My girl, found 10/10/22. Probably at least 3 years old. I’m stumbling through and spending money and being stressed by accidental chameleon acquisition.

First meeting either 10/10/22 or 10/16/22 The day my brother and I found her, this is right after we scooped her and put her in a big 10 gallon tub & didn’t know what to do with her

First night, chameleon kit grabbed from petsmart (I know better now but it’s what was available). either 10/10/22 or 10/16/22

Getting sun on washed camelia branches Enjoying the view from my brother’s room in place of a decent heating lamp 10/23/22

In an attempt at bonding, I shut my bedroom door and opened her enclosure door, I sat on the floor without looking at her, and she decided to try and make an escape and ran around my room. This was the first time I saw her scared/aggressive coloration 10/23/22

I opened the top of her temporary glass enclosure bc I worried she wasn’t getting enough breathability, but learned my lesson and took away anything she could grab onto or climb down on. She was considering jumping to my bedpost here, and fortunately decided against it. 10/23/22

Pretty girl in a passion flower I bought but I didn’t have an enclosure that could fit it yet. Very stunning though expressing her distaste for my phone camera. 11/04/22

First time she initiated contact. Was spraying her enclosure and she ran out on my arm, maybe bc her tiny enclosure sucked, probably because she wanted to be fed. Magical moment. 11/07/22

Chillin’ in her bedtime spot, getting ready for bed. Looking weirdly huge even though she wasn't gravid yet. 11/12/22

Her first big cage finally came and assembled; reptibreeze XL. Unfortunately, it kept getting shipped to me torn and broken but she needed out of her tiny glass enclosure, ripped screens and bent frames or not. 11/15/22

Enjoying her new large breezy home with lots of plants and sticks 11/17/22

She preferred going high to look out the window over hiding in the plants. For a chameleon, she's always seemed unusually bold and not-shy to me, even only a month into knowing me. 11/21/22

Were your misting nozzles okay? I installed a nozzle on the top a while ago but it’s never been ‘plugged in’ or attached to a tube or had any water go through it. How were his poops? My concern is because hers are sometimes so mucousy it sometimes sticks to her body (the clear mucus not her poo...

Since you kept him in his initial enclosure, was it difficult cleaning a large enclosure every week? How did you go about it? Is coccidia only contagious (Re infectious) through ingesting water with it in?

Called my vet and the nurse/receptionist said to order the cream from chewy.com and they'd approve the prescription; just wanted to make sure that was okay for reptiles with you. https://www.chewy.com/silver-sulfadiazine-cream-1/dp/379019 Chewy tends to be more for dogs and cats, plus while my...

She was receptive when I found her and acted insane for about 5-6 weeks before she calmed down. She's had a lay bin since the second week (I actually panicked thinking she might be eggbound and ran to the hardware store before it closed and then tried to carry the 55 lb bag of sand home🤦‍♀️)...

I might just rip the plastic leaf part off the dripper plant, clean that to use for cover on the outside of the cage, and toss the rest. I'm very tempted to order the DIY cage on sale right now, but like I said I have to be really careful with how I spend because my income is severely decreased...

Thanks for the links! I may hold off on silkworms for now as I am thoroughly challenged by basic stuff currently. 😅 maybe in the future when I've got a better handle on stuff.

Thank you so much for your response and support. This community has been a godsend long before I signed up and posted when I was still figuring chameleon care out. What enclosure did you use for a temporary setup? Or did you use your initial enclosure but sterilized and gutted of infectous...

The 40 volume peroxide linked on your other coccidia posts has been ordered and the flukers vines have arrived. RIP all my plants :'( Coccidia is such a b***. Some questions about cleaning: Do you use any particular sponges or brushes to scrub down the cage? How do you know when you've scrubbed...
