    Replace those O-Rings (a lesson learned)

    Long short of it, I was looking for a new reservoir for my distilled thanks to another post I saw on here and brought one home that I wasn't sure would fit. I'd been keeping my 5 gallon paint bucket as my reservoir for years and years with no issues, but had always kept a small towel under it if...

    Mistking question

    I really gotta get one of those... I've been using the 5gal petco buckets for years, but having something that fits cleaner and I can SEE the water levels through would be a game changer

    Little Breakthrough with Ickis!

    Since I got Ickis at the end of October, he'd grown very weary and defensive over his new home and was not thrilled to see a hand coming anywhere near him even with food, and he proved his willingness to bite even when I was offering a tasty treat. So for a while I just put any attempts to get...

    Comment by 'jcarlsen' in 'Building Trust With Your Chameleon'

    Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out. My quickly growing panther, Ickis, is interesting. On the first day I had him, he ate right out of my hand, but in the weeks and couple months since I've gotten him he's gotten increasingly shy and defensive, often rotating away on the...

    Introducing Ickis!

    His pajamas are becoming even more orange/red! What a little fireball!

    Introducing Ickis!

    Almost forgot, his pajamas as of recent! I have a feeling he's gonna be a very bright beefy fella when he grows up.

    Introducing Ickis!

    Hello all! It's been a good while since I posted. I've taken a break since Cosmo passed away in August to grieve and get some life things in order, but all the while getting the cage stripped, sanitized and reassembled to house another chameleon. At the end of October I went and picked up this...

    Rest In Peace little guy 😭. You weren’t with me for that long but you were very rambunctious and handsome while you were here.

    Still unsure about UVB distances... help?

    Hello there! I know the feeling of being overwhelmed with too much info that seems to contradict with other pieces of info. This is probably one of the best resources you can find for chameleon husbandry and I recommend you pick one source of info and stick to it...

    Foggers and room temperature question

    Oh I definitely can't even get it that low in my smallest room. Third floor of an apartment building, and facing North East, so we cook in the heatwaves. I'm considering moving my enclosure to our bedroom where the AC at least has a better impact.

    Foggers and room temperature question

    That makes sense. Here in MA the last month has been brutal with high heat and high humidity. I usually turn off the AC and open the windows at night hoping for a natural cooldown but at least several mornings it was in the high 70’s with and ambient humidity of 65+. It’s luckily not like this...

    Foggers and room temperature question

    So this is an area where here I’ve struggled, particularly this summer. Even with AC going I cannot get the temps down in my room that low, and that being the case what should I do, decrease or not do much misting at all? I don’t fog at all during the summer but I did have some night misting...

    Sudden deaths

    That’s an interesting theory for sure. I figured I was doing a better supplement plan than with my ambilobe, Jasper, who lived 4.5 years and was getting d3 at every feeding. This time around with Cosmo I was doing the supplement plan from chameleon academy and honestly Cosmo seemed to be...

    Sudden deaths

    So I'm going to link to my post here if people want to read a lot of the details that I'll sum up here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/rip-cosmo.188028/ Cosmo had been to the vet a couple of times for a couple minor issues (a big eye booger and swelling in one arm, dangling) both cases...

    RIP Cosmo

    I will absolutely post here, thank you.

    RIP Cosmo

    I did elect not to have an autopsy done and just take the body home because it was going to be prohibitively expensive at this ER and also I did feel pretty sure of my husbandry all around, but who knows. They'd said another panther owner, someone who has kept tons and was very experience, had...
