Traveling with Chameleons
There are a number of ways to transport your chameleon to reduce stress. Whenever your chameleon needs to go in the car to the vet, or when you're moving, it can be nerve-wracking to make sure they are going to be okay during the stressful journey. Though chameleons have specific long term needs...- ferretinmyshoes

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

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

I am a mirror
Of everything around me
Evolve with nature
With eyes that see all
The unseen chameleon
Will always see you
I left you outside.
Chameleon, where are you?
High in the oak tree.
I need U-V-B.
Don't forget to change the bulb,
Once every six months.
Crickets, dubia,
They are...
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.
My digital...
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 2 - 1 dubia
Dec 3 - nothing
Dec 4 - 3 large...

Swyft turned grey, extremely skinny, looked like he was going to die. I finally offered superworms and he has been eating those heartily ever since. I'd rather feed him superworms than have him die, obviously. I had tried all sizes of dubias and offered a different type of roach "death...
I would like to share some observations that I have made during my time keeping female veileds. I am so glad I keep rather detailed records of all my chameleons' behaviour or I would never have realised the significance of what happened.
My first female laid two clutches of infertiles. Both...
After looking at his little front toe, I am not sure if its going to heal as planned. His nail looks like its going to fall off, and hopefully just that. He was given antibiotics for a week and was pretty much all I could do. He is super blue at the moment and can't wait for him to grow more...
Feeling a bit inspired this cold morning so I went and picked food stuffs for my gut load. I have been working with 16 square feet of soil in my backyard to try to start producing some fresh food stuffs for myself and my family. Its not much but anything helps these days.
As you can see The...
So what a great day today! :) Went to the Phoenix show both days. Picked up a very nice Ambilobe from Kent with FLChams Thanks Kent! He was super helpful and answered all my annoying questions. lol :)
I thought he was the best looking Ambilobe they had by far and I am super glad my boss...
I currently have 3 chameleons, and suddenly I have gotten the urge to buy a fourth....a Jackson chameleon. I don't really have room for one right now, but it would be a nice addition to the family. I wonder if anyone is going to read this shit. Oh well.

BEFORE you buy a chameleon or add to your collection you need to evaluate your personal situation
I have 8 + years of experience with different species of chameleons including panthers, jacksonii, veiled and Melleri along with “other reptile” experience. I have dealt with all ages including...
Kelp is high in calcium and iodine - both of which are very beneficial to chameleons.

I'm wondering if there is any value in recording here the diary of what my chameleons eat. I can see quite a few people do read those blog entries, or at least open /glance at them. But does it provide any value? Does it serve as some kind of example, or provide insight or ideas?
I track the...
During this month I was able to install a heating system for the Mistking water. I haven't made a post about this just yet, but I may still do that if there is some interest. I bought a heater for about $20 on ebay, and it does heat the water at least a little bit. However I do wish it would...

I was reading a Seth Godin blog post last night. It really resonated with me. At the time, I was into the fourth hour that evening of reading about the best possible care for some new frogs of mine. This is merely one such research session, with a great deal of learning happening prior to...
Intro:
Not many folks on the forum own Senegals, and as a first time owner, I have found this breed to be a very entertaining and peculiar breed of chameleon. My chameleon, Peppers, is a one year old Senegal that I have had the pleasure of caring for for the past five months (As of 10/2010). I...
