Fantastic! I look forward to watching him grow!

Just a couple more thoughts - I've been keeping lizards of different sorts for over 30 years, and have dealt with impaction a couple times. If he's truly impacted, he'll stop eating. Everything comes to a stop - if the waste can't leave, there's no room for more. The fact that he is still...

From other posts I've read it's normal behavior, although it's not exactly clear why they do it. My Cham is 6 months old and does this as well, typically when I'm misting him. Just make sure there isn't any loose bark he can swallow (it sounds like you already have), and don't worry about it.

Any common hardwood (like cottonwood) should be safe. I own several different reptiles - I've kept Iguanas for 40 years. I regularly use branches from outside, and I don't bake them. If the bark isn't loose or peeling, I leave the bark on as well. It has never caused any of my reptiles...

I also have an Iguana named Bob Dole. Because he's old and cantankerous.

Not enough - there is one in Corning, about 2 hours South at the end of this month, and another in Buffalo in May. I haven't seen any the past three months. :(

I live in Western NY, none of my local pet stores carry hornworms or silkworms. I have the same problem - this winter has been very cold, with many weeks with high temperatures in the teens. I stopped shipping when I started losing half or more due to freezing. I even tried picking up at the...

What they said :) One more thought...if his mouth is open only when you are near him, it could be he's trying to threaten you/scare you off. Chameleons will sometimes puff themselves up and "gape" with their mouths open when they are frightened. As the others already said, it also could be...

GREAT looking chameleons!!!

Just amazing! What a fantastic looking Cham!

He is definitely not an infant at 5 months. Depending on his size, he will probably do fine with 1/2" crickets. I aslo fed mine smaller size superworms and hornworms when I first got him. I got my Chameleon also from Crazy Eyes Chams (his father is also Sulu) in early February at about 5...

AWESOME! Good luck!

He's 7 and a half months :-)

I just use a cup that is deep enough that the crickets can't jump out - about 5" deep. He has no problem picking them out of the cup. I do hand feed, he'll pick crickets off my fingers, or superworms from the palm of my hand.

Any wide or full spectrum fluorescent light will do, but it needs to be reasonably close to the plant - within a few feet. With the exception of pothos, which will tolerate over-watering, water once a week until water runs through the pot/out the bottom. Let the soil dry out between waterings...

I can attest this works Brian - I've got one of your Sulu/Ahura babies - he is taking crickets right off of my hand, and is very calm!

My 5 month old does this as well - he gnaws on the stump ends of his Schefflera plant where it's been pruned.

Just purchased an Ambilobe from Crazy Eye Chams, he's beautiful, and doing great :-)

Awesome, Brian! My guy is doing great, and starting to get more orange/red every day. He's very calm, and eats like a (tiny) horse! -Mike
