No. Just going for fun.

Didn't know you were going ... see you there!

I would mist for much longer than 12 seconds. My veileds get a 30 minute misting in the morning and a shorter misting or two in the afternoon. Also, I use moist sand in my laying bins for all my females.

RI's can also be viral or fungal. I would think that if it is a virus, antibiotics would do no good?

You should also raise the basking temps a few degrees. Don't overdo it - but an increased temperature will help. I had one showing possible early signs of an RI and I increased his temps. When I took him to the vet he was fine and the vet agreed that increasing temps was what to do. I just got...

Awesome shot! And lovely chameleon.

do you mean superworms? I give them greens and sweet potatoes and squash and carrots. I cup feed or hand feed. silk worms and hormworms usually come in a cup with their chow and they don't get anything else. I don't feed meal worms.

They are likely just hatched and very small and fragile. You should be sure you can take care of them at that size/age. It is definitely a bigger risk but if you feel you can handle it - go for it!

I always try to not cut or make it a larger wound if I can avoid it. Try to just squeeze it out first. Make sure it is kept clean and medicated.

I have dealt with chameleons that have had broken nails and minor infections/wounds. You can clean it out yourself. Get as much pus out as you can and clean it it out with a chlorhexidine solution (available online). I like to use a product called vetericyn hydrogel. (also available online)...

They are all so beautiful! Great photos.

I believe so. I know some people have used ultrasound as well. It's not something I've ever pursued as I wouldn't put the chameleon through it for no reason other than to know their sex.

Can the Mellers be sexed? Is it ok to put to males together? I am not sure of their sex. As said, they are very difficult to sex. When you have a few you can make educated guesses. We keep a dozen melleri. We have an almost room-sized free range and we know we have two males and two...

They will eat as much as they can! But yes, 6-8 large feeders is a good start. They also need a lot of water so a good drainage system in the free range area is important. This is especially important as they are likely wild caught and probably at least a bit dehydrated. Are you planning to get...

thanks. I always recommend free ranging and hand feeding whenever possible. it really does work wonders. I brought home a very aggressive adult female veiled last Friday. She got a free range area in our living room and started hand feeding within a couple days and now is fairly easy to handle...

i'm not sure what eco earth is? Is it moist? It needs to be moist enough to hold a tunnel. She will dig a deep tunnel, lay the eggs and cover them. If the dirt in the laying bin is not moist enough she wont want to use it. I use moist sand which works really well. You may want to try that or...

Thanks Jann. I get a lot of requests for friendly babies so I do my best ...

That is an awesome effect! And a gorgeous chameleon!

1. Start young. These babies are almost six weeks old and already hand feeding like pros!

little cutie!
