Anyhow..... Back to the MBD veiled... This veiled can live a good life and with someone who cares. He's deformed, but he can survive just fine. I have actually seen worse. When the bones are like mush and the animal can't eat or drink and can't pull the tongue back into his mouth all the way...

Does your chameleon like woodlice? If so, they are easy to breed. Make a colony of them and raise the babies up for your chameleon. I'm doing it with pillbugs (isopods) and within a week there are a lot of babies. I started off with about 100 adults that I found in my garden. Here's a...

I love the johnstoni but also like the fuelleborni and merumontanus too. Johnstoni being the easier of the three, I'd chose that one.

A little OT but I have to say it... I can't believe I missed all of this. I just want to thank everyone for the supportive comments above. It means a lot to me. Thank you!

This is really nice! I love seeing creative enclosures like this.

He might figure it out but he also may try to eat feeders through the bowl. So maybe just try it out for a while and see. Have an alternate bowl handy if you notice a problem. Today I saw my rudis try to shoot at a fly in the cage next to her. There wasn't a chameleon in there to eat it...

I keep all of mine in a greenhouse. The greenhouse is attached to the guesthouse which is no longer a guesthouse but a workshop for this hobby. :) I LOVE CHAMELEONS! I feel better.

I use vermiculite for the females to lay their eggs. The crickets and the eggs they come from never touch dirt (or soil). Also, I would recommend the water crystals or apple or piece of watermelon rind, rather than a sponge. You will be able to throw it away when it dries out. With a...

Rob, I missed this???!!! Wow, congratulations! I know you are really happy about it. I hope everyone is hatching or that they will before too long. The waiting is the hardest part! Who said that? lol

LOL! Somebody has been thinking about greenhouses.

Look at it this way, a greenhouse like that can be used to grow herbs and flowers all year round. It is a great way to keep you happy and busy when the weather is cold and dreary. I am in my greenhouse half of the day every day because of the chameleons. But I also love to garden and love...

Laurie, A lot of people make greenhouses on a tight budget and most wouldn't hold any amount of snow. If you are seriously considering building a greenhouse at some point, then you should consider something of this quality (http://www.hartley-greenhouses.com/) and just have some of the...

They're really skittish and funny little chams. Hope you enjoy him. :)

Hi Tiff, I bought a Mulberry tree last year. It's the white mulberry that flowers. I grow mine in a very large pot because they can take a lot of room. My tree is bare all winter but starts leafing out as soon as it gets warmer. I'm feeding my silkworms just on the leaves that are...

My error! I mixed up this post with a PM I got. Sorry about that. But still, this kind of response is so unhelpful and insulting. We see a lot of that here and it gets old.

Very basic. One of the vets I use says most of his clients come in and have the same issues over and over again. Lighting is always wrong, diet is always insufficient, etc. He says he spends 45 minutes going through the basic husbandry questions so wanted me to come up with a care sheet that...

Donna, please think about your posts before you send them. This is a chameleon that has been sick and has been to the vet a number of times.

Awwww, Chameo. :) What a great name.

Do you have a cage with a lot of foliage? They really need to be able to hide. Here's what I know about their temperament. Healthy normal montiums are jumpy and skittish and will try to bite. Very rare cases in which they won't. Captive bred are the same way. Captive hatched, same...

Very likely he has parasites or is fighting some sort of infection. I've only seen that happen with chameleons that have one or the other.
