There has been so many threads on this. The only successful cross species breeding has been discussed here. I think it was Yemen/Senegal mix? I don't remember if any of those survived. Sorry, but I still don't get this interest to cross the species. Aren't they as beautiful and strange and...

In winer I sometimes switch a mercury vapor bulb for the incandescent, when it is a bit cooler, as the Cham stays under the basking spot nearly all the time. But my enclosure is large and UVB and Basking spots are a bit apart. But generally I do give mercury vapor lamps to our tortoises only.

And the base

Cannot upload multiple files on iPad. Sorry.

Mine on wheels. Semi diy. screen is xl reptibreeze, bottom is a diy box with pvc lining and aluminum frame to seal the edges at the frame. Hole at bottom of the box as a drain. We use a soil based bottom, which is completely overgrown by pothos and Passion flower. In winter his enclosure...

Welcome to the forum. There is really no rule to handling. Each Chameleon has its own character. You should observe its general temperament and make your judgement on how often you can handle it. I had chameleons that got aggressive being handled. So I let them be. I had some that crawled and...

Hang in there, Jann. Your pets are in my thoughts.

Never thought about it. But their exoskeleton is very soft (other than locust). You might rip out the body fluids as well. Especially for pinheads. I wouldn't mind releasing the crickets as long as you don't flood the enclosure with them. I myself never cup feed. All my prey is 'free...

Sandrachameleon has an excellent blog about gut loading. Search her name on the forum. As far as I remember spinach is not too great. Kale, rocket are better. Some carrots. Also Oranges and papaya. And once in a while some oats. D3 not too often. Once every 2 weeks. But calcium without d3...

Welcome to the forum. This is indeed a young one. We usually don't recommend babies for novice keepers. Now tht you have him you have to be very rigorous in your husbandry. And it is good that you came here as there can be good advice that helps you to become more knowledgeable Can you fill...

You should change the vet. Wrong advise.

Great that he is better. Hope all the best for you and Walker. He is a stunningly beautiful Chameleon.

They sometimes fall. If too often, there might be something wrong. How old is he? how strong is his grip? Can you fill out the help form?

Sorry for your loss. A lot of times they can die without us doing anything wrong. In particular if we have them for a short time. They have the tendency to camoflage their sickness. Yours was very young and it is not really recommended for novices to start with such a young Chameleon. Overall...

For me one thing good about keeping feral pets (like Chameleons and other reptiles) is to learn how to observe nature and its integrated cycles much more rigorously. I have discovered over years the fragility and dependency of a system which I was not so aware of when I was younger. We...

Sorry your Chameleon is sick. As stated before. The live plant cannot be the issue. They actually hold humidity better an because of them growing, foliage can grow into to the enclosure size. They also capture less dust than plastic based artificial plants. To my knowledge one of the factors of...

I have a friend who once had a baby croc (he is a bit crazy at times). He was told to hold them and hug them to tame them. Well. He fell asleep while hugging it and when he woke up his testicles were bitten off. Ok, just kidding. But the croc was crushed. I think we should not consider our...

Beautiful animal. Quite handy... I guess sexing is like with other roaches. Males should have either longer wings or/and more spikes at their lower abdomen than the females.

That should be a Dracena. And it is safe.

May I ask you why do you want to get her to the vet when there is no urgency? I understand that you love your Chameleon and are concern about its health. And I am very sure that your husbandry is great (not the least because this forum is a great source of advise). But wether it is cold outside...
