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

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...
Our helm has totally firmed! i’m so proud and i appreciate your suggestions on my last blog post. she’s beginning to love the outdoors more and more. keep praying and you can follow her instagram if you’d like for updates twice a day!
Story time!
I've wanted a chameleon ever since I knew you could own one as a pet honestly. When I was about 8 I saw one in person. Before I saw it I thought they were made up like unicorns. A couple years later I learned that they can be pets and I went nuts and started studying. Fast-forward to...
some people know my chameleon Kiwi has developed bad MBD. when i took her to her vet they told me many things i could do and things to alter such as lighting and supplements. i don’t handle her very much to let her learn to use her legs and she’s still on the ground not using her tongue to eat...

Today we consider how to deal with our time now that many of us are spending this time at home. If we are working from home, how do we stay productive? If we are out of work, what do we do with our time? Luis Wiedemann, a long time reptile keeper, comes on and shares how he has successfully...
