Update: The past couple days he has been getting slightly more active so I think he is definitely feeling better. But today he pooped and his urate had a fair amount of orange in it and there was also a partially undigested wax worm with it. Is feeding him a wax worm or two a day too much maybe...

Side note: He is currently basking under his jungle dawn grow light and it is cooled by a tiny fan so there is a little bit of air blowing out of it. Could he maybe be closing his eyes so they don't dry out?

Yeah mine pretends like he's being sprayed by acid

Okay so its only been a few hours since I started this thread and I looked over at him and his right eye was moving around just fine but his left eye was closed!! I know that's not good but is it as serious as when they have both eyes closed during the day? Also as soon as I made a tiny noise...

Hey everyone! So for the past 2 or 3 weeks Winston has been doing a lot of hard blinks (the thing that chams do to clean their eyes during misting sessions) but he only does it when he is NOT being misted and won't do it while he is being misted. I am worried there is something wrong with his...

I wish I could like this about 5 more times! Seriously do tons of research before you buy ANYTHING and make sure its the best way/best piece of equipment because I have wasted lots and lots of money from not researching enough before buying. Also another thing to keep in mind is that even if you...

Haha I love how you have to say coffee/cocoa since we live in utah but yeah for sure and the same goes for you if you're in cache valley!

Yeah research for sure! Glass enclosures are sometimes the way to go but unfortunately everyone thinks that glass is evil for chameleons lol it all just depends on where you're at

Ayyyyy haha a fellow Utah chameleon friend! I'm up in Logan but our climates are probably pretty similar!

Hi Dan! First of all I live in northern Utah so I feel your pain when it comes to location haha but it can definitely be done. I recommend listening to the chameleon breeder podcast if you haven't been already. You will find loads of good info in there.

Yeah mines not bolted down either and it doesn’t rattle so you’d be good with setting it up however you think looks best

Hey guys the plants in my cage aren’t getting enough light so do you think I could replace the jungledawn bulb with just a standard LED bulb that gives off very little to no heat or should I just completely remove the grow light? I want my plants to look good but I also want winston to be happy haha

Thanks for the advice! But the light that isn’t in the corner is actually a jungle dawn grow light for the plants in his cage. It does give off some heat but not as much as his actual basking light. Maybe I’ll try to take it out for a few days and see if he’s happier

Hi all! So lately Winston has been spending more and more time climbing on the screen walls and screen ceiling of his cage. I'm pretty sure its because he wants to get out and explore but unfortunately I don't speak chameleon so I can't say for sure. He has never let me handle him but I have...

On amazon, it’s called reed fencing. Just be careful tho because mine has much bigger gaps in between each stick than the one in the picture

Okay so I’m trying to get him into a branch but he is just clamping down onto the sticks on the outside perimeter of my cage! I’m worried if I pry him off it will hurt him so what should I do? Every time I bring my hand or the branch close to him he gets super pissed

Okay thank you for the responses! So how do I know when it’s time to put him back?

Hey guys! So I left the cage door open for Winston so that he could climb onto his ficus tree but instead of climbing on his tree he has just been climbing on the outer walls of his cage for the past 4 hours. Is there any chance he maybe can't figure out how to get back inside or something? I...

Does anyone know??

Alright so I've been searching around and I can't seem to find a straight & clear answer to this. About a month ago I bought some Phillips Daylight Deluxe 60w 860 lumens 6500k lights to help my umbrella plant in my chams cage grow. It's working great but the bulbs only came in packs of 4 so now...
