Hi! chameleonforums.com has a list of plants here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/plants/ However, just looking for apple (Malus domestica), I was unable to find it, so I went farther afield. One of my favorite lists of safe and harmful plants for herps is published by anapsid.org...

My DH and I are in the process of building a big screened enclosure with a fairly heavy base, and we felt being able to move the enclosure easily might be a good plan--we never know what the future holds! He wanted something fast, so I bought four small furniture moving dollies from Harbor...

Augustine, the enclosure is really beautiful! You're off to a great start! Your tree appears to be some type of Draecena. If it is, I believe that while the trunks will slowly grow thicker, the leaves won't grow sturdier, so they'll always sag under the weight of a chameleon. I don't believe...

Great thread! I really appreciate all the links to comprehensive explanations, research papers, and photos and diagrams! The photo Trace provided really makes the hyoid clear in the living chameleon. Thanks for all the contributions everyone made--this is one of my favorite threads due to the...

That was fun to watch--thanks so much for sharing, Dave! Sandy

ROFLMAO!!! Nah, don't worry so much; posting is like casual conversation! Your letter is much more a formal kind of thing, so being formal is good there, but not on the forum posts--we'd all get intimidated! :)

You got it, though you may wish you hadn't! The English teacher in me jumped out--but before you worry, I will say that it was very well written to begin with! I'm just a little nit-picky. Good luck with this!

OK--forewarning: I am a certified "English as a Second Language" grammar instructor, so I sometimes considered a little (tongue-in-cheek) nuts about grammar. On the other hand, I do not yet own a chameleon, so I am a complete novice in that regard. That being said, I have some suggestions...

Yes, everything is clean. But there are SO MANY animals, and so many are improperly housed--birds with no perches, cages inside of cages, water bowls but no food . . . While I'm glad Olimpia assured us that it wasn't graphic in the sense of blood and guts--I was afraid to watch the video...

Oh, definitely! But I want to do it RIGHT by preparing everything in advance of obtaining the cham. That's always my preferred method of pet ownership, though sometimes I'm forced to get onto a high and super-fast learning curve if it's a rescue situation. Right now I have the luxury of taking...

Sounds great! I've Liked you! Your FB page looks good, too!

Oh, wow. Of COURSE this is so, but I'd never thought of it in connection with MY clothing! I will keep this in mind when we get our cham! Another great thread for learning--thanks for saying this explicitly, as I wouldn't ever have thought of it by myself. Such important information! Sandy

You and me both!! This is a wonderful forum! I love the friendly, helpful, and respectful attitudes of the members here, and I am having a blast learning from everyone! Thanks for sharing, Virginia! Sandy

Hmmm . . . if you google "organic garden nursery" a bunch come up. Some of them won't ship, but there might be one located near you. As I don't know where you are, I can't help you as effectively as you could help yourself on this one--sorry! Good luck!

LOL! It happens; in this case, two of us posting on that info will help Swordfish9921 realize that it's very important! Good for you! Sandy

I've been the crazy snake lady in our neighborhood for 23+ years and in parts farther away for about 10--first, I taught my boys how to catch snakes safely, let them bring WC snakes home and keep them, etc. Their friends and the neighborhood kids would come over bringing new friends or cousins...

Oh, another great learning thread--I've been wondering how to clean up a couple of tanks, one of which was Lea's (rescue cham who didn't make it, for those who haven't heard of her). I wouldn't want to use those tanks for chams--they aren't appropriate--but for Phelsumas and I've wondered--...

What size screen habitat are you getting? You might also consider getting live plants, such as Schefflera, pothos (Epipremnum), and Ficus benjamina; they'll help with humidity maintenance and with a green food source (esp. the pothos); at least, some chams really like their greens! ;) You'll...

Ah, Draconia13, we didn't want to hear that--it's such a tragedy! I wish that sellers would err on the safe side about selling and shipping when it's safest for the cham's health. Shipping is always going to be stressful, but if the cham is in excellent condition to begin with and the new owner...

Graphic content warning! Reptilelove18 posted, Smart plan! I feel quite certain she can eat an adult mouse, though maybe not a jumbo. A regular-sized adult mouse can run between 19-20 to 24-25 grams, so that's a pretty good size for her. Switching to F/T can be a little challenging with BPs...
