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...

From personal experience I have learned the importance of having a good chameleon vet. If you go to a vet that's not that familiar with chameleons you are wasting your money and your chameleon's life. They charge the same, if not more, than a vet that knows chameleons. Then usually after you've...

Well this is my first blog, so I'll tell about Mel. She is my first pet, and she is unlike most chameleons in the way that she is too happy to just chill on my shoulder/neck. She also doesn't get too excited when I put my hand in her cage and pick her up (crawl on my hand).
She's about 5...
