If you're like me, and have a small house (or apartment) without room for tools and a workroom to build your own stand... Then yes, as was recommended earlier, you can find things at Loews. I've seen pictures of some people using IKEA furniture pretty effectively too.

Sorry shouldn't have used the words "Should". What I mean is that with that level of supplementation, even though it's not ideal, I wouldn't think the chameleon could develop MBD. I'm glad you're giving Fred the care he needs and took him to the vet. I'm sorry they couldn't do more for him...

Meghan, I went through the same sort of thing you did when I first got into chameleons. I started with a Jackson, then moved onto a Veiled, and then I got into Panthers. I have a new baby Panther now, who is just learning how to hand-feed and it's so cute! ANYWAYS this is just my personal...

With your supplementation schedule that you've mentioned, it sounds like you're doing what you should. But then I look at your pictures, and it screams MBD at me. It doesn't look as bad as a lot of cases I've seen, but from the pictures it looks like it. Get X-Rays from the vet, and get...

He'll probably pass it on his own the next time he poops, but if it sticks around for awhile you can help him and pull it out.

He looks a little young too. He'll probably blue up some more. My last Nosy Be didn't get REALLY blue until he was 14-16 months old. He was pretty teal before then.

So gorgeous!

Wow, his eyes look 75% better. Glad he's using his tongue more too. Keep him well hydrated and fed, he still has a ways to go. ONE suggestion I have it to keep him low to the ground. Don't give him any tall plants to climb. In his weakened state he could still fall off a branch and...

??? I didn't know that Chameleons were illegal ANYWHERE. Is this true? I could see them being illegal to IMPORT, but illegal to own domestically captive-bred animals?

Well he's CERTAINLY not camera shy!

I don't think I've ever paid much attention to the frequency of my chameleon sheds, so I'm not even sure what is normal for that age. Once a month? Every other week? In terms of drinking, I'd offer a drip in addition to the Mistking, but that's about the only advise I can give you. I have...

I've owned several types of cages, but never the bottom two types you posted. The screen looks a little "bowed" on the sides, so it looks a little weird to me. Having a clear front door sounds fun... but the first things I think of are whether or not it's reflective and will freak out the...

Yay full recovery! He's such a gorgeous red.

Is she eating / drinking? I know that you say her urate looks good, but her eyes still look a little sunken to me. Also in the one picture you posted, her tail looks a little thin and bony, and I think I'm seeing her ribs too much. Looks can be deceiving though, not sure if she was puffing...

On the cage issue, I believe this is the cage she has: http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/natural_terrarium_mini.php Because it's so small, I'm assuming this is a very young chameleon, so it's likely pretty small. We haven't seen pictures yet, so no way to really know for sure. I...
