Day time is good, but at night since your temps aren’t below at least 68F, you don’t want to boost your humidity. While it is ideal to do so at night, not all of us can achieve low enough temps to do so without risking causing respiratory infection. I’m in Florida and it just isn’t possible for...

They gave me a saline solution for the nebulizer and to do it tonight, I just put it into his travel cage with him so he breathes it in. The vet does specialize in exotic animals and she does have a chameleon herself as well, so I think she’s good? I got a good recommendation for her from a two...

So cool! It sounds beautiful. I heard somewhere that pothos are actually considered invasive in the wild. Did you have issues with your chameleon finding food? Or just with them hiding?

Yes, there is a black cloth divider between them. a little light gets through but the male cant really make out the female.

Hello to all my fabulous chameleon friends. I FINALLY got my Govee sensors hooked up to my WiFi (it only took me like 3 weeks lol), and now I would like to get some smart plugs so I can turn things off and on while traveling or out. What Govee smart plugs does everyone use? I see there are...

I did forget to add the gutload portion, I have blended up a mix of stuff and had frozen them into cubes. Along with these cubes I have a dry gut load that I also offer them. My sister was rolling her eyes at me hearing me explain my plans for him but I know in my heart that he deserves it.

Possibly sick?? Advise I’m going to start with the problem. I’m leave most of the day. I leave crickets on cage and most of them I think just die in cage. I don’t know if they could be hidden anywhere. Cham been with me about 3 weeks. First 2 weeks he was hunting. Now he just tries to scape...

Hello thank you for all of this. I will remove the drip water fall thing its crazy big anyways. I do spray his cage till it is dripping wet twice a day and i have some pothos that i was going to be adding to his enclosure and wandering jew once its rooted to add. The soonest vet i could find in...

Food is always a great motivator and reinforcer. I try to hand feed my chameleons whenever I have a feeder that I don’t mind touching (usually just silkworms). Having your chameleon’s enclosure up higher so that they can actually be above you helps them feel secure, as does having lots of plants...

Hi, I don’t know if I am the type of expert or person to answer these things, but yeah. I’ve been trying to hand feed my Cham and these are some tips for hand feeding. He’s starting to warm up and take food while I’m looking at him. I’m not sure if they’re included in the guide somebody sent...

Attached you’ll find my ‘vet boxes’. On the bottom I have some clean cloths, a stick that will keep them above the bottom of the box, but not so high up that they can hurt themselves if they fall and then I use a probe thermometer to help me keep track of the temperate of the inside of the box...

You want to create a forest edge in your enclosure. You want lots of branches and vines to provide lots of little chameleon roads to travel on, patrol his enclosure (an adult male thing) and exercise. I like real branches. Avoid ones from trees with heavy odors or saps, like pines, eucalyptus...

Hi and welcome. I have to add my agreement that your guy needs to be seen by a good vet asap. He’s got several issues that if nothing else, look like they would be painful. Sadly, exotics vets for reptiles are few and far between and ones with good experience with chameleons are even rarer. Many...

Hi and welcome. :) You’ve already gotten some great feedback. I just want to add a bit more and warning that I talk a lot. First, showers are not at all good for chameleons. Besides causing much stress, even what we perceive as lukewarm, can be scalding hot to a chameleon. Instead, do as...

Hi and welcome. :) So the very first and one of the most important things you need to know, is that each chameleon needs to be kept in it’s own seperate enclosure and not even be able to see any of the others. The majority of reptiles are loners and it is not only very stressful for them to be...

He’s a cutie! It looks like he’s able to get too close to the lights. If your uvb is sitting directly on top of the screen, that could irritate his eyes. I don’t see anything unusual about on/about him to explain why he’s scratching, like stuck shed. My alarm bell went off when you said he was...

Ok. Your supplements are ok. It would be better to use the Repashy calcium Plus LoD - the one with the Jackson’s chameleon on the label. But my concern was that she was getting a source of D3 and calcium on a good schedule, and she is. I do see that there are some improvements that she would...

It won’t let me attach the pictures because it says the files are too large, so I added them in a google doc. This is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1--ncHVu8HXusdfObPhzBoJ6KebZ3S0RPykYqFlo1hZU/edit

Please keep in mind who I am. I am still very new at all of this. However, my immediate thought is: stay away from anything related to bees from the wild. My reasoning here is that it is widely believed (and almost impossible to not be true), that issues with bee populations have been due...

I’ve had the good fortune to travel to Madagascar several times to specifically see chameleons in their natural habitats. I’ve come to the conclusion that chameleons will eat just about any insect that comes into range. There are tons of grasshoppers, leafhoppers, crickets, katydids, moths...
