Search results for query: Get chameleon out of cage

I would avoid using tape of any kind in a chameleon cage. Moisture from the cage will cause it to lift off the surface. This can become a particularly unsafe thing with chams. We have seen everything from chams trying to eat it to getting it stuck to their skin and it pulling their skin from...

First post here so please let me know if I leave anything out and I will comment! We have a baby ambilobe panther chameleon right at 2.5 months old. He is in a 24x24x48 bioactive enclosure. We have been feeding gutloaded crickets (repashys bug burger dusted with calcium plus) and giving right...

Thanks for the advice. I am going to get her a new UVB light that was recommended and going to put her back into the house! She currently hasn’t been eating much since her eyes are closed. When she was eating I was supplementing her with vitamin D3 twice a month and without D3 every feeding.

Hey! I’m needing educated recommendations for my panther chameleon! She’s been sick about 6 weeks, loss of appetite, dehydrated, closed eyes, lethargic. I’ve taken her to the vet 2 weeks ago, they did an ultrasound to check for eggs. (None seen) they treated for parasites just in case. They...

I’ll have to buy the kit, I didn’t realize I’d be paying 600 dollars minimum. I’m trying to get a 3 month old Panther Cham off of morph market, or an expo I’m going to on the 9th. Not buying off a chain store no matter what. Is it better to get the standard kit because of my time restraint? I...

Hi everyone, new chameleon owner here. Also new forum user here… please forgive me in advance for my site illiteracy. Please let me know what kind of other information you need on our girl, but here are the basics: we’ve had her for around 3 weeks-a month, she’s probably 5-6 months old...

I would agree with @jamest0o0 if you had a bio-active enclosure. With a bio-active you are building a system that is interdependent. In a basic cage you don't have the same micro and macro organisms "cleaning" things up (if that in fact works). In a basic cage setup you definitely don't get the...

Just never get your kids a habittrail cage for a hamster and you will survive what is every parents hell. On a serious note I think you would have to do it with panels that open. Maybe plexi glass with tons of holes drilled through all panels but the bottom. I dunno I feel more prone to a room...

Your Chameleon - 1 year old male veiled chameleon named Ollie and he’s been in my care since January of 2025 Handling - I handle my chameleon everyday for at least a few minutes before work. Am changing their (have two but filling out a separate one for her) schedules to be able to interact with...

lol well I promise you I know my stuff when it comes to chameleons. ;) Run the UVB fixture in the middle of the cage from one side to the other. Place branches below that 8-9 inches down with a 5.0 or 6% bulb in a single bulb T5HO fixture sitting directly on the top screen. This will give the...

I can’t bear to watch that video. Will a fully grown mantis wipe out the pests or do you need their hatchlings? I know for soil gnats, I get mantis ootheca and let it hatch out inside my enclosures. Of course, my chams are very efficient at making sure no mantids survive long.

Hey there. You will want to adjust the size of the cage your setting up. An adult needs a 4 foot tall enclosure. 32 wide is great but the 16 inches deep is too shallow. Take it out to 24 or no less than 20 deep if you keep the width. Keep in mind fixture lengths... Might consider taking it to...

I've pasted in a form for you to fill out so I can comb through your husbandry and make sure all is well there. I'll also note that it would be most helpful to get pics of the entire set up, including the lights and how your chameleon looks. From this photo alone, and I really do hate to be the...

My dude is pretty shy, he doesn't try to hiss or bite me ever he usually just tries to go hide somewhere if he is upset. I also have noticed that anytime I wear red, he must think I'm going to eat him or something because he shrinks himself up and hides behind whatever branch he is on to break...

Hello everyone! I had a quick question about cage location. I have a male panther chameleon (named Geo) that is coming up on 3 years old. He’s doing great in the room he’s in which is on the second floor in an office space, little foot traffic, dog doesn’t go in there, lots of natural light...

Oh my! I did not even catch the water, very good eye. Chameleons don't exactly have the build to swim competently. 💦 Just look at their cute little mittens and you'll understand why! Beman always has sagely advice. For further information on how to get a thriving chameleon set up, please stop...

It looks like the bottom is actually bioactive. If it is; the fans not really doing anything, you'd want the fan on the top of the screen pulling the air out... Welcome to the forum! I like the little glass balls with the pothos, that's a neat idea! I love that you had a call with Neptune and...

she’s a veiled female chameleon, & she has been in my care since june 1st. i’ve asked around on here and they said she’s at least 5-6 months. i don’t handle her at all, only when i need to get her out the cage to give it a full clean because since the plants are touching the floor and not hung...

Look to the end of my looonngg part 2. There’s a lot of places on line to get info about keeping chameleons, but very few to get the correct info. Of course, the forum is one and as you see, gives personalized feedback, individual help, understanding, etc...
