I’ll have to try that. Especially if I ever get a baby chameleon. Haha

I used to bring a Calumma parsonii parsonii with me when visiting my families home in New Mexico. The important thing is to have a good travel container to keep your chameleon comfortable and health (good ventilation, some humidity and some light). I highly recommend offering water to your...

It’s hard to tell…does he have a basking branch about 8-9” below his heat light? I love your plants! You could add some more branches or vines though…more little chameleon roads to travel.

I don’t know if this will be of any help to you. For routine things, like wellness checks and fecals, pretty much any exotics vet will suffice. For a vet with more experience and knowledge with chameleons, you may need to travel a bit. Btw, I don’t think the weather anywhere is making sense.

That link isn’t working for me for some reason? Is there any way you could screenshot it and post it on this thread so I could see it please? 😅

Very nice! Your lighting looks fine. You may want to put your plant lighting on the diagonal too. Your plants will grow towards it and it could leave them with some wonky shapes. Definitely need many more branches for your guy to travel. Make sure they are different diameters to properly...

If you’re in Florida, I can possibly help you find one. If you’re elsewhere, another member is awesome at helping find vets…just let us know your general vicinity. Usually we have to travel a bit for the good vets experienced with chameleons.

This should give you some ideas. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/traveling-with-chameleons.733/

My trick is showing the bird feeder cup close to my chameleon with full of roaches. Let him see the bugs in the cup. Once he notice. Let him watch you attach the cup where you want it. He will know he will have to travel there for the rewards.

Here is our list of vets who forum members have found to have some experience/knowledge of chameleons. Often we do need to travel a bit for one.

I finally found one today! I’m trying to see if if he will eat or poop so I can at least see a urate

Hi, all! My male veiled chameleon is 5 years and 4 months old - he was diagnosed by a reputable vet as having pseudo-gout this summer. He had some random "bumps" around a couple of his joints and on his tail months ago. Since this spring, he's undergone a biopsy of his bumps (they're fluid sacs...

@jannb is usually always able to provide a great vet near people. We do have a list of vets who we have found to be good and knowledgeable with chameleons, which I’m attaching. There look to be a couple in Illinois, but the reference is a bit old, so no idea if they are still there. Often we...

I was trying this but he will literally only eat if I’m holding the bird cup. It’s crazy lol

Hi and welcome. :) While taller/bigger is better, you can get away with 3’ high imho since it has a bit extra width from the standard 2’. I do like the improvements that you’ve made. You’ve given him plenty of areas to hide, drink from and take shade in. Hard to see what branches or vines you...

Hey, Cham fam! Unfortunately, I have to travel out to the screen repair shop tomorrow morning in order to disassemble my own cage. The man who was meant to be repairing it was not confident in his ability to reassemble the cage after repairing it, so it turns out… he never even started it...

Alright so I have only had my chameleon since April and have learned so much, but I don’t think I’ve read much on chameleon keeping during the winter time. I know the proper temps the room should be in but I live with my sister and I can’t run an oil heater in the back of the house or else the...

Hi and welcome! :) You’ve found the place that can help! What type of chameleon depends on your tastes and goals. However, most commonly people start off with a veiled (aka Yemen) or panther chameleon. The panther chameleon can be further broken down into locales, or what part of Madagascar it...

I would say to follow the same rules for Arnold as for any living creature needing to evacuate. Take essentials enough for several days - food, water, supplements/medications. You’ll also need something to put him in for travel and in the event that you’re gone for several days or more, a larger...

Hi and welcome. :) Well, you have Dragon Ledges but aren’t utilizing them. These are better than sliced bread in terms of ways to hang branches and plants. You may not like my advice, but I suggest removing it all and staring over. Take some sturdy and straighter branches and secure them...
