I've cut him back to one decently sized feeder every 3rd day, and bumped up dripper usage for extra hydration opportunities. I just hope I've caught his squishy weight gain early enough so that he's not harmed by it. I scaled back feedings around the one year mark, to 3-4 feeders every other...

So since your last post essentially you cut one of the feeding days. Going from 3 days down to 2 days. How fast did he reduce weight? He now is looking too thin and very frail with not much muscle tone. Did you monitor his weight using a gram scale like I recommended? If so how much does he...

Hi there and welcome to the forum! @Beman is one of the very best and has taught so many of us how to be fantastic chameleon keepers and give the best care to our little scaled friends. You are in amazing hands with her. ☺️ I do have 2 cents to add and that is about enclosure size. You want to...

I did not use the gram weigher. He lost the weight in a span of 9 months or so since I went to college & my parents fed him whenever they remembered. I'm back home for a few months now and trying to make up for lost time. I tested him for a parasites a few years ago and came back clean. I do...

I just ordered the 48x19x48”!!

Well, usually the vet just holds the animal and looks at them. A good and experienced vet will listen with stethoscope and may gently palpate areas. They are primarily looking for signs of mbd, skin/scale health, bright eyes, alertness, muscle development, range of motion of extremities...

Hi. I’m not sure if that’s a burn or not. Best thing to do is keep a close eye on it for changes. If it is a burn, her scales may darken and start to shrivel and can form an open wound as the dead scales slough off. If you start seeing any changes that this or similar is happening, make a vet...

Hello and thank you so much! Yes I do go in with a spray bottle about twice a day. I am currently working on that bigger enclosure for my sweet girl. I understand the whole sensitivity she will has when deciding to lay her eggs but am still somewhat confused on the egg whole bin and privacy...

I feel silly for this comment, I wasn't accounting for the weight of the box. Nevertheless, I knew I had to start her big girl diet. August 2: Littlefoot was starting to show different colors; so, I studied how to use the scale properly, and weighed her.

Th thank you so much!! this is all really good info!! I’m taking everything into account that you’ve both said! In addition to this, does any of the above info indicate why she may be napping during the day? :(

I'll start cleaning them right away and keep them distant from my other plants. Thanks! Yep! It's helped my umbrella plants and fittonias so much! I plan to propagate the monstera once it's back to being better. I noticed the pests when repoting, after letting it get used to the temperature and...

I’m surprised there is a dispute about what species of Jackson’s this is. It seem quite obvious and the differences in Jackson’s has been talked about on this forum for many years. Here are the things that stand out that help identify this Jackson’s as a female Jacksonii Jacksonii. #1 The...

This thread is such a fun tradition I love seeing how creative everyone gets with their cham edits each year!

She should be attracted to the linear UVB's light source, as it is "the sun" to her. If your ambient temp is too high for the recommended, doing what it takes to cool down the room isn't a bad idea. Monitoring the temps and humidies will really determine how necessary it is. I'm not versed in...

Wow wow wow thank you so much for this confirmation! I’m actually really happy to know I have a female and so excited to see how this differs from owning males. anything I should know about their care please share! Thank you again!

@MissSkittles already helped you but just the 2 cents I know about why Kammerflage says to use repashy calcium plus everyday. They used T8 UVB fixtures instead of T5HO. When I reached out to them a few years ago they were still testing the T5HO with the repashy calcium plus everyday. I would...

1) My "base" for it is everything I wrote in the reply. A) Various published analyses of chameleon poop showing only small amounts of pollinators. WELL, THERE ARE NO WIDE SCALE STUDIES AS YOU KNOW. I HAVE FOUND POLLINATORS EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY, presented the evidence on my site incl youtube...

I need pics of the entire cage set up including lighting down along with pics from today of him. And to be as thorough as possible if you can do the husbandry review by copy pasting the form below into your reply and then answering the questions with detail. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon -...

Hello and welcome! Lets do a husbandry review to make sure you have everything correct for your little guy. I would say if your guy is pooping and shedding he is eating. You could get a little gram scale and weigh him weekly to ensure his growth as well. Where you see him daily you are not...
