after a long winter gus is finally out getting some rays today:cool: he's a little fired up after me taking him out of his cage. His outdoor cage is still under construction so this hand rail will have to do for now :) he's only 8 months but showing some pretty nice color ( the best I could...

Im sure many of you are dealing with the same thing but we have stink bugs in our home like crazy. I keep an open top enclosure for my cham for unfiltered uvb. Earlier I went in there and witnessed him eat a stink bug that was inside the top of his cage. If I had to guess, I would say that this...

Got home from work and your poor chameleons heat lamp was blown, for god knows how long, leaving your poor little guy in the cold?:( (it's actually 67 in his room but you know what I mean) poor little Gus wasn't too happy with me today. Hopefully he forgives me

Quick question about my chameleons last shed. He shed his whole body about a week ago but still has a little patch of skin stuck to his nostril that doesnt seem to want to come off. Is there any negative health effects to this? Should I try to physically remove it or just leave it alone? I know...

I have 6 month old panther. He's rather shy, doesn't like me in his enclosure too often, runs away from me, that kind of thing. He doesn't make very sudden movements at all when I'm in his cage trying to feed him, unless…. its for larger prey. Most feeders I offer he will run to the back of his...

I was just doing some cleaning of my chams cage, dead leaves, poop, etc when I moved a potted plant and I found a large clump of mold growing on one of the natural branches behind the pot. What is the recommended way to remove mold/prevent it from happening again. He has a large plant box in the...

Ive read a few different ideas on this. Ive read its part of their natural diet and its not really harmful and Ive also read that it should be avoided. Im asking now because today I saw my panther chameleon eat some organic soil I have in one of his potted plants. Im leaning toward getting some...

Was able to get my hands on some Vietnamese walking stick bugs. Do any of you guys keep these? Apparently they reproduce asexually rather quickly, seems like a good feeder to keep. Anyone have any experience with these? Gutloading, food, etc.

I know a lot of you guys breed your own insects but does anyone order insects in the cold weather? If so from where? Trying to add some variety to my chams diet but just had a bad experience with getting a batch of dead hornworms, Im assuming from the cold. Any ideas?

hey guys, just wondering what you guys thought about my chameleons tail. I noticed the first day I got him he had a little crimp in his tail. Ive read some things about injured tails potentially being a problem down the road. Ive had him for 2 weeks today. The entire tail is functioning fine as...

Ive read they are high in fat and should be offered rarely if ever. Problem is, they're one of the three feeders I can get locally and would be nice to be able to use in between orders. What do you guys think about them?

hey guys, Ive owned chameleons before but none like this one so far. Just to preface, he's a 5 month old panther and I haven't even had him a week so I know he can be a little out of sorts at first. I wake up at 630am, thats when his lights go on. Shortly after he's making his way up to the...

Ive read some older threads on here and was wondering is it still a current idea that mealworms should only be offered as a treat for your chams? He's a 5 month old male panther Ive only had for about 5 days. Ive been feeding him crickets as a staple with some mealworms mixed in here and there...

Ive attempted to grow orchids in my chameleon cages before but have had no success. Not sure if its the humidity/water or the lighting or what. Does anyone have success growing orchids inside their setup and if so what kinds?

Im full of questions today, just wondering how do you guys go about taking care of your ficus tree? Watering, soil, temps, lighting, feeding etc. I have a new ficus tree I planted in my littles guys home a couple weeks ago. I planted it in well draining soil and the top of the tree is about 3...

Hey guys just a quick question for you. I have a 5 month old male panther. I was just wondering around what temperature do you keep the room you have your chameleon living in? I live in New York where its currently pretty cold and I try to keep the house temp 68-70 degrees. Now obviously he has...

[/URL][/IMG] This is my new little guy, Zeus. He's a 5 month old Nosy be panther from Jim Flaherty of The Chameleon Company. He arrived Thursday happy and healthy :) . The experience ordering from Jim was excellent and very professional, I recommend them to anyone looking to order. He's...

hey guys I was browsing through the enclosure thread and I see a lot of people with hanging plants inside their enclosure. I like the look of this but I was just wondering, does anybody worry about their cham drinking the water draining out of the plant?

hey guys, new to the forum but not really new to keeping chameleons, though its been quite awhile. Ive kept veileds and jacksons before and even had some success breeding my jacksons. Well, they've long since passed and thought I would get back into it with a new Nosy be. Figured Id start by...
