Awesome! Thank you so much this makes me feel so much better! Just to touch on your questions, the green thing at the bottom is a gardening matt. lol It's a smooth tarp that has buttons on the corners that snap up to create a working area where dirt can stay in place. It fit almost perfectly on...

The 10.0 uvb is too strong, but I’m not going to get into that right now as I don’t see that as the cause of your current problem. Has your chameleon ever been tested for parasites? I agree with @kinyonga that a vet visit is needed and sooner rather than later. Here are the questions to review...

Made a mistake, I use the rephasy calcium pus lod. What other feeders could I use instead of crickets?

Hi everyone! My husband got a super sudden job promotion across the country. I am in Atlanta with my panther chameleon and we would be moving to New York. I am sort of at a weird spot because 1) is it too stressful of a move to take my chameleon with me and 2) is NY even really the right place...

I had no idea! That thread it adorable and eases my worries of something being seriously wrong. I’ll still keep an eye out though. I didn’t expect this pigmentation (if that’s what it is) to show up so sudden. Loll, it’s so fascinating to watch them try to squeeze their way out of a corner...

This is one of the most intelligent things that I’ve read in the chameleon community in a long time. I’ve thought about this a bunch and totally agree with what you’re saying here Micheal. I think it’s important to think about the trends in chameleon husbandry and how they would actually...

Hi there! I'm curious what do you, Chameleon owners do if you plan a travel? Not like, moving to another place in term of living, but in term of week-2 week vacations. Currently I avoid that long adventures as the only people I can count on with taking care of my JoJo are the parents, who, to...

You need to provide for all of their needs, such as correct uvb, basking temperatures, humidity levels, safe live plants, plenty of space to move around and lots of branches to travel on. Placing the enclosure so the chameleon is able to look down on the world makes it feel safer. Then you need...

Dr Greek is about 30 min maybe 45 with no traffic. Definitely doable

Aww…baby! 🤗 The bright colors he had were likely from stress. To be so dark as in the pic, he may be trying to better absorb uvb or heat. @elizaann2 beat me to advising a cooler basking temp. Have you seen him in his basking area? He might still be too shy to be in the open to bask and so is...

This is exactly why I think Petr’s approach is sound. Substantive discussions with real albeit observational data comes along with some hard data as well I don’t give a rats distant end about being right or wrong. I want what he wants. Healthy animals. I don’t have a Cham in the game right now...

Thank you, everything here is very informative.

Arent these just pop up laundry hampers with a lizard on the box? https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/traveling-with-chameleons.733/

Hi and welcome. :) Your big guy looks to have something trapped deep in his eye. It could also be related to his sinuses and the concern is always for infection. Only a vet can do a deep flush of the eye and investigate what is going on. Not all exotics vets are experienced with chameleons and...

You definitely want to start reducing your cutie’s diet. I like to do things like that gradually. So, if you’ve been giving her say 12 feeders daily, bring her down to 10 daily for a week or so…then 8 and when you get to 6 feeders, go from daily to every other day. She’s still got some growing...

Yikes! Many of us have to travel a bit for good vets. Your guy really does need to be seen by a vet. Not just to get a better topical, like silver sulfadiazine, but he may need oral antibiotics too. You’ll need to make some improvements to prevent him from getting burned again. Your enclosure...

Where? Am I blind? lol 😂 I did miss the dome light fixtures in the pics. I do need to correct you… **If using the T8 fixture that you show for uvb, the strength of the uvb bulb needs to be 10.0 or Arcadia 12%. However, since the T8 is only 18”, getting the 24” T5 would provide better coverage...

Hello! Attached you will find our vet list :)

Hmmm I think I see faint receptive colors, my biggest worry is she is looking for a place to lay eggs. veiled chameleons can lay eggs without a male. do you have a laybox for her?

Oh I love Dav!!! I saw the Madagascar episodes too. Those were good! Have you seen ones where Dav travels with Adam Wicken? Love those two together.
