Thanks, Laurie! I was worried that moving him would be stressful, but probably a better option than him being closer to where the chemicals will be. Thanks! Marla

Thanks, Kath! Marla

Hi, We were planning on refinishing the floors on the first floor of our home, but were concerned about how the chemicals, etc., might impact our cham. It will be done in the winter months, so opening up the windows would probably make the room too cold. The finishing should take a day, but...

Just curious if I should be concerned. Thanks! Marla

We've had Lupin now for almost a year and he's going to be 2 yo. in March. He seems very healthy, his poops look great, he's eating great, he's drinking great, and he moves all over the place. However, the last month or so, we've found him hanging out on or near the bottom of the cage. It...

Hi, I'm bumping this up. We've made some changes to increase humidity. I've always gut loaded my crickets with Repashy Superload Plus, Flukkers Cricket Quencher with Calcium, and a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. He still is almost as white as a ghost with a little bit of very...

Thanks so much for all your good advice! It's great to hear from someone so experienced! I'll definitely check the mesh where the lights are located. The brown has disappeared overnight, even though he hasn't shed. My daughter has a heater 24/7 in her room for Lupin, so her room is never...

Any ideas would be great. Thanks! Marla

I also wanted to say that if the spots are burns, I'm not sure how he got them because I hang his light at least several inches above his cage and have 2 thermometers to keep track of the temp, which is usually in the mid-upper 80's at his basking light. There was a time when it did get up to...

Here are several photos. The first one is him with lots of color (a couple of months ago) and the second one is him now with little to no color (today). He also has developed some dark spots that some people said may be burns or bruises. I've included two photos of the dark spots to...

Oops! LOL! He's now 1 yo. and 2 mos. I cut and pasted that information, with some minor changes, from when we first got him. By the way, he is eating and drinking well and moving around and basking, so otherwise seems fine. Thanks for looking! Marla

Our chameleon, who is 1 yo. and 2 months, is a really mellow guy. He's only flared up once a few months ago when I startled him putting in a temperature gauge. He is really sweet and you can hold him and he just chills. What's worrying us is that he doesn't show the bright reds that he used...

Our 7 mo. old cham boy, Lupin, had a sperm plug yesterday. We haven't noticed them before and were curious how often they pass them and how often they become a problem, ie. stuck? Thanks! Marla

Here's a pic of our 6-mo. old ranger boy, Lupin Here's our ranger boy, Lupin! I love the red heart on his side. I see yours has the red heart, too. Must be a Ranger signature! He's one of the sweetest chams we've ever met! We are so lucky to have him! Marla and Amy:)

So sorry for Kukui's passing. I was fortunate enough to meet him and he was the most amazing, laid-back cham I ever met. He loved to climb around on burnedrose and even fell asleep on her arm! She loved him and spoiled him as much as she could! Hoj is right, don't blame yourself. It...
