I had an excellent vet. He worked as a vet at a zoo, kept crocodile monitors and actually bred ambilobe panthers for a good while. He moved.. tried establishing care with a new exotic vet today. First thing out of her mouth when she saw Beau was “what kind of chameleon is he?” She did also...

Takes me back to when I was a teenage kid and got my first veiled chameleon. Feels like a million years ago! I don’t want to sound like a broken record on repeat, but definitely. @Macy&Pixie the chameleons I know it seems pricey, but it will be absolutely worth it. The bulb alone usually goes...

Are the same people giving you this advice experienced chameleon keepers themselves? I genuinely am not attempting to sound condescending or argumentative. I would just hate for you to take that advice seriously - you will lose your chameleon over it. Just getting her “a lot of vitamin D and...

Hi there, I totally get baby cham stress (I’ve got a 4 month old that’s currently keeping me on pins and needles). I’m going to second what @Morpheo's Mom said and suggest getting him to the vet. If you can let us know your location, I know @jannb can help you find a vet in your area. As said...

Your cages look beautifu! Just wondering if you sealed the insides with silicone? How do you handle drainage?

I could not agree with this more, I suppose that’s a silver lining to all the worry, in a way? You worry so much that you tend to become hyper vigilant and catch things right as they come up. Aw man I can relate to this so much, haha! You’re Cali based, right? The hot, DRY weather has had me...

Right, that definitely makes sense. I guess I will just have to accept that this is as relaxed as I will ever be about keeping chameleons, lol. Their diet would be what my problem is! I’ve been using a bit of dubia chow from dubiaroaches.com. It is far from the ONLY thing I use as gutload, but...

It’s been over a year since I got my first panther chameleon. During that time, I’ve experienced some pretty major challenges (a Coccidia infection, an immunocompromised chameleon, genetic defects). I was very recently on the wrong end of a health concern and ended up leaving the vet without the...

Adam Wickens (Wickens Wicked Reptiles on YouTube) brought up these types of videos and had some pretty strong things to say about them.. I’m definitely inclined to agree. I mean, even without broaching the subject of an animal being given feeders (in AQUARIUM GRAVEL, no less) entirely too large...

He got so big!

Oh gosh.. I’d love one of your veiled babies, @jannb. I’ll have to talk with fiancé and see what he thinks. If we can’t swing it, I have a free sanitized 2 x 2 x 4 Reptibreeze with a drain tray available in central CA If anyone is interested!

Here’s my beautiful Beau man in his orange tree 💚💙 I also took my new baby, Marzipan outside for the first time this week!

I am so sorry it took me so incredibly long to respond to this. i will gladly get pics in the morning. Basking temp has been around 85-86 (it‘s still pretty warm where I’m located). My basking bulb is on a dimmer switch, so I let it cool down to about 80-82 for a couple hours after he’s been...

I lucked out and got a new 3 month old baby.. as of today, I’ve only had him for a week. He only ate a few of his bugs yesterday, nothing today. Kind of been through a lot with chameleons and health issues lately, and I think I’m keeping a pretty cool head about it, but I am a bit concerned...

That looks fantastic!! Lucky Eustis!

Do you know what he was injected with when your vet kept him for 2 days, and is it still day gecko food you were advised force feed to him with 5-6 times a day? I am far from an expert chameleon keeper, but it has been my experience that eyes closed during the day means something is happening...

After seeing this guy, I’ve admittedly done the same lol

Yes! like you said, just use longer screws. Standard screw size is 3/4 inch - pretty sure that is the size of the screws you would have used to put your Reptibreeze together. Next screw size up would be 1”. Get stainless screws because you don’t want them to rust! When you’re assembling your...

Money trees are a great option. I had a beautiful one in Beau’s cage.. until he was diagnosed with coccidia 😬 it has since made a gorgeous houseplant. I’m only going off of experience, but crotons, peperomias and pothos plants have worked the best in my cages. I’ve also used coroplast on Beau’s...

Best possible outcome for Eustis! I’m so hoping it’s something similar and it comes off with his next shed.
