    Took my Chameleon to the vet today.

    You may want to invest in one of these https://www.solarmeter.com/model62.html many florescent bulbs will only put out good UV for a few months. Some folks follow a six month rule of changing bulbs but with a meter you can know for sure when it's time to replace the bulb. Expensive I know, but...

    Watery urate/eating soil and branches?

    Stop the watery food for a couple for days and it should firm up. If it doesn't, it might be time for a fecal float and or a vet visit. It's most like too much watery food, like when people eat too much fruit, particularly melon, or maybe that's just me lol

    Pothos?

    New plants from the store can be loaded with pesticides and fertilizer. Take Sandra's advice about other snacks to tempt your cham with. Mine used to eat ficus and hibiscus like it was a weed eater.

    Adopted a very very thin chamo she won't eat. Help!

    Why ask for help if you won't listen to those trying to help? This always boggles my mind. Some of the folks on here have been doing this for decades. It is rare in the extreme that two calyptratus are going to live together without stressing each other to death. As new born animals? sure for a...

    Breeding or buying dubia?

    Be sure to check your local laws. They are not legal in all states. Roaches are much easier to deal with that crickets. Say goodbye to the smell, if you have a smell associated with the roaches it's past time to clean the bin and you most likely have mold. I only ever purchase crickets now when...

    Problems with petsmart

    +1 Sorry to say but that's the unvarnished truth. None of the chain pets stores gives a rats *** what you feel about how they sell their animals and worse the state demands that they do ignorant things like put a water bowl in with chameleons, also know as an infection breeding ground. Until...

    is my cham too fat?

    Looks a little skinny imo lines in the tail and a thin casque. Or perhaps needs a bit more water. Are the urates nice and white?

    How well do Dragon Ledges work with DIY cages?

    I hope DIY is no longer using steel screen in their cages, I am in the middle of re-screening three of them due to rust. As the others have said, Bill is a stand up guy and is great about his products.

    Hurt leg on Newly Imported Wild Caught

    I'd do blood work and an x-ray on that leg. They can be roughly treated while being captured and fractures are not uncommon.

    Can veiled chameleon ever get used to you?

    Better you than me lol. I love Tokays but they can deliver a pretty good bite. I have seen a few hand tame ones at some shows and they command a pretty good price.

    Hurt leg on Newly Imported Wild Caught

    Could be any number of things, best to get it to a vet and get it tested. Often with WC they have many things they hide, like birds do, injury, parasites etc and the stress of shipping generally triggers the parasites to go crazy. They then lose the ability to mask any injury and often decline...

    Superworm Size

    You are most likely looking at meal worms and not supers. You can buy smaller supers but you have to search for them. I can't remember the last place I bought small ones from but I'm sure a bit of online fishing will yield results. Zophobas morio is the super worm and Tenebrio molitor are meal...
