Curious, how are all of you doing hand feeding and what are you using. How long do you hold the food in your hand? I have been using dubia roaches, he looks at the roach in my hand, but he just leans away from me. Is there a certain amount of time you let pass before you pull the food away or...
Just wondering the steps others took when you got your chameleon. I have had my guy going on about a month now and everything seems to be going great.
I know people will say chameleons are for looks and not to be held, but I would still like to be able to take him out of the cage for cleaning...
My only thought was to use it for the first year I would have it. I had a panther before and he only lasted 2 months. This wasn't danything I did, he had problems right from the start. The shipping package was damaged all the way to his actual plastic container, he then had a problem with his...
Ok I am running into this same problem today.. I just gave him a long warm misting.. Should i get him back out of the cage to try and remove it?

It is a reptisun 5.0 tube light not cfl. It sits on the top of the cage. I have talked to the breeder and he is probably going to be sending my some medicine to try and help this guy out. Not sure of when the manufactured date is on the tube though. I just bought it 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for the responses. We think it might be something in the eye because of the way the shipping box arrived. The side was torn open and all the styrofoam was crushed and even the lid to the container he was in was crushed and off. So the elements from the trip and the news paper were all...
Just wondering if someone can tell me how to flush a chameleons eye. My guys has had problems with his left eye since I got him. I have caught him on 2 occasions within the past week were he was basking with his left eye shut. I have misted with warm water and warm showers. But, he is still...
I know this sounds bad of me. But if my house was on fire I think other things would be on my mind instead of trying to get the cage outside and possibly put more harm into myself. I have seen people do this, I am a paramedic and people really don't think about it.

Another update. I have not covered the planter dirt with mesh so the little guy can not eat it.
He has ate 3 roaches so far today and 5 yesterday, so the eating is good. I am still concerned about the drinking though. I fond another urate at the bottom of the cage and the poo looked fine...
Just to give a little update. He still will not eat out of the cup. But I did put roaches in front of him and he snagged them up.. He ate 5 in total today. He is currently sitting under the light with very dark colors. I am guessing he is trying to get as much heat as possible to help with...
Thank you for all your suggestions. I know when I first saw that urate I was worried. I will only put the feeders in in the morning and take them out at night. I had a pothos in the bottom of the cage but took it out since it was so hard to find any droppings or clean the cage. I think it...
