Please see my responses below in bold: Your Chameleon – I have a newly purchased female Veiled Chameleon. I estimate her age at 6-8 weeks. She’s about 3” long not including tail. She arrived overnight UPS two days ago. Where did you get her from, if you don't mind my asking Handling – I’ve...

Thank you for suggestions! I am currently researching better quality feeders (and softer, moister ones that will be easier to pass). I was using flukers before but wasnt thrilled. Does anyone have suggestions for a subscription delivery service that has variety? I've also thought about...

If he panics and runs off of anything you put there like a plant (some do..) you can use a medium critter keeper with a top; zero it out with the top on, then pop the cham in just for a moment to get the reading. Most animals don't panic as long as they can see out of the "box". You can even...

Any updates??! I’d love to see a prototype or even a drawing of what you’ve worked out!

Thank you for taking the time and providing such a detailed reply. You have helped a new keeper immensely!! In answer to your question: I'll hold off for now on stating where it was purchased in case there are issues. I don't want to give a false bad rap. She was well packaged and...

No worries!! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to help me with this. I will look into the new attachments for the cage to better attach her vines. She does have a pothos and she likes it, but since I think the money tree is so bigger she focuses on it more. I will be...

To clarify not the movie style color change a overtime color change, my chameleon has been in my care since 2019 and has completely and utterly transformed his colors he used to be a blue and green blend of colors and over time has become almost solid red. Aside from time passing I did redo his...

I’ll be putting my feedback in bold. Jojo is a one year old chameleon. I was actually two times at vet's with him. One day it was due to his casque was burnt and part of it just fell off as he scratched it on the mesh of his old tank. Ok, so this is the black area on his casque. Did the vet...

I say try it out! Sounds like it would be awesome ! I used socks available through the biodiesel industry on my saltwater tank. All different micron sizes available, I used 10 micron and 5 micron to catch the particulates from using lanthanum chloride (phosphate reduction) and to run the carbon...

Ever wonder how animals adapt to the lack of water in the scorching desert? While some animals have developed ways of extracting water from the food they eat, or reducing water lost through evaporation, desert dwelling lizards don't drink water at all; they absorb it through their skin...

See my feedback in bold. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Male veiled chameleon.its about 1year and 8 months.I bought it in September 2020 Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? I handle him once a...

Here is my care sheet from the other post. Your Chameleon- The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? I think he is around 5 months old (No clue though), I have had him about a month. Handling- How often do you handle your chameleon? I have only handled...

NO. Chameleons shed like many/most other lizards—more (and more regular) when young, and in pieces later on. Yours is old enough that he may only shed 1-2 times per year, and it will likely be in sections—the whole lizard may not shed at once. Not something I'm familiar with. Chameleons are...

You would use a kitchen gram scale... Get either a stand or something he can rest on zero the scale out before you put him on it. Based on his size I would say your right at the 6-7 month range but again this is totally dependent on their genetics. What are you plans for reducing feeders? What...

Hibiscus need full sun, so either hang near the top, or get mondo plant lights a bat could see. :p Little tiny ones (which is how they went unnoticed). It was a while ago, so I can't remember if they were mealybugs or scales. They hid on the bottoms of the leaves, and left dirt I thought was...

Yeah I use a weigh stand that I bought from Tamura designs on Facebook with a kitchen gram scale. Put the weigh stand on it and then zero out the scale then add the cham to get an exact weight.

Thank you all! I had one with my one saltwater tank back in the day(came with it), but I never got around to setting it up lol. So here’s what my post is about: water features… originally I didn’t want to mention why I was asking because I don’t like to condone using them for most animals. This...

We currently use crickets, Dubia roaches and BSFL’s for our feeder insects. Never used super worms before. Are they similar to BSFL’s or do you need to dust them? Also, how would you rate them on a nutrition scale compared to others?

Thank you for all of this ! I have actually been trying to exact same thing with the waxworms ! I also do have a little camping chair right out front of his cage that I have been sitting in a lot to do homework. Since he has been on a little bit of a hunger strike I have laid off the waxworms to...
