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

The Panther Chameleon in general is a fascinating creature to own. Whether you are interested in a female Panther Chameleon as a pet, breeding project, or both the males and females need slightly different set-ups and care. If you are interested in owning a female, I will tell you what has...
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...
I just want to create this blog for anyone to use as reference. As all the past year, I keep track on my boy weight since the beginning that he live with me. Now he pass away due to kidney disease but I don't want to throw away this information since it might be useful for someone.
1st day...
(I've been busy getting ready for school to start)
It was June 27 and I noticed Leon was sneezing so I called my guy that gives me advice and tells me what to do and he said the sneezing Leon has been having sounds like an upper respiratory infection caused my the air conditioning at night. I...
So, the inevitable has occurred, Zaphod has passed. He was only 5, and maybe that is an OK age, but I just expected him to live more years than that. I don't know, but I feel that I failed him somehow by not having him live for 7 years or so. I know that there are no set rules, but damn it, I...
SO, I've been busy with personal stuff, but I'm finally back! I got some really cute pics of Leon! Also he loves to be outside.
Okay so now its July! So that means that the monthly contest is here. I really like taking pictures, but I have a bad camera. I take Leon out for the first time to take some pictures of him, he turned very bright but my mom decided to put a filter on him for some reason. I took other pictures of...
DISCLAIMER: I feel like ill never catch up to the present day so I'm going to skip some of these past days, unless something awesome or cute happens with Leon sorry about this.
I'm skipping to July 2nd, 8th day of living with us! Leon had already been showing signs of shedding when I first got...
I think Leon is a natural Model, whenever I need him to pose for a picture, he gives me his best for the picture! On the third day of having Leon I was finishing up some edits I made of him when I was taking pictures of him. He was being such a calm boy! He didn't even puff up when I got close...
Now most people say that chameleons usually take around two weeks for them to settle or to do anything in front of someone, I'm not sure if that's true or not but Leon surprised me when he did all of those things on the first and second day. I was freaking out 24/7 because of how chill Leon was...
Leon was anticipating for so long the sweet, sweet, release out of the carrier cage into his bigger home. I took him out, put him in and watched him change instantly as he sat on the vine he clang onto. We watched him eat his first crickets in his new home. I was absolutely amazed by how far his...
I got Leon at a place called the "Reptilian Nation Expo" the man selling him said he was the healthiest, I believe it! The expo was so amazing! The only off setting thing was the way the man grabbed Leon to show me how awesome and healthy he is, he grabbed him very forcefully to make sure he...
Majic is a two month old baby veiled chameleon that was being kept at a local pet store. His encloser was entirely glass, and not even a foot in either length or height. He was fed poorly, not nearly enough for a growing baby. Since his enclosure was so small, Majic was constantly over heated...
So this isn't usually what I blog about exactly but it was a light and funny topic, it also ended in a great way. I have a colony of carpenter bees that live in a weird wooden awning I have outside. We have always just let them be. They don't bother us, and pollinate stuff even though they...
Now a lot of people have problems with collar pops or any sort of "physical punishment". I do a huge combination of heavy positive reinforcement, a small amount of punishment when needed (and lots of different forms), and lots of catering to my dogs individual needs. In my opinion dogs are...
Dewey... his story is both amazing and long. If you don't think dogs or animals in general can be just as important as a human life then you probably won't understand a thing in this post. Though if you want to read it, I encourage you to read it with every ounce of my being, he has changed many...
Teo: My Hermanni Tortoise, he is absolutely gorgeous and sweet. He is spoiled with organic greens and squashes on occasion. When I have them I give him fresh edible flowers from my garden and cactus certain times of the month. I very occasionally give him a tiny bit of fruit, like every other...
Miko: One of my two cats, though he is honestly mom's I do a lot of the work for him too. He is diabetic due to poor breeding and poor care in the home before we got him. We got him in his senior years, he was at least 7 years old, and severely obese weighing at least 19 lbs when we got him...
