I bought Chameleons: Care and Breeding of Jackson's, Panther, Veiled, and Parson's by Gary Ferguson, Kenneth Kalisch, and Sean Mckeown. It discusses Selecting a Chameleon, Heating and Lighting, Housing, Feeding and Maintenance, and Disease and Disorders. It is only 148 pages and gave me a good...

My Calyptratus was missing his target and had never been given any multivitamins by the previous owner. I gave him his first round of it, and I have to be honest he has not missed since (coincidence or deficiency?). He was missing targets 3 inches away. This morning he "picked off" a dubia...

I use I use ZooMed ReptiCalcium without D3 Phosphorus Free (most feedings, sometimes I skip), Rep-Cal Phosphorous Free Calcium with Vitamin D3 (twice a month), and I use Rep-Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene Multivitamin (twice a month). If any body knows of reasons not to use any of these...

I have a Male Calyptratus and he gaped and hissed a little at me. When he did this and left his mouth open I noticed a hole, actually I thought I saw two before his tongue got in the way. I was wondering how the ingestion of food and water works for the chameleon. Does food and water go down...

Thank you for sharing your Chameleon with the forum. I thought it was a chamaeleo chameleon as well, but I went and looked and read a little and I think those who say it is a chamaeleo africanus are probably right. This was very informational as I had never come across the chamaeleo africanus...

Color RED I almost asked that same question, i had an all red shirt on and he was fearful of me and would not let me take him out of the cage and turned dark. I was wondering if they do not like the color red! I went and put on a gray tshirt and he let me take him out of the cage. He also...

Thank you! It is Rep-cal Herptivite w/ beta carotene Multivitamins. I have calcium w/o d3, and calcium w/ d3. I use the calcium w/o d3 everyday just like you explained in a small cup so I will do the Mutlivitamins the same way. I am going to do it in the morning, then I will start doing it...

Thanks for the reply!!! Yes. I looked it up, "lateral basking" and it makes since because the sun moves throughout the day. I will try this set style and I believe it will work much better. Thank you Jimturner kire

Thankyou that is what I was asking? To be honest, I feel more comfortable asking some of these Senior Members and knowledgable members before a vet. The only vet I know of in my area, Is at PetSmart, and they said she has seen a few, which means she wont see mine. I can read what she reads...

I have a Male Calyptratus who is may be over a year but that is all I know. I had the lamp between 90-95. On advice from others I dropped it to 85-87ish. Now he wants to try to get closer to the lamp. I also have the heat lamp off to the side of his perch so it is not directly over his...

Sandra, sdheli, Jannb how do you two administer your vitamins? Dusting just like you do with calcium in a bowl? I would like to know how you to do it, I have Rep-Cal with Beta Carotene. kire

Free Branches I only prefer "free" branches. The power company was trimming trees the other day and left them in the neighbors yard. I took everyone of them and trimmed them down. I have more branches than I need, and good ones too. Now I need more cages to put the branches in, along with a...

I do not quite understand how or why they administered mineral oil. I have read of mineral oil being used to lubricate intestines (has anyone else heard this before?). I have heard of using mineral oil for helping with shedding as well (has anyone heard of this?) I am sorry for your loss, I...

Dubias!!! I agree with anyone that says Blaptica Dubias are the way to go. I like that I can have different sizes and they give live birth. I dont even mess with crickets, I just buy them or order them. They are noisy, stink, and a mess. These Blaptica Dubias I have only have a slight...

Blaptica Dubia I just started a Dubia colony and they pretty much will do their part on their own. Just provide a warm area, big container, hiding places (egg containers), food and water. It may cost a little to get started. I bought 20 females and 5 males (80 cents a piece). Some of the...

Answer It does not matter who it is I have heard the complaints, the question was is their any truth to what is being said about the breeding and ratio of hatchling from high end, low end, normal veileds. TIKI easy man!

Translucent Possible Breeder You can try http://zillerreptiles.com/veiled-chameleons.html to see if he has any available, he is from the Midwest. For 100 dollars you may be able to find a low end which can be ugly. Just thought I would share this link. Has anyone ever heard of the breeding...

Many of the online sights for purchasing crickets have a diagram of the actual sizes, I dont know about panthers but he is still young at 4 months. Check the sites out first, you can go with the size between the eyes of your chameleon or a small step up. If you buy a lot remember they will get...

Cat Litter WoW! that is a cute kitten. Yeah Scoop Away and Fresh Step Scoopable have odor eliminating carbon plus they both give off a good smell when scratched and moved around by the cat. So "scoopable" and "carbon", are what to look for and dont ever buy cheap the urine clumps will fall...

Yes he has most likely been burnt at one time, the previous owner said a possible fight, but that dont happen from a fight. Brand new reptisun 5.0 18".
