There's a chameleon care sheet on this site that would help you out. It should be on the right side of the page, as like a banner. Cage size would depend on age and species. The bigger, the better. 4'x2'x2' screen cage is recommended for many of the common species. Avoid glass tanks if this is...

Am I allowed to be mean? Look at how fat her arms are! Even her hands and fingers are fat! And her belly's dragging. I think she's got a double chin going on, too, and she's so fat that she doesn't have a neck! I'm jealous of how healthy of an eater she must be.

I'm using the mobile app, and none of the photos are showing up for me. They're all broken icons.

Thank you. There are a lot of factors that go into whether they get along or not, for sure. Mine generally love each other, but you can definitely tell that they sometimes get on each others' nerves, where they just walk away from the other as soon as he comes up to him. They're like two kids...

Definitely. I have a sheet in the corner of a free-range room for a cham that just doesn't do well in a free-range set-up. He's allowed to leave the area if he wants, but chooses not to. He's perfectly happy in his isolated nook. Anyways, the ceiling is those lay-in ceiling tiles that are...

Thanks Go ahead, jump right on in there. I'm not sure if my plants would be able to support your weight, though, so you'll just have to be terrestrial. Lol. At one point, I tried a three-some, but the third was just getting really nervous and stressed out, so now he's still in the free-range...

You could always just use a sheet. I pin it up so that it doesn't fall off, even if they climb on it. Pin it up in all four corners and along the sides. You want the sheet to be something that they can't see each other through. I'm assuming you mean mold by the moisture, but you should be...

Thanks! Have you heard of the story about the two male penguins that took turns to hatch an egg and raise the baby? It's a children's book about a true story, and I wish I could remember the title of it. It was published to teach kids that there are different kinds of families, and that it's...

I know you did (advice, btw, is the noun; advise is a verb), but we weren't fully discussing the OP's primary question of refrigeration and the discussion had evolved to gut loading ingredients. If you just want to know what to gut load with, there have been quite a few discussions about that...

That is so cool!

Looking like it's coming along nicely. You want to make sure that your cham can get to every spot of the cage - top, bottom, left, right, diagonals - using the vines/plants alone, without having to rely on the screen of the cage.

Just wanted to share a cute photo. Of course, they both woke up when I turned on the light to snap this photo, but it was much cuter when they both actually had their eyes closed. These two males have been living together for a while now with no problems, since they were young and essentially...

I agree. I wouldn't feel comfortable attempting it blindly just based on what I've read, without actually having it shown to me or I practice it under supervision. After all, simply reading something on the internet doesn't make you experienced or capable, right?

Like Psycho said, a month is a really long time. Has he been seen by a vet since being started on Baytril? And it's NutriBAC by MZR products. They claim it's the only patented probiotic on the market for reptiles and amphibians.

Pet stores that act like know-it-alls but aren't actually caring for their animals properly is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. I don't think they should carry animals like chameleons, and everyone should just purchase from reputable breeders. On the same token, shame on the breeders who...

Seems as though this hasn't been the only thread where you've been "misunderstood" or taken the wrong way by what you have written...

I think the OP's question was whether the worms should be refrigerated or not, and not what they should be gut loaded with. I would not refrigerate. They go into "hibernation sleep mode" when they're refrigerated, so they won't eat. Obviously, if you keep them warm, it boosts their...

Can you point out where I mentioned putting the actual syringe into the airway? I thought I had said the liquid contents of the syringe could end up in the airway, causing them to aspirate. Not the actual syringe. Another warning - do not attempt to force feed when your chameleon is hissing...

Thanks, guys. So essentially, brightness is the same but heat output is not?What does everyone use? A WalMart/Home Depot/Lowe's product link would be very helpful.

Wait, you mean the voices I've been hearing aren't really my chameleons'??? :p Exactly - what signs let you know that they actually like it? Sleep vs. deep sleep are different. Not much wakes my chams up. I'm sure they have REM cycles, too. You see all those commercials for mattresses and...
