    Silly sleeping spots

    Herbert has been passed out like this for a few hours now. Don't know why he thought this was the best spot, but he's out cold and displaying his usual pajamas. Only time that he ever slept upside down. Share you're sleeping chameleon pics if you have any good ones!

    Will chameleons shoot out their tongue at an object to gauge it's distance?

    That's what I thought at first, then he climbed up into the lamp after flicking the knob. Then weeks later, he did it to the lamp shade that doesn't look anything like food and had no insects on it. Then proceeded to reach for the lamp shade... Using the tongue to approximate distance was the...

    Will chameleons shoot out their tongue at an object to gauge it's distance?

    He's not actually on the bulb and he didn't get burnt. The bulb is also a CFL that has a big ceramic base and runs way cooler than a standard incandescent. (Fun fact: incandescent bulbs are inefficient and waste 95% of the electricity to heat output. Only about 5% of the energy is used to...

    Will chameleons shoot out their tongue at an object to gauge it's distance?

    I've noticed Herbert shooting his tongue out at nearby objects that don't resemble food or have any insects on them. He was on top of his cage and was eyeing up a lamp shade that's about 9-10 inches away. Before trying to reach for it, he shot his tongue out at it a couple of times. Another time...

    do chameleons yawn?

    My male veiled chameleon Herbert does the exact same thing every morning after turning on his lights. Within minutes, he'll let out a big yawn or two, puff all the way up, and then do the body shake where he curves it into an s shape for a brief second. We call the body shake his "war dance" and...

    my mean little monster

    You are always going to get people like jajeanpierre on here. Instead of offering you some helpful advice, he insults your abilities to care for your animal. I'm a newer member and proud owner of Herbert. He's about 10 months old now, and also got a little grumpy once or twice when he was a...

    Silly Chameleon

    My veiled Herbert will cling to the front or walk on the bottom and do laps. When I see him doing this, I know that he wants out. I simply just open the door for him and he either climbs up and hangs out on top of his cage or he climbs down and goes exploring in the living room. He normally...

    My male Veiled yawning....

    Herbert yawns every morning within minutes of turning on his lights. He yawns, puffs up really big, and then curls his body for a brief second. He also does this a couple times throughout the day. I'm assuming that he does it to show all of the other chameleons out there that this is his...

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    Is that your veiled in your profile pic? And are those his natural colors or is there a light causing the blue color? Regardless, beautiful looking chameleon. Did you purchase it from an online breeder with a certain bloodline or did you just luck out with a very colorful one? I appreciate your...

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    Considering that he was a little goldfish "rescued" from county fair 5 years ago and then grew into a healthy adult goldfish in that very bowl, I'd say he's doing just fine. I regularly change his water and clean his bowl. He is thriving and will continue to do so for many years to come.

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    If he "fell asleep" on my hand during the middle of the day or when the lights are on in the living room, I would agree with you. He only sleeps on our hand at night when we turn off the lights in the room. He obviously enjoys the body heat. You think that it's a coincidence that he turns the...

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    Guess what. I don't have a dog. I don't have a cat. I have a goldfish and chameleon. My wife and I treat them like our children. The five year old goldfish is doing great and didn't get eaten. The chameleon isn't diseased from goldfish water or dying of mouth rot. He doesn't burn himself on his...

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    Well pet doctor Phil, I have observed Herbert since he was a baby little green guy. During the last 10 months, I have spent countless hours observing him while in his cage, on top of his cage, and exploring the living room. I know that he starts to put himself to bed every night around 9-10pm...

    Herbert tries to eat his goldfish brother

    Thanks man. The video was meant to be funny. I feel like most of the people that replied worry way too much. He is obviously healthy and enjoying himself. I've had iguanas, geckos, anoles, turtles, and a 72g bow front saltwater reef tank with all kinds of corals, exotic fish, and inverts. The...
