I keep other reptiles and in Geckos a smegma buildup is indicicative of a vitamin A deficiency. Is it the same thing for chams? I have read all over that is totally normal but what if we’ve missed something? What if it’s a deficiency?

First off your cham looks fantastic and in great health. Great job. Tell us more details about your supplements regiment. Multivitimins? D3 or not? How often? Can you post a photo of your entire enclosure? I would have the fecal matter tested for parasites. Any odd behavior or physical features...

Why don’t we start a wiki that members can edit? It would allow thorough care sheets for every species but so much more. It would be searchable. It would allow citing sources. The information would be easily linkable here on the forums, and we could direct new members to it easily. This is a...

You can train her to drink from a shot glass as well, which is very useful. Videos on YouTube.

Just from the photos he was incredibly dehydrated. Hurts to even look at that photo. You can’t leave a cham with a friend who doesnt care for chams and expect them to be alive when you return.

What is the temp of the basking branch where he was sitting and what species is your Cham?

Congratulations. Your patience is paying off. I doubt I would have waited months but I’m happy for you

They are asking, “Is it a bulb or a long tube?” Everyone here will recommend a T5HO bulb format. The compact bulbs that fit in incandescent type fixtures just don’t seem to be adequate for good chameleon health. The T5HO fixtures aren’t cheap though, like everything else with chameleons. Edit...

Please submit this beauty to the photo of the month contest

Welcome! Nice looking setup too, from the section we can see in the photo

That is some amazingly unique coloration! Keep the updates coming :)

Are these unfertilized?

You have my support. I don’t know why you got jumped all over about it the first time you visited. I think it’s a fantastic idea. The chameleons you chose are gorgeous. I encourage you to get on of some holdbacks from FLchams.com for ambilobe breeding. They also have stunning females. Most...

Appears female as well.

Yea try to get a return. Any respectable breeder would agree if they told you it was male and made an error.

So, no one else has answered so I’ll help you out. Chameleons are from windy regions and actually need some air movement to breathe properly. This is why chameleons in fully glass enclosures don’t live long. The lack of air flow combined with the heat of the lamps leads to bacterial growth and...

The only reason for substrate is to set up a bio active substrate. This is where you have bugs that earth the chameleon poop and it becomes fertilizer for the soil. Otherwise, the cage should have no substrate at all. This makes cleaning and drainage easy and prevents the possibility of you...

It took twenty years to get that much growth?? Sounds like it is not a viable option for me. Those Christ in the manger flowers look like something an artist would dream up on an alien planet. Stunning

So, in the wake of this loss it is time to grow stronger and be better for it. First off, start by reading all the guides and resources on this site. There are a lot and they will give you a solid foundation. Keep visiting the forums, researching, and learning. This isn’t the only resource out...
