Attaching pics of my adult colony’s set up. I just set it up a couple of days ago and haven’t yet put in the leaf litter (all out & need to get more). I had to keep them clean for some months as my colony almost collapsed (basically stupid Florida pests stressed my roaches to death). If I would...

I hope and pray my sweet/spicy Stella will be around for a few more years. She’s currently six and starting to show some signs here and there of her age. She is my beautiful fierce green Goddess. 🥰

Your pics are the right pose with the tail out, but if you can get much closer, it would be clearer.

Tiny perfection! 🤗

I second getting a discoid colony. It is an investment and will take a few months to get fully established, but is well worth it. The adults are much too large for feeding, but the nymphs don’t grow terribly fast so will be a good feeding size for some time. I’ve found my colony produces best...

Looks like a little girl to me.

Some of my different critters have different tastes, which I do take note of and offer substitutions. However, every now and again I will sneak in just one of their disliked feeders to see if their tastes or preferences have maybe changed. Sometimes they do change and will accept what they...

That does not look like poop or anything that you should be pulling, pushing or doing anything else to. You need a vet asap. The only thing you should be doing is putting some water based lubricant on it to keep the tissues alive and viable. Attaching the list of vets who have proven to be good...

I feed all of my chameleons, male and female, the equivalent of 3-4 feeders every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a small treat on one of the weekend days. (I prefer to give much smaller feeder insects than they can handle, so they actually get 4-6 each feeding day) From what you’ve said, you...

Has she been tested for parasites recently? I feed all of my chameleons similar amounts and they are all a healthy size and I have to be careful as they can easily surpass ‘healthy’ into overweight. Here’s my little cutie patootie, Kali, who is also 4 years old. My little lady hasn’t ever laid...

When looking for a place to lay that they like, they can be very restless and all over the place. My girl Stella showed me just how particular they can be. When I switched her to bioactive, I assumed that she would see the entire substrate ‘ground’ as suitable for laying her eggs. She did not...

Having chameleons and other insectivores has definitely changed my perspective about many bugs. My sister finally learned that I have a colony of feeder roaches and looks at me like I’m crazy when I compare the wild roaches as being disgusting and not at all like MY roaches. The looks she gives...

If you can get some tiny enough hornworms, sure. The problem is that they grow unbelievably fast…literally overnight can go from just right to way too big. I just had some hawk moths emerge from their cocoons and gave me some eggs last week and they’ve gone from itty bitty eyelash bebes to...

If she hasn’t minded the lay bin, then I won’t mind it. It still wouldn’t hurt any to give her some cover for privacy though. I have to suggest a vet visit too. If heaven forbid she is having a problem laying her eggs, it would be best to address it before she becomes weakened.

So, you don’t want to use the Repashy Calcium Plus at all…it’s too high in some vitamins for chameleons (I can’t recall which specifically). Repashy Calcium Plus Lo D is much better BUT you only use the combination multivitamin/D3 for 2 feedings per month. Your little guy has been getting...

You and Mia, Piper and all of your sweet ‘babies’ have my love and prayers always, but adding some extra. 💗

We’re all a little weird in our own beautiful way. I’m so glad that you kept Rango and have been making the needed changes for him, rather than giving him up. You’re carrying on your Mom’s legacy of rescuing animals and I know that she is so very proud of you. 💗

Hi and welcome! :) How many crickets are you feeding him daily? Are you dusting the crickets with calcium plus?

Giddy-up! 😂

Poor little lady. 😞 That looks like a sizable cyst that she had. Glad that it was found and that and her eggs are all out now. Sweet Mia just needs to have an uneventful recovery and return home to you. I have to ask about her eye…looks like she may have something starting at the inner corner...
