I can see some of his dad in him, in his size and his impressive casque . . . Driskel's a pretty awesome cham, and your lad is magnificent - dark, brooding - and yet with bright highlights that really pop! ~Bruce

When my son first walked into the door with a female veiled chameleon, she was a rather turquoise color - and though she only kept that shade until her first shed with me, along with her Arabian heritage, it was enough to earn her the name "Princess Jasmine". (About three days after this pic...

Whether you'd need a license probably varies from state to state - and if you ask the state, I suspect that they'll probably tell you that you need to register your business and charge tax. You might see if you can get some more pinpointed information from the vendors at your local show...

My chameleons get three opportunities to eat greens ... A - Live plants in their enclosures. The Sheffleras in the veileds' enclosures all have bitemarks in their leaves. B - Bits of torn-up greenery (turnip, lettuce, dandelions, kale, plantains, chickweed, etc . . .) in their feeder cups...

Baby chameleons, especially, seem to rock back and forth as they walk, proceeding in a lurching, jerky way that may help them blend in among windblown foliage. It's normal - for them - but can be a bit startling! I've seen it in veileds and panthers, but it's a bit different between the...

Look for Pedialite in the babies & children section of your local grocer's - it's used to rehydrate sick children. ~B.

Sounds almost as though he saw his reflection . . . puberty? ~Bruce

Sure does look like a veiled chameleon . . . Looks dead like a Yemen chameleon, too. They're two different names for the same animal, and yours looks like a cutie! As you may have guessed from the name, they hail from the Yemen / Saudi Arabia region. ~Bruce

Hi, Robert - from a fellow Nutmegger! My chameleons are veiled, not panthers, and I've only had them since January, so take all with a grain or two . . . I've had no problems with maintaining temperatures or hydration - but I live close enough to work to come home at lunchtime if an extra...

Mine have two options for greenery ... I generally include a few bits of collard greens or dandelion leaves in the cup with their feeder insects, and I've seen the chameleons grab a mouthful of leaves along with a cricket or superworm. Also, being veileds . . . the Schefflera plants in their...

That looks like Dieffenbachia, known in years past as "Dumb cane", because its sap can numb your tongue. I'd leave that one in a pet-free zone of my home, I think . . . ~Bruce

"His power is in your hands!" I have vague memories of that show . . . This guy is beautiful and powerful - great to see the old name used so appropriately! ~Bruce

Using two push-pins on at least one end of the branch should solve the spinning problem, unless the branches are too thin for two pins... Maybe you could use branching branches, and a three-point push-pin anchoring system? ~Bruce

You can use the water-holding crystals that you find in garden centers for watering crickets - - but a better option might be simply to offer fresh fruits and vegetables. Orange slices seem to be a favorite among my crickets - which means my chameleons get vitamin C and lots of other good...

Hi, Nathan - and welcome! I've not got much more experience than yourself, but do have a female veiled at about the same age as Sappho. Jasmine's just begun to really show those mustard / gold scrawled markings on her sides, and has become _thick_ and _heavy_ through the middle. You can kind...

I remember as a kid ordering a "chameleon" from the back of Boy's Life magazine. What I got in the mail was a green anole, "American Chameleon". As others mentioned, it came in a little box with a red thread and safety pin, so it could be kept with me - but it also came with insufficient...

Up periscope! He's just too cute!! ~Bruce

This thread seems to offer clues: https://www.chameleonforums.com/very-unique-ambilobe-114306/ As well as gorgeous photos of high-white Ambilobes. (None so white as Romeo, I think - but some serious eye-candy nonetheless!) ~Bruce

How does that casque handle when the wind picks up?! Very handsome chameleon, this Morbidone - and I'm sure the lady chams think his headgear is the cherry on top! ~Bruce

Yes - stink bugs are true bugs, and kind of shield-shaped. These guys are beetles - a different (very large!) family of insects. ~B.
