a precaution on phoenix worms.. not every chameleon will like them. They can be hard to digest as well. So, don't buy too many phoenix worms. Butter worms are good feeders. They are high in fats, but in your case, it should be fine. Butterworms come irradiated to kill bacterias and parasites...

Ahh, that is right.. Butterworms can be great addition as well.

LOL.. sorry, I thought you are from Birmingham, Alabama :D:D:D Hornworms is a pest and illegal in England. Try silkworms, superworms, and occasional waxworms.

Ok, got the article. It is written by Susan Donoghue D.V.M. Here is the link: http://www.chameleonnews.com/02SepDonoghue.html I believe this will help you, Petkel. Try hornworms first if you can. I prefer hornworms than waxworms. Just make sure you get the hornworms from commercial feeder...

So, you are thinking along the line of blended insects or some sort of a bug juice (yum yum :))? Normally, chameleon has no interest at all in eating anything that isn't moving. So, to make it drink the bug juice, we would literally have to force feed the chameleon. Force feeding is incredibly...

Depending on what do you mean by an easy to digest diet. Can you specify a bit more on that?

As soon as possible separate the two. The one you have in the picture seems emaciated. The possible reason could be the one Miss Lily suggested. The bigger cham probably got all the food and the water.

that bump on the upper area of her front left limb is worrisome imho.. Anyone else notice it?

Petkel, just as a general overview, your chameleon is on the thin side. A healthy chameleon should have a plumper casque. Do you mind filling out the help form as far as your husbandry goes? I could not see a blue line you are talking about.. Perhaps, a clearer picture would help everyone here...

ok. Sounds clear to me. :o:o

For herpvet in the state CA, check this link: http://www.herpvetconnection.com/calif.shtml I don't believe chameleon can catch a cold; but, they can catch an infection (Please anyone correct me if i am wrong, or if this is just a semantic situation -"cold" vs "respiratory Infection"-)...

Nice tips. Having a cage there might relaxed him a bit. and Joe... where are my mulberry leaves?! LOL jk, dude :D:D:D:D:D

I would recommend not doing it unless it's necessary. moving him in and out of his cage surely put some sort of stress on him.

If the "red thing" went back in, I wouldn't worry much about it. The red thing you are talking about is his hemipenis. Once in a while, they can come out.. but, as long as it went right back in, then you are fine. When it keeps hanging out and cannot get back in, then it's a prolapse. The...

by like, do you mean they close their eyes and colored up? A stress coloration does not always mean that the chameleons turned dark and black. Plus, the shower method is not something that I would do even occasionally. It is a therapy to remedy a situation when normal misting and normal...

Leahryan, reserve the showering method when you absolutely believe that the hydration benefit will outweigh the stress you will implement to the chameleon by putting him in a shower. In other words, showering can be a very stressful event to your chameleon. So, if it ain't necessary, I...

I am not familiar with this bug. Are you talking about mites?

Is that really happened? or are you just kidding? :eek::eek: As far as I know, Feltiae is host specific and is designed to attack insects (gnats, caterpillar, ants, etc). It shouldn't cause any problem to your wife. However, i am not sure where you purchased your feltiae. As I have mentioned...

Look at what I found in my EMPTY pygmies enclosure. I was about to clean the enclosure and put it outside to clear the space. But, just when I was about to disassemble everything. I found six of these little buggers ;).

for WC, commonly, they will have some sort of parasite. So, just be aware of that and plan accordingly. as far as cheap digital scale, I suggest finding one at the kitchen department in stores...
