I appreciate this, regarding the information you guys needed Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? He’s a male panther chameleon, I got him as a juvenile and have had him for what I assume is about a year and a half now Handling...

That pic shows she is gravid and angry. I highly recommend reading everything in this husbandry program.... https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/ Just the set up she was in was not correct. Red lights can harm their eyes and being housed with...

Oh man! The calendar goal too! I hope to have a photo place in a contest again this year :D

Hi - Larry The Lizard, my 8.5 month male veiled chameleon has a good chance of dying. Don't worry, I have already been to the Vet over a week ago. This is my first chameleon and despite 2 months of research before I purchased him things went downhill fast. I am taking care of him like a...

Hi. I am afraid I know little about Jackson’s, but your vitamin regimen caught my eye. That is something I do know about. You say you are giving Repti vitamins every week. What is the exact name of what you are giving? Maybe post a pic of it. What about calcium? Are you giving any of that and if...

As long as you getting approiate size alls good

Yeah I was thinking something along those lines of getting another enclosure otherwise it’s impossible. Plus the one I have is tiny and why it starts to smell quick. And I do my best to find the dead ones on the bottom of his enclosure. The good thing is I’ve never seen him go down more than...

The Locust are easy to keep, cleaner, don't require water and live much longer than crickets. Ordering the Locust has decreased my trips to the store for feeders. I've had the Locust 17 days and none of them have died.

I started off by getting my crickets from Petco because it was close. Within a few days all the crickets would die. No matter what I did. So I started going to Pet Supplies Plus. Their crickets were great! They lived long enough for my chameleon to eat them all! However one day I went and got...

So recently it tried starting my own cricket colony. But after a few weeks they have all died off. I’ve been giving them water and mustard greens to eat. My only guess is maybe it’s to hot for them? Though the good thing is that one cricket did lay eggs and now I do have some baby’s. Anyone...

I would suggest a local regular vet with some reptile knowledge until you can locate an Exotic Vet. The local vet can at least treat the mouth rot, mbd (calcium/hydration injection) and do a fecal. This is what I did before I located an Exotic vet

Yes, grasshoppers can be huge. I'm breeding my own. Bolt eats small-medium. I remove the bottom legs. They are kinda bony but they are worth everything to me. I can keep them over 3 months with none of them dying.

Hello, I am new to the forums as well as new to chameleon keeping. I am looking for a male juvenile veiled chameleon. I do not have him yet but I’m hoping to get him soon! I just want to make sure that my husbandry is correct! Since I don’t have him yet, I will list what I am planning to do as...

Oh wow how old is he? My guys not too big here’s a pic. If your guys as big as mine I gotta start feeding him much more. My issue was the feeder thing I had for crickets was terrible they just got right onto the screen and would hide until they’d die he’d only catch a few then they’d be in the...

Ive been ordering fron @SauceGandhi almost a year. Your Cham and you will love grasshoppers. They live for over 30 days, no water or cleaning needed, easy to gut load and best of all they make no noise. 1 or 2 might die but even thats rare. When I buy 60 crickets at least 15 -20 die within...

If i get a feeder like the one you attached, can small crickets hop out of there? For example if I put in 15 one day, would they all eventually hop out, or just maybe one or two?

I will definitely trim the legs. I purchased “medium” so I’ll see if my veieled and panther like them. Otherwise I’ll have a colony of pet grasshoppers haha

Hi I think there maybe a mix up and are you talking about feeding your chameleon or the supplements???

Critter Depot has them on occasion. I’ve also gotten them from Petsmart here and there. They do die much easier than banded crickets.

I order crickets from rainbow mealworms. Keep in mind anything you order if USPS you want to make sure you choose that it is held at the post office rather than deliver. This is really important because temps in delivery trucks are too hot for them and they all die off. I only use UPS and Fedex...
