Chams do have an adjustment period, but you should always make sure they're drinking. In my opinion, his skin does look a little wrinkly and his hip area is pretty sunken in. It looks like you need to up his misting and start a dripper. Get some hornworms, too. Pothos plants hold water very...

If you're having success with glass, then stick with it. I've had no problems with screen cages and Canadian winters, but my house is relatively new and the climate is in check. That's simply what I know. 6 months should be fine for supers, you have to be the judge though. Try a smaller one...

To clear up your dusting dilemma: Calcium w/ NO D3 - A Calcium w/ D3 - B Multivitamins - C If you feed him 7 days a week, your dusting schedule should look like this : AAAAAAB, AAAAAAC, repeat. The idea is that the cham gets D3 and multivitamins in a 2 week cycle, with plain calcium in...

By day/night one, do you mean they have a light on at night? If so, turn it off at night and give them complete darkness. They might not be sleeping properly otherwise. Regardless of the genders they still need to be seperated, completely out of each other's sight. Even 2 females will have...

As long as he isn't getting drenched to the point of covering his nostrils and inhaling water, and has a comfortable perch or plant to sit on, I don't see how a light warm mist shower is any different than a nice mistking session. Besides water quality, and possibly stress factor from such a...

Also watch the mealworms. Their shells are harder to digest for chameleons, I'd stick to superworms instead. Make sure that in addition to your regular calcium, your cham is also getting his multivitamins and D3 intake. You can achieve this through an all-in-one (Repashy offers a couple that...

Find out where the eggs are being laid. I've had a decent infestation before, but it was easily fixable when I realized that I had forgotten to clean out an old cricket keeper. A little housecleaning usually does the trick, paired with some red wine/vinegar traps.

This happened to my female before. I got home from work and had a bad feeling, I went in just to peek and couldn't see her moving anywhere or dirt flying out of the pot. I decided to risk opening the cage, and saw just her tail sticking out of the dirt. I pulled her out, she was shocked and it...

He needs some air movement in there. As well as some plants to climb on and hide in. He's basically confined to one vine, no shade, nowhere to go to regulate his temperatures. I'm guessing it's way too hot in there, and the stale/muggy air somehow gave him a RI. He's going to need a vet and a...

She's got some growing to do then! Looks like she has a nice full belly though.

She looks good to me, do you know approximately how old she is? If I didn't know any better, I'd think she's about to start showing you her receptive colouration! Definitely start researching and setting up a laying bin for her. In time you'll start to learn her habits and figure out when it's...

It's likely just the cham sneezing to clear his nose out. You'll sometimes notice little white crust around his nostrils, which is a build up of salt I believe. Chameleon boogers! If the sneezing is accompanied by a popping sound, and frequent gaping, it's most likely a respiratory infection.

My advice is to reset and test your timers!

Would you say it curves to the left, or slightly to the right? I'll go away now. I'm here for purely educational purposes, I swear!

Eating them? I think he's going another direction entirely. Me personally, I just can't get enough of that juicy booty. Mmm mmm...
