$50 for Zoo Med ReptiBreeze Cage w/Deep Dome Lamp and Terrarium Hood for sale in LA Sadly my little guy passed away a few weeks ago, so I no longer need these supplies since I don't plan on getting another chameleon in the future. But I would like someone else to have a chance to put these to...

thanks so much for the advice!! i found this out just yesterday by accident. cos a drop got on his mouth and then he licked it off prob thinking what the heck is this on my lips? so he kept opening it and it was easy from there :) i'll keep you all updated on his progress! btw what's a URI?

thanks everyone for the advice! @ matt i feel the same way cos i feel i get more stressed than my cham since i worry about holding him the wrong way & possibly hurting him or injuring his mouth! i think i'll stick with squirting the meds in his mouth while he's drinking water from the leaves...

my cham recently got a small scab on his right hind foot, which i noticed when taking him to the vet. the vet recommended that i put an antibiotic cream on it twice a day for two weeks so it wouldn't get infected. so i did that for about four days and then yesterday i saw that his foot was...

wow xanthoman! such an informative post..had no idea they were darker cos they're getting ready to pupate. thanks a bunch!! i'll keep from feeding him so many waxworms from now on!

since it's usually pretty hot year round here in LA, i don't find a need for a basking lamp at the moment. but if a basking lamp is enough for him to stay warm, then i'll go ahead and do that. i haven't had spinach for too long, so i appreciate the advice.

wow quantum mark, i've never seen a conductor like that before..how fancy! that might be an option... hm okay i'll keep that in mind dodolah. i've read that fischers are cooler climate chameleons, but i just don't want him to get stressed out by the cold temps! i'll just make sure to see how...

yea i've researched before and it said that the temp varies from 85 to 65 degrees farenheit. since it gets a lot cooler than 65 during the winter in my apt, i don't know what to use to keep him warm..:confused:

wow everyone replies so quickly on here, thanks! ah yea i forgot to specify that one important part. he stays indoors in my room, but even in our apt, during the winter it feels just as cold as it is outside and we don't have a heater. unless i were to get one of those heater fans, but...

no i'm not sure what they fed them with..i guess i should ask from now on? and also i guess to be safe, i won't feed my cham the wax worms that have some of the dark colorings. :( i've been gut loading the wax worms with honey cereal cos i read on another place that's what is good for them.

since fall is coming soon and that means cooler temps, i've been thinking about how i'll be able to keep my fischer chameleon warm. he currently lives in a zoo med medium aluminum cage and i live in LA. although you wouldn't think of LA as being a cool place, it can get to about 50 degrees...

i recently bought a 50 count of wax worms from a reptile store and i noticed that some of them have darker coloration in different parts of their body. does this mean that they are dying or are unhealthy? and if so, should i keep from feeding them to my fischer chameleon?

bump :) any insights would be greatly appreciated

i was watching my cham this morning and noticed he was eating the little pieces of moss at the bottom of his bamboo spiral plant. does anybody know if the moss is toxic at all?! i don't know how long he's been doing this cos i only just saw him doing that today. or does it mean he's...

hey everyone! newbie to the forum and first time cham owner..just got my fischer chameleon two wks ago! what exactly is dusting? does that mean dusting the food or the chameleon itself? cos i shake n bake his crickets & worms with calcium and multivitamins before i feed him, but now i'm...
