    is he unhappy?

    I'd take one of the above posters' suggestions above and create some more horizontal "highways" for him.. Also, where's his basking spot? It looks like the area he's at in the pic is kinda far from the top and I don't see any thermometers? I'd also recommend a live plant like an umbrella plant...

    going out of town

    I'd leave a handful of crickets in the cage.. Some people say not do leave crickets in overnight because they can bite your chameleon, but if your cham is not a baby, I'd say don't worry about that. Let's not forget who's the preditor here :) That aside, lighting and misting are HUGE...

    least stressful way to get my cham out?

    the only way I ever get Koop out is if I lure him out with a worm.. Lure him all the way to the front of the cage until his only option to get close enough to shoot the worm is to get on my hand.. Works every time:D He must have a bad memory because he gets pissed every time like "DAM i fell...

    Vibrating.

    That's weird. The only time I've seen Koop vibrate is when a cricket was crawling on him. It was funny as hell :D He looked so pissed

    how to get hornworm cocoons to hatch

    Ok thanks for clarifying. Any recommendations on what I should do from here. As of now, i habe probably 10 cocoons in a container with soil about 3-4 inches deep. They've been cocoons for about a month I'd say. Do I leave them be? Did i screw up by digging a few of them up to check on them?

    how to get hornworm cocoons to hatch

    Thanks for your response. In your experience, do you leave them buried in the dirt or are they laying ontop? Also, have you picked one up and does it wiggle like a huge larvae? Lol I need someone to comment on this particular case because its weird i always thought a cocoon is a shell with...

    how to get hornworm cocoons to hatch

    What about the fact the bottom of the cocoons are wiggling when you grab them like larva? I thought that was weird.. Does anyone know if i should leave them buried in the soil or should I remove them and place them somewhere else? Also, do the cocoons need heat to help the process?

    how to get hornworm cocoons to hatch

    Hey everyone. About 2 months ago I ordered a bunch of hornworms for my cham, many of which were too large. I researched a bit on how to get them to turn to moths. Following the direction of a few things I read, I placed them in a large container with soil, and left them alone. Weeks later, they...

    Please help! Possible impaction?

    My guess about the head-thrashing with mouth open is that he ate something that was tough to swallow. He may have been choking and just tryin get it down. This happened to my little guy when i foolishly gave him a large cricket(when he should've been only eating small/mediums). He stood on...

    Having trouble getting my Cham to drink

    Well, I installed a Mist King system about 3 weeks ago, and since then, he's getting a lot of mist. Approximately 4-5 times a day. Three 5 minute sessions, and two 30 second sessions in between. Things do dry up in between sessions. His appetite is great. So, would you say the runny urate is...

    Having trouble getting my Cham to drink

    Those pictures actually just created a question of my own: What if the white urate is more liquid than that picture? My cham's poop is solid and brown, but the white urate is more of a liquid and runny. Is that abnormal or reason for concern?

    How to Get Veiled to Eat Fruit

    Interesting perspective. The reason I wanted to give my cham some fruit is because I wanted to include it in his diet, sparringly, to increase variety and to add some good, natural vitamins. Also, he absolutely devoured the leaves from his money tree, so I sort of want him to get used to eating...
