Your Chameleon - Rambo is a yemen chameleon, i didnt get told how old he was but i think around 2 months? got told hes a male and ive had him for around 2 weeks now. From the size of him and his casque, I’m not so sure he’s as old as 2 months. To verify his gender, look at his back feet. Males...

Hi again, so, I really would do that. I really want to. I just have a question, would the ice cubes melt? ( like do they freeze in water.) If so, I don’t really think that would work. The issue is if they melt. Like I said before, I keep my crickets outside on a porch. Every time I put veggies...

I picked up this female panther chameleon yesterday from a local pet store. She is currently being treated for a fungal infection on her face. The LPS said she has had this black spot under her mouth for a couple months, they treated with antibiotics and it got worse so they switched to...

I wanted to upgrade my cricket box so I could keep more and keep them alive longer. How many crickets is best to get at one time? Feeding for an adult chameleon. What should I include besides water and food? Would they like a substrate and moss or would that make it too hard to clean? I also...

To keep crickets healthy for your chameleon, start with a container that's big enough for them all. You can keep about 50 crickets at a time. They need food like vegetables or special cricket food and a water source. You can also add substrate and moss for them to hide and feel comfy, but keep...

I don’t bother with gutloading by the definition. Instead, I just keep my insects well fed at all times. I also have bearded dragons, so every day when I’m making their little salads, I’ll put aside some extra for the bugs. Then I make the rounds of my bug bins and give them fresh food and...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon. He's 2 years and 5 months old. I got him when he was about 7 months old. Handling - I handle him about three times a week. I never force him out of his cage, but will lure him out with a bug. Feeding - I was feeding him crickets and...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about my chameleon Gara and a problem he’s having with his left eye. I noticed something seems wrong with it, and I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to help him and figure out what might be causing it. I have noticed Gara rubbing his eye on...

Thanks again! I’ve spent hours here and at the academy and with Neptune before I took the plunge. There is just no “here is likely how your chameleon will spend the day” that I have found. He is in my office and I’m about 12 feet back from him at my desk so I watch all day. I took a crack at a...

Good morning, I recently got a new Juv. chameleon. He is roughly 6 inches long. I got him home last Saturday and he has only gone through maybe 8 crickets. I was hoping it was because he is adjusting but I don’t know how long to wait to be super concerned. He seemed better this morning and...

I do have a dish for her food, it’s a mini birdbath But it works great. It’s the little grey bowl on the right middle of the enclosure. I didn’t know crickets can bite her at night yikes 😱 but luckily it doesn’t happen all the time just if they jump when I’m trying to pour them in to the bowl...

I just got our boy on Sept 29,2025 from a cousin that bought him from a Petstore (PS) in March and they told her that he was a month or so old then. They sold her their Chameleon kit( shudder) and she had been feeding him crickets and Dudia’s on occasions. She wasn’t giving him vitamins or...

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, been hectic trying to sort out sofa situation but that's irrelevant, right I received my baby dubias and silkworms and she is finally eating, yesterday and today she ate about 20 dubias yesterday, and I put her food in her enclosure at 8am this morning, it's...

Hello everyone! My male veiled chameleon I’ve had for two weeks now only eats crickets, I have Dubia roaches and super worms in there as well. He will only stop by his dish and eat if there’s crickets in there, he won’t touch anything else. Should I just keep giving him crickets so he will at...

Sounds like you’ve got a good grasp on things so far. I’ll probably tell you things you might already know, so just smile and nod if you need to. 😂The minimum size enclosure for adult chameleons is 2x2x4’, so as long as you have that, it’s fine. I just like encouraging people to go larger if...

Thank you SO much! For the fly larvae when I put them in the container does it need soil or just like a moist paper towel?

One hornworm with that many hard bodied feeders would not produce runny fecal. Since he is a pet store baby you do want to get a fecal run to ensure he does not have a parasite load. He is too big for pin head crickets you want to kick over to smalls and nothing larger than a medium. I would...

I feel ya. I've tried to breed crickets a few times but I am just really doing something wrong somewhere...

Current Problem - I got a call yesterday and there are concerns about potential RSHP. His WBC came back more elevated with indicators of chronic inflammation. Phosphorus is 8.8 and Ca:p is 1:1. They are starting him on amphogel, meloxicam and pipperacillin. We will recheck blood in 2 weeks. He...

Keep your conditions optimum and he should be okay. LLL reptile I have got chameleons from in the past and for the most part not had problems. If your nerves are pasted the okay point you could once or twice a day hand water with a needless syringe and hand feed by pinching the heads of a...
