Chams are like chickens, they dont need fertilazation to lay eggs. Unfertilized eggs just wont hatch. Also the fertilization takes place begore the eggs are formed. Also if a cham is not ready to lay, they wont show any interest in a lay bin. When they get ready to lay the behavior changes...

Get a chameleon. You will never find another Danny. But there is a little guy or gal cham out there that needs you and your love and expertise. the personality will be completely different but that is what you want and its not dishonoring Danny, if fact, its actually honoring him and all that he...

Does the mini floresent give off heat,? Because you are going to need abasking light above his basking spot. Not sure the temps jacksons need but if you get one with a dimmer switch youcan get a 75 watt basking bulb then adjust the dimmer to get the temps right. you really should have gotten a...

Keep an eye on his vent. He may have a sperm plug. That can totally interfer with his bowel movements and urates. If he has one, it will peek out and go back in until it is too big. Then come out partially. At that point you can get a hypoclamp and pull it out slowly. is he constipated? I would...

Oh MissSkittles you are still reeling from losing your boys and now this. I totally believe you made the right decision in canceling that appointment. Did the three chamily pretty much grow old together? They may be more attached to each other than we understand. you know your sweet girl better...

Well its time to ignore him when you walk by his cage and when you feed him. Chams are curios. eventually he will understand you are not interested in hunting him. After six weeks of that, hen you can take him out once a week and handle him for very short periods. jusr remember, if he digs his...

Sending prayers your way Jann. Both babes healthy!

Hello and welcome. 4 mnth old cham needs small crickets. I use the cup method. Use the plastic clear cups cover the bottom and at least an inch of the bottom sides with gray or masking tape. ( tape to prevent cham from hitting cup on outside with tongue.. Do not use red cup!)Get a stck that is...

I use cornmeal for my crickets and add a bit of calcuim and vitamin power. Then fresh carrots, apples and any fresh cooking left overs off the vegs, herbs, salads.

So sorry to hear of the eye shed issue. If the shed is interferring with vision, the cham will get a bit more aggressive on getting it off by rubbing it against vines and sticks. You can see the increased chance of injury. Which is what i think may have happened to your cham. Now i have a...

Hi and welcome. I see you have a lot of great advice here so just a few points. First, when he molts, he may stop or reduce his eating and get grumpy and act weird. Since he is young and you are new to his world, you might want to keep a journal to see what gets repeated down the road. Second...

I think he has outgrown his cage! Needs a 24" x24" x48". Chams tuck themselves into the oddest place to sleep. Something that allows them a firm grip with some cover. Mine tries to squeeze into places that have branches above his head. If you are worried about it falling, secure it better. When...

You can put a cross dowel on top of your cage then hang plants from it using the heaviest fishing line you can find and a hook. That way you double up the line have it around the dowel (stick) thru the sreen and hang the plant on it.

Pics please

Eggs might be in the soil too so remove all top soil and replace with soil that hS no bark or pearlite.

Wow thats a pretty large lump. I hope its not an abcess (pus filled sack) Since the eye is being reactive also, i see no way around a vet visit. The antibiotics have not worked and now the eye is swelling. the lump needs to be aspirated to see whats in it. If it is an abcess, it can be drained...

Your guy is a handsome jackson! I know you are relieved. now you can cancel that vet appointment. Isnt this forum awesome!?! Maybe you can breed him with a female and just get the pick of the litter. The challenge would be finding a female Jackson owner near you, but its worth a try.

very good point. I also know by personal experience that calcium crystals causes psuedogout. Which is exactly the same as gout. The crystals get into the senovial fluid in the joints and causes the same reaction as uric acid crystals. Its also treated the same way. The kidney is responsble for...

Spaghetti got his meatballs back! Bravo! Bravo!

I am so so sorry to hear that Jack has passed. I truly believe that when the universe sends an animal to you that its never wrong and it is for the benefit of you both. You, without a doubt, gave him a wonderful home and he gave you the friend you needed. He is in your heart now and will be with...
