Chameleon Hour

Hello all! This is a post specifically for the people just getting their first chameleon and have not yet found a vet that can see chameleons. Finding a chameleon vet is difficult as they are rare, but you need a plan for when your chameleon might get sick or have an emergency. To talk about how...

Hello Chameleon Wranglers! I would like to announce the launch of the Panther Chameleon Podcast! Whereas the Chameleon Academy is more exploratory (and will continue on), the Panther Chameleon Podcast is a tutorial outreach for keepers joining the community via getting a panther chameleon. It...

As a breeder, cage manufacturer, and educator there has been a growing struggle within me over how to deal with the difference between common breeder husbandry and the husbandry I am working to advance through my Chameleon Academy outreach. New ideas, such as fogging, are much more easily...

Welcome to the return of the Chameleon Hour! For those new to the Chameleon Hour let me introduce what is going on! Every other Friday at 5PM on Youtube I present an hour (give or take) of a chameleon keeper variety show. During this time there are video segments of various topics that are of...

One of the most incredible experiences for a chameleon enthusiast is to trek to Madagascar and see chameleons in the wild. I just returned from exactly that experience! My purpose was more than just to see how many species of chameleons I could rack up. I was going to feel the conditions and...
