The Boiluz light doesn't generate much if any heat. I have it going in my Basilisk setup right now. Still waiting to make sure he won't go blind looking up at it. I noticed it had a ring of LEDs that pumped out the light and that had me stop and not put it on my Veiled just yet.

I picked up a Bioluz LED A19Grow light for the plant in my veiled chameleons cage. Once I got it and plugged it in I was more worried about the light ring making him blind. Him having turret eyes I figured he would just go cross eyed staring at the light. I don't feel this would burden my...

I went back thru and read the MBD thread and it looks like when I got the animal for what I thought was a "steal" at a show he may have had MBD. I noticed that his back legs have a lot of strength but his front ones not so much. This might be why he fell so much after I bought him. At first I...

I have an ostulent chameleon. He seems to have a stunted tongue. I have noticed it doesn't come out nearly as long as my previous Jackson, or veiled's. So he prefers me with hand feeding him. I was able to trick the wife and feed him Dubais' for about 3 months til she googled it one day! Damn...

I hope these pics are helpful.

He strikes but it looks like its a folded over tongue. I dust all of my food that I give him. 3 different supplements, cal with d3, multi, and cal with no d3.

I have a Ost chameleon and have had for a few months now. I picked him up at a swap meet in town for $150. He is the largest chameleon I have ever had. He is very gentle, but not very agile. I had him in a 4' tall cage (hes about 1' long) and all he ever seemed to do was fall. So, to remedy this...

Ok. I had to block one of my cages from my Vieled, I think hes either sweet on my possibly Gravid Jackson or he's intimidating her. So thats why I asked.

I own a Jackson, Vieled, and a Panther.

I have a flowery plant in my new backyard (just moved a few weeks ago- backyard is full of plants). Anyways, I see alot of flys (which my chams eat), bees, and spiders. Should I let my Chams try and eat spiders and bees ? Will the stingers or fangs from spiders and bees hurt their little mouths ?

Can a Vieled mate with a jackson to create a crazy offspring ? Would they be live babies if so ?

My female chameleon rests her face on my screen and now shes starting to rub the front of it a little raw. I put some aloe on it yesterday w/o thinking. I wanted to put neosporin but wasnt sure tbh if she could ingest either so I thought Id post to you guys. Thanks for any input..

silkworms Petsmart has Silkworms if there is any of those stores near you. I feel more comfortable feeding those to my chams than the others with hard exo-shells. I glanced over an article elsewhere and it said that silkworms were fattening and not very good either for chams. If I possibly...

PetDealer I had a pet dealer I bought a mated pair of Jacksons from years ago tell me to feed em pinkies. A month or two later I had to put the male in a freezer cause my vet said his interestines were impacted and the surgery to remove it wouldnt garuntee the little guy would live. He said the...

Thank you. I was reasoning that due to "expansion" they would still shed.
