I feel you. I worry about taking my Chams to the vet because it’s such a stressful experience for them. One thing that might be helpful is changing your ‘travel’ enclosure for her. Chameleons get more stressed when they can see and there is a lot of movement around. I’ll show you what I use...

Just my baby is 6 months old why r they saying 10.0 for veild chameleons ? I'm just going to get the 24inch 5.0 for now and if later I need the 10.0 I'll get the 10.0 I'm done worrying about this

I do see several changes that will need to be made. General Information Name: Iggy Age: 3-5 months Looks about right Sex: male? Yes. Males have the vertical bars of color, like Iggy does. If you look at his back feet, you’ll also see he has these protruding nubs, called tarsal spurs that...

Hello Chameleon Friends! I purchased a male Jacksons from Frank Payne and he arrived early yesterday morning. I am not sure what I am going to name him yet. I like Bilbo Baggins and my daughter likes Igor. Thoughts? I am following the care guide from the Chameleon Academy for a Jacksons, he...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? His cage is glass with a screen top it is 3.5x4x3 and is a bio active enclosure Unusual to find a glass enclosure so large…at least here across the pond. Lighting - What brand, model, and types of...

Thak you! I will do that. Just to be clear, “cfl light” is the uv bulb, not the heating bulb, righti Thank you so much for your time and your elaborate answer! I’m starting to gahter all the things that you mentioned to make his life easier, and will start building a bigger enclosure. Thank you...

Good luck! I'd bring the following: 1. Travel container for your cham with stick and towel inside. 2. Recent fecal for testing. If you find some the day before, put it in a plastic baggie & refrigerate it. 3. Picture of your enclosure. 4. Detailed list of your care and husbandry. 5. List of...

Hi and welcome! :) That looks and sounds like you’re most definitely on the right track. I do have some feedback for you. You really need more distance between the basking light and where your chameleon can get to. At the current distance it looks like he is at high risk for getting burned. If...

Hello Everyone!!! Yesterday, I was surprised with a Veiled Chameleon, and I would like to share her with you all!! 🦎 Daffie is an adult female Veiled Chameleon. The breeders are pretty sure she is around 1 1/2 years old or so. She looks healthy, she's been eating, urinating, and basking, but I...

Hi and welcome. :) The whole egg laying process is sooo nerve wracking, but our sweet ladies know what to do. When I know the time is close, I hang a light sheet over the lower half of the enclosure so she’ll have privacy. If she isn’t in her basking area, I’ll listen carefully for a few minutes...

Hi and welcome. :) Just an fyi - this thread is nine years old. That’s ok though…resurrecting old thread isn’t that uncommon. I haven’t read thru this thread, but I can say that the material of the enclosure you use, whether it be glass, screen or hybrid, should depend on the environmental...

Here’s how I travel with my chameleons.

Hi. Your uvb is a bit too far away for your guy to be getting optimal levels. It should be around 20 cm between basking branch and uvb. I understand and appreciate why you have one end of the uvb elevated, but I would keep it flat on top of the enclosure and by having the basking branches at...

Hello, I am here in Navarre, FL for a vacation. My chameleon, Abbas, wiggled out of a crack in his travel cage outside this morning between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM. There are a few trees next to the house, some Chinese tallow and pine trees with vines on the trees. He is a piebald adult veiled...

Hi and welcome. You’ve gotten some great advice already. To expand on that, your chameleon looks younger than 4-6 months…or is a girl. Boys have very prominent nubs sticking out from the backs of their back feet. My guess would be maybe 3 months. He’s very thin and not getting enough to eat. He...

Hi guys! I posted 2 months ago about Sergio and his issue with one of his eyes. I'd like to share our story with vets and about his illness, also I have a question at the end. 2 months ago I noticed that some kind of jelly-ish thing was in front of his right eye. Now I know, it was a drop of...

Ok, you said she was from petco... They tend to use the wrong supplementation with chams. With eyes like your girls this could be due to incorrect supplementation but it could also be due to an infection. So I would recommend getting her scheduled to see a good reptile vet to get a fecal...

Took it out caught him or her eating a tiny damn leaf . And placed a order for the 24 inch 5.0 light. This has been the most stressful . I've had reef tanks but nothing like this lol they took the other guy back when I took him to the petco vet for eye issues so I went to a reptile store and...

Here’s an update on our epic adventure to see Green Giant Parson’s in the wild. Just a little info on what it took to actually see these chameleons in their natural habitat. It took 27 hours of travel from California to reach Antananarivo which is the capital of Madagascar. Then about a 1 1/2...

Yes just pissed as all he'll, luckily not gravid. Aunt in law is a Cham pro with gravids so luckily she'll be able to help with that rodeo. Only ever had males before because I don't like dealing with the eggs lol. Good to know about the calcium, I'll be switching. It was a sample bottle we got...
