    My chameleon has his mouth open

    my boy was doing this a lot last week, i think due to the rise in temperature. however, this week he hasn't done it so much. I was nervous but it is true, they open their mouths to cool off. my boy still eating and popping and walking around so I cant say hes acting totally uncommon.

    Large Wide Format Chameleon Cages from Dragon Strand!

    i wanted to get one at the reptile expo in Los Angeles back in August 2016, but they had all been sold out. I waited for the next show in January as i knew my boy would be bigger by then but unfortunately i didn't see the booth and I believe it was a mistake that the show made on the list of...

    Need help !! New owner

    try not to disturb them when they are sleeping. how old is your cham? what i used to do is hold out a wax worm or a smaller horned worm and use it to lure him out. works every time. if you're afraid he might lunge try using a stick that he can grab on to and try pulling him away from the...

    Butter Worms

    I am pretty sure I read that butter worms are high in calcium and lower in fat than most worms. phoenix great too. i would feed my cham butters if he cared for them. He used to go for them, but now its just circlets and phoenix worms at the moment.

    Need help !! New owner

    post a picture with the whole enclosure. Your Cham looks nice, i would block off some sides of the cages and see if that keep the humidity up. i used corrugated plastic sheets to block off two sides and it helped. i used velcro along the frame and it held up, never falling off. at this young of...

    Misting water temp and bucket color

    my rule is this, if you wont drink it....your cham shouldn't either. as far as temperature goes I keep my bucket in a storage container under the tank, and it has been algae free. I use a Mist King misting system.

    Finally moved OJ into his big boy cage, what do you guys think?

    some domes only let you use one UVB and one heat bulb. just read the specifications on the inside of the light fixture (that's usually where they are) nice set up!

    Repashy super foods plus??

    you're correct, sorry I use the Supper gut load and the repashy bug burger. those you can sprinkle or form into a gel.

    Repashy super foods plus??

    try both ways of using it, you can mold it to a gel or sprinkle it on the feeders food. both work well but for me since the weather is starting to change a bit i am sprinkling the powder on the feeders gut load. the crickets are all over it

    Dino :(

    like gaping their mouths larger than they would normally, shaking their head trying to regurgitate. sorry to hear the news. You did your best and I am sure Dino is thanking you for it

    Dino :(

    i was watching a video on my phone when my Cham was sick. he was at the point similar to this. lathargic and barely holding on to branches. when i say him pooping it was just coming out like water. he didnt seem to have MBD but i think parasites. i got it from a local pet store where i got my...

    Just have a question or 2

    I think you can purchase a shed aid. i only heard of it but never used it. my guy is only 1.3 years old and his sheds about 3-5 days. and then not again till about 4-5 weeks. i give him baths and he really likes it during his shed because he takes it, but when its not time to shed he doesn't...

    Is it unusal for a Chameleon to sleep upside down?

    are there any signs of vomit or saliva/foam droppings. not to scare anyone but my first Cham had an infection and would start sleeping upside down..would wake up gaping his mouth and vomiting. honestly the worse experience i have had. long story short the pet store i got it from sold me a 4...

    keeping up humidity in southern california or any dry area

    I live in Los Angeles and totally agree. the humidity outside is already fine unless its really dry (which will probably happen during summer) I always used to worry about humidity setting so much that i got the digital Hygrostat/Thermometer HT-24 from mistking. big mistake because that prob...
