With regards to color that is a resounding YES! Their color is totally connected to their emotions and communicating that to other chams more so then camouflage.
Hello and welcome. Congregations on your new friend. It needs to be set to the finest mist possible and run for one to two minutes twice a day. I like mine to get a chance to warm up under the basking lights before I water but many do it first thing. Make sure it’s hitting leaves as they like to...
Well a vet visit is traumatic for a Cham. So stress can cause that and there is debate on this but I feel dehydration can cause it too. Sometimes after a vet visit they will go on hunger strike or drinking strike. Probably to let you know he is not a happy camper. Don’t freak out. Stay with your...
Omg Neptune gone!?! It can’t be. You two made a great partnership! You and he helped me when I got a rescue out of the blue with absolutely no experience with chameleons. So I want to thank you and your precious for helping me and my precious boy! Rest in peace Neptune. Enjoy your next...
I hear you. All we can do is try to make their lives better then they were. There are no guarantees with pets or babies. We get what we get and just have to deal with whatever comes with it and love em even more.
I have learned that a lot of human regulations do apply if it’s for an animal. Like antibiotics. Now if I need amoxicillin, I have to go to a doctor get a script and go to a pharmacy. Well having saltwater tanks taught me that I can get 250mg amoxicillin tablets for the fish tank with no...
Found this one on Amazon. Would that work?

lol the one I have used forever! I didn’t know they even made them with auto shut off! That’s how old I am. Maybe you can find an older one at a goodwill.
You said that one eye does not fill the turret as much as the other eye. Well I had a female panther that came to me in very bad shape. She was left in the sun to die and got badly sunburned. Especially one eye lid was black. She was peach colored. The vet said it was necropsy and if it...
Well I use a 28-32 gallon tub which I covered the outside with one of those insulation aluminum blankets that I cut up and taped on to make it dark then I use a heating pad on half of the bottom covered with a towel so it won’t be too hot. I hatch the eggs in a tub about half that size and keep...
I took in a rescue and everything I offered he seemed disinterested in. So I watched him very carefully and due to an injury caused by the seller, he could not target properly. He would try a couple of times and shoot off to the right, after two attempts he would give up. So I researched all...
Yeah, you figured out what works for the both of you. Don’t worry about freaking out it’s a scary thing. Meds with each different chameleon is different I have found. My little girl
Panther was the hardest. She would clamp her mouth shut and nothing would pry it open. Finally had to switch to...
How is your baby doing? Her eye lids look like they may be stuck. Are you misting daily? A fine mist is required for good eye health too. I hope you get a chance to answer the above questions. This is a free husbandry review by those that have spent a fortune learning and relearning what works...
Well Bob has gotten some great advice! He is ready to start molting on the lower portion of him any day now. You don’t need to help him they are dry sheders once full grown, they rarely shed the entire body at once. The only times you need to help is if stuck shed is at the tip of the tail or...
Ouch. Looks like an abcess to me under the eyelid. That will require a vet but at least they don’t have to put her under to remove it. Best of luck to you both. Whatever you do don’t mess with it or press it.
