I feel ya! Pests are the worst! I have 250 houseplants & deal with aphids spider mites thrips fungus gnats & mealy bugs, which is in the scale family. I haven’t had the particular ones you are experiencing (yet) but I have heard they are next to impossible to completely 100% get rid of. Which I...

One of my favorite photoshoots with my boy, when I was playing around with string lights in the background.

It sounds like you will need a vet visit for sure. Closing eyes during the day is one of the only signs we get that a chameleon is not doing well. But I did notice you are not offering any multivitamin 2x a month. Sometimes closing of the eyes is a lack in nutrients, specifically a vitamin A...

I’m in NJ too! Jersey shore area myself. And my guy has the winter blues hardcore every year! It’s especially bad in December, where he’ll go a couple days just staying in the same spot & never going up to bask & the days he does bask, it’s just for an hour or two. He is mostly out of his winter...

MistKing all the way! It’s soooo quite compared to the other & you can set it by the second! Very handy when you want to boost your humidity without drenching everything to much! Think the reptirain’s lowest setting is 60 seconds. And you get to choose your own size reservoir. Which seem...

I 100% agree with MissSkittles & SteveH! I couldn’t have said it better myself! I would also make a vet appointment, when you can & tell them your thoughts & concerns. If you want to try someone different then your current vet, check out this website & find another vet near you...

Sounds normal to me. My guy gets very uncomfy during a shed. He climbs all around & occasionally rubs his face against a branch. I’m sure it’s an itchy business. And he does these huge wide yawns! All these movements helps loosen the skin so it can eventually flake off. So, I think he is acting...

My Nosy Faly Panther Chameleon named Kahuna peeking out through his Parlor Palm.

Every time you feed your chameleon you should be dusting with calcium (without D3) and then dust with a multivitamin once every two weeks. And you should feed a variety of feeders to your chameleon so that it gets a whole wide range of much needed nutrients. Picture eating a plain hamburger...

I have a 17 month old male Nosy Faly Panther...he basks about 8” away & I used to have a 75 watt bulb but when I saw these black spots 2 weeks ago, I went down to a 60 watt bulb. Now a week later since the change, I haven’t noticed any difference so I’m now wondering if it’s a fungal infection...

I have always used real sticks & branches from outside for my chameleon enclosures. I sanitize them, bake them for 30 minutes on 250 to get rid of bacteria & pests & have always read that fake vines, hammocks & climbing ladders are host for bacteria to grow so I never wanted to use them. But I’m...

Thank you so very much! It is very possible that it was a burn! My basking light blew the day before & I went to the store & accidentally grabbed a 100w clear bulb, instead of a 75w soft white bulb. The white on his arm has lessened since then & is almost gone. Thanks again!
