Only a vet can determine if it’s an abscess or abnormal growth, I’d guess by lancing it. If an abscess, it needs to be tended to before any potential infection can spread and cause sepsis. If an abnormal growth, better to have it addressed or removed while small and before it can grow larger and...

We humans are strange in the patterns we make. It’s always happened that new animals come into my life in the spring and usually around May. Perhaps that’s just for cats and dogs. My chameleons seem to come into my life in the autumn around this time of year. Six years ago yesterday, on a day...

Very well done! 💗

Thank you! Beautiful baby girl! 🤗

The Repashy Calcium Plus is a great product which contains vitamin D3, so no other source of D3 is needed (other than thru UVB). You would use the calcium without D3 at every feeding except for one feeding twice per month, in which you would use the Repashy. As I said previously, if that was my...

Female panthers are a bit different than veileds in that they don’t grow so fast, so you do provide them more time to grow and mature before limiting food. Since babies and young chameleons temperatures shouldn’t exceed 78-80F anyhow, you don’t need to reduce basking temps. It’s been a few years...

Love that face! Great pics! 🥰

While not familiar with the PangeaCal brand, I assume they are okay. However, the Repashy Calcium Plus is not. I can’t recall which vitamins it is too high in for chameleons, but it is. Also, it contains D3 so you would be double dosing in D3. A couple of better options would be : substitute...

This should help in sexing your roaches. I used to have a great pic…clear and simple…but can’t find it.

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...
