Be careful with the heat pak if you use one…you want to put it in the side of the box rather than under it so you don’t burn the bottom of the chameleons feet. I always used a hot water bottle and always wrapped it in a towel. BTW, I live in Canada too.

@MissSkittles said…”I grab a small flashlight and go in at night in the dark when my chameleon is asleep”…this is a trick I learned in the first couple of years of chameleon keeping. They seem to sleep deep!

In the first photo she is showing mustardy splotches that indicate that she is sexually mature, so she could produce infertile eggs any time now. Wether she will or not depends on your husbandry…temperatures, etc and on how much and what you feed her with and even somewhat on what you feed the...

What can he see from the other areas? Mirror, window, etc?

What did the rock look like? Can you post a photo of it? Is it a veiled? Male?

Glad she’s on the mend! I always think you can see a look of indignity on their faces when we do the care required to keep the wound clean!

So sorry you lost it…but it may have been damaged too much by the cold and other things going on in its life before you found it. ❤️

I remember…you brought the frozen brown anole into your house to try to save it. Did you put it in a different room than your chameleon? Could your chameleon see it? Sorry you lost the anole…you gave it a chance at a longer life…but it might have been it’s time to go when you found it. ☹️ Is...

Please do start your own thread so we don’t have to keep rereading the OP’s posts in order to get to yours…in the meantime though…your female needs to have a proper lay box set up asap…and she needs complete privacy so she will lay her eggs and not become eggbound, or worse. Here you go…...
