I can’t comment on whether or not this particular type of plant is toxic to chameleons, but a sabal palm is definitely an outdoor plant/tree. I would imagine that it would be difficult to keep one alive and healthy indoors (unless you’ve got hundreds of dollars worth of plant lighting over your...

First totally clean fecal since Beau’s coccidia diagnosis! I’ve thrown out hundreds in supplies I deemed tainted (much to my fiance’s horror), as well as plants and feeder insects. I’ve washed my hands bloody. I’ve been spraying down everything in the immediate vicinity of Beau’s cage with 40...

What are night time temps like in LA? If you can get temps below 67 F at night, you can use a cool mist fogger to keep RH levels in Barney’s cage up to 80% or higher. Hornworms and silkworms are also great for hydration. Keep that up along with his prescription diet, and I know you’ll be able to...

@summerseeking that looks absolutely killer!! Cannot wait to see this completed! Man I wish I was half as handy as you are!

Oh man. What an ordeal. So glad everyone made it!

What a lucky girl Lily is to have ended up with you! Bless you for taking her! 😍

Watched this just the other night and it took me back to when I was 9-11. I used to see Jackson’s chams at local pet stores all the time. Granted, most pet stores would keep like 5 males to a cage.. 😬

I know the following is quite a different scenario, but thought it might be worth mentioning: I’ll be getting a second chameleon soon, quite possibly a blue ambanja that was born with a defective tongue. The hyoid bone and tongue muscle are intact, he just doesn’t shoot his tongue. Apparently...

Was wondering The same thing! Awesome set up!

You have such beautiful, happy looking veileds! 🥰

In that case, I suppose this is sort of an ”it is what it is” situation, and I’ll probably have to go with bulbs marketed toward reptiles. Glad to hear the Fluker’s brand has worked out okay, because so far it’s the cheapest option. I’m guessing so? Looks like I can order the bulbs you linked...

Heat bulb has been on since 8:30 AM, and as of 1 PM today I’ve only been able to get the basking spot up to 77 F. Beau’s been glued to the basking spot all day trying his hardest to warm up. I purchased a heat dome with a dimmer switch and am looking to use 100 watt bulbs with it, that way I can...

Hi, i know that I’m a bit late to comment, but how is your guy doing? Did you manage to get a fecal float done? Unrelated to what you’re asking, but relevant: around the beginning of February, I noticed my chameleon had diarrhea. Had a fecal float done, and I am now treating him for Coccidia...

What a seriously lucky find! Congrats!! And much respect to the couple that realized chameleon keeping wasn’t for them BEFORE bringing one home. 💖

No, you don’t. Coming from someone diagnosed with OCD, coccidia is a uniquely awful thing to deal with. as far as roaches that can’t climb goes, I’m seconding dubia and pantanal roaches!

I definitely don’t meant to stray from the original topic, but thank you for this. I’ve really been beating myself up over the fact that my chameleon got sick at all.

Whole heartedly agree.. that said, I’m trying to figure out how in the hell Beau came down with coccidia in the first place. I have been buying crickets exclusively from Rainbow Mealworms, with the exception of the ONE time I bought pre-packaged crickets from Petco in those plastic containers...

Thank you so much!! The reassurance and kind words are beyond appreciated. In regards to Beman, I could not agree more!

Thank you so much for this. I’m so very sorry for your experience. These pots were like $2 each from Hone Depot.. probably better safe than sorry, I think we (well, I) tend to ask stupid questions when we’re panicking lol Going to take all the good news I can here and treat it as a win. ✌🏻💖...

Jesus. Okay. I actually found the 2019 thread of yours detailing your Coccidia experience. Sitting here shaking lol It is a clean bottom cage. Just one large plastic pot on the bottom, right in the middle. Should I ditch all the plastic pots too? Or can just be disinfected/reused? I think I’m...
