i guess ill have to be a peeping tom or put a camoflage tent in the bathroom to hide in! ill give her a weeks time before i try it again. hopefully shell enjoy it alot more when not so focused on my presence!

oh man that first pic looks straight out of jumanji! it doubles as awesome home decorating as well as happy chameleons :) i would love to someday free range my chams. you have a nice setup!

some chams like to eat dirt! mine included. and even if they poop it all out, it can still cause impaction over time from little pieces building up in their gutty works. and also from personal experience its easier to mist and drip without worrying about getting the substrate soaking wet which...

how much calcium/vitamins are you dusting your crickets with? and is it with or without vitamin D3? you should only dust them lightly. a few years ago my male veiled cham died from kidney failure and the first thing i noticed different about his behavior was weakened back legs since the nerves...

yeah i didnt know they would eat it but i did some research and they apparently eat rotting food scraps so i gave it a shot. they burrowed through the stems of the collards so when i went to give them fresh collards they all fell out of the old one...gross lol :P

today i looked in my tiny phoenix worms cup and was surprised to find a soldier fly. ive been feeding the worms collard greens which theve been devouring so they can grow larger and didnt realize one had pupated! i was just wondering if it would be safe to feed to my cham. id keep it around to...

very cute! ive never had a perfect tail shed before. amy must have made it special for you! i keep separate jars of shed skin from all the lizards ive kept and its fun to compare sizes within them, especially skin from feet when they were babies!! theyll never fit into those little gloves...

my female veiled thalamus is still quite shy even after 5 months of having her (unless food is involved!). i dont handle her often and when i do its for a very short period of time and i usually give her a treat to try to have her associate my presence and leaving the cage as a good thing so she...

no, theyll produce eggs without a male but theyll be infertile.

you could cover the pot of the plant with fiber glass screening, that way you can still give your plant water but the cham wont eat any dirt. lucky that your cham is a male and your dirt can be covered, mines female and she constantly eats sand from her laying bin and i havent been able to...

theyre probably dying from too much moisture in the tank. they need alot of ventilation, ive had a whole clutch of eggs die from mold that grew in the dirt they were laid in because of it. you could feed them finely grated carrots or a pureed medley of dark greens (collards, dandelion greens...

very cute! ive kept a flapneck and she was a whole lot nicer than my veileds! when she puffed up did she lift her flaps up? i love when they do that :)

aww shes beautiful. she looks like shes really enjoying herself! very sweet :)

despite her being shy for the camera, she has some lovely colors and patterns displayed! shes probably thinking, "jeeze this is embarassing, do you mind, dad?" id love to see her drinking! mine shoots her tounge at droplets as well and never gently licks from leaves lol :)

i really like the name bullseye as someone suggested. his eye turrets are crazy awesome, like a dart board!

heres something that i did with mine. i put the reptarium on two blocks of wood with a painting tray underneath. i poked a few holes in the center of the liner and the water from misting passes through the mesh of the cage and into the tray which can be easily removed for emptying. the plant and...

thats very interesting, kinyonga. maybe the females only do it for the extra calcium needed for egg production? and i guess since the sand binds bacteria i shouldnt need to worry about her poop bacteria spreading rampantly in her laying bin. ill definately cover the sand for a few weeks and...

you know youre addicted to chams when you're known by outsiders as "that girl who really likes chameleons" ..you squeal when you see pics of them or on nature programs ..when relatives/friends visit, you take them on a "cham tour" so they can see them eating bugs ..and when people you know...

nope, i havent had time yet

ok, thats good. i dont want her hungry. :) i havent been giving her many treats lately, mostly because the silkworms are so huge. i just recently purchased the reptisun not too long ago but ill make sure i replace it in 6 months. its starting to get in the 50s in jersey so its probably too cold...
