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

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)
1/4 cup...
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...
Yippee! A picture of one of my babies was selected to be entered into the calendar contest. I guess someone else also thinks its very cute!

I call him / her Baby Linn after his / her recently passed mom Shaolin R.I.P Shoa we will miss you @ the store our jewel in sometimes otherwise dreary day.
I think this is 2 or 3 days old what a joy it was!:D
So I have not really been on. Last month was terrible for me having lost my aunt, spent waaay to much time on planes, endured terrible cry sessions with family, delivered a friends cham to its early demise, the list seems to go on and on. Man when it rains it really pours.
On the bright side...
Cleaned out the room today and rearranged a bit. I bought a space-heater for the room as last year I kept the entire house extra warm and it cost me a lot. I was able to arrange things in such a way that I don't believe he can get off his tree to the floor finally. I wasn't too worried before...

This is a log of the daily intake of the adult panther chameleons (averaged), and a list of what feeders were provided to the babies (I dont count each babies individual consumption numbers). All feeders gutloaded except butterworms and moths. Supplementation indicated by C=calcium, CD3 =...
Hard to believe that Leo and Drake are already 10 months old. Now I have to start thinking about how to handle the cold winter coming up. Not looking forward to this very much. My Mistking has been working great. I was worried a bit about overwatering the plants, but they seem to be doing...
Still doing a Dubia Stand-Off. I now suspect he is eating a fly or two that is in the room because there is no way he has gone this long without eating something. He looks great, color is beautiful, alert and eyed a dubia this morning but then shunned away. Whatever dude. I am misting...
I lost a good chameleon today. :(
It was only five years ago that my partner picked him out of a group of babies, saying "if you have to keep another one, make it this one" and named him Trucker, because he just didnt stop "trucking" around the cage, "driving" right over top the other two in...
Been a very crappy month. I just got back from Florida, I wish I could say it was for vacation or something fun but it was not. To often we neglect the connections in our lives and do not understand it until those connections are nearly lost. I know nobody else really cares but it is good to...
Swyft still isn't eating since I stopped offering the superworms. I'm offering every other day a dusted dubia and no sign of interest. Stubborn. Other than that he looks good. Supposed to be warm all week so I have the window cracked during the day for fresh air and am misting in the...

Supplements
This is a rather generic male veiled 8 month old schedule. Every schedule needs to be different and tailored specially for you own cham.
Here is a thread I started to review my supplementation schedule.

OH MY GOODNESS!! He had found himself on a file cabinet, next to the computer that I had moved away and probably felt stuck. I walked into the room towards him and as I reached towards him he lifted up his front feet and reached FOR ME!! I was so shocked, I lowered my hand, palm down, he...
Swyft is really pretty today. He stayed in his area all day from what I can tell. I think I have him contained pretty well to his one section of the room with his tree and plants.
A big thanks to SandraChameleon for the tip on dubias, I'm on a better road now for feeding him.

Knew I'd probably need additional fruit flies (my own cultures not keeping up with demand). So I ordered them. Should have arrived Wednesday. Shipment came Thursday instead, and the container held only half a dozen flies, a totally inadeuqate amount of medium (didnt even cover the bottom of the...
Swyft shunned a dubia again today and readily, heartily ate 3 superworms with light dusting of calcium instead. In fact this is the second time in a row that he has nailed two superworms with one shot! He's either talented or greedy, not sure which. I offered the dubia, completely...
