    June 2026 Photo Contest

    Hoo boy! There’s no way in any reality that I can take a pic that can compete with those already entered. That’s never stopped me before though. ;) I’ve got a busy week ahead, but maybe I can find the time for a quick photo shoot. Maybe!

    Hydration

    What color are her urates? That is usually the best gauge of hydration status.

    Fan Air Duct for Glass Enclosure

    I do like the idea, however most just sit the fan on the top screen of the enclosure, pulling the air from inside to the outside.

    is my chameleon adapting okay?

    The initial set up for any reptile (any type of animal really) is usually quite expensive and chameleons can be at the high end. There are some ways to cut costs, but for many things there are no ways to compromise. All of my enclosures are bioactive, but I’ve always used the ReptiBreeze...

    New to chameleons

    I would suggest buying (or making your own) shooting gallery style feeding station. I’ve made my own versions of it a few times from various plastic food containers. I can’t recall if they came from a frozen meal or take out, but I washed it very well before making. You could probably use any...

    YBBB Chameleon!!

    Ah! You reminded me! Chameleons can be as addicitive as potato chips and it’s hard to have just one. ;)

    is my chameleon adapting okay?

    Mealworms aren’t the greatest staple feeder. Hornworms are wonderful hydrating treats that almost no reptile can refuse. I have a wild caught veiled who is slightly picky, but when he sees any type of wormy feeder, he is there! I’m attaching the feeder and gutloading graphics for you. Many of...

    YBBB Chameleon!!

    He’s gorgeous! You’ve already learned one of the most important things, and that’s to get your chameleon from a reputable breeder. I’m sure they have helped you with any questions and husbandry needs already. I would advise to get some silkworms from them and make them a part of your guy’s...

    is my chameleon adapting okay?

    Hi and welcome. :) Adding another confirmation that you have a pretty little girl. She looks to have already developed or is in the process of developing her big girl colors and patterns. This is my blog on the care of female veileds...

    A little to fat?

    I feed all of mine every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the equivalent of 3-4 large crickets. On one day of the weekend, I offer a treat - a superworm or a hornworm or maybe a couple of wax worms. I can’t recall the specifics, but grasshoppers are not fed the same as other feeders. I believe that...

    My Guy is in Trouble

    The only items in your husbandry that I see needing to be changed is that the Repashy LoD should be given just twice per month, or every other week. The vitamins A & D are both fat soluble and can build up, so we are cautious with using them. The other is that running your Mist King for just 25...

    My Guy is in Trouble

    The main area I was curious about is your supplementation. You should be dusting lightly at every feeding with a phosphorus-free calcium without D3. Then, while there are different ways to provide them, he needs not just a calcium without D3, but also a multivitamin with both being given twice...

    My Guy is in Trouble

    @Caeruleus you haven’t responded to any of us. I’m just wondering how your guy is faring? Have you taken him to a vet?

    Mouth rot

    Try to get some softer feeders, like silkworms or even (not overly large) crickets to avoid irritation to his mouth. Sometimes the crunchier feeders or those with spiky legs are the cause of stomatitis…or those which bite back, like superworms and hornworms. Making sure he’s well hydrated and...

    Mouth rot

    Getting him to a decent vet asap is the best course of treatment. He will be needing antibiotics.

    Fruit for hydration

    You can keep hornworms in the fridge overnight to slow their growth, but any longer than that and they’ll die. Just buy what he can eat in a day or get as small as possible. If it gets too big, don’t chance giving it to him. Maybe you have a friend with a bearded dragon who will appreciate the...

    Fruit for hydration

    Hi and welcome. :) Yes, he does need more hydration. Have you been misting/spraying at all? That is probably the best way to offer hydration. A few minutes before his lights go on and off for the day, you should be misting his leaves for about two minutes. If needed, you can add a mid day...
