Sharp? The leaf tips? I don’t believe it looks like a dangerous plant for your chameleon, although the leaves won’t hold the weight of an adult it looks like a great coverage plant. I have used a plant that has smaller but similarly shaped leaves without issue. ☺️
Yes more plants will help your chameleon feel safe. This site has the plants from the Chameleon Academy and Chameleon.info with specific plant care and placement: https://caskabove.com/chameleon-safe-plants
Also, check your temps and UV to make sure your little one isn’t uncomfortable. It takes...
Those long pieces definitely look like sperm plugs. Here’s a video that shows the sperm plug being pushed out:
But the white parts of the urates do look a bit odd, my chameleon passed a urate or 2 that looked similar but only a couple and not that many rounded shapes. Hopefully someone here has...
A fogger/humidifier at night (when your temps drop) for at least 5-6 hours will help hydrate your chameleon naturally. Just make sure to clean it every 2-4 weeks. Is your mister blasting your chameleon directly? My chameleon hates being sprayed so the fog drinking works wonders for me. I also...
That’s a great question! I’ve read that they can see up to 1/2 mile away. She might be ok if you have ample foliage/coverage but I would monitor her for any behavioral changes (fear/aggression) ☺️
Love it 😍 it looks great! Can’t wait to see it with the branches and lucky resident. Oh btw make sure your area doesn’t get rats if you’re overnighting your chameleon outdoors. I read a thread about a chameleon that died from rat bite injuries. The rat bit thru the screen and chewed the tail and...
So far I’ve read that chameleons can hear within limited range of 200-600Hz. They can most likely hear more from women than men since the average male voice tops out at around 180 and 255 for females. They will also “hear” more thru vibrations in the air. So I would say it depends on the tone...
We gotta see her tummy. Do you have a lay bin ready (with privacy)? What’s your supplement schedule? Cage size? Any fake plants that could’ve been eaten? Temperatures (night/day/basking)? Humidity (day/night)? Hydration methods? Cage elevation? Fecal exam? How does the poop and urates look?
Please post the additional pics ASAP and fill out the husbandry form. Your little one may need to see a vet very soon.

Yes, majority of the forum members will advise against waterfalls. The poop, mold, mildew and suicidal insects will collect quickly and become a health risk. With baby chameleons it’s also a drowning risk. Even in those waterfall drinking stations that are supposed to keep out poop and bugs will...
Pics of her limbs would be helpful for the experienced members to see for any MBD signs, but I think you may want a vet visit scheduled soon. Especially since this has been going in for a while already. It will be worse if she falls and injures herself before being handled by the vets.
Nice 👍 I think it’s less than 15 actually banned chemicals for the US. Cali has better standards but I think we have a ways to go before we catch up with the rest of the modern world.😔
Very interesting reads. I do wish that vitamins and supplements were better regulated by the FDA, both for us and for any animals we keep. The idea of unregulated lead amounts in these supplements is quite scary.
That’s true. My thoughts were on the possibility of some people going thru the severe weather we have rn and not being able to go to the stores or getting their shipments, with many people suffering power and water shortages. I would definitely agree with getting another UVB if that is possible...
