Hello, just wondering if my Jackson’s chameleon, Jacky, is gravid. She’s had a total of two births. How many births do they have after mating one time? Thanks!

I oversaw the care and enclosure; everything was going to plan.

I gave a good friend a baby Jackson’s chameleon who is knowledgeable of reptiles. It died at 3 weeks old, just after I gave it to her. It seemed “malnourished,” but I can’t seem to make sense of it. Any ideas?

Long story short: bought a female Jackson’s, came home from vacation and found nine babies. They are two days old today. Mom wants one, I want a male. Is there anyway to sex them now? Thanks!

Yes, we have a herp vet that’ll look into it. When I pinch it, she runs faster, indicating that it either hurts if makes her feel comfortable. Thank you for your help!!!

I just bought a female Jackson’s chameleons. The back of her tail is darkly colored. Here are some pics. Should I just send her to the vet?

Male or Female? If female, she could be ready to lay eggs.

This is Buddy, he’s about a-year-old and I just want to make sure everything looks OK. Thanks!

Is this a normal shape? Is it genitalia? Sperm plugs?

Chameleons are usually too delicate for surgery. Just try to look in trees and high places. It's best to designate a plant for them to hang out in.

If she starts to dig, but fails, IMMEDIATELY go to the vet. She can die from egg-binding within 48 hours. Please research Follicular Stasis. I see it in many Petco/PetSmart sold chameleons.

What is this thing that came with my crickets? Safe?

Just starting breeding waxworms, and wondering if waxmoths are good/safe for my chameleon.

Be very careful with store-bought females. I bought two females from petco, both unfortunately died from a condition called follicular stasis. It's an egg binding condition where the follicles in the chameleon don't become eggs, creating a blockage. It's caused by malnutrition in early life...
