i have had my fischers chameleon for just over a year now. he seems happy overall and very explorative. he pretty much gets free run of the apartment whenever i am here and he climbs onto me or my girlfriend freely and with very little hesitation. my current inquiry is related to feeding. i...

been a while since i posted on here, but my guy has luckily been very healthy and active. today though when he was on a bookshelf i went to get him and he had pooped with normal white urate but also a small puddle of clear watery liquid. i have his light on a timer, so i'm not usually around for...

so i look over and my guy is sitting with his mouth open. then he starts swinging his head back and forth and opening it wider. when i opened his cage he stopped and ran right over to my hand like always. wtf??

so sometimes when he's walking i can see his ribs. not when he is sleeping, and not always. to be honest, i don't remember this about my veiled. his eyes are wide open and he has a good grip, so is it maybe just because they are hinged ribs and they move against his skin?

21 celcius. which is 75 f i think? i'm taking advantage of the current warm before it goes back to cold and wet.

so i have had my fisher's named fletcher for about 3 weeks now, and today i took him outside for the first time. he seemed to enjoy being perched on my hand and looking around, but he was fairly dark for most of the walk. in general he eats every day/every other day, goes to bed at roughly the...

right but how do i know if he is too hot/cold? my main concern about him hanging out in the window was that he would be too cold due to a draft. would he move if he was too cold or too warm?

ok, so stupid question here, but my cham was hanging out in a window plant today and the radiator was on about a foot and a half under him. he was fine and doing his chilled out lazy arm hanging sit, but when i put my hand out for him to climb on he was actually warm instead of his usual cool. i...

i'm not great with technology. i A) can't figure out how to post an avatar on here, as i think when i tried the picture was too big, and B) can't figure out how to make my camera take smaller pictures. also, can't figure out how to post pictures in general....

schefflera is an umberella tree right? i kept my veiled free range with one of those with a heat/uv light hung over it as his house. i think when i misted it every day that the leaves burnt. maybe i'm wrong?

what is a good branchy bush like plant that is less than 30 inches tall(including pot) that can deal with being misted daily so that he can climb on it and drink from it?

what are mites? what do they look like? how bad are they? how does one rid a chameleon of said mites? my guy has on one of his horns a black rectangular shaped thing/stuff that resembles mildew. i soaked a q-tip in saline solution and rubbed at it, and found that if i rubbed hard, some of it...

he doesn't turn the purple colour all over. it is a purpleish pink kindof wine type color that his white spots can turn. the red was on his stomach and gullet(the bit under his mouth) when he was looking at himself in the mirror. he puffed up and his belly/gullet were red, then there was orange...

so i think i may have asked this before, but how much should a fischer's chameleon eat every day? i'm gonna say he is full grown even though i was told he is a juvenile, as he is over a foot from head to tip of tail, and he eats only 1 or 2 crickets at a time, usually about 2-3 a day max. could...

he's awesome! what kind of cham is that?
