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

OK, little stressed out. My little guy keeps sleeping occasionally during the day and I found out that that is not normal. Upon gathering some info from Carol on the forums I found out that it just might be a basking temp issue. Lets hope by me lowering the temp helps this issue. So far I...
Everything is looking good. He/She is really active, he continues to eat and drink the the little dipper. I can't wait for my mister to come in. Temp and Hum seems to be regulated really good. Also notice different color change, his strips get darker at occasions or he gets a bit orange as...
Just got my Panther Chameleon yesterday (4/22/11) and I monitored his activity and his colors and all was great. Phoenix was very active and as soon as the lights went out he stationed his self on a leave and crashed out. Next morning lights came on at AM and Phoenix became active around 8 am...
During April, my primary gutload items have been: fresh green dandelion leaves, carrot, apple, yam (steamed), romaine, oranges and the last of my January dry gutload mix.
For May, I am still gonna be using a great deal of dandelion leaves, carrot, and I hope to have fresh young mustard greens...
I spent all last night redoing Bulbasaur's enclosure. He now has tons of colorful flowers. I am aware that some chameleons may find lots of colorful flowers bothersome, but he seems quite fine. At first he wandered around confused because his set up is very different than it was, but by the end...
Here is finally an update on Leo and Drakes' growth during the past several months. It's been a long winter here so they're both anxious to get some real sunshine this spring. At least I'm anxious for them. Leo's growth has been steady and he's leveled off pretty much at around 214 grams...
Today was more of the same from my Ambilobe. His left eye is still closed up I managed to get a few pics of it open and closed. I used Reptivite today and he ate 3 crickets and 1 superworm. I have him outside in the Florida sun and humidity and I'am misting a lot. I believe my supplementing...
Today I noticed my Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Monster (unofficial name), has developed some sort of eye problem. His left eye was closed all day he only opened it once in front of me and I did not see any noticeable damage. With that being said, he ate two crickets, however, he did not move...
I've been on the hunt for supplies for my build. Being the son of a son of a sailor (Yea Jimmy Buffet), no wait a shop teacher, I have all the tools and wood. I get to use the tools for free, and the wood only cost's educators cost. I Haven't decided between walnut or cherry. The cherry will...
I've attached a pic of the design!!! It took me a while to figure out how to convert it to jpg. It's 100% to scale, it's a total of 6'9" tall 2'6'' Deep and 3' Wide. And The chameleon is also to scale as best as I can figure.
The two glass sections that are visible in the pic will have an...
Hey It's me again about 30 seconds after I posted the first Blog. Time to get in to the hard part. The design.
I'm putting this enclosure in the corner of a room, next to a tall dresser 2 and a half feet deep. The roof is 9 feet from the floor, but it has a 45 degree slant from the wall to...
Hey anyone reading this! I'm excited, just earlier today I became a full fledged Member! I've been wanting to do this blog for a while now detailing the undoubted long process of building my custom chameleon enclosure.
But first a little background on me. My name is Brent Steiner. I'm a...
This post isn't directed at anyone in particular... Unless you do any of the things that I mention in this post. Then it's directed at you. Right at you. Feel it. Feel it's burn on your flesh.

This week has been rather awful. Mostly for personal reasons. I'm struggling to keep up in school and feeling down over it. And, of course, this week was the week I got my new male panther, and the week my female panther decided to lay. Most of my friends could not care LESS about chameleons, so...
5 chameleons on their way to new homes today, 2 more leaving in a couple weeks
Bitter sweet!
I breath in the air, and it becomes a part of me. Travelling through my lungs, into my blood, fueling my thoughts and movements. And what I breath out passes to others, to trees who "breath" the CO2 and animals that take in the unused oxygen and such I didnt keep. A glass of water now in me, was...
Swyft is still being a brat about eating but he does eat. Just one superworm here and there. For awhile I am pretty sure he was eating gnats and flies that were in the room. (I have a natural turtle habitat and we tend to get bugs from that)
He drinks a lot, poops, and is active, and still...
If your chameleon closes it's eyes through the day, it may very well be a sign that the chameleon is sick. Healthy chameleons eyes are open and alert for the whole day - they are diurnal and only sleep when it gets dark.
Sadly, chameleons are often really sick by the time their owners notice...
on 2/17/2011 I fed my female Veiled her first and only pinky mouse. This was 2 days after she mated, I wanted to get her fertile before going through another infertile clutch lay. If some of you recall, Kiwi was recovering from gular edema due to a deficiency of Vitamin A & D from laying her...
