You can put them in a closed (dark) box and they fall asleep.

I just bought the cups and filled them from my feeder bins. You don't want to dust the bugs with supplements because they'll survive better without that. I think there's a Chameleon Academy Podcast episode that covers travel as well. I'll look for a link for you later today.

Hello, I am planning to travel to Madagascar, Kenya in May. Is there a place where I can see a chameleon? Please share it with me.

Some are but not the one I linked it's much bigger than a laundry hamper. 4' dia. x 5' tall and only $60.

I let him out of his cage one day and the direct sunlight was hitting his branch. I’m still curious how this much damage happened through a window.. needless to say I will be looking for a vet to take a look at him as soon as possible. I’ll post an update :(

I recently got back from a 2-week expedition to Madagascar where I primarily looked for chameleons and observed them in their native habitat. I thought I would make this thread to summarize some observations I had during this time, probably over a few separate posts over time. Of course this is...

Wow, thank you so so much for you in-depth reply. I really appreciate it. It’s been so hard to find accurate information and how to care for my little guy properly without getting judged lol. I’m taking screenshots and noting everything you said down and will get everything fixed to my best...

Hi and welcome! :) Yoshi is quite the handsome big guy. Since you gave all of your info, I’ll give you some constructive feedback. Enclosure 1) Reptisun 18”x18”x38” (on 10am-10pm, timer) Your big guy has already outgrown this size and needs larger. The minimum size for an adult veiled is 2x2x4’...

I recently got my new little guy last week and I have built out his enclosure which is small and temporary while I wait for his new larger enclosure to come in. I have been doing research for about a year and am very excited for this journey. If you’re asking why I have a small enclosure if I’ve...

Hi. I’m so sorry that your little lady is not looking good at all. With her eyes so sunken in she is likely very dehydrated and usually when they start looking like this, …. 😢 Your very best action would be to get her to a good vet immediately. Most of us have to travel a bit for our good vets...

Interesting info about plants eaten by veiled chameleon…interesting to see the size of the area they travel in a short time… https://mauiinvasive.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/final-report-on-veiled-chameleon-for-hisc-research-and-technology-grant.pdf

I drive a little over 2 hours with my guy for the vet. Like missskittles said, in a box and he sleeps the whole time. Does just fine!

i’ll do my best to get him in, but it’s hard traveling to work and the vet in the same day. i’ve never been so worried, do you think he’ll have a chance at recovery at all? i’ll do my best to get him in as soon as possible

That is incredible. I may do the same at some point just so I have it just in case.

So happy to see he's still going strong and healthy. The traveling chameleon. So precious!

Thanks so much! If tomorrow doesn't go well, I will have to do that, it's a 4 hour drive 1 way, would a chameleon be good to travel that long?

You may have to travel some but I'd call around looking for a exotics vet, ask specifically if they work with chameleons. Seeing your enclosure photo I'd put a divider between the two so they can't see each other. Corrugated plastic, shower curtain or even a black trash bag will work.

Hi. Oh dear. Poor guy. I’m not sure which issue to address first. He needs a good vet asap. What is your general location? We have a list of good vets with chameleon experience, but you may need to travel a little. The butt bump I suspect is probably built up shed and hemipenes plugs. It would...

Hi. :) Chameleons don’t like so much change - it stresses them out. Amongst the parasites, pinworms comparitively are basically a walk in the park on a beautiful day. After giving the medication, you really only need to do one good enclosure cleaning - two if you’re so inclined. Then just...
