Welcome to the forum! Lovely pics of your cham too. I am looking forward to the day I can take mine out onto the deck, but its New England, and weather that warm is in the unforeseeable future. Submitted for your approval, Tyg

Babies are too cute!

It bears saying again. Chameleons are not 'hand pets', but 'eye pets'. If it is eating, drinking, eliminating and acting healthy in its own environment, let it do so in peace. From everything I've read, it is a rare chameleon that wants to be handled. Submitted for your approval, Tyg

Yep...been through the leg grabbing with the forum and a few vets, and I'm still working on it. As far as the original issue of today's post, first let me say that I truly love this creature. She settled the matter for me. She climbed out. I disengaged her from the vine, put her back in her...

Shayna has gotten me worried enough to move her to a bucket of sand, a branch, and some fake leaves for cover. Now I feel like I put her in prison, or such a weird environment that she's paralysed with fear. Maybe its not her, maybe its just me. If she is a first time layer at this point...

What species? If that was my cham I'd get her into a laying bin...which curiously, is just what I've done with my 9mo veiled. Submitted for your approval, Tyg

Am I the only one dying to see a pic of a cham lazing in an orchid??? PIX PLS

I want to shower Shayna, but can't imagine removing her live plant to put in the shower. I have smallish potted plants outside, but that would be a small unfamiliar plant in a weird white ceramic world. I also have an old T-stand, a piece of a broomstick crosswise on a vertical pole...

oh, and there is no way that the bucket will fit in her enclosure. I'm relying on my keen sense of timing to figure out when she needs to be put in the bucket. That sounds sooo wrong.

If you put liquid calcium (aka calcium gluconate or another substance) the dripper will become a hotbed of bacterial delight. Don't do it. You will drip the equivalent of calcium 'sugar' all over. Bad Bad Bad. Powdered Ca will not suspend in a liquid well, and frankly it may make the cham...

Thanks, Suzi. I think she's pretty cute too. The vine is a fake grapevine, bought from Michaels or one of those crafty places. another one is from the rep-store and is more substantial. I also got two of the doubled twisted sticks from the repstore and untwisted them to get more length...

Jan, you and the Kitty post are my bibles. I read and reread, and it still seems ineffable and magic. THEN I see sad posts, and my heart twists. Twelve inches it is...going to make the changes. Tyg

Love your quote, Vlad! This is my understanding of veiled cham coloration; When a cham is asleep they are not in control of their chromatophores, the mechanism 'relaxes' and you see the base color, that lovely vibrant green. When he is awake, his attitude controls how much the cells around...

Chameleons are terribly aware of being boring. That's why they are so odd in so many ways; they don't want to be common. Please don't yawn or he'll think he isn't being flamboyant enough. Stop Squeezing. I would suggest changing you're passwords on the computer. Obviously your chameleon has...

I looked in on my veiled, and THINK I saw her with some very interesting dark marks (okay...insert Harry Potter joke here) on her side...two lateral stripes. I'm seeing vague sort of dots, nothing to write home about. By the time I had gotten across the room to her she had faded to solid green...

But here is one of my first vids of Shayna... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGP-Q2VGtms&feature=BFa&list=ULxiWqNXLqveY&lf=mfu_in_order Things to note: Her flanks are white because she scrapes them with her hind legs. Its happening less often, but she still has some evidence of it...

Ah, but it WASN'T still...it rippled with the drippies. No worries, your cham is exploring his environment and making the most of it.

omG that is cute beyond bearing!
