It isn't that she isn't confident in her climbing abilities. Chameleons stay still or sway slightly as a form of camoflague. They are harder to see to birds and other predators if they are still or moving slowly. Chameleons do a back and forth rocking walk that makes them seem like a leaf...

Yikes.. you didn't mention all of that. Go to the ER girl. It isn't worth messing around with :)

Google image search brown recluse bites. They are very very noticeable after 4 days. The tissue starts to die and leaves gaping holes. These are very graphic pictures.. just a warning. Black widow bites more often look like a blister but are characterized by extreme muscle pain in the...

I also have these in my superworm culture. I wasn't sure what they were either, but I know that they are just the right size for my leopard geckos and smaller chams, so I feed them off just the same. They move a lot faster than superworms or mealworms do. I hope that they are not toxic, but I...

Many reptiles will submerge themselves in water when they have parasites. I don't know exactly how true this is for chameleons, but was just a thought.

My first chameleons were a pair of veileds. The female grew way faster than the male for the first 6 months or so. Eventually of course he caught up and surpassed her size, but for a long time I wondered if he ever would!

ooohh i want one.. i am so envious!

The less time spent in transit the better, for sure. I would go with a different company if this one only ships 2nd day.

I would vote female.. the second pic shows her back feet (and lack of spur) pretty clearly. Good luck with her! I have always been partial to females :)

I probably wouldn't feed my chameleons wild caught house flies. There is no telling what they have been eating or what parasites they could pass on to your cham. Ever noticed how flies are always around garbage and rotting food? You wouldn't want to feed either of those to your chameleon and...

Did you have them in a closed container? Crickets do well with a lot of ventilation. It seems like too much humidity and not enough air kills there quickest here. I mostly use an oversized tupperware container with the lid and sides completely cut out and screened and it seems to work well...

I am in Kentucky.. also just outside of Cincinnati.

And also be sure to move slowly because on the way out the chameleon will wrap his/her tail around branches and a quick jerk could break it :)

Towels under the cage are much better than water on the floor ;)

I wouldn't recommend letting your dripper drip into a plant. Eventually the plant's roots will rot and the smell will be HORRIBLE (i learned this the hard way with my very first chameleon). It also harbors bacteria and fungui that can cause breathing and other health problems for your...

He is about the size of my 4 month old.. he looks good.. healthy and spunky.. good job!

Usually the general opinion is that a veiled chameleon or a panther chameleon are the easiest to care for. Veileds eat a LOT, are easily obtained and inexpensive, and are very tempermental. Panthers are good eaters as well, but not nearly as voracious as veileds, are fairly expensive, and...

I wouldn't risk it. What I do is get a grapevine wreath at Wal-Mart or a craft store like Michael's and soak it in the bath tub in hot water until the vines are softened enough to unwind and then place them in the cage, attaching with cable ties. They dry out and stay in the position that you...

I am sure it is possible.. but with the way chameleons drink I am sure that you would waste a whole lot of money trying :) If you could just squeeze a few drops in a bowl it would be different, but trying to place enough in a dripper or mister so that the chameleon would get the correct amount...

You need something in the egg laying chamber that is sturdy enough to hold a tunnel when she digs without collapsing on her. I use a mixture of moist play sand and organic soil. I don't have much experience with coco coir except in my pygmie tanks but from that limited experience I don't think...
