Some people recommend not handling new chameleons for around 2 weeks, so he may be stressed. Not to mention you said he is in a high traffic area. I would try to move the cage to a quieter place, not handle him, and mist!!!!! If the water is warm my Nosy be loves to sit in the mist.

Whoops, I misread the one day part, disregard what I said. Sorry!!!

If he isn't pooping you may want to stop or slow feeding. chameleons don't need to eat every day and can go extended periods of time without food. Allow for him to digest his food, they need to bask to digest their food aswell so be sure he has access to his basking location. I'd do that for...

Chameleons definitely have sharp teeth!! I found out when feeding my little girl Kami a butterworm and where her tooth pierced the worm on her first bite a thin stream of worm juice shot me right in the glasses and sprayed all over my face..... Just thought I'd share!!! My GF thought I smelt...

Thanks a lot for that video!!! It was really informative, if anyone elae isn't sure about the best bulb then you should watch!

For sure. I'll be getting a linear bulb very soon!!!! I had thouht that mercury vapor bulbs put off way more uvb, I guess I was misinformed!! Thanks again!!! Constructive criticism is always welcome here!!!

Mercury vapor bulbs do put off UV. She was basking under it this morning. No worries, on the lecturing thing i mean. You're just being helpful!! The mercury vapor bulb is just too hot to place very close, so I raise it and check temps often to be sure she isnt getting to hot.

Right now she only has the mercury vapor bulb because that was what was recommended to me at the store where i purchased her. After reading many posts on here I'm swapping to a 2 light system, with a reptisun 5.0 and a 60 watt house bulb. I'll just keep the mercury vapor and use it for uvb and a...

Thanks for the compliments and advice!! Ill have to tell Kami about how she's just a little cutie when i let her out in a minute :D

Thats Awesome!! I only just started to free range my girl and she is so happy its hard to stop adding more!! I feel like eventually there is going to be vine running around my entire room!! :p

People are always talking about how they want their chameleon to like them or climb on them. Since ive set up the Free Range She climbs on me or anyone who gets close enough now so she can try to get from you to the free range lol. She has no fear anymore, or atleast the desire to get on her...

Ive had My little Nosy Be Panther for about 3 months now and she has been doing very well!! I threw up a make shift frree range for her recently and she has been going crazy for it. If it was up to her she would spend all her time on the free range, it's very apparent when she sits at her door...

I currently have a female Nosy Be Panther and she is always roaming around her free range and has been looking for a friend!!! I want to get a Nosy Be so that if by chance they breed then I would have a clutch of pure Nosy Be's. PMs with any information on available Nosy Be Males would be...

I recently placed a vine into my chameleons cage and ran it to the ceiling above the cage so my girl can come out.. now every morning she comes to the front of the cage and waits for me to make the vine available to her so she can come out.. its my make shift free range.. anyways when she comes...

I like his colors a lot!! Very pretty boy you got there!!!

The petsmarts that are all in my area only have calcium with D3. I don't know if this might have been a problem with your chameleon but they should only have Calcium with D3 about twice a month. You also need a calcium without D3 that should be fed every/most feedings. D3 can build up in your...

Sometimes after a meal my chameleon will get on her basking branch and lean all the way over and puff herself up really large and turn her darkest colors. Just maximizing surface area to get the most from the light. Not saying that's what yours is doing but it kind of sounds like it.

I'm kind of New to chameleons but when i got my female I was given a list of things to do to keep her from laying eggs and being receptive. One thing was lower temps make it seem as if its winter or fall(temp of around 80) and that way they will be less likely to lay eggs or be receptive...

Those reds look like fire streaking off him!!! Too cool!!!:D

6 months is recommended, some bulbs claim to last longer.... But the uvb output can decrease even if the light hasn't burnt out. :D
