Filling out the form would be the best thing to do. However, if his urates are white and he is starting a shed that could be the cause of the wrinklyness. Orange or yellow urates are a sign of dehydration, white means he is well hydrated. My chams both get wrinkly right before a shed... As well...

Most of my friends think it's cool, a few of my close friends are into reptiles. My family members think it's cooll, except for one who has some actual mental illness issues with extreme paranoia, who despite being informed they are both CB, is convinced they are WC and carying mysterious...

I have two non-bigname petstores by me that sell crickets. One has "large" crickets that are all pretty much small/medium who are half dead by the end of the first day. Another store has crickets that I once bought at an ACTUAL large size and kept alive for five weeks in a storage container...

Did anyone ask this guy exactly wth he was trying to say about the "Notoriously picky nosy bes" or whatever he called them? I want that to become a super lame board meme now. Like whenever we talk about a new feeder or cage decor/husbandry thing we can just be like "I do some long and short...

I've touched my female chameleons chin before just because its soft and feels funny. She doesn't react. Granted, as has been said, this doesn't mean no stress, but generally speaking she hates being handled. I only move her when I need to clean or put her outside in the sun on the few warm days...

Well, birds of prey are natural predators for chameleons, so any chameleon living in the wild is at risk of being attacked by birds or any other predator, as well as dehydration and the like. That said, he is most likely wild born, and while captivity may be safer and healthier for him, he might...

They're precious. i don't think I could handle being in the presence of something that tiny. Like I would be so terrified i would gently brush against them with a fingertip and completely smush them that I'd have a breakdown.

Don't feel stupid, I lost Bulbasaur, whose a seven month old male panther, in his cage one evening. He was inside the Pothos, which I looked through three times and removed from the cage. I looked down and he was RUNNING from the plant wearing his PJs across the floor. What a rude awakening just...

Mine seem to want to eat anything that moves and is near them, haha. The few times I've fed my female a roach, though, she like lept across the cage and dominated it within seconds. My male likes hornworms. He has a tongue injury that makes shooting at prey difficult for him, even with a cup it...

Ow. Any idea how that happened? Maybe fill out the how to ask for help form or post some pictures of his cage and someone can give some insight. If I were you I'd probably take him to a vet. Flushing it with H2O2 and using antibiotic ointment is accteptable I think, reading from another post...

The fact that he stopped and then lurched off into a corner and turned black seems like he probably spotted something that scared him that he hadn't noticed before, or maybe you did something that freaked him out. It's a sign of stress so if he were to keep turning black, you should try to...

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I looked at some older posts and when you were asking about information for your chameleon people posted links to blog entries that mentioned specific consideration for female chameleons which detailed infertile egg laying and the importance of an egg...

Well, everyone else has already said it, but just for the sake of giving my opinion, VET TIME. RIGHT NOW. If you don't have an experienced reptile vet, get one now, and you should tell the vet it's an emergency. I think with her staying asleep during the day you're past the point that putting...

Essentially, whatever keeps the humidity right and your chams urates pearly white while still allowing the cage to dry out in between mistings is good. My female takes a while to start drinking, so my afternoon misting is like 10 or 15 minutes. I forget exactly how I set it, but I know I do...

Most of them don't really for whatever reason, unless they're in there a while. I use a really small feeder cup, it's a easy mac container with half a party cup glued to it with screen inside so the bugs can crawl. My male has a tongue injury from when he was a baby and can't shoot his tongue...

Hah. The big name petstores here sell them for $100 and the shops that "specialize" in reptiles and exotic pets keep them in the same teensy glass tanks with a water bowl and sell them for $150. Crazy. I see them for $40 at the reptile shows.

HAHA yeah, don't watch them too closely!!! She licked her lips for like ten minutes after she bit me. Clearly, she now has the taste of human flesh. :eek: I like to think I taste better than crickets and worms. ;)

They grow at wildly different rates sometimes based on food consumptopn but yes, like Chameleon Nerd said, barring any health problems or lack of food, a chameleon that size would be quite young. Baby status.

If he's eating I wouldn't force bug juice. He can go a while without a lot of food... Also if he's an adult some people feed their adults pretty small amounts regularly so three adult crickets a day is good. He is grown enough to not need a lot of food, from the pictures I've seen. If his...

I think at her age most people have already cut back to small daily feedings or moderate sized every other day feedings. If you give her a mouse and then give her crickets the next day, she's probably not going to be hungry for them yet, but since she finds the mice so tasty she'll eat them. I...
