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

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

Individual Baby Cages or Caging during the time of Covid
My first prototype I was planning on using Exo-terra Nano glass cages for my baby cages but the supply chain issues we are all too familiar with made me get creative. Forum member, MeruJack, who I all but stalked on here when I was getting started used Nanos for her baby jacks and she had a...- JacksJill

I chose a Round cage (Usually made from two "lids" and mesh - like in the example: Round Cage) for my first Chameleon as a cage, because I didn't know much about chameleons at first and this was very cost efficient.
Pro's
1. It's easy to make and costs about a third of what a normal homemade...
Compact bulbs in my opinion are one of the worst and most dangerous reptile items available for chameleons. There have been several studies that point to the dangers of compacts as well as owners (like myself) that have experienced the issues of compacts in person. Sadly, it seems that there...
After several weeks of thought, I decided it would be best to run a humidifier along with my mistking. The Las Vegas climate is simply too dry and kept my cages at a solid 20% humidity, even after mistings with the mistking, my hydrogrometers were only increasing by a few percentages. I had...
I made a new cage for Chameleo, so he can get some natural sunlight everyday (or most).
CHECK IT SON
He is no longer that much of a fury, and pretty chill in general. I like the nickname still though.
This blog is all about my experimentation with plant soils, that began on Friday May 29th. After some extensive research I found that plants kept in high-watered/high-humidity conditions, need a more unique type of soil than the original houseplant. Original houseplants typically use loam...

well, today, we toured around helping visitors, and the 1250 summer campers that were there. i got to feed the stingrays, and i witnessed the feeding from atop the 400,000 gallon tank filled with sandtiger sharks, sandbar sharks, southern stingrays, nurse sharks and the like. and to answer a few...
Well, my first day went a little bit like this,
I first arrived at around 8:30am and talked with some people until it started. then, we talked about fire exits, and crowd control type things which are surprisingly boring and mundane. then we had a little break, then toured the place...

So i got a male beardie in june 2008 from petsmart...it was a rocky start with his care and now i look back a see myself as foolish and stupid....but on a lighter note...he is now 11 months plump and 21 inches...so i would say he has the life.
my chameleon came to me as my second scaly friend...
