Ehdee, your parent can send me a PM and their cell # if they want to call with you on the phone to ask questions. I’m just a normal dad of 3 kids from Philadelphia. Good luck!

I just read that you’re a minor. Never mind I wouldn’t ask people on online forums for their phone numbers.

Go ahead tease everyone with your priceless, precious little dinosaurs

My advice would be to have a buddy system and find someone with 10 years experience to field questions through your chameleon keeping journey, like a mentor

Wahoo I just watched Cera eat a super worm from a cup! She shot her tongue about 3” and did it very slowly but that’s good progress!

Sometimes they see their reflection in the glass. I can’t tell if that enclosure is against a wall or not but I try to put my enclosures in a corner of the room, so they feel more secure in their surroundings. Ideally you want an enclosure in such a way that they see you coming, and you don’t...

I just mix Arcadia Earth Pro and Repashy Calcium Plus LoD at a ratio of 13-2 so I don’t mess anything up. That’s because I feed adults every other day (15 feedings a month). It was really easy to do.

They really are!

Hey just a little update, the chameleons are REALLY activated by these drippers. They targeted the drippers directly, not the leaves where the drops fell. WOW. I took out the drippers and I’m switching to these soft rubber hoses which will be more tongue friendly.

This method requires no check valve. It’s wide open. I’m using filtered water so calcium deposits don’t clog it, that’s it.

I thought of doing this over a year ago and just never followed through. I have plenty of experience with aquariums and thought these air stones would make great irrigation drippers. Now I’m kicking myself for waiting so long, it works great! Everyone has a little dripper. So get...

I am going to try that today. She isn’t taking the initiative on her own, even when I put bugs right in front of her so I’ll try putting a small silkworm in her mouth and see if she chews it

When I harvest new branches I take my razor blade and shave down any sharp nubs. I honestly didnt see the injury occur. I can only speculate what happened. We can’t bubble wrap them but when I free range grasshoppers I’ll just pull their back legs off and put them in a cup too

Hoppers don’t stay in cups (or shooting galleries) unless you remove their back legs. This little girl was used to free range bugs for 18 months and did not want to use the cup. Ugh. Rick free ranges bugs but only uses smooth dowels with schefflera to avoid injuries. So if you have...

Talking to you and Rick really helped with that decision. You and Rick have hearts of gold and are very much appreciated

Cera is drinking well today

It happened so fast. I noticed her tongue like that and then about 20 minutes later she collapsed like this on the branch. I immediately started packing for the vet. So scary. And no kidding, just two minutes later she was walking around fine, but I still took her to get evaluated...

WARNING - The embedded video is very graphic and may disturb some viewers. This 18 month old female Parsons (Cera) has been in my care for just a month, and has an injured tongue. She’s small for her age at only 74 grams but is in good health. All indications are that her tongue got caught...

What a strange shed! The onesie retracted back into a diaper. I took this while she was sleeping. Can’t wait to see if it keeps retracting to the tail.

I can’t believe this velvety shed. It’s like an entire white sock coming off. Or like when a kid wears a sheet to dress as a ghost for Halloween! She got dark and very wrinkly which had me worried. I’m still getting my bearings for what’s her “normal”. I know veiled and panther chams...
