Hi Everyone, I just had a thought, not sure if I'm going to do it or not, but since I have huge bay windows in my apt I was thinking about getting a large indoor plant to let my chameleon play around on while I clean his cage and maybe to bask if he likes it enough. Any suggests on a good tall...

I wish I'd book marked the link but they are very similar to other chameleons in terms of care. They do need cooler temps though. 65-70F at night and up to 85-90 in their basking spot during the day. Thats one of the only big differences. They also seem a bit more tame than other species, but...

He looks quite upset from his color and spots. His tongue and cheeks appear to be a normal color. That spot though.... cant say if my jackson has that or not. He rarely opens his mouth like that so its hard to say. It doesnt look like its his tongue but I could be mistaken. Does he still use...

Hi everyone, I saw the update on Rex and just thought I'd ask about some white stuff thats been on my chameleons head for a few weeks. As you can see from the picture on some of the spikes behind his eyes he has some white stuff. This picture was taken a week ago, it looks about the same now...

If its just for a day it shouldn't be too bad. I've heard of people suggesting them over compact UVB bulbs for temp light sources.

This is good to know, Farnsworth loves silk worms.

My Jackson is quite docile, he never minds me getting into his cage. Yet he still dislikes being held, but likes being hand fed. =) I wouldn't house both of them in an enclosure that size. That size you listed would be good for a single jackson.

I was always under the impression you only feed them worms once a week. After reading this I have to ask the question, is it okay for them to have more than one silk worm a week?

Yeah everytime I go I'm so tempted to buy a veiled from him. XD

Mine works okay, I agree the nozzle could be better, but I find it sufficient for the price. I spent like 40 on mine where as I believe the mistking is 100 or so? Get what you pay for, but it does do the job. Changing the nozzle seems fairly easy, but it may be easier to find a tube/nozzle...

I go to the midwest reptile show. The 2nd from last one they had was huge, this last one was much smaller. They are usually worth going to if you are going to buy a couple things, otherwise admission just offsets the savings of buying stuff there. They only usually have 1 good cham vendor...

Glass cages are very bad for Chameleon's they need fresh air and the air in an acquarium can get stagnant and cause lung problems. Also you have a heat lamp but what kind of UVB bulb do you have? UVB is incredibly important to a Cham's health. A long flourescent UVB bulb like the Reptisun 5.0...

I'll keep an eye on it, he seems happy and healthy for the time being. Yeah it only appears when his body is straight or if he bends to the opposite side. Thanks for easing my mind everyone =)

Wow this has been really informative. I think you just convinced me to start cup feeding =)
