I am taking my veiled chameleon to the vet today because he is sick, but I'm concerned about taking him out in this weather. I live in Michigan and it is 14 degrees and even colder with the wind chill. I don't want him to get more sick than what he is now. I think he has MBD & I'm taking him...

I have a veiled chameleon that I've had for over a year. We got him from a pet store & he was very malnurished. He was so bad that his crest was crooked & flat. now he is vibrant color & a full crest that is straight. I noticed a couple of days ago that he was laying down alot & closing his...

I was wondering if there was any way to tell the age of a chameleon? I got mine from a pet store & it was very neglected. He is doing great, eating well & very active. I'm just not sure how old he is. Any ideas?? Thanks!

What a cutie pie!

Thanks! I appreciate all the help. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!;)

It is a horn worm. I don't have a picture of the blood in the stool, but it was only a couple of drops on the branches and it hasn't happened again. this sounds grose, but after my chameleon poops, he walks around dragging his pooper along the branches. Is this like he's wiping himself?

I named him Peetree from the land before time!

I'm new to this & I've been reading that you need to mist your chameleon for 5 minutes & this will help them drink. My chameleon does not like to be misted and does not drink when we mist him. we have a baby medicine droper that we use to feed him water and he seems to like that. Am I not...
