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

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

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

I chose this Claude Adrien Helvetius quote as the title for my blog on foggers due to the current debate about their use. I decided not to edit my previous blog on misting https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/basic-info-on-misting-and-fogging.2325/ because the information is still relevant and...
Introduction to Trioceros montium
We have made landfall on the Western coast of Cameroon and are slowly making our way up in elevation. At around 700 meters above sea level we start to see one of the best known of the Cameroon species, Trioceros montium. This is one of the most confused when you...
Natural History of Trioceros quadricornis
Welcome to this World Species entry by Bill Strand and featuring the breeding insight of Jurgen Van Overbeke! We are still in Cameroon, but we are moving up in elevation. It seems like Cameroon likes its horned chameleons because the next species is the...
Natural History of Trioceros oweni
Cameroon is home to some very diverse species. When they are imported and you see their names next to each other on a price list you miss how incredibly different they all are. In this series on Cameroon species we have started in the lowlands with T. cristatus...
Natural History of Trioceros serratus
Today we hike higher in the mountains of Cameroon and travel up Mount Oku where we encounter the most colorful chameleon in Cameroon, Trioceros serratus, appropriately nicknamed the Peacock Chameleon. This is a small chameleon and is about the size of the...
Welcome to another installment of our World Chameleon Species Tour hosted by myself and featuring the breeding expertise of Jurgen Van Overbeke!
Natural History
We have been exploring the chameleon diversity of Cameroon and have started at sea level. The lowland species of T. cristatus and T...
This is a controversial topic, and so I want to preface this with a quick memo... This post is just a product of my experience with my first chameleon ever. I'm in no way, shape, or form, an experienced keeper. I am in no way, shape, or form an expert. I write my blog posts a little bit for the...
Leon passed away recently. A week before it happened he was being his normal self, but as soon as i noticed that he wasn't drinking as much as he was, i took him to a chameleon vet in my area. I gave them his poop and pee from that day to see what was wrong. He was being very lethargic all of a...
Welcome to the first post of the World Chameleon Species Tour where we are exploring the chameleons of the world with our tour guide, Jurgen Van Overbeke! Today we have made landfall on the western shore of Africa in a country called Cameroon. The Republic of Cameroon
Introduction to Trioceros...
Good Morning! I am working with Jurgen Van Overbeke to give a tour around the world to introduce the community to the world's most prominent chameleon species! So every week we will feature a new species. Jurgen will be offering his insight as one of the world's most active breeders of different...
All Time fly’s when you’re having fun! Within the last month Camille has really come out of her shell, she has taken three showers in the sink ( don’t worry we traded the water ). We have gotten her out of her cage more than two hands Can count; she has even trusted me to take her outside...
First off, if you haven't already heard this, you've got to do lots of research about all aspects of chameleon care before you're really ready to get a chameleon. If you're thinking, "it's okay, I can just get one and figure it out along the way," then you are doing it wrong and you will most...
It’s been too long and boy how Chamlie has grown. She definitely shows us her personality and she is definitely a desert chameleon, she gets so upset when it’s not hot hot in her cage and she just loves the heat. I have been working on getting more in her home like the other plant and continue...
I'm just picking up from part 1. No need to re-introduce everything. For funsies skip to the story above the last picture in this post!
Branches - I got a bundle of sticks/branches from the woods and spent a whole afternoon cleaning them up. I like to take a sharp utility knife and whittle off...
The past few months I've been focusing my love for Pepe towards his cage upgrade (and a few other small details), and I think today I finally reached a point of completion. I'll definitely give the details (and pics) needed for anyone who might be going through the same stages in chameleon care...
It’s been awhile. My sister moved out of our house and I got to take over her bedroom. This means that I finally have a window that works! Which also means, Leon can climb on the new pothos plant that hangs right infront if the window, all on the curtains, and if he wants he can climb from there...
Chamlie has definitely let her personality shine, she does not like us much unless we have food. She adores the dogs and will go where ever she can in her home to watch the dogs it’s actully quite funny.
I would say her favorite things to do are hang/watch the dogs,eatting and when it’s...
Today Chamlie actually ate some worms! She was all over cage exploring looking for the crickets, this is the only time she is truly happy. No cal worms just not her style until this morning I think she was starving but she is eatting crickets like crazy. I know she’s growing so I’m doing my...
Chamlie was moody today, she was caught hanging out over her laying bin serveral times so I don’t know if she was hunting or actually looking lay eggs. She was not into worms at all I think she prefers crickets . I added more ivy to her home but I don’t think she likes it she stays far away from...
