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

Season Changes/Hibernation(Brumation) Project

Hello all!
Well I wanted to...
Due to serious family concerns and work concerns that would normally have seemed serious had not the family issues existed to put things in perspective, I will be mostly off line for awhile.
I will be unable to respond to Private Messages, or blog comments, in a timely manner.
Veiled Chameleon Care Sheet
As you can tell from the title of this page, this is a care sheet on Veiled Chameleons. To start off, the Veiled Chameleon is one of the most commonly kept species of Chameleon. In my honest opinion the Veiled Chameleon is quite possibly the best species of...
Ive noticed we get many questions on here concerning issues that could be resolved or could have been avoided with basic care. Chameleons do require a little more attention than lets say a leopard gecko. Many chameleon purchases are a spur of the moment with no research at all. Buying from a...
Visual caresheet - Comparing the care of male panther and veiled chameleons.
The question of the difference between these two common species is asked so often, I felt a visual response might be needed.
Please let me know if you would like to see any information corrected or added to...
Using the right mix of dry and wet (fruit and veg) items for your gutload helps ensure your chameleon gets the nutrients it needs to be healthy.
I make a new batch of dry gutload several times a year, each time the recipe is a bit different. These are the ingredients used in the January 2011...
Veiled Chameleon Care Sheet

by ChameleonsInMyHouse
TIP: Chameleons are insectivores meaning they should only be fed insects in captivity. Feeding such things like pinky-mice, fuzzies, and feeder anoles are extreamly high in fat and protein content. This is...

[Brief Introduction - Veiled Chameleons (Chamaeleo Calyptratus), are native to Saudi Arabia, Yemen. An arboreal species of reptile, naturally capable of withstanding day temperatures close to 100 degrees...
The protein content of alfalfa is ~18 percent, and being plant rather than animal based, it's an excellent source of low fat protein for your chameleons feeders. When measured by equal weight, alfalfa has higher levels of calcium then milk or eggs. And we all know how important calcium is. One...
It's been a while since I've provided an update on here about Leo and Drakes' growth, so I thought I'd finally get it done! At least I know Carol will appreciate it!
In spite of my worries about low room temps, it looks like both chams are still growing and doing well. As of today...
This is my first blog and a bit of rant acutally. I have been a member of this forum for about 9 months now and have seen alot of sad things on this forum in regards to incorrect husbandry which has either made the chameleon sick or in some severe cases caused its death. It is never done...
I couldn't post blogs at the time so this blog will be from memory, my trip home for christmas/new years holidays.

So, about me. I'm a 28 year old heavy equipment operator for a enviromental costruction company, I've been...

Chameleon, where are you?

Don't forget to change the bulb,
Once every six months.

Preface: You may injure or kill your baby while cutting open an egg. Only cut open an egg if you are sure it is past the time to hatch and it will not hatch on its own. If you do not know how to determine this you must ask for advice. It is often difficult to balance patience and action...
Swyft is still hanging in there and finished a shedding. I now have a larger feeding dish for him at the base of his tree/shelf and he seems to be liking that. He watches down at the bugs then climbs down the pole covered with fake-vines to check out what I put in there.

I track what each of my chameleons eats on a daily basis. For this entry, I used an average from what all the adult male panthers ate each day, thus logging the equivalent of a single adult male panther's intake.
Dec 1 - 2 large crickets (C)
Dec 2 - 1 dubia
