    Aging a young female Veiled Chameleon

    Will do and thank you!!! Everyone has been very helpful! After the initial Shock, we’re very pleased. “She” won’t have egg binding trouble. No need to put a sand box in the bottom of the cage. And by mistake I got a male for the price of a female. Looking forward to great colors. But I...

    My chameleon keeps opening his mouth

    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...

    My chameleon keeps opening his mouth

    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...

    Is my chameleon about to shed!? Or do you think it’s something else? the lightness on his face just appeared in the past 2 hours maybe

    This may be helpful for you https://dragonstrand.com/constructing-a-chameleon-feeder-run/ I would do the run... Then you can load it up with 2-3 dozen tiny crickets and they stay in that area. Will make it easier on baby to find food and with all the movement it will be more enticing to eat...

    Help please

    You’ve gotten some great advice on plants and enclosure already. I’m not fully caffeinated yet, so if I repeat anything that has already been said, just smile and nod. ;) I have only had this chameleon for 1 month and she is a pied veiled chameleon. I believe she is a girl because I do not see a...

    No shed yet??

    The barium was to lubricate his stomach, I assumed that’s what would be best, so they gave him some. His poops have been normal since, and his rates are even batter, so I am glad about that. I am not sure of the type of mold, but it was most likely because we used grapevine and the hygrometer...

    Baby panther choked, now struggling

    I will reccomend two things. 1: raise your enclosure up. Height equals safety for chams. If possible, make sure the top of the enclosure is above your head. He may be stressed from being low to the ground. 2: I’m going to include a husbandry review form. If you haven’t done this yet, it can be...
