Thought I’d share my new male baby blue bar ambilobe chameleon from @Matt Vanilla Gorilla at NutsOverChameleons.com. I’d like to start off with thanking this site for helping me these last 6 months in gathering so much helpful information to get started in chameleon keeping. While I’m no where...
I dont see anything super big that pops out in either theirs or chameleon forum care sheets that looks completely wrong. They are pretty similar. Like Brody said everyone has their own way of doing it and some ways we might not agree because so and so have been doing it a certain way for years...
Okay your going to need to get ready to spend some money. Your other chameleon might look fine at the moment but it will soon face the same fate as your male if you do not change everything in your setup.
First off chameleons should not be in fish aquariums they need some ventilation which a...
Please fill out this form! Honestly he needs a vet nobody can save him on this forum he really looks bad there’s no way this just started to happen. That animal looks like it’s been malnourished for months.

Okay at least he still sounds interested in food. Nothing really pops out in your husbandry on why he would be gaping like this. I would monitor closely and possibly a vet visit if nothing changes.
Temperatures look good. Just a guess but try taking a peek into his throat if you can. I have heard horror stories of hornworms latching onto chameleons throats as the chameleon tries to swallow it. Has he ate anything since you last fed him the hornworm?
All chameleons are amazing I don’t have a favorite haha! You really can’t go wrong with either of those 2 species though as long as you have done your research. Spending money in this hobby or on any animal for that matter is just part of the equation. Money shouldn’t define what animal you...
Yeah I hear he’s the bug man on here and knows his stuff on bioactive setups. I’ve been thinking about private messaging him on here if he sells certain bugs since he lives close I’d be interested in buying some from him possibly. OP will get all her questions answered from the bug man...
That’s why I tagged him in this I knew he would have more insight on this than me haha. You helped me learn something new though i guess when you do think about it with a bioactive setup it’s just a forest floor like in the wild so it’s probably more natural than a lay bin.
I’m still a newb at this lol I know nothing about female care. I’m just going off Jan’s lay bin blog. I thought they need at least 12 inches to dig down?
I’m not super familiar with bioactive enclosures so I’ll tag someone who is and he may be able to help. @jamest0o0 but I know your going to still need a lay bin in the enclosure they require at least a 12x12x12 sized bin for laying preferably bigger with wet playsand and soil to be able to tunnel.
You have been told the changes you need to make in your previous threads. We can only tell you tell you what you need to do. He needs a vet 100% the people on this forum can’t save this chameleon we can only give our thoughts on what’s wrong and what needs to be changed. It’s only up to the...
Very well said. I just started getting into chameleons in February and pretty much have been researching everyday as much as I can and I only have just scratched the surface on really everything there is to know about these animals. The most important thing is to never stop trying to learn in...
