Man, she must have been really lonely :p.

Depends on a number of things. Age, species, sex, just to name a few.

I put holes in the PVC of all three of my cages.

I got the pump sprayer from Wal-Mart for 10 dollars and the steam cleaner from Walgreens for 24 dollars.

I use a pump sprayer and a steam cleaner, both I found at Wal-Mart at good prices. I spray all the plants with water using the pump sprayer, in order to move debris (i.e. poop!). Then I use the steam cleaner and pump sprayer to clean the cage and remove debris. It works really well and makes...

I'm really not to sure what caused the death of your other chameleons, but I am sorry for your losses. Here are some tips for where you can improve on your husbandry. First, offer higher quality feeders (continually feeding mealworms can put your cham at risk for impaction) and superworms are...

Good luck, I hope everything turns out well. I commend you a great deal for taking on the challenges of rescuing chameleons, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be.

Well it has been a week since Xany's last panacur treatment, so I am looking for a good exotics vet to take a fecal test and exam. Anyone have some recommendations?

I really like your setups, you do a great job. Keep it up.

Post some pictures of him and his setup, I'm interested to see what you have. My carpet was also avid about climbing on the screen, adding more vines and climbing structures helped solve that problem.

What kind of chameleon is it?

The fountains are definitely a bad idea because they easily collect bacteria. How long are you misting for? What are your humidity levels at before and after misting?

Here is my blog entry about the experience I had with coil bulb exposure, there is also a link at the end of it that provides evidence to back up my claims. The problem with coil bulbs is that they emit rays at a much more unstable rate. Some people do use them and have not encountered...

You should tell them to just get rid of the plants. For example, the syngonium plant is packed with calcium oxalate crystals which can cause swelling of the lips and tongue. If not treated soon, the symptoms can progressively worsen and lead to a closing of the throat. Theres no reason to be...

This is a very important question. My female veiled died from coil bulb exposure and she had all the symptoms your chameleon is currently showing. Take your chameleon to the vet asap, best of luck to you.

That is very unfortunate, sorry for your loss. That's not entirely true. Although they do not have a big color palette as say a panther, they still can get very colorful. In the sun my rudis displays brilliantly vibrant green, yellows and blues.

What makes you think he enjoys handling/"interaction"? He is puffing up and hissing in order to defend himself and therefore perceives you to be a threat, which in turn causes stress. Chameleons that tolerate human interaction, will not perceive us as threats and therefore will not hiss or...

Plant number one is a Heartleaf Philodendron, which are toxic to animals/humans. They do look similar to Pothos plants and can be easily misidentified. But the red sheath on the plant vine is a dead give away that your plant is a Heartleaf Philodendron. Plant number two looks like a lucky...

Feeding fruits and veggies to your chameleon directly, is not a necessity. Some chameleons will avidly eat these foods, however others are not so interested (i.e. all my chameleons). Instead I would focus on using veggies as a gutload for feeders. A properly gutloaded feeder will surely pass...

Does anyone have a profile on "The Spot" http://animal.discovery.com/the-spot/? I don't know much about it, but apparently you post pictures of your animals and you can win a chance of having them shown on TV. I think one of the many beautiful chams on this site, could have a chance of...
