Boooooooooo!

In your opinion, what's the most underrated chameleon species and why do you think that is? I'd have to say the senegalensis complex has to be the most underrated group of chameleons-I've heard they're sometimes regarded as a 'throwaway' species.

This is a fairly straightforward question-do you think it's possible at all that we might go a little overboard with attributing human traits to our chameleons and stuff like that? I don't want to be mean, but I'm just curious about what you all think.

It's the same with Handsome Jack-I just let him call the shots. I don't force him to do anything he doesn't want to. Except if he decided to take a field trip, in which case I'd coax him onto and off of my finger and let him take his sweet time.

A few weeks ago, I adopted Buttercup the budgie and Skeeter the cockatiel from a local shelter, and I decided to rename them Ren and Stimpy, respectively. Does anyone else on this forum keep parrots?

What I kinda want to do is see how trusting everyone's chameleons are. Can you give your chameleon's name and species, and how much it trusts you? I'll start-my only chameleon's name is Handsome Jack, he's a Trioceros jacksonii xantholophus, and he trusts me about as much as I think he ever...

My little guy's name is Handsome Jack, but I think other chams have that name.

My dad got me The Biology of Chameleons for Christmas! Who all else got chameleon books and stuff for Christmas?

Handsome Jack was my first and currently only "full size" chameleon. I'd say Jackson's are probably marginally harder to care for then Veiled chams due to their humidity/hydration needs as well as the extra care you need to take when you give them supplements. However, I'd definitely recommend a...

I'm a fan of the big fat frogs too. How big is Zeus?

I used to have a Budgett's frog but unfortunately she had to be put down a little while ago. They're awesome animals and I'd totally recommend them to anyone willing to commit to them, which isn't much of a stretch seeing as the folks on this forum are used to caring for chameleons. That brings...

Holy crap, you have a baby octopus?

It's best if you just feed frozen/thawed rodents. They don't need to be dusted with calcium and vitamins-the organs and bones and stuff provide all the nutrition the snake needs. Good luck with your snake! I've had my BP for over ten years and I love her to death.

Thanks for the help. I was freaking out for a second because I thought it may have been a neurological problem.

I was taking care of Handsome Jack this morning, and we maintained eye contact for several seconds. Suddenly he started making this erratic jerking movement with his head. I haven't seen that before, and he seemed just fine afterwards. However, I'm worried about the little guy. Any thoughts on...

I feel like you may be best off starting your little guy out in an 18" x 36" setup. That should be a good size for him when he grows up and it'll be suitable for a baby as long as you provide plenty of opportunities to hide. Starting him out with his adult enclosure will save you money in the...

That's an awesome invertebrate collection you've got! I have a mantis and three tarantulas so far.

You can really see his horns are starting to grow out now! The horns above his eyes just look a little longer, but the nose horn has another little segment and is starting to get a bit of a curve. I'll post pictures if I can get any good ones.

Are there any factors besides the growth of the chameleon that affect horn growth in horned species? For some reason, I was kinda thinking calcium intake might correlate to horn growth, but I may be wrong. What do you all think/know about this?

Check out his picture thread! It looks like he's put on a little size. Do they start out kinda slow and start growing up faster once they've put on a little size?
