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

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.

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...
So my neighbor gets a new puppy about three weeks ago and they are happy and they said how wonderful their new puppy is and how much they love him and on and on. Well, Saturday morning their older dog bites the eye out of the puppy and instead of taking him to the vet, they went to the Animal...
Every few months, I grind up a new batch of dry gutload. The recipe is different everytime, based on what I've got on hand.
1/2 cup raw Sunflower Seeds (next time, I'll use fewer sunflower seeds)
1/3 cup Kelp powder
1/4 cup raw Almonds (next time, I think I'll use fewer almonds)

Two weeks into treatment on Earl. His recheck was yesterday and the Dr says the edema is slowly improving and the abscess area looks good.
He gained weight the last two weeks and he now weighs 317 grams. I've been having to hand feed him due to the edema affecting his vision. I have also...
