The smallest amount I can get from say, coastal silkworms is 250 eggs. I figure this should probably be enough for my one chameleon. If all of those hatch, I'd say this amount would last a month. I've read that I should probably call in or email to ask for my eggs that I receive to be in...

My guy very recently had his fecals examinated and he tested positive for coccidia. My vet was reluctant to offer ponazuril as she supposedly had a cham die from It. I insisted on ponazuril instead of albon (which is what she originally came out with). It was interesting to hear an opposing...

It's great that you and your cham trust each other as you say, but it seems you have the inability to accept the fact that the chemicals in the water meant for human use Is probably not the best for a chameleom. It's amazing how they can swim, no doubt. However, it gives the wrong idea to many...

Update after Alby's FIRST vet visit Yesterday I brought my guy into the vet so he could be weighed and be given the proper amount of meds. The vet at first waned to prescribe albon but i insisted and asked about ponazuril (good thing I asked you guys first). I'm at work right now but I believe...

If I dont use plants, then what do I use? I always thought plants were important. And real ones seemed to be best but apparently they're no good. Id like to continue using real ones, but if they are a serious threat, then why were real plants ever an option for a cham enclosure?

Hi guys, I am going to be cleaning my chams cage as well as plants tomorrow to rid it of coccidia. I heard of peroxide being used, but what type exactly is best? For the plants, I was going to buy new pothos and ficus or schefflera, clean them up really well with dish soap, rinse them, and repot...

Junglefries: if what you say is true about 99% of plants having coccidia.... Do I really have to throw mine out? What if I wash them well and repot them? What if the ponazuril Does the trick and my cham is fine in the future as a result. It just seems to me that if there are already parasites...

I heard ponazuril is the way to go. I didn't bring my cham in because I didn't have time today but I will get him checked on Wednesday. What's the best way to transport a cham to a location 15 min or so away? I wonder how long my guy has had it :/ I've had him for almost a year and have never...

He has coccidia. When I measure his temp with heat gun under the lamps its 90 at the hottest spot. I've changed the height of the bulbs and such. I should note tha the goes down and usually stays down there after the 230 misting every day

Hi guys, I'm currently at the vets office for a fecal exam for my 15 month old guy. He didn't seem like he has been eating much, so I thought I'd get hIs poo checked. Maybe he just needs more variety In his diet. He goes to the bottom of his enclosure well before (up to 5 hours) lights out...

My guy goes down to his sleepy spot 3 or even 4 hours before lights out every day it seems like. It is kind of concerning to me as he also does not eat as many bugs as other chameleons typically do.

Ventilation probably helps. Just cut out the top and sides of cricket bin. Also, if you use a bulb to provide them with heat, that keeps them warm while at the same keeps things dry. It kind of drys out the food you give them Though (greens, carrots, fruits). I feel like I need to replace the...

Oh wups, so not jelly? What is the water soluble one called?

I've heard KY jelly is something good to have on hand to lubricate the hemipenes with.

i went on a road trip the past 2 weeks and left my mom in charge. I left a very detailed schedule for her to follow regarding food and watering. When I returned home peeve, I found a snotty, mild-like substance all on the side of the cage the humidifier was on. Turns out she only filled the...

Duly noted. I'll have to do some research. Just to clarify, This Repashy Cal+LoD is all a cham needs to live a happy life? Or would it be more beneficial to feed other supplements such as d3 and multivitamin? Junglefries: Thanks your input... you seem like a good guy (or gal?). Either way...

I'm definitely going to start trying to hatch out silkworms once I get back in town in a couple weeks (HOPEFULLY my mom keeps Alby in good shape). What's better, hornworm or silkworms, or does it depend on what the cham likes more? Honestly, my cham hasn't been eating too much lately, maybe 3...

Turnip greens... according to many others, and most previously by bushbaby (forum member). What do you mean by OKAY foods for crickets that won't transfer to the chameleon? Feed them greens and rotate these: turnip, mustard, escarole, endive, kale occasionally. At least those are all that have...

Hi guys, I couldn't seem to find a thread regarding this, although I'm sure it's somewhere around here. What should one do in the event that a chameleon is stubborn or isn't hungry the day that you are administering feeders dusted with a d3 or multivitamin supplement? My guy was only...
