So, I originally had plans to get a female carpet chameleon, and I had designed an enclosure for the carpet. She was going to be in a 36 x 24 x 18 cage, with all the appropriate lighting and humidity etc. However, recently I have seen that there is a shortage of carpet chameleons, and so that as...

OK, so I need some chameleon connoisseurs to help me read my chameleons body language. I’ve had him for about a year now he’s a panther chameleon and he’s been like all my other three chameleons I have where they’re like fish and you just pretty much look at them and don’t handle them as often...

I have a 3 year old panther chameleon who has been acting ill the past couple of days. He is bright yellow and sleeps most of the time. His cage did get down to 62 degrees one night. Could that make him sick? I noticed him rubbing his eyes on some branches as well. He is normally out in my...

So the reason I’m posting this thread is because I want advice on how to tell if a hatchling crested gecko is healthy and eating after over a week and if my setup for my chameleon is ok. Crested geckos- (btw they weren’t expected AT ALL and just kinda popped up) So the gist of the situation is...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about my chameleon Gara and a problem he’s having with his left eye. I noticed something seems wrong with it, and I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to help him and figure out what might be causing it. I have noticed Gara rubbing his eye on...

Hi! I got my chameleon, Kiwi, in late July of 2025. (He was around 3-4 months old) When I got him, he was super lively and started eating right away. He climbed on my hand when I put it in his habitat, and would not want to go back in when I tried to put him back. Recently, he hasn't wanted to...

Just changed around my chameleons cage added extra plants etc. and now he doesn't want to be in his cage and he keeps on trying to climb the glass and every time I put my hand in he climbs up me and won't go back in his cage. But before he used to love being in his cage. Is he ill ?

and this will keep them from getting out?

OP, you've only had her a month, so she''s probably still settling in. Advice above is great, but I might start even slower - I have a chair in my chameleon room that does not face the cages, but instead is perpendicular to it. I bring a book and just read. As they watch you and get more...

I’m making an outdoor enclosure for my panther chameleon Charles. He has an indoor enclosure that’s properly set up but for something to do me and my dad are making an outdoor enclosure for him to go in during the day occasionally. We haven’t built anything yet but I’m just wondering how long...

One issue I can see with experimenting with diet is that you might cause the chameleon some health issues such as MBD if the diet isn’t balanced….and it will just be suddenly obvious not show up slowly enough to correct before it does damage. You need someone with more knowledge of nutritional...

Thanks for the advice

Hey everyone this is my first post, and I have a few concerns and questions. Its a long one so I’ll give some background info, so bear with me. My daughter has been going through some health issues and wanted an emotional support pet. Long story short, we went out looking and she fell in love...

Only put Walking Sticks in the chameleons enclosure when feeding the Walking Sticks out. That is going to calm your never about chameleons getting bit (or other mishaps) and save your plants. Best Regards Jeremy A. Rich

Most just bond two 2x2x4 ones together if you just want a 4 ft wide 4ft tall one. Its pretty easy, just get 2 cages and 2 aluminum yard or meter sticks. Or if you can find 3/4 or 1" wide aluminum stock it would be even cheaper. Then just get some wee rust resistant nuts and bolts, drill some...

I just wrote a lot in a reply to @MissSkittles and would love to hear your thoughts on my crazy ideas as well. you sound very smart😂

Hello! It might not be a bad idea to fill out this form so we can see if all's well with his current care. Pet shops don't often offer chameleons the care they need, and seem to get longterm issues due to this as well. As far as vets, a lot will see chameleons, but finding someone who is very...

Looking for links to feeders that can get attached to screen cages without damaging it and preferable one a cricket can’t get out of, my chameleon can’t use his tongue but will eat if he can reach it without it moving everywhere, although it’s a bit difficult giving him his other food option...

Build out the cage and test all of your levels for a week. This is going to tell you what needs modification. You want to make sure that everything is set up perfectly before you purchase the chameleon. Once everything is running correctly with temps and humidity levels day and night then you...

My chameleon is a Panther chameleon. Sex is male, about little over a year. I only take him out when he wants to and most of the time he does want to. He eats crickets, Dubia roaches, rarely superworms and hornworms. He only eats about 4 or 5 insects because he’s an adult. I feed him twice a...
