I agree that your guy is needing some serious upgrading. That is probably also why he’s fallen. We would love to help you and your fella make the needed improvements so that you share many healthy and happy years together. :)

Hi. So sorry that your fella isn’t doing well. Unfortunately, at 5 years he’s an older chameleon, and it’s difficult to know what is best to do. Getting some labs drawn may give you an idea of what is going on and how best to proceed. Infections can cause what you describe and be relatively...

Hi. You’ll need to find someone to come in to feed and check on him. I recently had a problem when my neighbor had to back out of watching mine at last minute. I checked with the nearby vet clinics, but it was a young guy who works at a pet supply store that was able to watch them. I did set up...

I’ve seen mine do it a couple of times. Shedding is itchy business. Usually though I find they rub their heads or faces against a branch.

You’re not a bad chameleon Mom…you just have a healthy active little one who is having her fun. :) Just elevate your lights by a few inches until she becomes too big to walk upside down anymore. Also, we can plan and design and set everything up so perfectly, but the chameleon is going to use...

Beautiful lady and love the cute curly-whirly. 🤗

Hi! :) Do you mean she’s walking upside down on the screen top? That is a pretty normal thing for little ones who can. The main concern is it places her at risk for burns from the lights. Until she’s too big to walk upside down you’ll want to raise the lights off the screen top by a few inches...

@jannb do you know of any good vets in South Florida? I know Dr Mader has retired and I just looked up Dr Strauss, and he’s retired too.

This is something that panther chameleons do from time to time. I’m not sure why we don’t mention it more, but it is a normal thing that some males do. All of my panther boys have gone thru these periods of pallor…I call it ‘the blahs’. It has lasted for a few months and then all of sudden, as...

I think I recall that you said that you’re in Florida. For central Florida, a fantastic vet, Dr Bogoslavsky, just retired a couple of weeks ago and it is truly a huge loss for the chameleon community here (at least imo). I went to...

I’m so sorry for the poor little girl. 🥺 She’s at peace now.

I’m sure there’s probably some technical way to adjust it, but I just take the old person way and screenshot the pic I want to use. 😂

Thanks Becca! I love it! 🥰 💗 🥰💗

Since getting a new phone a few months ago, I just about always get the same message when trying to post pics taken with it.

I love this time of year and getting our chams ‘dressed up’. 🥰 Here’s my sweet Lucky.

Do you use just a dripper for hydration or do you mist too? For an easy diy dripper, you can poke a pin hole in the bottom of a plastic party type cup. You should still be misting for at least two minutes twice a day - right before lights go on and off. Plus, if your night temps are below at...

With all reptiles and probably every other animal, never ever use calcium sand. The way it is shaped, it clumps together if ingested and forms impactions. Regular washed play sand is much better. If that is ingested, it is more likely to be able to pass naturally and not cause impaction. I...

Yes, definitely put her in a hospital bin. It’s just a plastic bin with a plant (preferably something with vines, like pothos) that she can hold on to and drink from and maybe a small branch or two for her to hold on to. If she is needing additional heat during the day, be very very careful to...

After using some scrap garden trellis when in a pinch, I found it’s actually really a great option. You can get a panel or even half panel cheap from Home Depot or Lowe’s (some even come in colors), cut to size, sand the sharp edges smooth and attach. I drilled tiny holes in the trellis where I...

Yeah, and then you can have stray isopods falling on your head. ☂️
