You need to provide for all of their needs, such as correct uvb, basking temperatures, humidity levels, safe live plants, plenty of space to move around and lots of branches to travel on. Placing the enclosure so the chameleon is able to look down on the world makes it feel safer. Then you need...

Dr Greek is about 30 min maybe 45 with no traffic. Definitely doable

Aww…baby! 🤗 The bright colors he had were likely from stress. To be so dark as in the pic, he may be trying to better absorb uvb or heat. @elizaann2 beat me to advising a cooler basking temp. Have you seen him in his basking area? He might still be too shy to be in the open to bask and so is...

This is exactly why I think Petr’s approach is sound. Substantive discussions with real albeit observational data comes along with some hard data as well I don’t give a rats distant end about being right or wrong. I want what he wants. Healthy animals. I don’t have a Cham in the game right now...

Thank you, everything here is very informative.

Arent these just pop up laundry hampers with a lizard on the box? https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/traveling-with-chameleons.733/

Hi and welcome. :) Your big guy looks to have something trapped deep in his eye. It could also be related to his sinuses and the concern is always for infection. Only a vet can do a deep flush of the eye and investigate what is going on. Not all exotics vets are experienced with chameleons and...

You definitely want to start reducing your cutie’s diet. I like to do things like that gradually. So, if you’ve been giving her say 12 feeders daily, bring her down to 10 daily for a week or so…then 8 and when you get to 6 feeders, go from daily to every other day. She’s still got some growing...

Yikes! Many of us have to travel a bit for good vets. Your guy really does need to be seen by a vet. Not just to get a better topical, like silver sulfadiazine, but he may need oral antibiotics too. You’ll need to make some improvements to prevent him from getting burned again. Your enclosure...

Where? Am I blind? lol 😂 I did miss the dome light fixtures in the pics. I do need to correct you… **If using the T8 fixture that you show for uvb, the strength of the uvb bulb needs to be 10.0 or Arcadia 12%. However, since the T8 is only 18”, getting the 24” T5 would provide better coverage...

Hello! Attached you will find our vet list :)

Hmmm I think I see faint receptive colors, my biggest worry is she is looking for a place to lay eggs. veiled chameleons can lay eggs without a male. do you have a laybox for her?

Oh I love Dav!!! I saw the Madagascar episodes too. Those were good! Have you seen ones where Dav travels with Adam Wicken? Love those two together.

I've moved the heat lamp just a little closer to his hiding spot, so we will see how that goes. The distance is 8 inches.

Yeah, he should be fine with the enclosure on its side for now. If he’s falling or having trouble getting around, we usually advise using a hospital bin, which is just limiting space so they can’ climb or get hurt. From my personal experience and what I’ve read here, the majority of vets are...

Yes. I’ve learned a lot from him. There’s another reptile enthusiast that I’ve followed for a long time named Dav Kaufman (sp??). He goes all over the world to observe and learn about reptiles in their native habitats. He did an episode where he travelled to Madagascar to observe chameleons and...

Yikes! You need to stop this asap and get a calcium that does not have D3. He should get D3 only once a month. Vitamin D3 is a fat soluble vitamin, which means it stays in the body longer, so it can very easily build up to toxic levels. If your Reptivite does not have D3 in it, then you’ll use...

I have no idea of the distance you’d need to travel back to Dr Greek, but afaik, he is one of the better chameleon vets in the country and I’d definitely be going back to him if able. I choose to drive 45-60 mins each way for a good vet when I need more than just a fecal. Put your chameleon in a...

I thought something may be lodged in his eye however he does it with both of his eyes at the same time. A while ago he was constantly opening his mouth could this show signs of sinus infection aswell

Here is part two. Hopefully work won’t call me away again. Cage Info: Cage Type - Screen. Lighting - Dual bulbs. ReptiSun 5.0 UVB with amplified heat. What do you mean, “amplified”? Daylight Blue Basking light. Every morning I turn them on, every night I turn them off. You want a 12 hour...
