    Cham loses toe nails

    We learn something new everyday it seems. I guess I didn't think of it. The sun is on the side in the morning and evening so I didn't think it would matter. But the experts are smarter than me, they have been doing it a lot longer than me. I value they're advice.

    Cham loses toe nails

    We went to the vet right away when it happened. She cleaned it up and said the same thing. Champ has been doing great since then. Thanks for the advice!

    Watering your chameleon

    Mine won't drink from misting but loves the dripper. You can build a dripper or buy one at the store pretty cheap. That could help. Make the dripper so it drops on several leafs on it's way down. I had a problem with humidity until I put live plants in the enclosure. Ben

    Cham loses toe nails

    There are a lot of people who do the same, works great but I don't like the look. I suppose I am a little stuck up but looks are important to me. The main thing is to keep them from ripping toe nails out.
