    Question For Computer Gurus...

    Do you still have the videos on your digital camera? If so, try saving them to your desktop first. Actually, from now on you should always save to your computer or desktop or whatever first. Do not save it into a program. I also will not ever own anything Apple. You can buy something...

    Questions about a female veiled chameleon???

    If you're going to keep the waterfall, I would recommend cleaning it everyday. If she accidentally poops in it or anything, the bacteria just spreads. And with having the warmer temps, it's a total breeding ground for bacteria. Chameleons are quite addicting... anyone on here will tell you...

    Questions about a female veiled chameleon???

    First things first, take out the waterfall. It will only harbor bacteria and make your chammy ill. That is waaaay too many crickets. She should only eat 6-10 every other day, if she is really 7-8 months old. Since you aren't planning on mating her, if you keep her temps in the low 80's and...

    Worried about Stress (first time cham owner)

    To clean the habitat, I use Natural Chemistry's Healthy Habitat. It's safe, non-toxic, and smells nice. You can buy it online in gallon jugs (cheaper), or buy it from Petco in spray bottles.

    cats similar to chams?

    So, I was thinking today... Cats are pretty similar to chameleons, personality-wise. For example, -both usually sleep in the arched-back position with their head resting below -both hiss and puff up at people and other animals, and are not friendly in general -both like climbing and being...

    Worried about Stress (first time cham owner)

    Light colors are usually a good sign. You will see those colors when your cham is sleeping, excited, and over-all in a good mood. Stress colors appear as dark spots/stripes and then get more prominent as the chameleon becomes more stressed, angry, or scared.

    What is this in the nose?

    I used to only dust about 3 times per month, and mine had that white build up outside of her nostrils. That makes me say that I highly doubt it's from dusting too much because now I dust every other day and I have no issues. What kind of water are you using for the mister/dripper? I found that...

    Baking my leaves, question?

    That's actually quite dangerous. Your water heater is set too high.

    This may be a stupid question...

    Yeah, your basking spot is about 10 degrees too warm. She is too young to have temps in the high 80's. When she gets older is okay to have the 32C degrees, but, if you are not planning on mating her, I would keep the temps in the low 80's for the rest of her life to decrease her chances of...

    This may be a stupid question...

    Your basking spot may be too hot. Check the temps with a digital thermometer.

    Heat Rock?

    Heat rocks aren't good for beardies either. They cannot feel heat from their tummies, so they don't know how hot something is when they are laying on it. I wouldn't suggest a heat rock or pad for any type of reptile, due to the burns.

    Can my chameleon get its food?

    The main idea is that your cage is too big for a young cham. When we say "too big", we're talking height. That being said, the divider should go horizontally, not vertically. There's no point in putting in a divider if you're cage is still just as dangerous.

    How often you feed greens to your cham?

    I have found that mine don't always eat it if I offer it, and they especially don't as babies. I have had the best luck with dandelion greens over any other type of greens.

    Is coloration atrributed 100% to genetics?

    This article is specifically on Panther's, but it does talk about maximizing coloration when breeding. http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=43

    How aggressive are Chameleons? Have u been bitten? Which is the least aggressive??

    I have two veileds and have never been bitten. I find that they are more calm and "playful" when they are younger, and grow more aggressive as they age. Mine just hiss, puff up, and rock from side to side. Once I get them out though, they are happy to be out and I don't have any problems until I...

    Romane lettuce

    Yep, romaine does have some nutritional value. I feed it to mine along with dandelion greens and arugula. It's ice burg lettuce that I've read has no nutrition.

    Poll?

    Holy coooooow. In my house we have 2 chams and 4 beardies, and it's sooo much work! I literally couldn't imagine having that much to take care of. Props to you!

    Hello, new here...I have a question about a cage.

    The only problem I've ever heard of when putting a small cham in a large cage is that they are still much weaker and if they fall, it's a long fall which could injure them pretty badly.
