Chameleon Swimming
Out in the Magaliesburg mountain range, South Africa, from a simple beauty video, this turns into an amazing lucky find of a chameleon swimming across the water in the wild. Nature truly at its best.
Interesting. I never knew a chameleon could swim.
Many do not eat for the first day or two and then you may not see them but once a week if you are lucky. You will know they are eating when you start seeing little poops on leaves and such. Look for poops! Also, to centralize the fruit flies and make them easier targets for babies, try adding...
Yes, their care is identical to the other two jacksonii subspecies except that they eat less because they're smaller. They are also known as Mt. Meru Jackson's chameleons with the scientific name merumontanus. Do you have some already?

If the red light (or any light) is on at night (2 a.m.) then she won't be able to sleep or she may sleep but not soundly and that will cause her stress that could lead to health problems. If you add more vines/perches (and more leaves would be nice) higher up in the enclosure, she will have more...
I use white corrugated plastic between all of my enclosures (more than 30 of them!) It contains water, blocks my chameleons from seeing one another, is lightweight, brightens the enclosures because it is white, and is quite inexpensive and easy to cut to the desired size. It is just like...
Does your Veiled have a tarsal spur on the back of her back feet/heels? If she doesn't, it's a girl.
Click on this link and check out the Veiled chameleon care sheet here on Chameleon Forums. It has valuable information
regarding Veiled chameleons and baby veiled chameleons specifically...
Here is a link to a panther care sheet here on the Forums. It includes information specific to young panther chameleons like yours. You may find it helpful. Have you named your little guy yet?:)

I think he'll enjoy and feel safer with lots and lots more leaves and plants for him. I like all the vines and sticks you have for him to climb on. More leaves will allow him to have some privacy and also will allow him to peek out at you and get more used to having you around without him...
She needs 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. For example, 8:30 am - 8:30 pm lights on then 8:30 pm - 8:30 am lights off.

What did you (&/or your daughter) decide to name her?
Here is the ivy in my back yard. I am currently feeding it to my Indian Stick Bugs but have not fed any of my stick bugs to any of my chameleons. I am waiting for the next generation of bugs...which is probably about 6-8 months away.
If it is toxic, I will probably continue to feed it to the...
I knew that title would get your attention!:rolleyes:
Earlier this month, I received a long awaited shipment of baby Indian Walking Sticks from one of our CF members. The member had other species of walking sticks available but I chose to waiting until this variety of sticks was available...
WHY ARE THEY ALL SO WEIRD WHEN IT COMES TO SLEEPING POSITIONS!!!:eek::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:
I must confess. EVERY night I creep into my reptile room long after the lights have went out...just to check out their peculiar sleeping positions. It's hilarious. It's more entertaining than...
Nice picture! It's fun to watch them grow when they are young because there are are so many unexpected surprises in their appearance and behaviors from day to day.
As far as Wurma going to the bottom of the enclosure from time to time, you are right that he could be looking for a cooler spot...
