Ziggy, my male Veiled, started a shed yesterday, and this morning, I came down to find my very own, lizard version of Santa, complete with beard, looking at me!! Check out that beard!!!!:D:D:D:D

Especially if they are different species, do you notice the difference in the way that they behave, their personalities and what they like/don't like? I find it really fascinating. I have a 14 month old male Veiled and an 8 month old male Ambilobe Panther. Their morning routines are as...

I am having some tests tomorrow for possible cancer. I found a lump a week ago and have been called in as an urgent before christmas. I am trying to stay as positive as possible, but have to admit, I am kind of scared, not only of the results but of the tests themselves, they are not...

Does anyone else find that owning and caring for a chameleon has helped them get over some fear or phobia?? I must admit that when I first considered owning a cham, one of the things that was putting me off a bit was the live food issue. I have always been a bit of a squeamish person -...

I was talking to a friend today who has a friend that keeps a chameleon. She said that there was something wrong with it and because she didn't have the money to take it to a herp vet, she had read online that a good way to euthanize a lizard was to put it into the freezer.:mad: She said that...

Hi everyone.... I managed to stuff up a post earlier tonight so I am now trying to do it again..... Here are the other loves of my life... The first two are of my lovely horse, Banjo. He is a 14.2hh section D cross whom I have had for 15 years. The last photo is of my baby...

Hi everyone, Ghengis is 6 months old today!! I thought I'd show a photo - he is developing into an absolutely beautiful Chameleon. He's a Blue Bar Ambilobe, bred by Jamie Hardie of Chameleoco. Love him to bits! :D

Hi everyone, just a quick query. My 5 month old Ambilobe has, on two separate occasions now, fired at a cricket, chewed it for about 5 seconds and then spat it out. This first happened about a month ago and then again today. The crickets are not too large for him and were dusted in...

I had my brother and sister in law call round this morning for an hour, together with my niece and nephew (9 year old twins). Although they live in the same town, we don't see them frequently and aren't particularly close - we get together about 3 times a year for christmas and family...

I'm curious as to how many chameleon owners have insurance for Vet fees? After I had Ghengis to the vet last week when he was diagnosed with a broken tail, I decided to get some quotes for vet fees only for both my chameleons and I was wondering how common it was? I was conscious of the...

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 just spent an hour and a half cleaning out and feeding my feeder insects. I do this twice a week, once on a Tuesday and once on a Friday. I have 5 tanks, as my chams are very different in ages, so my insects are sorted according to size, locust and crickets. its just taken me...

Yesterday, when coming home from work and checking my chams, I noticed that my 4 month old male Panther's tail appeared to have a pronounced "kink" in it, very close to the base. Handle him very rarely but this definitely warranted a closer look, so out he came. He seemed calm, his...

I guess this thread is a little bit on the back of MarceMarc's thread that I have read throughout the day - the fact that he posed a question and was then subjected to other questions about his husbandry, without anyone answering his exact question. I can only speak for myself, but what I...

I was talking to a work colleague today at lunch... don't know her particularly well but we were chatting whilst we shared a table at lunchtime. she asked me what I would be doing tomorrow. This is how the conversation went, more or less.... Me - "well, I'll get up at around 7am, turn...

Hi everyone, can someone help me with a query? I have seen a lot of posts about sperm plugs, I have no idea what these are or if every male cham will have one at some point. I have two male Chameleons, a Veiled of a year old and a 4 month old Panther. Want to know what to look out for -...

I have had a male Veiled Cham for 6 months now, and when he sheds, it can take absolutely days.... You see him start.... usually on his head, and then the rest of him gradually peels off, but it can be a lengthy, drawn out process. Sometimes his head sheds.... and then nothing for 3 weeks...

Hi everyone, I am ashamed to say that I have only just worked out how to post photos (total technophobe):rolleyes:.... but just wanted to share some photos of my two beloved Chameleons. The first is Ziggy. He's a year old and is a male Veiled. GRUMPY does not come into it!! But I love...

Hi guys, just a quick query. I have a year old male Veiled and a three month old Blue Bar Ambilobe Panther. My Veiled won't touch crickets at all, never has, so he gets a mixture of locust, Silkworms, Calci-worms and an occasional couple of Wax Worms as a treat each week. However, I have...

Sooooo - when I bought Ziggy, my male veiled, I was given in my set up quite a small Exo-Terra glass terrarium and in the last few weeks, I could see that it was no longer suiting his needs. I am fortunate enough to live within 8 miles of the wonderful Chameleoco in Kirkham, Lancashire...
