JT is hanging in there We will take a picture of JT and his huge right front leg tomorrow. It is so strange how he seemed fine last Friday, 8/15, except he was sleeping with his right front leg dangling. Then by Sunday it was huge. How could MBD progress so quickly? Some history - we...

Great info. Thank you all for the great information. I will stop beating myself up for not having a UVA bulb in our chameleons' enclosures. Our veiled is doing fine and she has the same set up. Both are in their own individual 4 foot by 2 foot screened enclosures, next to windows, but they...

I am so saddened and disheartened to learn that my best friend, JT, a Jackson's chameleon is on the brink of death due to metabolic bone disease. I am confused because the vet told us yesterday that he looked better than most chameleons he sees and it is in the early stages of the disease. He...

Please guide us on how much and what to feed our 9 month old veiled female and our brand new Jackson's male (approximately 9 weeks old). We have never had a Jackson's before and our previous female veiled was overfed and became eggbound. We want to be the best custodians we can be to Jade and...

Thank you Even though we have a new, tiny veiled in our home, I still look at the enclosure and remember Rango. She was our first chameleon and she will always be special. I still miss her so much. Maybe we brought the new baby home too soon. Maybe we should have waited longer, but the pain of...

I'm sorry for my anger and negativity I wish I had never posted my negative feelings toward the pet store in my previous posts. I learned very disturbing information from an employee at the store that I could not disregard, and I allowed it to tarnish my thoughts and interfere with my memorial...

You're so right The hole in my heart is still healing and I can see how there will always be a scar. I missed holding her so much that I convinced my husband to go with me to the scary pet store to see if they had another juvenile chameleon that I could just hold for a minute. Of course, they...

Thank you to everyone for your care and support. It is comforting to know others understand how wonderful our chameleons are and what a special place they have in our hearts.

Rango Star was the shining star in my life. She still is, but I have to turn deep inside to find her light. Poor Rango was taken from us after only five months - but what a beautiful five months we had with her. I had never owned a reptile, let alone a chameleon. It was my husband who was...

So sad I don't check in with this forum often due to my lack of technical abilities (I keep losing my password). So sad that we just lost Rango three days ago due to her second infertile clutch in three months. She just had surgery three months for an attempted hyseterctomy and C-section. She...

Our new chameleon, Rango Star, whom we purchased just before Christmas, has drastically changed in the past week. Initially, she had an insatiable appetite for crickets and meal worms. She was very small when we purchased her from PetSmart. We fed her as many crickets as she would consume -...
