Their colors become very apparent in their sleep, typically. I agree that a daytime photo would really help, but I do lean towards pigmentation myself. Here's a cute thread of chameleons in their "pjs" to look over too. You can see several veileds showing off their dark blacks even in their...

I don’t think she looks underweight. I look to the casque. For panthers, you don’t want it bulging out as that means they are obese. You don’t want it too concave like a bowl as that means too thin. Cheeks are the other indicators. You want the casque to be more flat and cheeks to be flat...

Thank you so much! I will update soon with any improvements

For those of you that don’t know my husband, Michael, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday morning February 23rd of a massive heart attack. We were together for 47 year and married 44 of those and traveled to so many places and had so much fun together. He supported me and helped me...

Hi. This poor guy needs a vet immediately! We can help you make husbandry corrections but we can’t fix this. It can be difficult to find vets with experience with chameleons, so I’ll attach the list we have. Often we have to travel a bit. I can make some other suggestions, but get him to a vet asap.

So, just FYI, the only vet you have listed for MT is not in MT, they're in MO.

I’m afraid that your reptile store hasn’t given you fully correct info. The most important is your UVB is not the right type. Chameleons need linear T5 fixtures with either Arcadia 6% or ReptiSun 5.0 UVB bulbs. Distance between basking branch and light should be 8-9”. The coiled screw in type...

I would suggest getting a collection of varied watts of basking bulbs and monitor temps thru the day to adjust as needed. You may want to think about getting a herpstat to keep the temp more consistent. https://spyderrobotics.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 That is probably the best way to go.

Oh my gosh thank you so much! I will be definitely taking all this advice, thank you for taking time out of your day to reply to me!!

Hi. Your husbandry looks ok. I would suggest switching from Repashy calcium plus to Repashy calcium plus LoD and offering more variety of feeders. FYI - many chameleons are secret drinkers. Here’s the vet list we have for the UK. Sorry, but I’m clueless about your geography. I can tell you...

I’m so sorry for your loss

thank you! Honestly that was my thought about her casque as well. Given I'm not super experienced, but I don't think she's underweight either.

so, guys, today my math period teacher told us that she wanted to get a class pet and asked us what she should get. I said something like a hamster or fish, something easy and not hard to care for. She said no to that. She said she didn’t want an animal with fur and fish die too quickly… I was...

I also want to add that Herbie is possibly in the beginning stages of renal failure (sorry should have mentioned why I was this nervous to travel with him), so he's not really in the best conditions for something stressful

I use a mesh pop-up laundry bag (you could buy one at Walmart or Target), which comes with plastic sticks for the outside to hold it's shape. I take a bendy vine and zip tie it on the inside, making sure the ends of the zip tie are outside of the container. I put an old towel in the bottom...

Wow thank you so much for this. Very helpful!

Hello everyone, I’m not sure if this is usual chameleon shedding or not. But to summarize I left for vacations and left my chameleon to my friends care. Around the time I came back (around a week and an half ago) my chameleon has remained dark and dull colors with white spots on her back. I’m...

Hello! I'm new to this platform and dealing with chameleons overall, been trying to decide what kind to get, because from most people I've heard to get a veiled, but I've also heard they are a bit more aggressive then other kinds, I'm getting a chameleon in two weeks, (I'm doing a lot of...

Hi. It would be a good idea to take him to a vet who has experience with chameleons, who could evaluate if he needs any special supplements. Often vets will give animals with mbd some supplement injections to get them started and then a special liquid calcium to help get them on track. I’m...

Hi and welcome. Honestly I’ve no idea what those lumps are and your best course of action is a vet visit asap. Adding the list of chameleon-experienced vets for you. You may need to travel a bit for a good vet. Also, you say “he”, but it looks like you have a she. I would like to see some pics...
