I recently was able to re-home Herbert from @Andrew1283 and he's starting to settle in nicely. I was able to get a couple of pics today before freaking him out too much, and I look forward to watching him grow and become accustomed to life here at my house.

Hi All! With Milton barreling down on those of us in FL, I figured it was a good time to brush off some helpful hints and tricks I've learned in my 20+ years of living down here. 1. Get feeders now. Don't get them shipped, unless you are paying for overnight, because they will be delayed in...

Happy 6th Hatchday to my male veiled, Turk. He's in Jann B's lineage, and I have had him with me for about 4 1/2 of those years. He's also the chameleon on my tattoo sleeve.

Hi all! So I made a mistake and ordered the 6% Arcadia instead of the 12% I actually needed. I've got 3 brand new bulbs in their boxes (and still sealed in the shipping box!) available. These are perfect for montane species, they just won't work for me. I'm looking to just re-coup what I...

I've been battling against the dreaded plant gnats for a couple of years now, and I've tried nearly everything. I tried those granules that you pour over your plants, I've tried the cider vinegar traps, and never had any success. Finally my husband lost his patience and bought the Katchy bug...

I just finished putting together a blog about how to set up a Large Clearside DragonStrand Atrium. Hope it's helpful, and now I can enter the new year having finally done what I kept promising I would! Also, this is my first attempt at a blog, so please be kind...

So I was listening to a podcast (We Got This) the other day and they were talking about animal group names, like a school of fish, etc. I realized I had no idea what a group of chameleons was called. Now yes, I realize that they are a clutch when hatched and are pretty solitary after that, but...

I just took Cecil to a new vet for some follow-up blood work. This vet did not bandage his tail at the site of the blood draw, which is different from every other vet I've seen (which are 2 other vets, admittedly) I'm just curious if a bandage on a blood draw is standard practice, or just in...

I'm getting rid of my discoid colony - they just aren't producing for me, and my chameleon hates them. Before I accidentally end up with an infestation in my house I'm giving them away. First person to contact me gets them, but you have to bring a container and pick them up. I'm located in...

For everyone who likes a good visual, here is a 2x2x4 next to a Large Clearside Atrium from Dragon Strand. Sunny is getting an upgrade, and so his new cage is next to his current one while we add plants and finish it off. Also, the difference in the UVB lighting is having a refracting hood...

Tonight my dear Kosby passed away due to kidney complications. He was 4 1/2 years old and had just gotten diagnosed. I thought we were getting onto a right track with him by upping his hydration with a dripper (in addition to his regular misting), as well as hornworms. However, it proved to...

Hi Forum Friends! I've decided to spoil my boys and get them each a Dragonstrand cage from Santa this year. They will each have the Large Atrium setup, but I have very little creativity, so please post some pics of your Dragonstrand setups so I can get/steal some ideas for setting up mine...

Hello All! I work in a major hotel down here in FL, and the powers that be have decided they want a cage with a critter by our kids' check-in station. The cage would sit on top of the station, so can only be about 6" deep, and 2' wide. Height would probably be 2' or less because I don't...

Hi Folks! I'm here in Florida and we get brush fires from time to time, so the air is a bit smoky. I'm wondering if it would be safe to let my guys out on the lanai during these times? Today was beautiful, but I was nervous because I could smell the smoke and wondered a couple of things...

Over the span of the past month I've lost 2 of my 3 chameleons. I'm not new to keeping, and thought that I had a handle on everything. However their losses have brought some things to light that I hadn't realized, so to make their lives more meaningful I thought I'd share a couple of things...

Who is planning on going to the Daytona show next month? I haven't been in a few years so figured I'd take the trip up there, and would love to meet some fellow keepers from on here! I'll have on a dark blue ,,,,Chameleon shirt, and am in my mid-30s - name is Michelle, so look for a girl...

Just wanted to give Dr. O a huge shout out of congratulations on getting into Reptiles magazine this month. He made the Breeder's Shot with a beautiful panther. Great job, you deserve it for all that you do! :D

I've had Kimani, my male veiled for 2 1/2 years now, and like most veileds he developed an attitude towards all humans. Yesterday, for the first time since he was a baby, he crawled onto my hand - I'm not sure who was more surprised! For all of you owners who despair of this ever happening...

Today my sweet Kosby turned 2, so of course I had to have a quick photoshoot. Sorry they aren't better, but my hubby is the photographer of the family!
