Sadly my panther got eggbound. After it all looked like it was going so well, with the growing and the digging. This weekend she just started looking so dehydrated and wouldn't take ANY water and then started losing strength and after watching her strain for a day, I took her into the vet. They...

Sadly he didn't make it, too old and too long neglected. They think the kidneys gave out, because all the water he was finally getting with me, just went right through him. Delicate little buggers, they won't show illness till it's too late, which is why it's important to keep up with all the...

Took him to the vet, it is mouth rot (stomatitis) which is a secondary infection due to low immune system and parasites, probably caused by living in a pet store. Course of treatment is removing the sacs from his mouth once a week and he is on a course of baytril. He has probably had this for...

I thought of posting pics, but holding the mouth open and trying to take a shot would be way to stressful for all involved. But it really does look just like a blackhead in the gum and you pick it out. There are three of them still in there, and other pits that suggest they have been there for...

Hi, I just rehomed a cham that has been living in a pet store for at least the last year. I have chams that are doing wonderful in all the recommended habitats and I just got him a few days ago, so it's not a lighting or temp issue. He is sambava maybe 2 yrs old? I wanted him a few months ago...

I have had the same plants in my enclosures for a year with no problem. I hang pothos from the top, and have umbrella and flowering hibiscus on the bottom. I use zoomed 5.0 and house bulbs for basking. I just make sure they are watered just as much as the chams, especially hibiscus and...

Not all Pet stores are bad. I love my Petco, they actually got lucky with great reptile guys that own, love and take care of the reptiles. We need more people to work there that have taken the time to learn about the animals they represent. Maybe we need more herp people to get jobs at these...

Good luck with her! make sure you get a fecal done and just give her time to settle, you will love to watch her get healthy. I scored a beat up, starved montium 6 months ago, it was a joy to watch it color up and fill out.

Hello, I am looking for a healthy female montium, cameroon salifin chameleon. Would love a cb but have had good luck with my wc, so will be happy with one of those. I'll take two if that ever happens! I will pay the going rate and overnight shipping. Thanks :)

Like he wasn't cute enough.....his name is Leopold. :D

I have a veiled and a panther, same set up outside, Tall black net cages. Veiled always up top, LOVES the heat till I have to move him. Panther always mid of the cage in the plants. Big difference in the temps each wants. They are regularly sprayed, panther loves it, veiled moves away. I...

READ, READ, Read about it first, a lot goes into creating a habitat for a cham, especially a baby, way more work than a snake. I get most of my stuff off Craigslist or recycler. Cages, misters, chameleons, They will have it, if you are in a good location. Good luck! I love my monster veiled:)

Tweezers for supers, hormworms you can tweeze the horn, hissers in a spoon on their back, same with dubia. Even just putting them on a lid or small bowl works. Silkies are the only thing I will put on my finger. You can always just dump the feeders in a cup, squeal, and then put them in...

So sorry to hear about you loss:( Please post a pic of him for us to admire. R.I.P.

Ha HA!! I got over my sqeamishness pretty quickly after trying to feed with plastic gloves on. Now I am able to touch any bug to get the reward of hand feeding. Silkies are nice, just put one on your finger and POW! with the supers (bite) and dubia (lots of little feet), I use blunt plastic...
