I've tried phoning the other vet who lives around 2 hours away but was currently operating. He's going to phone me back when available. Based on Summoner's photo. I think it is likely this is the result of a burn. At the moment, I'm primarily worried about the risk of infection. The...

worried I came across this thread during a search. Today, I noticed what looks like it might be a similar problem with my Chameleon. Does anyone else think it looks like it might the same thing?. My initial thought was this could be a result of a burn. I think I made a mistake in the...

Yet again, if you have the evidence (I'm not saying you don't but I haven't seen it), post links to it so people can read it. My view is we should make our decisions based on evidence which is properly gathered and documented in a scientific way. I'm not saying they can't become impacted but I...

Your example doesn't back up the claim that a chameleon can die from the soil in the plant pot as a. the chameleon didn't die and b. it wasn't from the soil in the plant pot it was from the plant itself. The other example I haven't seen so can't comment on it but if you can link to it, that...

That's a stupid example as it's long been established that electricity can kill. Electrical sockets where I live (UK) are designed so you can only realisticly complete a circuit with the earth connection plugged in, which opens up the other two contacts. I've even heard some people claim that a...

Adorable baby chameleon.

I still haven't seen a documented case of half of the things regularly posted here as safety concerns.

I've had them try and latch onto me before and I've even had them crawl around my hand but to say bitten would be inaccurate. They're claw type things around their mouth are pretty hardy/strong but that shouldn't be confused with being bitten. I would never bother vandalising an insect as...

I'm guessing this is the thing being referred to. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/glow_light.php

That's interesting. My hibiscus plants are still in early years and small but they have comparatively few leaves although have been improving recently, especially since changing my UV light to Arcadia D3. I've had a Pothos for a few weeks, which wont fit in the chameleon cage with other plants...

Yellow dung suggests a level of dehydration. If you increase the humidity, it should make it more difficult for the cham to get dehydrated. You can increase the humidity by adding plants and you could also consider putting something solid over some of the sides of the chameleon cage to contain...

Do you have a dripper set up? Eating leaves is often a way of getting hydration and a lot of chams will only drink from moving water. They eat plant matter in the wild so I wouldn't worry about it, unless he eats huge quantities of it.

I must have had the best part of 100 of them and none of them ever bred. Admittedly, I fed them off fairly quickly so they were only in my house for a few weeks and I think another reason was the temperature was too cold. I'd probably expect a large number of them for that price here.

If you have your temperature at basking spot around 30-31 C (probably around 10cm away from light/roof) then they shouldn't be able to realistic burn themselves. You can get artificial bendable jungle vines which have a few of. I attached them using cable ties and leaning them off things...

I don't think I saw any Hibiscus in Ikea but there was Ficus Benjamina, a selection of other possible plants and some fairly expensive (although quite impressive) bonsai ficus benjamina. They had much Hedera Helix which is collective name for Ivy and they didn't specify what type of Ivy each...

I got my Ficus Benjamina from a local garden centre and my Ficus Gingsen Bonsai from a different local garden centre. I bought 3 small Hibiscus trees + Ficus 'exotica' off ebay. A few days a go I got 3 Flaming Katies (only 98p each) + Devils Ivy (Pothos) (around £4.98) from B&Q. B&Q had quite...

What conditions did you keep them in? How big? Did it have a heat source? Did they seem healthy when you got them? Baring in mind the time of year, I would suggest the low temperature combined with dampness (i.e water without heat to evaporate it) would be the most likely thing to kill...

Completely circumstantial and quite possibly unrelated but I've been sneezing ever since I bought one yesterday. Also, make sure your other pets (i.e cats) or family members don't eat it before it goes in.

I would suggest looking further into the possibility of ordering insects off the internet. Unless there are very strict laws about moving insects about where you live, I'd be surprised if you can't find something. Maybe try to find a reptile forum which is more locally based to you and you will...

I remember this discussion before (link in an above post) and what I gathered was Pinkie Mice contained little that was useful for a chameleon and mainly fat. There are far more suitable mice to feed chameleons also. One guy fed his chameleons the occasional Quail chick and apparently they are...
