    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    Ya, I've done baby food squash in the past, but I'm going to look specifically for pumpkin when I go, mixed with a bit of olive oil

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    Good to know, I'll have to give it a try! I'm stopping for some baby food for the rescue beardie, I'll pick up some bright veggies. If V doesn't like them, maybe the dragons will. If they don't, maybe the bugs will...

    Just made the realization V has been munching on his pothos leaves. So cute!! I noticed bite marks, but I just assumed it was loose bugs chewing until I checked on him at lunch and he was hugging onto a very chewed up pothos leaf, looking all adorable, and finally it connected. He practically...

    I'd like to get her in for a wellness checkup, but I'll let her settle in and assess her condition first. The inside of her mouth looks a little puffy, but not worrisome

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    Ugh, my stupid email didn't give me notifications. He must have been desperate to eat those other dubias the other day, because he was not putting up with it another day. Not much news on V today, normal V stuff. He only seems to have eaten 1 cricket from the dish today, but I know there were...

    Uhhh let's see.. Gulool ja ja didn't make it, Mamool ja didn't make it, redid the entire enclosure, bought a mist king, got Vedool ja last Friday from FL chams, he's doing well, doesn't like dubia. I think those are the highlights

    V has spoken. He ate all the crickets out of the dish and left the roaches. Hint taken, buddy

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    He's very cute. He's been hiding out in his frog crater, but has been checking out his plant situation... sorry, buddy. I think I initially gave him four clippings, he can spare one

    I stole a pothos plant from my Pacman frog and now he's giving me frog looks. I can't tell if he's upset or not... He's a lot easier to see now :) I planted it with V's pothos

    His umbrella plant is going crazy with new leaves, so I'll have to start actively pruning and get some little clippings to start new plants or he'll be overrun

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    Word on the street is crickets can't jump on stainless steel, so I got V a new dish So far no one has jumped, even when I stuck my hand in the bowl. Added a few crickets and the roaches he didn't finish. V already tucked himself into bed, so we'll see how tomorrow morning looks. I'd be very...

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    He was clinging to the screen door so I took him on his first trip outside, and boy was he nervous. Didn't help my elderly neighbor pulled up as I was out there yelling WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING?? and proceeded to come over. I told her he was scared so she did keep her distance. Overall he had an...

    I think he's not a big fan of the roaches and is scavenging for food. I may have to stop at a petsmart and pick up some small crickets for him until next paycheck, or look for another way to present the roaches to him. Otherwise he is doing really well. He's nice and plump again today. His...

    He scared the crap out of me! He's clearly fine, I put him up to bask and there were no red flags, but wow my heart, lol. Found so many hidden poops I'll need to clean later. Good to see he's having no issues there

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    I took an accidental nap and just woke up, went to check on V, and could not, for the life of me, find him. I was looking for over 15 minutes with a flash light pen in the super dense areas. I turned the mist on to try and get movement, still nothing. Eventually I saw his little tail peeking...

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    So he polished off the remainder of those dubia roaches this morning, so they can't be that bad. I've been hanging out in his room, trying to observe his day to day life, but he knows I'm here and is just kind of hiding. I have a small sofa across the room from his enclosure I've just been...

    Tips for a First-Time Owner?

    I'm responding very late and I'm very tired, but wanted to make some quick suggestions. Firstly, you have such a nice enclosure. He would love more plants to fill the empty space :) you want enough in there that he becomes difficult to find at times. And I'd also recommend not misting right...

    Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

    To me it was the look of "why are you making me stand on this gross cup?? Clean it!" He actually did really well being handled, though I kept it short. He wasn't hyper active and trying to run, just gripped and walked slowly
