I like Exo Terra's new sizes and I am very pleased with the over all quality of mine so far (the old Exo Terra screen cages were really flimsy but the new design is very nice). There is a 24 x 18 x 36 and a 36 x 18 x 36 which to me are very nice compromises giving more horizontal space for the...

I don't think this is funny but I generally don't like any videos of animals interacting with other animals because too often this gets viewed as something that is ok by people who don't know how to be responsible about it and regardless of the level of care you had someone else will think this...

You only get banned for offering free cuddles and baths if you're creepy... wait did read this right? In my opinion Facebook is conducive to sharing pictures and memes not so much for in depth information. If one is looking for a pithy conversation or more in depth information the forum...

I can't find where at the moment but I've read a few different people reporting this. Now that you know he will drink out of it be extra diligent in keeping it clean like brownie suggested. This is just one of those things that shows there is an exception to every rule.

Well it looks like a prolapse and assuming there isn't anything else wrong it shouldn't be insanely expensive, ie hundreds and not thousands of dollars.I can't know what an individual vet would change but if it would be more than 200 I would probably euthanize (which should be less than 100)...

Vet ASAP. I had 2 different africanus do something that looked very similar both died later in the day. I still regret not being able to get to a vet in time I don't know if it would have made a difference but if you don't at least try there is very little chance of survival.

Is this a trick of the camera or do his legs look like they have extra joints / bendy looking? If yes I would recommend a vet check up and advice at a qualified herp vet. I could be wrong but this chameleon does not look healthy to me.

I personally think setting each leg in a little bucket of water is messy and pain in the behind. I personally don't want stagnant water in my house. A better physical barrier alternative is duct tape sticky side out around the table legs. Easier to change out when it gets nasty without having to...

Do not use the ant traps around your chams. They say very specifically not to use in a food preparation area which I take to mean not to use around my Chameleons. Basically they will be hauling poison into your enclosure. Orange guard is awesome. I use it all the time and have never had a...

I'm not entirely convinced your vet is competent. Can you follow the instructions here to ask for help?: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/ I suspect the community here may notice issues and a picture or two would be very helpful...

If you're not breeding and are just looking for a pretty chameleon you can very often find great deals on mixed locales. In my opinion you're making the right decision. Get what you really want!

Thank you Duma! There was a crazy "emergency" this morning with my little group. I turned on the lights to mist and feed before I went to work and what did I find but the entire cage covered in ants! I'm not positive if these particular ants are dangerous but I am certain there is no way being...

This is true, BUT, if you actually pick up the phone and call to talk to them I'm sure someone there can pick out a male for you. Granted it wouldn't be 100% but at least it would 100% be the species you're looking for. Either way that is a good deal but not unique so don't panic if you're not...

If someone HAS to ask for this advise I would give advice similar to purchasing any Chameleon from anywhere for a beginner, if you know what you are doing all the below is null and void. My check list in order of importance below: Step 1: Confirm Captive bred and born. If answer is "Long Term...

I just spent 2 minutes looking and found panthers for sale at $150 and it isn't uncommon to find babies between $100 - $200. Remember this is a live animal with a 5 plus year commitment, a good adult set up done inexpensively will be at least $200. To me the math just doesn't work out to...

Just a little update, I'll have pics later this week. All 5 are doing well, feeding well, drinking a lot and acclimating. The biggest one is starting to show a little aggression, she will get her own house next week or sooner if anyone starts showing stress colors. So far nobody is really...

This is a good point. I don't think anyone is advocating that vertebrates would make a good staple feeder. Rather an occasional supplemental feeder that could (possibly) provide trace elements / minerals that are either not provided, or not easy to absorb in the methods we currently use. As...

This is a VERY important point that in my opinion is often overlooked. Without extensive research (that our house vet gave a good indication of how these studies work above) conclusive evidence will continue to be lacking. Success or failure by a small group does not give us anything more than...

I didn't think it was possible but this thread got even weirder. This is why we can't have adult discussions. How very sad.

Ha ha page 3 veterinarian and experienced keeper input and the consensus seems to be: We don't really know but we're not going to try because there is a chance it could be dangerous. Fair enough. I would be interested to hear more from those who actually HAVE fed vertebrates regularly but I...
