What pets do you have other than chameleons? Look at the giardia hosts and think of how the cham could have come into contact with something contaminated by them. Could be another pet, could be that you put something in his cage like a branch that a bird pooped on and then wasn't disinfected...

I am going to send him back. I can have him delivered saturday by paying extra. I think both choices are awful, this one just a bit less. To do a long-term quarantine, I'd need extra lights/timers/misting system since I don't trust myself to do them diligently by hand for an extended period...

This is definitely the case then. The info was there to determine it tuesday but the breeder suggested I wait a bit before worrying and give him some time to get acclimated/hydrated. It looks like he noticeably worsened overnight. Now I can see excess mucus and a few bubbles when he gapes. I...

I don't have any choice but to keep the cages next to each other. I've only got one room to put them in because of cats, and there isn't a way I could rearrange it. I also only have individual lights for one cage. When I got the second chameleon I went to a 48 inch strip. If he needs to be...

It was just confirmed that my 3.5 month old panther that arrived Tuesday came down with a URI during shipping. I like him a lot and I want to do what is best for him. I can either send him back for a refund or treat him, with an extended guarantee should things go badly. I'm leaning towards...

I've seen several pictures of that style, what are the lighting conditions? Did you use a flash? I got a DSLR for my wife but I don't really know how to use it.

This is just not very likely. Your cages should be higher than little kids can reach just as a matter of keeping the chameleons happy since they will want to go above your eye level. Chameleons are also pretty clean as far as reptiles go...I chalk that up to the fact that they're perfectly happy...

This is all correct. At first I thought he meant the baby is three fourths of a month old, but the picture at the bottom indicates a several month old cham that definitely shouldn't be eating fruit flies. As for some other advice I have, having got my first chameleon a few months ago and my...

Some of them are nice, but not $600 nice. IMO that's too much to spend on a panther unless you're affluent or are planning to use it as a breeder.

She's supposed to be about 5.5 months. Has always been small for her age. This guy is gigantic for his age though.

I finally got my male panther today from Lance. He's only 3.5 months old and is huge for that age. Poor guy has just had the absolute worst day of his life. When I peeked into his bag, I saw that in addition to the horrors of being shipped, he was also just starting a shed. I didn't have the...

One nozzle is all you need because you don't want it misting the entire cage. If you end up ordering a larger package I will buy a nozzle/wedge off you if I haven't ordered them myself already. Second chameleon is getting here soon.

Yes, I know in general terms what they are, but why are chams usually held back? Is it because they are lagging behind their siblings and need to be rehabbed a bit, or is it usually the best ones that get held back?

I was initially impressed with it but it's not that great. The criticisms that it is $60 for 1/3 of a game are somewhat accurate. The campaign takes less than half as much time to play through as the original Starcraft, and it was definitely only 1/3 of a game from a narrative perspective. The...

I'm looking for the following things. Maybe someone got a large mist king kit and doesn't need all the extras it came with: 1x mist king nozzle 1x mounting wedge 1x t connector Also looking for a used 2x2x4 screen cage, I will probably just buy a new one though since nobody ever wants to...

About 15 minutes. I don't think there's a proper time, you just have to make sure they stay hydrated. It was pretty hot so I didn't keep her out long, even with being misted. If they gape outside you should worry because they might have overheated. In this case though she was gaping because she...

I decided that my little girl was finally old enough for some time outside so I took her out for some natural light today. She had fun playing in the plants and stalking flies, although she was too timid to shoot at them. When I took her back in she was NOT happy at all and she made sure I knew...

That is a schleffera, it is safe. Just make sure it is not the one that grows into a large tree because there is another kind of schleffera that is toxic.

I have also heard that about the pool of water, but I don't know if it's a good idea to do it for a chameleon this young. Since you've already waited a couple days this isn't something you want to wait anymore on. http://chamworld.blogspot.com/2008/01/health-section-c-impaction.html

My wife is gonna let me get another cham a lot sooner than I expected. She said that I BETTER get a male this time though because it's not happening again. I just have to be conservative on what I spend since I already went over budget with the first one. So, looks like I'm gonna be shopping...
