Sorry everyone, I have found someone to take him. Thank you all for your responses!

I actually live in Oregon if you're really interested haha

If anyone is interested in a 3 year old chameleon please let me know. As a college student I stay at home so that I do not have to pay an extra $12,000. However my mother really does not like Bort (my cham) since she says he uses a "ton" of electricity. I've had him for 3 years but it suddenly...

I don't think it's a bad thing. It could be that your cage is getting small for him? My chameleon does the same thing. I usually open the door, wait for him to stop trying to get out, and then show him the cup and then he eats from it. However when I made my new enclosure, he didn't do it for...

Hi all, I'm just curious as to what type of plants to place in the enclosure. I have an empty 10 gal tank that I'd like to put to use. I have also heard mixed thoughts on having a basking bulbs since they don't need it over 80 degrees or so. Also have heard mixed thoughts on leaf litter! Any...

Took Bort out for the first time in a while and noticed a line under his tail? Could it just be from use?

Hi all, just curious if anyone in Oregon has caught grasshoppers before. I about 20 miles from Portland so I'm just curious. I'd like to breed them for my Cham eventually.

Have you been giving him a multivitamin supplement as well? Supplementing is very important. I supplement my Cham with calcium without D3 almost every feeding and a multivitamin with D3 once every two weeks. As for temperature it may be too hot in general. My basking area is about 85 and the...

You kind of have to grab their legs and pinch at their knees. I'm sure tweezers will be fine though haha

This is how I hand feed, it may be kind of difficult with small crickets though

I hold the cricket by it's back legs, I will post a picture in about 10 mins

When I first got my cham, I hand fed him crickets/superworms for quite a while so he knew I was his source of feeding. After a while of hand feeding, I would put his food in a cup and hold it below him so he can just eat out of it. About ever other day after a feeding I would give him a...

Thanks for all the great replies! In about 2 weeks I'll be getting the new enclosure and will start working with the great stuff. And just to be clear, I should silicone over the great stuff?

Also, I have no idea about how many grasshoppers would be enough, but they are larger than crickets. However I'd love to try and feed grasshoppers to Bort but I have no idea how to get them

I feed my chameleon Bort about 8-10 crickets every other day. He's been fed this way since he turned 1 in January and he does just fine. For supplementing, I dust with calcium without D3 almost every feeding and then a multivitamin with D3 once every 2 weeks.
