I have been reading. A lot of chameleons don't like being held. Mine is a little less than a year old, and she has only actually bit me once.

So, I've been reading that chameleons don't like being held. I've had charma for just over a week, almost a week and a half, and any time I put my hand in her life tank, to feed, etc, she hisses. Today, I very calmly and slowly put my hand in her tank and rested it on a branch next to...

We had a few meal worm left that we put in her tank in a bowl. She hasn't eaten all of them. There were about 8, there are about 5-6 left.

I know more about the spray than I do the powder. I have the old meal worm container, that's about two inches deep. I feel like they'll get out of there.

I use a calcium spray, not the dust. Should I switch over?

What about getting extra crickets out when she's done eating? I was feeding her Meal Worms, and just switched her to crickets today. There are one or two stragglers. Are there any tips on getting them out?... Will they stay in a cup if I put them in there for feeding time? That would make my...

So, I just got Charma some Gut Loaded crickets for dinner (I got 100 and a cricket keeper, plants, a back drop, a new lamp... I spend more on my pets than my bills!) Anyways. I got the crickets in the keeper.. and now I can't figure out how to get some into her tank. I obviously don't want too...

No spurs. :)

Thank you for the awesome advice.

Charma is eating and drinking fine now! She's been home for about 4 days. She is looking like she's getting ready to shed. How often do chameleons shed? Also, when she's upset or mad, she turns very vibrant colors. I've read that males will be more vibrant, does that mean she is a he? She is...

I looked, and found one article stating that it could be toxic, so I'm going to have my husband remove it from the tank and we will get her a fake plant to climb on. Will they get stressed out if they go without foliage (she has two short vines with leaves on them, but mostly branches so she...

She is a veiled. I will double check to see, but I'm almost 100% sure that they're safe. I'll check again.

I told my husband to put two or three on a paper plate on the ground near the base of the potted lucky bamboo we have in there.

So, I got my chameleon yesterday, tried feeding her, she just hissed at it. My husband tried feeding her today to no avail. I'm assuming they take 2-3 days to adjust long enough to feel comfortable eating? I'll keep trying to feed her once a day. Any suggestions on how to feed?

Well, I wrote the company yesterday saying that if they didn't clean up their act, that I was going to sue for animal endangerment and animal abuse. Got an email this morning from the owner of petsmart saying they would contact my local store. And even asked if I would go in and give them...

That's incase you want to know the temperature on the inside of your neighbors living room.

I just got my veiled today. I got her from the pet store, and man was she mad when it was time to go home. The "reptile handler" was freaking out, people were surrounding us, telling their kids to "look", finally I got eye contact with her, placed my hand out, and she went from being...

I'm brand new to this forum. I just got Charma, a 10 month old veiled chameleon. I got her from petsmart and not a moment too soon. Although I'm a little mad that I gave that store money, I'm glad I saved her. She was in a 10x10x10 enclosure with only regular lights (no uvb, Uva or basking...
