This does not surprise me at all. Life finds a way. I believe chameleons do this more than most thought possible. When I became fascinated with chams there were 174 known breeds. Now there are over 200. Not all of these were new finds, but finds of crossbreeding. I believe this can happen in all...

We have lost a true light in this world! Thank you Ms Goodall for teaching me responsibility to the world I live in. You taught by example. You led with kind yet fierce determination. An example I will always cherish.

Bravo! The pictures looks great to me. They are doing the dance and look quite pleased with themselves! You have work so long and tried everything. The boys are always ready, but the girls have the inner knowledge when things will be right. She said gave the thumbs up so the pairing will end up...

Bravo!👏👏. It looks wonderful. I just love the plants too! You might want to add some waterproof eyehole screws that you can zip tie vines to. J it st a thought. You have made a Palace for royalty. Congratulations

Didn’t know this would cause such an uproar. This is coming from a herp vet who has owned chameleons for over sixty years not someone from Reddit! This biggest thing I got from his wisdom was adding a probiotic to his diet. I didn’t even know they had probiotics for reptiles. BTW my boy is...

I have a 50 watt for my panther that I keep at 80 at basking spot and a 75 watt for my veiled that stays at about 89 at his basking spot. I like the splash proof basking bulbs as they last forever and I don’t have to worry about water. You can also lower his basking branch. Whatever is easier. I...

This is a long one but the info I am sharing needs to be heard. My veiled Hunter has a hemipene protrusion that I posted about. After cutting off the blood flow with a rubber band he has continued to go downhill so I contacted the vet and wouldn’t you know it, he is on a three week vacation. The...

BTW from here on out, when her tail sheds I would help to make sure no blood flow gets cut off. Chams heal very slow so have patience.

Well I have used it. It was recommended to me for treating radiation burns by doctors. It worked great but finding it was hard. Got it at a health food store. If it was my veiled, I would use it. That’s just me. It’s derived from a flower.

Thank you Jann. I have a few more grey hairs over this but as long as he pulls through, I will take the gray gladly.

Oh it doesn’t hurt the plants at all. I get a piece of plastic wrap and tuck the sides down at the edge of the soil then put the rest toward the plant and toss on a few rocks to hold it. To be honest, none of these tricks work without the use of a vacuum. They go to the lights. The foam happened...

I just want to inform everyone about what my 4 year old male veiled has gone through. It started as a left pene that would not retract. I noticed that the itgg he Rt half of the vent was clogged and removed debris. I think it was part sperm plug and part molt. Once I pulled everything out of...

Well I cover the soil of all plants with Saran Wrap. You can still water them by pulling it back and replacing it. Then I vacuum up the rest. I also had luck with putting soft foam on top of the screen next to the lights. They went thru the screen then got trapped in the foam.

My vet recently turned me onto beta carotene for the eyes. I get it in the soft gel form put it in the syringe and give them about one to two ml. But carrots are very high in it so make sure you feed your crickets carrots. The doctor said that beta carotene really helps with any eye problems and...

Are the walls to your cage glass? You really need to get rid of the entire floor and have it clean for several reasons. First, she is a female and will think the floor is the floor of the forest and try to dig a hole to lay eggs with no luck. She won’t know to use a lay bin. Next, it is a...
