With a brush, soap, and water. Rinse well.

Okay so at this age the bump behind the vent at the base of the tail should be really subtle. We need a better picture. Can you put your chameleon on a straight perching stick, hold it completely horizontal to get a picture with the tail straight out. Be sure to be level with it, not above or...

So, 8 inches or so from the top you need at least one horizontal dowel your chameleon can use for basking. Can you show us the lights you’ve chosen?

You can also feed your Cham the silkworm butterflies so if the worms manage to get too big they will still be food eventually.

I am no expert but when I saw the first picture you posted of the problem I wondered if he was starting to burn. Then you posted photos of the basking bulb (heat bulb) sitting directly on the screen. I would encourage you to raise that off the cage at least an inch or two. I see there are no...

However she still needs to lay eggs on a regular basis, fertile or not. If she has no proper place to lay them she will hold onto them and possibly become “egg bound” which often leads to death. A proper lay bin will help her stay happy and healthy.

Our heart goes out to you. Being egg bound is unfortunately all too common. We hope you stay with us and honor her with being a great parent to a new chameleon that needs a home someday soon.

If you don’t vote for yours, why would I? :ROFLMAO::LOL::p

I hope you put these in the photo contest

Is that vermiculite? It looks too wet to me. You should be able to squeeze a fistful and a couple drops of water come out, but no more.

Would you mind taking pictures of his enclosure? Specifically the top of the cage and the lamps on top, viewed from the front. Also, in order for the talented people here to truly help you, you would want to fill out the answers to these questions: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

Interestingly this topic is being discussed in another thread and you might like the solution found there. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/anyone-know-a-way-to-control-or-eliminate-the-little-flies-that-hatch-from-potted-plants.166491/unread

It was my understanding from the videos I watched from my armchair :p that the female needed to be receptive to the male for them to breed. If she likes him she turns pretty colors and if she doesn’t she gets all dark and doesn’t get lucky. Is that not the case?

Yea I agree. That’s exactly why I have never wanted to purchase an adult. I want to raise them to trust me and enjoy being taken out of their enclosure, as well as ensuring they receive the best diet and environment during their crucial first year. I feel like there is just too much risk, but...

If I can simply water plants with this stuff, it sounds like a great option, no doubt.

Where can I read more about sunken eyes being a symptom of pain? I have only ever read about it being related to dehydration.

That chameleon is female judging by what you have shown. Can you post a photo of it from the side that clearly shows the vent bump and tail?

Can you post photos of the powder you got from the breeder and state how often you use it and how you use it?

With respect DGray, the question was how to control them, not eliminate them. I’ve found traps to be pretty effective. I don’t believe it’s possible to truly eliminate them but I have never heard of that interesting bacterial product.

If you use plywood, it will. Ideally birch plywood. More than enough to support the whole thing and a tub of dirt in each cage
