I fortunately or unfortunately has only one dedicated store in my area and it is Reptile Depot. I first found them on the web and store photos looked great. However, when I visited the store I was shocked. Cages are dirty, chameleons cages are not taken car of at all. All plants are almost dead...

Thanks for all the replies. I will monitor the situation.

So far he has not eaten anything today also. here are couple of photos I took today. This is him in relaxed state. The branch he is on is new. It is not right under the basking light but next to it. Since I placed that branch he spends 90% of the time on it. He only moves from it when...

I notice that when I get close to him, or when I try to pick him up he puffs a little bit. When he is not bothered he looks smaller.

I was dusting with calcium every day and D3 once every two weeks and supplements once I month. I probably switch it calcium once I week, D3 once I month and supplements once every to month.

I think the temps are OK, In fact I see him sometimes clinging to the cage right under the heat lamp. Where do I get mantids?

How do see from the pictures that he has edema?

So, he did not eat today also. I looked on the web to see if I can find any reasons why and found this site. http://webhome.idirect.com/~chameleon/owners/chapter5-sub4.html The only explanation that is would make sense is this one: Hunger Strikes Causes: When your chameleon stops...

Sorry I misspoke. I have the 40 Watt bulb. I started with 65 and replaced it with 40. I also have the laser thermometer and I have not seen his body temp going more the 85 degrees, which I think is OK for him. Most of the time his body temp is in mid 70s.

Can you tell me if this guy looks OK to you? I got him about two month ago and everything was OK. About a week or maybe little more I noticed that he was not eating much. He would still eat but not as many crickets as before. He started to shed, so I thought may be that is why he was not eating...

Another MistKing question I finally got one and it is awesome. I have two questions. 1. How many times per day and how long I should mist my Jackson cham? 2. I got the ultimate version of mistking and it came with the timer. I configured the Date and Time, programmed ON/OFF times and set...

I have Jackson cham and he is shedding right now for the first time in almost two month and I have not seen him eat. The same amount of crickets I place in the morning, I take out at night. I am hopping that he is not eating because he is shedding. I did see him drink though.

Does he needs to get the direct sunlight or even if he is not in the direct sunlight he will get enough UVB? Because I have the perfect spot for him. The area is in the open, but it does not get any sunlight. The area I am talking is indicated by the red arrow in the attached image. You can...

The watering will not be an issue. I will set the Mistking to mist every hour for 5 min. I can also set the cage under the roof of the patio or in the mostly shaded area. I can leave the UVB light just kn case there is not enough sun.

My backyard is locked all the time, so I am not worried about it being stolen. Do you keep the UVB light? "You will want the cage to catch morning sun." I get the sun in my backyard from about 10am. Is that good enough?

Is it safe to keep the chameleon outside during the warm months. I live in Los Angeles and starting around March and through October/November it is pretty warm. I would like to keep my 18x18x36 cage outside. This way the cham can get sunlight, fresh air and I could set the kingmist to mist every...

I have a Jackson also and I was told mine was about 5 to 6 month old. The picture is here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/new-owner-jackson-chameleon-35082/

So about 3 weeks ago a bought 25 medium to small horn worms. The first time I placed the worm in the cage, the cham did not know what it is and what to do with it. But, after about couple of minutes he gobbled it down. I placed one more and he ate that one too. For the next couple of days I was...

I'll take thing slowly, maybe take it out once a week. I have a Jackson and I know when hs is stressing. He turns dark green.

I have had the chameleon for a month now and I try not to handle him. When I open the cage to feed him or clean the cage, I try not to spook him and when he feels spooked, he will climb down the plant away from me. I read that there are a lot of chameleon owners handle their chams at least once...
