Looks like Lola and Pascal are settling in ok.
I put a dubia in each of thier cups. we will see when i get home if they eat them or not
I think my female is pregnant. According to the breeder she was housed with the male. She does look a little bigger around the belly. We will see.
Yesterday I got my chameleons. A boy and girl, Pascal and Lola. Their cages were delivered last night and I made a feeding cup. I do not know if they ate today. I will find out when I get home later today
My most recent attempt to get Shayna well was a weekend attempt to make her a laying bin that she might use.
I put a large plastic rectangular tub of soil and sand just below the bottom access of her cage. The substrate is about 8", I planted a pot of philo at the far end, and put two...
Shower chamber treatment for dehydrated animals. *Not intended for babies*
1. Place a plant, vines, limbs or whatever you choose for the chameleon to perch on the bottom of the bath tub floor. I dont recommend using anything higher than the tub wall.
2. Place the chameleon on what you have...
As requested I have been asked to share my method of building my cage for my chameleon. I will add some photos with some descriptions. If i miss out anything please leave a comment and I can add more detail!
Raw Tank Setup (Fig. 1)
For Starters I got a piece of plywood cut to 23''x...
Well it looks like I will finally have some more time to work on the GOC "Giant Outdoor Cage" as Jeremy calls it.:)
I have all the framing cut that the screen is attaching to and have started sanding and staining it. I'm doing two coats of stain. Lots o staining going on today.:o

Joy is watching both chams eating crickets. The Cham Cam is a real delight and so helpful to assuage my fears. I wasn't sure Shayna could ambulate enough to get near enough to free-ranging crickets in her cage. She nailed it, but seemed to have some problems once the cricket was internal...
Well I got done what I was hopeing to get done today. Cut down the wood and cut corbels on the ends.
Sanded and stained. I am hopeing to pick up the screen material this week. I'm reallty liking the way it's turning out so far.
Shayna went severely downhill during the beginning of January, and in my distress I went out and got Mortimer Mensch.
He is graceful, beautiful and elegant, even if he doesn't much care for my presence in his life. Over the past three weeks he's gone from stubborn brown to a rather dapper...
Hi,
I'm going to post about an outdoor enclosure that I've been planing to build for over a year now. In January of last year (2011) we completely removed everything in our backyard except for one cactus. We then designed our new yard and hired a contractor to help make our dreams a reality. I...
Gracie has been doing a lot better lately. With a lot more plants, some home made perches, adjustment of the lights, and moving her cage to a high vantage point, I can already see a change in her.
I gave her a shower today! She absolutely adored it. She drank quiet deeply and then took a...
Well, I just discovered that we have blogs here! How much fun. Anywho, I'm excited to be here and have so much knowledge gathered in one place. What a resource! And it's all free. I can't say how thankful I am and I think that my Graceful, Gracie, is probably twice as thrilled as I am...
For those of you that want to own a chameleon, just to let you know, a veiled chameleon is one of the cheapest (if you buy one online, any of the site sponsors are great) and they are on the easier side of care.
First, let's talk about temperatures. A veiled chameleon needs a basking spot of...
Camo is shedding for his first time today. So far, only the skin on his head has come off, but he is starting to turn white in other places. I give him warm sprays every now and then to give him a little help, but it is very bad to help them by pulling skin off. They feel agitated by people when...
My young veiled chameleon doesn't really have a specific sleeping pattern. He is like a human teen. Goes to bed whenever. Wakes up when he feels like it. When the lights go off, Camo might stay up for hours before going to sleep. The next morning, he must be fried, because the basking light has...
pascal's fairly happy at the moment
yesterday probably the worst thing imaginable happened.
my thermostat BROKE.
at first i thought it was the bulb, he is spoiled with bulbs and the one i am relying on at the moment is a 150watt deep heat bulb, this cost a bit more than i normally would...
