Also, the bugs aren't bought. My mom breeds them since she has reptiles.

I’m going to preface this by saying two things: 1) This is a happy post!! 2)Skip to eight section to skip the story time. I went to my usual cricket place and the lady recognized me and asked about his appointment. When we told her, another person told us that we should go to another vet, and...

Hi and welcome to both you and cute little Yoshi. :) I’m so glad that you’re here and wanting to learn and give Yoshi his very best life. He will be needing more, as you are already aware. It looks like you bought the ZooMed chameleon kit, which will work for only a very short time. The most...

He definitely got a bigger cage. The hybrid cage would never dry out. I got him a screen cage, but it slowly started falling apart. I got a bird cage and lined the inside with screen. He's been in it for at least 6 months. He's got all real plants now. There is a person here where I live that...

Hi. :) It’s hard to tell if she’s got eggs yet or not without better pics of her. I’d guess she may be receptive though and/or restless because she needs more in her enclosure. I can see that your uvb appears right and I love that you’ve got only live plants. You just need to add many more...

Hi and welcome. :) The current standard for uvb lighting is a T5 with either a 5.0 or 6% bulb. The fixture needs to be long enough to span the width of the enclosure. Since the enclosure you have is a bit small and will need to be upgraded to at least the minimum 2x2x4’, I advise getting a 24”...

Thank you so much! Sorry it took me so long to reply. I made all the changes you suggested. I took him to the vet and they said he has a mild upper respiratory infection but he is getting treated for it now. I also got an X-ray and they said it’s just an old break on some of his ribs and it...

As some of you may have seen from my first thread, I promised to post some of my observations of wild populations here to aid in husbandry, enclosure ideas, and increase the amount of data regarding Chamaeleo calyptratus' habitat preferences. Here in Florida, we have an excellent tropical...

I feel you. I worry about taking my Chams to the vet because it’s such a stressful experience for them. One thing that might be helpful is changing your ‘travel’ enclosure for her. Chameleons get more stressed when they can see and there is a lot of movement around. I’ll show you what I use...

Just my baby is 6 months old why r they saying 10.0 for veild chameleons ? I'm just going to get the 24inch 5.0 for now and if later I need the 10.0 I'll get the 10.0 I'm done worrying about this

I do see several changes that will need to be made. General Information Name: Iggy Age: 3-5 months Looks about right Sex: male? Yes. Males have the vertical bars of color, like Iggy does. If you look at his back feet, you’ll also see he has these protruding nubs, called tarsal spurs that...

Hello Chameleon Friends! I purchased a male Jacksons from Frank Payne and he arrived early yesterday morning. I am not sure what I am going to name him yet. I like Bilbo Baggins and my daughter likes Igor. Thoughts? I am following the care guide from the Chameleon Academy for a Jacksons, he...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? His cage is glass with a screen top it is 3.5x4x3 and is a bio active enclosure Unusual to find a glass enclosure so large…at least here across the pond. Lighting - What brand, model, and types of...

Thak you! I will do that. Just to be clear, “cfl light” is the uv bulb, not the heating bulb, righti Thank you so much for your time and your elaborate answer! I’m starting to gahter all the things that you mentioned to make his life easier, and will start building a bigger enclosure. Thank you...

Good luck! I'd bring the following: 1. Travel container for your cham with stick and towel inside. 2. Recent fecal for testing. If you find some the day before, put it in a plastic baggie & refrigerate it. 3. Picture of your enclosure. 4. Detailed list of your care and husbandry. 5. List of...

Hi and welcome! :) That looks and sounds like you’re most definitely on the right track. I do have some feedback for you. You really need more distance between the basking light and where your chameleon can get to. At the current distance it looks like he is at high risk for getting burned. If...

Hello Everyone!!! Yesterday, I was surprised with a Veiled Chameleon, and I would like to share her with you all!! 🦎 Daffie is an adult female Veiled Chameleon. The breeders are pretty sure she is around 1 1/2 years old or so. She looks healthy, she's been eating, urinating, and basking, but I...

Hi and welcome. :) The whole egg laying process is sooo nerve wracking, but our sweet ladies know what to do. When I know the time is close, I hang a light sheet over the lower half of the enclosure so she’ll have privacy. If she isn’t in her basking area, I’ll listen carefully for a few minutes...

Hi and welcome. :) Just an fyi - this thread is nine years old. That’s ok though…resurrecting old thread isn’t that uncommon. I haven’t read thru this thread, but I can say that the material of the enclosure you use, whether it be glass, screen or hybrid, should depend on the environmental...

Here’s how I travel with my chameleons.
