You are a much stronger person than I am. I’d be putting my money on the counter while trying to figure out how to fit more enclosures in my house. 😂 They are too stinkin’ cute.

Looking more like a boy to my eyes. Still looking totally adorable! 💗 💗 💗 💗

Sometimes it presents a dilemma in going to a vet that doesn’t have a great deal of knowledge or experience with chameleons. We always want the best for our beauties, but we also have the opportunity to possibly encourage and even help guide a vet to becoming experienced and knowledgeable. We...

Finally caught the little gecko (it was a very young one) that has been trapped in the house for days. Gave him a drink and a meal before letting him free. 💗

I don’t know if that was a true abscess, but whatever it was, it certainly was huge and maybe too big to come out on its own.

I just need to clarify - is that 6 ‘regular’ sized feeders, or 6 smaller ones? Or do you mean you’re starting to wean her food quantity down? Sorry, but I’m overly protective/concerned about all of the beautiful little ladies, veiled especially. 😁🥰 Btw, Littlefoot and Mr Jack are beauties. 😍 I...

This is a great blog. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/ Do avoid tong feeding as they can hurt and damage their tongues. I like using silkworms placed on the back of my hand which I hold out towards my cham. They are slow moving and stay on your hand...

I’m not good at sexing. On the vine I think male, but then on your hand, I think female. I do know though that you have an adorable cutie patootie. 🤗

Some people are so averse to anything natural, when animals lived just fine in the natural world for eons until we decided to bring them into our homes. I’ll never understand this. I was told I was killing my leopard geckos for keeping them bioactively instead of on paper towel or shelf liner...

Was the murdering from here, or somewhere like maybe Reddit?

I would just go out and scavenge for some natural tree branches of varied diameters. Avoid pine, eucalyptus and others which have either thick sap or strong odor. Give a wash with some mild dish soap, blast/rinse well with a garden hose and let dry in the sun before use. Leave the bark on and...

With the new basking bulb, are you continuing to monitor the temps? Mouth open could also be if he’s too hot. What are your humidity levels during the day? Do you boost humidity at night? If so, what are your night temps? Any noises from him, like popping, crackles or anything else? Any thick...

Took me a minute. 😂 😂😂

I thought the same. 😄 This might help. https://biocontrol.entomology.cornell.edu/predators/Cryptolaemus.php

My male veiled has a dark tongue and aside from not being able to shoot more than a few inches, (I think he might be an old man) he’s okay. Is your guy able to use his tongue properly? If so, I wouldn’t worry about it.

She might know someone, or you could look at the vet list. Not on the list for some unknown reason is Dr Dayna of https://www.auroraanimalhospital.com/staff/dr-dayna-willems who is a moderator here. She might be a good vet to consult.

Your regular vet might want to think about consulting with other vets, who may have more knowledge or experience with chameleons. While there may not be one in Alaska, there’s plenty of ways to communicate with one elsewhere.

If you are able to reduce your humidity, that would be much better. High humidity plus high heat greatly increases the risks for and can cause respiratory infections. How are you measuring humidity - with a digital or analog gauge? Digital with a wire probe end is better, both for measuring...

Little ones can get overheated, which can lead to dehydration. He looks pretty young and depending on your home temps, may not even need a basking light just yet. A basking temp of below 80 would be best. What are your humidity levels like? Ideal is between 30-50%.
