He should be fine for a day. However, if you can get a household incandescent bulb today it would be better. You can find them just about anywhere, even 7/11 would have them. If it were me, I'd buy a few different bulbs so I could be assured of getting the right temperature. It is absolutely...

If you decide to go the trash can route, Jannb wrote an excellent blog post describing her method:https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/jannb/345-egg-laying-laying-bin.html

David Buchan says she doesn't look gravid, so I'm not saying she is. He's experienced with it, I'm not, but you should be aware that we've had stories on this board of females as young as 4 months old being gravid so, despite the fact she shouldn't be gravid, it's not an impossibility. You'll...

Happy birthday!

You might want to put towels on the bottom of the cage to give him a soft landing. If you could move him to a smaller enclosure it would be even better.

Might I suggest that after you complete the form you print it out (with your answers) and take it with you to the vet. Medical appointments are stressful and it's easy to forget important information. Having that with you will help your vet understand the situation.

One of the things I love about this forum is the threads on poop. Where else could that happen?

Those witch hats are the best...please tell me that the bases are thin mints.....

I think pictures would be very, very helpful.

Hi, I'm sorry your chameleon is doing poorly. It's probably best to complete the How To Ask For Help form. Just click on that link, copy the questions, paste them into a reply and add your responses. That will minimize the number of questions people ask you. It will not eliminate them...

I'm so sorry.

Hi! I would strongly recommend live plants. Chameleons will eat the plants and it's much better if they eat live plants, plus, as noted, they are wonderful for keeping up humidity. Also, if you use a vine like Pothos you can create walkways for your chameleon with natural plants...

David Buchan, in the first two pictures, does she look gravid? If not, what are the bulgy shapes I'm seeing in the abdomen area?

Try getting the dripper set up then soak the cage with the mister. Get everything in the cage dripping. Use like a quart of water.Then leave. Sometimes it takes a lot of water to convince them it's okay to drink and once they get past that, the continued drips seem a bit more acceptable.

She sheds once a month? That's a lot for an adult. Are you sure on her age? Maybe a picture of her near something of recognizable size would be helpful.

Are they really small crickets? If so, maybe it's okay, but if they're medium size or above, it seems like too much food. I would give her a couple of hours to eat and then pull as many as I could back out.

I think they can easily go a week without UVB but it would be good if they just get some LIGHT every day to keep their internal clock working right. So, hopefully you can put them near a window during the day so they can get that distinction between day and night.

Spray it with a clear matte acrylic? The fluorescent tubes don't get very hot so it shouldn't be a big problem. Or, if the reflector does get hot, maybe you can break up the reflection by putting some electrical tape on the hood. Either cut it into thin strips and put them around or cut...

Wow...way to reboot an old thread... I catch them and set them free....I do tell them that they can fly and then toss them as far away from the house as I can. I assume they live because it seems really hard to kill them (unless there are ants...or water...ants can kill them in nano seconds...

I think those camper heat packs are an excellent idea. Note that they can usually be recharged by putting them in boiling water. A bbq could be very useful for many things, including recharging heat packs. Of course, if you can't stay outside to light a fire, that might not be a helpful...
