Hi everyone, I wanted to get your opinions on timing between introducing chameleons? I have the opportunity to purchase a female Jackson and while very interested in her I am concerned for Trippy as he is still not what I would consider 100% back to health (little meat on his bones and...

Thank you so much for taking the time to assist the pet shop in improving their husbandry with the Chams they have!! The reality is that pet shops are in the business to make money and they do not have the ability/ desire to “investigate” potential owners to ensure they know what they are...

I agree with everything you said! The temp for Jackson’s needs to be less than most other chameleons. I try not to let my basking spot get over 80 for my Jackson because he really is easily heat stressed. I have noted that when the temps are over 80 he will become lethargic, stop eating and...

I am sorry to hear about your Chameleon. Honestly, if he is on the verge of passing away and you know he cannot be saved/helped then I do not recommend force feeding/water because this will only make things more stressful for him as he dies. I would try to make him as comfortable as you can...

loss of a friend I am soo very sorry to hear about your loss :( I lost my baby Veiled a few months back when he choked to death in my hands; it was devastating to say the least!!!!! I still hurt at his loss and know how difficult it is to get past the loss. One day you will feel ready to try...

Chameleon ownership Absolutely recommend a Veiled or Panther as a first Cham, but that said RESEARH as much as you can before getting one. Please make sure you have everything set up and running for a few days (to work out any issues with temp, water, humidity) prior to acquiring the Cham. No...

Yes the care for a Jackson differs. Jackson will require lower temps than many other cams. My male Jackson is not able to tolerate any temp above 78-79 without heat stress setting in very quickly. They require more higher humidity levels and have been known to be more sensitive to stress...

Hi, I just need to vent a little about the experience today related to the local pet shop and their new acquisition of chameleons. They now have a fully grown (1-1 1/2 yr) male veiled, pair of Jackson (5-6 month), Senegal and soon to be arriving panther. They all look in great health...

Hi, The fact that you just got him tells me he is almost defiantly still going through an adjustment period and this will mean he is going to show some signs of stress (darker color, less movement, threatening you if you get close, shying away..). The open mouth while sitting still is a...

Thank you! He was a rescue I took in about three weeks ago (almost four). He was in bad shape, but has made an amazing recovery and fast!!

Thank you, He is in a 24 X 24 X 48 wire Reptibreez. I know the cage has variations in temp because you can feel it even just by sticking your hand in :D I also see this guy move himself around to the various areas, he appears to be forming a regular routine. He wakes up, gets a drink...

Thank you! I will try to get the to come in larger. am hope you are right and that he is not as thin as I thought :o I have noticed a big change in his looks just in the past few days. The vide I have of him shows his skin looking very wrinkled and almost hanging in some places (shoulders...

I am going to try to link the video :) "C:\Users\shiloh\Documents\Dell WebCam Central\Record Videos\120423-230408.wmv"

more photos of him I got some good ones today of him as he Stretched from one branch to another. He looks so thin to me :(

Photos of Trippy This is Mr. Trippy, he is getting ready for bed so you are not able to see his weight very well. I have a video I am still trying to attach a link for!! :)

Hi everyone, I am wondering if you can recommend a few things for me. 1) I do not think the Exo Terra thermometer and hydrometer are reading properly, I am not seeing much of any fluctuation with heat/no heat and misting/non- misted times. I know the change is there, however it is...

rescue I have made attempts in the past to acquire ill Chams from Pet Smart as well as private shops with little luck. Pet Smart told me they cannot "rescue" out animals to the public, but rather allow their employee to take the animal home. I am not sure if this was only my local Pet Smart...

WOW, is all I can say!! I am so happy that this guy is doing as well as he is, I felt he was done for sure after seeing the first photos! What an AMAZING job you both have done nursing him. I commend you for being willing to take on such a job/responsibility as this is. I know how much I...

PetSmart I can say that the local Pet smart by my home has helped to save my Jacksons life! He was dumped at the animal shelter in a paper bag and left in a plastic critter box with nothing but cut newspaper for more than 10 hours before I got word of him and they got him to me. This little...

THANK YOU! The 2.0 I just use for the better light, the live plants do better with it. The 5.0 I use for him. I will try to do a link and hope that works :) It is funny because at times (sleeping or still) he looks great, not thin at all. When he moves and is all over then he can look soooo...
