Sorry, Jann. :( He was a handsome, happy boy. Never forget the good times with him.

I was able to submit an order for a live silkworm pod from Coastal Silkworms, just select east coast. For me it was probably more costly than if I could order from the west coast, but I don't think it should make much difference for you in Illinois.

Did you decide on the Rudis for sure? Such awesome little chams from what I've heard. I wish I had space for some myself. :)

Good to hear, Joe. I'll check with the airline before I decide to board her for sure.

Turns out the Bird & Exotic Clinic of Seattle can board clients, so I got her an appointment next week. Yay! Btw thanks Lathis for the thought! :D

Darn. It's so weird that birds can be taken on flights but not a chameleon. It stinks because I don't really know anybody out here (only been on this side of the country for a couple of years and work from home).

I will probably be making a cross-country trip for Christmas, and I may also be doing so in a few weeks. Has anybody flown with their chams? Which airlines allow this, if any? Would that be better than finding someone to babysit my young female veiled for the week or so that I am gone...

Very cute! :) Haha... my girl hates the camera too.

Males will need higher basking temps than females, but you want them to have a lower temp as juveniles either way, around 82 at highest. That's the temp I maintain for my female veiled using a 25 watt incandescent house bulb. An adult male panther would need a basking temp in the 85-90 degree...

Good questions above. Also, what type of chameleon do you have? Is it male or female?

Definitely, didn't want to freak you out or anything, just thought I'd throw it out there just in case. Good to hear that that doesn't sound like the problem. :) It sounds to me like he's yawning. They'll usually sit with their mouths open for a long time if they're too hot. What's the temp...

I've been lucky not to experience this with my chams, but I think that behavior can be indicative of a respiratory infection if it happens often and if you see a lot of excess saliva/mucus in the cham's mouth. Others feel free to correct me if I'm off. Otherwise, it can be yawning or he could...

It's great to see so many happy, healthy pets and so many different kinds. :) Gotta love animals.

She doesn't like my phone, but here's Lady Arya today.

No matter what type of pet I lose or how many, it tears my heart out. Our chams are not lesser than any other pets. I too feel that you can bond very closely with a cham. After all we spend so much time with them! Very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs from Seattle.
