Get a small, plastic yoghurt tub or something similar, with vertical sides, so that the worms can't creep out. Place it on a branch or vine and use either some very thin wire or a cable tie to attach it to the vine by poking a couple of holes in the bottom of the tub. Here's a pic of...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your cham, but please don't try and splint his leg or attempt to self-diagnose what could be wrong with him, you could end up doing more harm than good, despite your best intentions. I would give it another day, but if your chameleon's leg is still swollen then...

sorry, meant to post this above but also it is advisable to get rid of the substrate that you have on the bottom - your chameleon could ingest it accidentally and it can cause impaction. A bare bottom or just a few paper towels is the best thing to have.

He's lovely - welcome little one! Just a word about your heat lamp - as you have it in your enclosure you need to cage it off, otherwise your little cham might climb on it and burn himself. They don't register when they're burning, unfortunately, until its too late.

Hi, is it the "bendy" type of fake vine? If so, you will probably struggle to cut it, as they have wire in the centre. They do tend to disintegrate after a while as well - when I moved my male Veiled into his big boy cage, the vines that had been in his smaller cage crumbled and fell to...

Chameleons are very quiet, private and solitary creatures and should be handled rarely if you are to avoid causing them undue stress, in my opinion once a week or so for a few minutes only.

Hi and welcome to the forum, nice cage! Just a word of warning - I would avoid the coiled UVB lamp and buy a strip light instead (Arcadia T5 would be ideal). The coiled bulbs can cause eye problems in Chameleons.

He probably finds it a bit arduous to try and get to the top of the cage, as you have very little in the way of branches, vines to help him. The more that you can fit in there, the better. Here is a pic of my cage to show you what I mean.... As Camimom has said as well, lots more...

Great!! Lets hear some more!

I'm curious as to why people decide to keep chameleons... is it something that you have always wanted to do, or started keeping other reptiles or was it by accident, i.e. you adopted one at short notice?? Stories please!!!:):D:):D:):D

I have an adult male Veiled and I have to say that your cham looks great - good job!

Hi and welcome to the forum! Can you post a pic of your setup?

He is a beautiful boy! My male blue bar is just coming up to five months, and I can't wait to see what colours he is going to exhibit when he gets a bit older. Thanks for sharing.

I used to use tomato as a gutload, but after advice from a couple of experienced members on here, decided to give it a swerve. If the leaves of the plant are poisonous then I think that there is a likely chance of whatever substance there is in the leaves will also be in the fruit. To...

Hi, welcome to the forum. To make it easier to help you, could you fill out the little questionnaire below? It will help other members answer your queries and hopefully help you. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your...

It depends..... For a start do you use warm water, instead of cold? This can make a difference. I always use warm water but, my 5 month old Panther HATES it... he will run from the mister, so I try and mist the places that he isn't in. On the other hand, my adult Veiled male...

If you mist for five mins then you won't use a full bottle, unless it's small. I have a litre misting bottle and I don't "power" it into the cage, I do it kind of softly, if that makes any sense? Both of my chameleons are very different - my adult Veiled actively LIKES being misted...

Enjoy your little one, he is absolutely gorgeous!! I remember why my daughter, who is now nearly 22, looked as small, they grow so quickly, it honestly seems like a few months ago, sometimes, not years! Congrats to both you and your husband.:)

I laughed out loud at that Nick!!!:D:D

I moved my adult male Veiled into his 24x24x48 enclosure about a month ago, when he was a year old. Your chameleon will be fine in the 18x18x36 for quite some time yet.
