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

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

pretty eventless few weeks
pascal shed today, this is the second time he has shed with my. i panicked at first because he started on the eye that was previously infected, i noticed the night before that it was half open and looked irritated, so i caught him to have a closer look, but being his...
Allan very generously has given me some bug burger, water crystal stuff, and the all in one repashy supplement to try. This fits very nicely as I was already starting a little experiment due to my queer success without using preformed vitamin A.
I am going to keep my original dubia colony and...
I keep my pygs (bearded) in a terrarium. I have 2 aquariums with adults, 1 male and 2 females, and 3 regular nano terrariums where I keep hatchlings. At 2 months they are still pretty small and should definately NOT be handled. In fact, pygs shouldn't be handled at all unless absolutely...

AVERAGE COST OF OWNING A CHAMELEON
Most these figures are based on online prices for these items. In nearly every instance buying from an online source will be cheaper than buying from a pet store chain, sometimes even after shipping. I recommend buying everything you need reptile-related...
Eye closing issues: Possible Vitamin A difficiency
Vitamin A deficiency is a common malady in LTC Panther chameleons, either with WC or CB origins. This stems from the chameleon's inability to synthesize real Vitamin A from common precursors, such as beta-carotene. This can be confusing when...
pascal has been in and out of the vets a lot lately
i noticed one of his eyes was shut, it was nearing his bed time, so rather than worry about it, i decided to go with what my mom (not a chameleon owner, just, mom) said, that he had gone to sleep with just the one eye. although obviously this...

hi,
this is my blog for Pascal, and probably some stuff about my other reptiles, but mostly pascal since the other reptiles are technically family pets whereas pascal is 100% mine.
it isnt going to be the most dedicated blog, as i already have a diary that i write in every day which records...
Now I just add sticks and plants by inserting their ends through the mesh. You can secure the more with twist ties. It is best to pack plenty of plants in there. This way the feeder insects will disperse and all the animals can get a meal rather than the biggest one rampaging and eating...

The hinged top layer allows for easy access to the interior for cleaning and decorating. A special bottom layer keeps chameleons off the bottom. With the framework complete I can fill the cage with vegetation.

In this part I add vinyl coated hardware cloth to increase climbable surface area. This is important so that the chameleon does not spend all day pawing at the sides. The mesh also provides excellent attachment points for branches. If you copy my construction exactly you will really minimize...
Hi I make these cages from Rubbermaid containers. The main ideas are drainage, moisture retention and maximum climbing and basking surface area. There are important features to keeps your chameleons clean, prevent babies from climbing on their siblings' faces, reduce competition for heat, light...
