OMG, that's not a cure, it's another severe affliction that I have had for many years. :wideyed:

I can't add anything to what has been said as far as care goes, but I wanted to tell you what a great job you're doing. You must be a great Mom as well. I do want to give you a word of caution, because this could get ugly. You can catch a very persistent and costly affliction from...

Have you looked into breeding grasshoppers, like the small to medium species native here in Florida (of course not the Lubbers, they're toxic)?

I wonder if you could carry him on the plane as a comfort pet. :)

If you decide to ship your chameleon, I agree that using Shipyourreptiles would be the best option. Not only do they have the experience and materials to ship properly, they are compliant with the US Department of Agriculture Lacey Act regulations regarding shipping live animals. A lot of...

Misting and dripping can be messy if it isn't set up right. A lot of people are just plain lazy.
