    Littlefoot & Mr. Jack photo dumps

    Awesome! That’s about my perspective with all of mine too, but I’m only barely 5’. We need those types of curtains with ceiling tracks like they have in hospitals. 😂 I have a freestanding pole thing that I’m always bumping into and knocking down.

    I took the plunge-Meet Eja

    Congrats! I was just day dreaming about getting some of these little beauties the other day. 🥰 Not to rain on your parade, but she does look quite thin and dehydrated. With your excellent care though, she should bounce back from the effects of shipping and go on to thrive. You’ve become such a...

    Best ways to feed my 3-6 month old veiled chameleon?

    I use and like the shooting gallery (link already provided above) and it has been simple enough to make my own version of one. The hardest part was dulling the edges of the opening so my chams won’t injure their feet if they grab it (and they do grab it). There are several similar style feeders...

    can't stick tongue out after vet

    Oh…ok. I’m in Brevard too…Cocoa. :) I have the ac on just about year round so that helps immensely with humidity. My humidity stays around 45-55%, which is a fair enough compromise since I have panthers and veileds. There was an ok vet at Cocoa Veterinary Hospital that was decent enough with...

    Where is the best place to get hornworms

    This is hilarious! 😂 I’ve had hawkmoths escape their enclosure and flying free thru my home until I could catch it. 😧 I do always kind of shudder a bit too when the conical end of the pupa moves.

    Is there such thing as to much stuff?

    I would remove the artificial plants from the inside. I have mine hung on the outside of my doors to give my chams a sense of more privacy/hiding.

    can't stick tongue out after vet

    I’m also in Florida and humidity has been a struggle at certain times of the year. I do have 3 double sized chameleon enclosures in a smaller bedroom, which doesn’t help things. Whatever humidity is too much for the central ac, I have a room dehumidifier to use. Since all are screened enclosures...

    can't stick tongue out after vet

    I don’t know enough to say if the tongue issue is related or not. It doesn’t seem like it would be, but 🤷‍♀️. I feel ya with the injections into those poor little scaly arms. Make sure to alternate the left and right, front arms only. I always tried to give a yummy treat after they’ve calmed...

    Feeding

    These may help you. Providing a variety of healthy insects is best. I don’t specifically ‘gutload’, but I do keep my feeders well fed a variety of fresh organic produce (the same items I feed to my bearded dragons) and Repashy Bug Burger to round things out. The various gels and such which are...

    Clumsy chameleon.

    Unfortunately we don’t have any vets on our list in Missouri. Looking up your local exotics vets, the clinic your girl is at looks as good as any. For a second opinion, you could try Dr Rambo at https://www.arkvetofliberty.com/ Your husbandry sources are excellent and we’re all on the same page...

    Can food that’s too big kill my panther?

    It may have scratched his throat on the way down. I would feed him softer feeders for a few days just in case. I prefer feeding much smaller feeders than my animals can handle. I just give them more to make up for it. This also helps so I can give a variety of different feeders at one meal.

    Clumsy chameleon.

    Hi and welcome! 🙂 I would seek a second opinion with another vet. What is your general location? We may be able to help you find one. If your pretty little girl had fallen and gotten an injury bad enough to cause swelling, I would expect there to be a dark or black bruise at the sight. She...

    What sources, other than the Forums, do you use to talk/learn about chameleons?

    I stick strictly to the forum. I had joined some of the Facebook groups, but they were most definitely not for me. My patience has its limits and there was just far too much idiocy and inconsistency. I enjoy the sense of community here and being able to share with others about our animals...

    Diapause for panther chameleons

    I don’t believe diapause is used for panther eggs, but let’s ask @Motherlode Chameleon

    new 4x2x4 build, would like some advice

    It’s hard to say as each cham has their own ‘things’. I wear bright red pj’s regularly and when feeding my crew and I haven’t noticed any of them seeming upset. The ceiling fans (at least the ones with brown blades) freak them out if they aren’t moving fast enough or at all. It must look like a...

    new 4x2x4 build, would like some advice

    For the scaffolding method, I only ever did this with small enclosures for baby chams. Thin wire has been one of my main tools.
