I was thinking of this problem for someday in the future when I get a cham, I have a cat and a dog who are quite... uhhh... "energetic". An idea I had was if the cham cage is in a corner, to get one of those curved shower rods that fits into the corner, and hang a shower curtain up so the cham...
Of course all chameleons are cute, but I'm trying to convince some certain anti-reptile family members to like chams, so I need to see all of your cutest cham pics! :-) thanks in advance :D
I know it's winter right now, but for those of you who keep Jackson's or other montane species, how do you keep them cool in the summertime? It's usually around 80°F, but no more than 83°F (which I read is about the basking temp of a Jackson's) during the day in summer INSIDE my house. At night...
Now obviously most of you will say chameleon but hear me out...
So, I've been saving up, and now I have what I call "a little something for me" money and I want either a chameleon or a fancy dslr camera. I've done a lot of research, I've made pros and cons lists, I've even had friends and family...
I agree with the others, you need more plants and you should get rid of the little pond thing at the bottom. Chameleons drink water droplets off leaves since they live in trees and they don't recognize standing pools of water. Also if you put some branches and plants up a little higher under the...
These are some of my favorite chameleon videos on youtube. I think they really show the colors and personality of chameleons.

So I get that chameleons in general are solitary and difficult to care for, but out of Panther, Veiled, Carpet, and Jackson's chameleons which would you say is good for beginners and doesn't mind being handled every now and then?
Every chameleon is different so thanks for offering your...
I really love chameleons, and I really love my family. However, my family does not really love the idea of live insects in the house (they like chameleons though). What are some ways you would convince a stubborn family member to be ok with bugs in the house? Where do you keep your feeder...
This is what I've come up with so far for my future chameleon's enclosure...

Does anyone know where I could find a dimmable fixture for a 125 watt basking bulb? Also I'm not sure if this is a spot basking bulb or if it heats an entire area: http://www.lowes.com/pd_181165-3-14952_0__?productId=1051889&Ntt=heat+lamp&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dheat%2Blamp&facetInfo=

Thank you everyone for answering my questions! :)
...and to everyone who started having a conversation about the word plethora and other words, thank you for making me laugh :D it was a very entertaining conversation
oh one more thing...
What (in your opinion) is the best place to buy feeder insects based on:
- quality (pesticide-free, won't get your chameleon sick)
- price (it shouldn't cost more to feed a chameleon than it does to feed my 150lb Great Dane)
- any other good reasons you have
hi I'm new :)
So I've been doing a lot of research... online, in books, on this website... about chameleons. I'm considering possibly getting one someday and I still have a lot of questions.
Here is my plethora of questions... (I really wanted to use the word plethora in a sentence today)...
