I really appreciate all the responses and Fred's health is pinnacle to anything else. He has wrapped his prehensile tail very tightly around my heart and I would never put him in danger, hence asking for other's opinions. Thank you all very much!

I agree. I have spent thousands of dollars on 'elite' technological products and not the cheap stuff you would find in pet stores. I do copious research before everything I purchase and the the drip system seems to be the most challenging. I was lucky to have been working from home when I got...

Question re: small AC unit. My cham seemed to be getting an eye 'infraction' a few months ago and per vet instructions I was giving him eye drops for weeks to no resolve until I realized the underlying problem which explained why his eye wasn't getting better fast enough. I had begun using...

Thanks for your response. I really appreciate it although I'm apparently a little behind on checking my posts. (I think it's funny that I have an online etsy shop and my tagline is "Reinventing the Wheel.") LOL I walk Fred once or twice a day along the bike path that goes from one end of town...

I don’t understand why I have bought almost 10 new and barely used humidifiers and am continually buying and replacing them with new ones because they just stop working. I’ve YouTubed how to fix them to no avail. Is it because they are constantly running? Can anyone help me with this odd...

Ugh. I have read every book on chameleons in the Colorado public library system, been on every Cham website, watched every YouTube video… before I got my first hatching who is a beautiful and healthy one-year-old male. To piggyback on your comment - the most frustrating thing I’ve dealt with...

P.S. What kind of chameleon do you have? Or what kinds?

Thanks for your reply. To play it safe I removed Fred, everything associated with him, including his feeder crickets to my friend’s house for a week from the time my place was sprayed. Two days after bringing him home he developed an eye infection and I brought him to my vet because we have no...

Hi. I’m so sorry your Cham is probably miserable. I just had to take my 7-month-old blue panther chameleon to the vet for the first time due to his right eye most likely having an eye infection or something like you are dealing with. Since I live in a remote ski town in CO, there are no vets...
