Maybe this idea is completely crazy, but here goes . . . please critique it thoroughly! We have an unfinished bathroom upstairs in our house (we've been remodeling). Currently, there's only a toilet in that room; eventually, there will be a sink, tub, and enclosed shower as well, but it's...

I need to ask a dumb question . . . DH & I are planning a cham enclosure and we're complete newbies. We got an appliance tray to put under the base of the screen cage, but when I look at all your drainage set-ups, I see 5-gallon buckets, sinks, big tubs . . . I have a very strong suspicion that...

For a juvenile veiled chameleon, 16 x 16 x 30 is good, but the appropriate size really depends upon the type of chameleon you're getting. If you click on Resources at the top of your screen, then on "Caresheets" on the left side, you'll find you can access caresheets for a variety of chams...

Olimpia, thanks for this info: I've been feeding our crickets for our FBTs green jello cubes and a dry Fluker's mix + grated carrot, but your suggestions sound much better! I keep coming back to this forum and exploring because I keep learning valuable information--thank you! BTW, just...

Truly will be a mansion! I look forward to seeing more pics as you progress; I'm learning from you! Sandy

We just got ours a couple of days ago; I was able to show it to my DH yesterday before rushing off to my youngest son's birthday party. The calendar is GORGEOUS! Extremely well done, fabulous photos, top quality! Thanks to everyone who shared photos for it; the competition must have been...

vgaines said, I feel the same way. I bought crickets ONCE from PetsMart. They were enclosed in a plastic bag (fish bag, as someone noted) with no food or hydration source. Two were dead by the time I arrived home (a 15-minute trip). I immediately began gut-loading overnight. The next morning...

I'm happy to see those tall enclosures! Sure would love to see pics of chams . . . and where did you say you're located? Asia is HUGE.

Very cool introduction! I love all your pics, your art work, and the fact that you are also a snake-keeper! I am, too. I am not going to try to upload pics at the moment, as I'm *supposed* to be eating breakfast and getting ready for another herper to come pick up a corn snake I've been...

I'm also still wondering where you are that you can house chams outside year round, but even more, I'm wondering what species of chams you have housed in those small enclosures shown in your pic? According to the great care sheet provided on this forum, Furcifer pardalis adults need a 24" x...

Zoo vet? If she broke her spine, oxytocin might not be of any help either, as the nerves for sending the "lay eggs" signal may be too damaged. I am soooo sorry this has happened; what a horrifying thing for you and your cham!

Seems he's looking for some greens in his diet; offering a variety will help prevent all kinds of problems by ensuring good nutrition. Good luck!

I'm so sorry it came to this . . . good luck! I hope this helps Bodhi feel & do much better from here on out!

I hope neither the kids nor their parents suffer too much emotionally; what a horrible, frightening thing to occur! I was so glad to read that the ultimate tragedy did NOT occur in this case. My heart goes out to all of the parents who had children at that school! Sandy

What a wonderful rescue story! As another rescue "mom," I love rescue success stories! I just wish they could ALL be successes . . . Congratulations on the success of all your hard work! Sandy

Wow. I'm just learning about chams, but I've already read repeatedly that they are healthier when kept solitary, and individuals need a lot of space. Combine that with the special humidity and other husbandry requirements, I can't begin to imagine either how much space you'd need or how much...

Jish and speedy, thanks for posting those pics! My DH & I are researching chams before getting one (after trying unsuccessfully to save one we rescued, we want to know a LOT more before getting another), and your pics are really very helpful, as I would have freaked the first time one shed if I...

From what I've been reading, I would be concerned about feeding that much D3; I've been told calcium with D3 no more than twice a week for a veiled (and maybe less), and it sounds like you're feeding double D3 with every feeding. However, as I am also an extreme novice with chams, here is a...

Thank you for posting this. As a newbie planning for a male chameleon, this is excellent information that will help keep me from worrying about this aspect of male chams! Sandy

Actually, to be accurate as well as to prevent blaming anyone here for the misinformation, Kammerflage Kreations is the original source of the conflation of phosphor and phosphorus! Sorry I didn't make that clear to my DH; I will do that in just a moment. Sandy
