I've got an 8' x 4' enclosure that sits on top of a 70 gallon freshwater aquarium. The upper portion houses 20 green anoles, the aquarium houses African butterfly fish that eat any crickets/feeders that fall in, and plenty of Amano shrimp. There are dozens of sticks and vines hanging in the...

I've got a few females that worry me from time to time. They'll pace their enclosure for a week, then pace the large laying bin for a few days, then lay, all while not eating and barely drinking. I've never had a female not lay though but it is still stressful every time. If she feels safe...

My apologies I must've misunderstood as well

You're taking the right steps to getting her back to normal and that's the main thing. The newest picture shows a definite bulge on her sides, and I'd say she is ready to lay. It's going to be difficult to tell but once she gets back to a regular temperature, she may start to dig. It may be...

Theveiled, please do not give information unless you are certain that it is correct. At 10 months, female Panthers and veiled chameleons should have already been put on their adult feeding schedule. They start to develop follicles (the beginning of eggs) as young as four months. The reason we...

Without a thermostat it's difficult to say. It's definitely something every reptile keeper should have before they get a reptile. If "they" are pet store workers, its a shame but more often than not, they have no idea about the husbandry of the animals they sell. What are the dimensions of...

Veild Cham owner, are you planning on getting a new enclosure as well? I've been following your posts and I know you just lost a dear pet, but please make sure you correct you husbandry issues before you get a new chameleon or it will happen again. You'll need a new screen enclosure, as the one...

Almost all of my chameleons will make their way to their respective "sleeping areas" about twenty minutes before the lights go out. They'll instinctively do this in nature as well. Nothing to worry about unless you catch him sleeping earlier in the day, or more frequently.

19 Celsius is perfect for nighttime but 30 Celsius is still too high of an ambient temp. It should be: 30 Celsius or 85 Fahrenheit under the basking light About 24C or 75f ambient temp And about 22C or 72f at the bottom Then it is good to have a drop to about 19C or 66f at night.

Please fill out the form from the link below so we can help you further. It sounds like your Cham could have a sever respitory infection. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

Check to see if the liquid calcium has any other additives in it such as d3. I would just use your powdered supplements anyway. It's odd because your supplement schedule seems correct, but he is definitely developing MBD. I'd also switch to the linear fluorescent as others have stated here...

You came here to get help and that's the best sign. Lower the temps and give her plenty of hydration and she should be fine. It's sad but many pet stores don't know the proper husbandry for the animals they keep. The only way to combat this is to buy from reputable breeders instead of the...

That means ambient temps are around 92 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. That's 20 degrees over the recommended temp. Your chameleon is cooking alive, yet another reason most educated Cham keepers prefer screen enclosures. Please familiarize yourself with the care sheets here and mimic them...

Lucky bamboo is considered toxic. I'd take it out of there.

If you only plan on feeding roaches once in a while, and you might try crickets, what are planning on feeding for a staple? Chameleons need a large variety of food items so you'll have to get comfortable with them if your pet is going to survive.

What are your temps in the enclosure? If she's overheating she could be trying to get to a cooler part of the terrarium.

Waxworms are not a good staple feeder. They should only be used as a treat maybe once a week due to the high fat content. Your chameleon needs a variety of well gutloaded feeders such as crickets, roaches, locusts, superworms, hornworms, silk worms etc. As for the reptivite, as long as it is...

Making sure he's getting proper basking and ambient temps is step one. Supplement schedule is next. Should be calcium without d3 every feeding, calcium with d3 every two weeks, multivitamin every two weeks. He should be eating MUCH more than what you're giving him. 10-15 small crickets every...

If you can control the exact amount they are ingesting I could imagine it working. However we all know that's not the case. They may miss an insect, or leave it long enough that the dust gets cleaned off. What is the proper dosage that a chameleon needs daily? How much are they synthesizing...

I would agree the main lesson to be learned here is to always properly research the animal, and have your enclosure up and running properly before you purchase. I hope your little guy pulls through and sorry to see you going through this. Please familiarize yourself with the caresheets on this...
