No it was in Calgary

Thanks guys.... I appreciate your kind words.

A girl I know had a chameleon dumped at her petstore. She, after taking care of him for 7 months, started noticing stress signs (casque was sinking in, shedding weekly?) and decided to see if she could find him another home. That home was mine. He was with me for a month. I am overwhelmed...

2 dogs - Luna and Suzie 1 Cat - Onyx 1 Budgie - Birdie 1 Veiled Chameleon - William Murderface Three Goldfish and one plecostomas - no names.

I am totally grossed out by superworms and use tweezers to put them in the feeding cup. Crickets are pretty non-threatening to me, but if one walks on me it does gross me out a little. One time I woke up to one walking on my face! I won't actually touch any other types of worms, butter and...

My chameleon pooped in his feeding dish once, so I put a new one in and he continued to poop in the old one, like a toilet. It was pretty handy for cleanup!:D

Sorry, this made me LOL ! He's got like hard german trance playing in the background, too. :D CHeck this out; http://americanmushrooms.com/lawnandgarden.htm The two that they name as common for houseplants look really yellow, though.

I definitely use the water for my houseplants, but I would be leery of using it on veggies that I would eventually eat. Organic fertilizers are usually broken down materials whereas chameleon poo water would be just chameleon poo water. But, I am a mild germ-o-phobe, so you can take what I...

I felt the same way about Veiled Chams, but now I have one and I am glad I do! He is a total contrast to my panther chameleon (rip). They can be quite beautiful, too!

Well, he has arrived! I think I'm going to name him Fluffy. He is not totally aggressive, but is stressed out when I am near the cage. The girl said she tried to "help" his shedding, so I can see that could cause some of his fear. I had to do A LOT of cleaning; some parts of his vines...

I think many people on this board can attest to the fact that each chameleon has a different personality, regardless of the species. Some have super nice Veiled Chams, some have agressive Panthers. So, it is possible one of your chameleons is more laid back than the other.

I was definitely thinking a shower would do him some good :) And I do have a reptisun 5.0 from my previous chameleon still, so I will be using that. It's only about 2-3 months old so I have a few more months I can get out of it. Thanks Guys! I will post pictures of him post-shower on sunday

A girl I know, works in a petshop had a Chameleon surrendered to her. She asked if I could take him in since I have chameleon experience. She was going to keep him, but she is going through renovations in her house and it is a poor environment for him to be in. SHe sent me photos...

:confused: When they puff up and their chins puff out? My vet called it a beard... I saw that you took your cham to the vet, but didn't read that you got a second opinion, thats why i suggested. I'm not criticizing... Anyway, Good luck with figuring this out!

I am not a vet, but the area looks like the back/bottom of his throat. I think you mentioned when he would open his mouth before, that it would be a big gaping hole. When they gape on their own, they also stretch out their beards. Maybe since you are forcing his mouth open, he is not stretching...

That probably explains it. His body was tired but since the "sun" was still up he had his eyes open? :)

I would LOVE to go!! I did a little reading today, seeing what travel there would entail. Everything seems decent from what I've read on travel sites. I did however, find this: http://www.voyage.gc.ca/countries_pays/report_rapport-eng.asp?id=168000 Avoid non-essential travel OFFICIAL...

I would go insane if I got angry about every grammatical/spelling error I notice; they are EVERYWHERE. (most likely within my post, too!) :p I don't claim perfection by any means; however, I don't understand how a person doesn't see how idiotic they seem when they can't even spell simple...

I fell victim to the Fogger and Waterfall's allure when I first started. But the lesson learned was both were an incredible waste of money; especially if you've got hard water, like we do in Calgary. The waterfall was like a fancy toilet for my chameleon, he ONLY pooped in it and nowhere else...

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. Bert and I said our last goodbyes this morning. He was a beautiful creature and I will miss him dearly. I may not be around as often, but I will surely be back if, in the future, I am blessed by another chameleon. Thanks again, guys... You're all...
