I drive a little over 2 hours with my guy for the vet. Like missskittles said, in a box and he sleeps the whole time. Does just fine!

i’ll do my best to get him in, but it’s hard traveling to work and the vet in the same day. i’ve never been so worried, do you think he’ll have a chance at recovery at all? i’ll do my best to get him in as soon as possible

That is incredible. I may do the same at some point just so I have it just in case.

So happy to see he's still going strong and healthy. The traveling chameleon. So precious!

Thanks so much! If tomorrow doesn't go well, I will have to do that, it's a 4 hour drive 1 way, would a chameleon be good to travel that long?

You may have to travel some but I'd call around looking for a exotics vet, ask specifically if they work with chameleons. Seeing your enclosure photo I'd put a divider between the two so they can't see each other. Corrugated plastic, shower curtain or even a black trash bag will work.

Hi. Oh dear. Poor guy. I’m not sure which issue to address first. He needs a good vet asap. What is your general location? We have a list of good vets with chameleon experience, but you may need to travel a little. The butt bump I suspect is probably built up shed and hemipenes plugs. It would...

Hi. :) Chameleons don’t like so much change - it stresses them out. Amongst the parasites, pinworms comparitively are basically a walk in the park on a beautiful day. After giving the medication, you really only need to do one good enclosure cleaning - two if you’re so inclined. Then just...

I am the new recent owner of a male veiled Chameleon, Mr. Chameleonaire. He was purchased from Petco/petsmart 100 miles away by two people with substance abuse issues, and was in their possession for about a week before I came across him. They had no lights, bugs, or enclosure for the poor guy...

Hi. :) I can offer some feedback. At a quick glance, everything looks good. However, looking closer I can see some things that need to be changed, improved and questioned. First is the enclosure size. For an adult chameleon, this is going to be too small. The standard minimum is 2x2x4’ or...

It's a Cat bag I altered for Chameleon car travel. 🤣. I can keep him safe by using the seat belt.

It is normal for most people to have to travel to get to an exotic vet, you can find your nearest one in an unlikely emergency situation by obviously searching the internet and making some calls. Make an informed decision on the vet you choose some aren’t as qualified as others. (nearest vet for...

What about uvb? Also a multivitamin? Your basking temp is fine and you don’t need a stronger bulb right now. My suggestions are to check out either https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/ or Neptune the Chameleon on YouTube for husbandry basics...

Hi. Looking at your husbandry, nothing is jumping out and it looks good to me. Maybe someone else will see something that my eyes have missed. I do have some questions and suggestions though. What strength is your uvb? What brand is it? how old is the bulb? What is the schedule for your lights...

thank you so so much. i had no idea that waterfalls were bad for my chameleons. i thought that they were fine at least, that’s what i was told. i feel like a terrible mamma. i’m going to see if the hot spring one is open today if so i’m taking her today. i will also get the supplements you...

Im so sorry for the misunderstanding, I mean WITHOUT D3, so he is getting a little sprinkle of calcium with no D3, and once per month the reptivite wit D3. The other thing is the ice cubes, so I got 2 fans on the top of the cage, one getting fresh air to the inside of the cage and the other...

Hi! early in june my baby ambilobe panther passed due to terminal illness but i recently got a nosey faly panther to help with the grieving process. He is 6 months old and loves to eat! when we got him he was about 65 grams and now hes 85! he has been with me for about 3 weeks. We are driving to...

I just took the lucky bean plant out and replaced it🙃 jalapeno seems happy, and I made sure to put in plants he could eat if he really wanted lol

Hi and welcome. :) There can be a few different reasons for her to be traveling to the bottom of her enclosure, of which eggs is only one. Since there’s so very much bad information out there about keeping chameleons, I think it would be super great if we did a husbandry review - copy/paste...

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately the place he tends to poo the most is near his favorite sleeping plant. Lol. But I will look at rearranging and adding some branches. I don't have the space to do a double unless I move the entire enclosure, but it's definitely worth considering.
