Usually, chameleons aren't good with hands. After a while, they will back off and feel less comfortable around you. My chameleon is 8 months and i only handle him if I'm cleaning the cage or checking his skin. If you're looking for a friendly animal a chameleon isn't going to be your best...
I only feed him super worms and crickets never mealworms. How will i know if he is safe? How do i know if he is dying? i need some help right now not advice.
I was just about to clean up the cage because it was a little dirty and i found this. He ate 3 worms yesterday and it looks like he didn't digest them well. Is this a sign of something bad?!?!? I need emergency help. I don't know what happened. I will call the vet as well. Please responds as...
Thanks so much for the supplies. This started a couple weeks ago and i havent handled him for almost a month. I was told that i am not supposed to handle the chameleon unless its for medical reasons or i need to clean the reptarium. Since i got him 4 months ago i only handled him less that 8...
I have an 8 month old veiled. He has a varied diet of crickets and worms. I got him only 4 months ago. After 4 months of extreme social activity, my chameleon's happiness dropped. He is always stressed and always on the lookout. I want to do my best to make my chameleon feel safe and healthy. I...
Thanks so much for the help guys! Washing my hands helped alot. I always wash before i handle but not usually afterwords (which is dumb). Thanks for all the help. Great community *thumbs up*
I have a 7 month old veilled. His diet contains mostly crickets. I am allergic to most species of roaches but i have never fed my cham any species as i stuck to the worm family and to crickets. I handle my chameleon once or twice a month at most to either give the chameleon a check to make sure...
He seems to keep sleeping in a very deep sleep. I am a little concered for his health. The cage has alot of leaves and i ordered more just now. I ordered more vines and more places for him to crawl about. I am warming up the house right now and moving him into a better more (leafy) enviroment...
Hello, i have a new addition in my family. It's a Jackson chameleon who just got his/her horns in. The pet store said 4-5 months but i disagree to the full extent. This little guy seems to be very shy at the moment. Some of my questions are:
How is old is he?:
The pet store said 4-5 months but...
I, unfortunately, get crickets from Petco or Petsmart because i cant afford to drive to the nearest amazing pet store which is a little more than 40 miles away. I can't breed crickets or other animals because i am home very little during the day. I ask for my crickets small because my chameleon...
I actually had to remove some foliage that was poking out of the back of his terrarium and i reached my hand in a circular path that he loves to move around in and i stabbed my hand on this branch. I supposed it was the one that snagged him and i cut it off. Thanks for the tips his skin is...
My chameleon seemed to have received a small cut on his side. Less than a millimeter long it looks like a pointy branch caught him by surprise. Is there anything i should do to prevent infection or clean the wound. So far i have left it alone as i don't know at what level the pain is causing my...
The bulge in his stomach went away but i want to make sure the cricket will "process" correctly and not hurt him. I have a sprayer that sprays the leaves and a small dripper so i hope that will help
I have a 6.5-month-old veiled chameleon. He eats a normal diet. I just went to get him more crickets and one of them was huge when i poured his meal in the enclosure. I kept trying to find it but i couldn't! I usually feed him small crickets but this one seemed to be an inch!!! I never found it...
