Carol to the rescue
It is hard, akin to muscle consistency, and she doesn't mind if it is touched, so it either isn't painful or she doesn't want me to know it's painful :/
Yes, completely out of nowhere since Thursday, though it's possible I could have missed it developing then.
Hey ChamForums!
So I've noticed Ramona my 9mo female veiled's back left leg has a nobby brown-orange bulge around it. I first noticed it this morning when she walked onto my hand during feeding. Is this what chameleon bruising looks like? I was thinking she must have taken a tumble while...
My panther just started making this connection over the weekend. He always has to sneak up on the nozzle from below.. then he starts flicking his tongue at it like a cricket!
Hey Chris, I've read a lot of your posts around the forums and I really appreciate your suggestion. Between Stuart-Fox's CV (SO many interesting) papers, their references, and the reasonably priced Biology of Chams book, that'll keep me occupied and reading for months. Thanks for the nudge in...
This is my first time posting in this section, so hey S&C!
I'm a lab grunt working in a systems neurobiology laboratory and lately my work life and my love of chameleons has converged. I have been reading primary literature trying to learn as much as I can about the information content of...
Here's What's Working For Me
I'm in the process of taming my 4mo ambanja, and hand-feeding is the best way to earn their trust, bar none. Once the association between you and food is solid, your chams will be much less wary of your approach (just always bring a snack! :)). Skip one day of...
Hey ChamForums Community,
I'm writing because after searching previous threads, there seem to be conflicting opinions on placing chameleons in adjoining cages. My living room has a large window that receives most of the room's sunlight, so I've arranged my two cham cages next to each other...
I think it's plain to see he's just not a fan of that enclosure. The glass walls are a problem if they're on all sides.. I had a small glass enclosure when I got my first chameleon and I noticed the same behavior; clawing, preoccupation with the glass, etc. It stopped when I switched to a mesh...
Hey everybody! I was very surprised to find this beautiful sky blue Ambanja with red freckles at the NC Repticon in Raleigh last weekend. Needless to say, I couldn't leave without this good looking chap. In keeping with my trend with naming chams after Spanish neuroscientists, this little guy's...
I got a RainDome system a few months ago and I'm extremely happy with it. The dome keeps the rain spatially restricted but the mist is enough to keep an entire cage humid for the day. I have two cages with Raindomes with a T-connector splitting the flow to two lo-flow nozzles and that's enough...
PDF Here
The OP's link is now dead.. Although this conversation died a few months ago, anyone interested in reading the research article can find the PDF here:

When moving my veiled to the vet and back, I use a 1'x1'x2' plastic bin with 1" holes cut in the top and 2 small plastic vines suckered to the sides. That does the trick and is probably a more appropriate amount of room for your cham than that carrier, especially if they'll be hanging out for a...
