Cage cleaning is an important aspect of husbandry but probably not everyone's favorite. It is still as vital as humidity, temperature or nutrition for the healthy life of your chameleon.
I have adapted my training at keeping a veterinary hospital cage clean to cleaning a chameleon habitat...
Yesterday It was very hot, so i decided to take Leon out to get some sunshine. He used to not like It, Im just guessing it was because it was such an open space to be outside. I slowely transitioned him from his outside cage to his open box that has plants in it, if he wants he could get out...
Leon recently got some new leafs and a big vine. This isn’t any that big but it really makes his cage look full. Leon’s currently shedding and he’s not keen to changes so he’s extra moody. I know he’ll appreciate it and really like it soon though. Here are some pictures of him and his cage.
So I've seen some people talk about how they got their chameleons to "trust them", it seemed like fun so I thought I would do the same! I'm sure I've mentioned how i tamed Leon plenty of times before but this is just so I can have it all right here. So basically, I've read that you shouldn't...
It surprises me that nearly a year ago I got Leon, it feels like it was only a couple months. Leon is now one year old and in a month it will be our first year with him in my care! He's grown so much and he's doubled his size! His colors are so much brighter and he's definitely warmed up to me...
Here’s The hardest thing I have come across keeping fruit flies in the enclosure! I put a small piece of fruit in there but they keep on getting out and this raises a big concern because the babies need a supply of food at all times. I’ve heard of bean beetles being good feeders. Just really...
So here are some links and things to know about the Chameleon Forums. For newcomers as well as some seasoned members there could be some features that you don't know exist, or just cant seem to find them when you need them.
First off the resources page...
Just a few more links that were not originally posted and are a little harder to find if you don't know where to look ;)...

So this is a common question for new keepers. Often they will be attacked when mentioning that their chameleon likes to be handled. Sometimes this is warranted, but sometimes not. All too often new keepers think what they are witnessing is cute or that the chameleon "wants" to be handled...
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...
I know its been awhile since i've posted one of these but i've been caught up with school so. Anyways i just wanted to say that I really love Leon and im so happy he has a new better and bigger cage now. Theres not anything else to say other than that because there's been no new updates.
Has anyone ever bought a wild caught farmed chameleon? Are they harder to keep than a captive breed chameleons? Do they tend to have mites and parasites usually?
I haven't replied back in a min. Sorry about that guys!
I just wanted to update you to where I am now. AND YES, it has been a minute...

The amount of food you should give your Panther Chameleon depends on the age and the width of their head. Panther Chameleons are known for eating some hefty feeders but choking is a real possibility for them, so please keep that in mind. Mostly true for juvenile panthers. Below I've listed...
I was holding Leon and he kept wanting to go in the flowers so in he went and I got to take this really cute picture of him. Also is Leon too small to be a four month old?
Okay sorry I've been away for awhile but school started and I'm really trying to keep up a good mind set and habits, anyways this blog isn't about me, its about Leon. I took some cute pics of Leon right now and I wanted to share them with you guys! Also msg me if you think he looks sick or if...
