup lid. The oothecae usually arrive...

I've had some requests to re-start my monthly log of what feeder prey is provided to and eaten by my panther chameleons. I happened to have some extra time this month, so here's one month - can't promise to keep it up as this is a very busy year for me. Older entries still have value, if you're...

A few people have asked me about the tables I used as cage stands, and asked for details about how they are built so here they are.
In these photos they were getting packed up to go to a new home, but I made sure to take photos before they were gone.
