How old is your cham?

Hi! You can check out the care section - see the link in my signature. There is tons of great info there! :)

Just a quick update. Abe had a shed today. After the shed this area looks much better. It seems to be healed, with a slight mark left over. It may never go away, but at this point it seems to be closed and certainly improving :)

There are a wide range of growth rates in chameleons when young. From what I have seen and read, the sizes typically begin to converge around 9-10 months old.

Probably not. One thing to check is how much you are dripping from your dripper. Many people will direct the drops from the dripper to fall into a small container that has been covered in screen (to prevent the cham and feeders from drowning).

Thanks for the time and effort spent on this post! I will definitely look into what you have to offer.

Health Form Here's the health form: Chameleon Info: • Your Chameleon – Veiled, Male, approximately 3.5 months old. I have had him for a little over three weeks. • Handling – About 1x per week. • Feeding – About 10% supers, 40% dubias, 30% crickets, 20% silkworms. Gutloading with a puree of...

Thanks! I will post it as soon as I am back home.

Burn is possible, but it's definitely a "he". Spurs and all :)

Hi everyone, A week or two ago I noticed this little black scab looking thing on Abe's elbow. I'm not 100% sure if this was here when he arrived (about three weeks ago) from the breeder or not. Anyway, I have been keeping an eye on it to see if it got worse, or better. I would say it has not...

This is sort of misleading. If you are providing proper moisture to the cham, then the floor will most certainly get wet. I would not recommend using fabricated wood for the floor. PVC is your best bet. And spraying the foliage is not negative - on the contrary it is necessary. As far as drop...

I would say forget about the dripzip - you really don't need it. Also, you really have to push hard on some of these fittings. Where exactly is it coming lose? On the connection from the pump out to the nozzle?

I just started a colony of dubia's, and let me tell you - MUCH better to keep than crickets. Although I do still provide crickets (in addition to supers, silkies, horworms, the occasional meal worm, etc.), dubia's have now become about 40% of his diet. I would highly recommend trying to start a...

I usually limit supers to one day per week at most. He does love them, but this is prevented any "addiction" issues.

Well enjoy the process! That's half the fun of this hobby. I think it tends to attract lots of do-it-yourself, "tinkerer" type people, because of all the little projects we get to work on.
