i have had my fischers chameleon for just over a year now. he seems happy overall and very explorative. he pretty much gets free run of the apartment whenever i am here and he climbs onto me or my girlfriend freely and with very little hesitation. my current inquiry is related to feeding. i...

been a while since i posted on here, but my guy has luckily been very healthy and active. today though when he was on a bookshelf i went to get him and he had pooped with normal white urate but also a small puddle of clear watery liquid. i have his light on a timer, so i'm not usually around for...

so i look over and my guy is sitting with his mouth open. then he starts swinging his head back and forth and opening it wider. when i opened his cage he stopped and ran right over to my hand like always. wtf??

so sometimes when he's walking i can see his ribs. not when he is sleeping, and not always. to be honest, i don't remember this about my veiled. his eyes are wide open and he has a good grip, so is it maybe just because they are hinged ribs and they move against his skin?

so i have had my fisher's named fletcher for about 3 weeks now, and today i took him outside for the first time. he seemed to enjoy being perched on my hand and looking around, but he was fairly dark for most of the walk. in general he eats every day/every other day, goes to bed at roughly the...

ok, so stupid question here, but my cham was hanging out in a window plant today and the radiator was on about a foot and a half under him. he was fine and doing his chilled out lazy arm hanging sit, but when i put my hand out for him to climb on he was actually warm instead of his usual cool. i...

what is a good branchy bush like plant that is less than 30 inches tall(including pot) that can deal with being misted daily so that he can climb on it and drink from it?

what are mites? what do they look like? how bad are they? how does one rid a chameleon of said mites? my guy has on one of his horns a black rectangular shaped thing/stuff that resembles mildew. i soaked a q-tip in saline solution and rubbed at it, and found that if i rubbed hard, some of it...

so i think i may have asked this before, but how much should a fischer's chameleon eat every day? i'm gonna say he is full grown even though i was told he is a juvenile, as he is over a foot from head to tip of tail, and he eats only 1 or 2 crickets at a time, usually about 2-3 a day max. could...

soi've been on this forum for about a week now, and it has been very informative, though for the most part i feel people seem to focus on the downsides of things rather than the awesome things these particular creatures are capable of. so! what i want is stories from people about...

earlier today my guy was kindof smacking his lips a bit. it looked like he had some thick goo in his mouth. it went away after he swallowed, so i wasn't too concerned. i've been told that fischers are hard to keep, but he has been active since i got him(about a week ago) and he doesn't seem to...

so i have been feeding my fischer's chameleon crickets, and he didn't show any interest in mealworms, so what else could i try and feed him? its likely boring to just eat crickets all the time. also, he never seems interested in the dusted crickets, so could i put the liquid calcium supplement i...

anyone use them or have any experience with them? good or bad? i'm looking at one that is 18" deep by 30" wide by 30" high. mostly i like the door set up better than the reptibreeze since it seems to allow climbing rope/branch to be put on the outside to allow him to come and go without the...

i'm not sure about what my guy has been doing, but he very much enjoys sitting in a peace lily we have. right now his tail is all spiraled up and he is the same colour he gets when he sleeps. he seems to only really be hanging on with his two back feet and his right front hand. his left hand is...

his urate is white and his feces seems fine. what is the best time of day for the heavy misting? i assume morning due to dew and all. thus far i like noticing the difference between my new guy (fischer's) and my old guy (veiled) new guy has not showed much interest in food beyond crickets...

i think my chameleon would spend all day out of his terrarium if he could. he is a fischer's, and i used to keep a veiled in an umbrella tree with a heat light over it in my living room. this guy is in a glass exo terra terrarium that i am hoping very soon to switch with a reptibreeze screen...

i have a new fletchers chameleon. and i was wondering if my general room temperature is in the high 70s right now and in general if i need to have the heat lamp on? i am using an incadessent night glow bulb for warmth, and i have 75 and 50 watt infra red bulbs for if it gets colder. right now...

so i've recently obtained a fischer's chameleon, and it seems fairly healthy. this is my second chameleon as i have had a veiled a few years ago that i got when it was 2 and it lived for 2 years with me in a tree in my living room. problem is that in general, i can not find very much information...
