(Disclaimer: this is mainly because I thought people would be interested in case the same issue ever happens to their cham. I am not looking for advice or diagnoses, please. Leave that to my vet :) ) Hello, A while back, I posted about Jean-Luc's appetite being low. It's still lower than...

I apologize for being so lengthy in advance. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male veiled chameleon, turned 3 years 4 days ago, I have had him since he was 4 months old. Handling - Most days. Feeding - Recently switched back to crickets after several months where he would ONLY eat...

Hi guys, I don't really have any major issues to go over with you all, but I did want to talk about my vet visit with Jean-Luc the other day and run something by you. I suspected he had a mild/early case of a respiratory infection because he was tilting his head up, very slightly increased...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted. Jean-Luc, my veiled, turned two this month. It's been a rocky year for us, with three moves and him being incredibly stressed at one of the locations I lived for three months -- the layout of the mini studio made it such that in order to fit...

I'm currently in a discussion elsewhere regarding the synthesis of D3 in reptiles. The care guide states (and many veterinary sources say the same) that: Excessive vitamins in the diet, especially vitamin D3, can lead to toxicity, and some species are more sensitive to overdose toxicity...

Hello all, Let's assume we are talking about reptiles not receiving a D3 supplement. Captive reptiles can suffer from an excess of D3 due to over-supplementation. However, in the wild, reptiles receive D3 from UVB exposure and their food only. My question is, if I were to put a desert uvb...

He's already clearly got one scale missing on the bottom part closer to his head. I suspect this is a burn but wanted you guys to look at it as well. I feel sick about it :(

Hi everyone, today I encountered a behavior from my 1 year old male veiled that I've never seen before! I took him outside with me while I took the trash out, and on the way back in, Jean-Luc looked at me head on, puffed out his chin as far as he could, and did a weird little head jiggle at...

Hi guys, it's been a while since I've been on the forums. Jean-Luc is over a year old now. I just moved residences, and he's understandably rather freaked. I expected him to be put off his food and act a little weird for a while, but I wanted to know how long it took your chameleons to...

Hey guys, it's finally getting quite cold here, and I realized that it's 65 degrees in my room! (which as far as I know, is pretty much the lowest temp I should go for my chameleon). It costs too much to heat the whole room, so I want to add heat to my guy's cage at night. After browsing...

My little brown anole laid an egg last night! It could be fertile because she was with living with a male not long ago. I candled the egg with a flashlight (without turning it or moving it!) and saw a red formation, it looked like an embryo to me, but I wasn't sure if it was too early for it to...

Hi guys, 2 days ago, I took home a male and female brown anole. They seem to be doing well (eating, pooping, drinking), but I am having trouble finding information on things like supplementing and appropriate feeders for this species. For example: unlike chameleons, are mealworms a good feeder...

Here's 6 month old Jean-Luc getting some morning sunshine on my window screen! He loves it~

Here he is!!! I crocheted him myself :D The pattern is by Planetjune.com . He does happen to be for sale at http://www.etsy.com/shop/dragonsroyaltearoom, but I kind of just wanted to show him off, haha. I am also crocheting one in bright blue to be a nosy be chameleon.

Hi, lately I've noticed how sharp Jean-Luc's claws are! He has a SUPER strong grip, so his claws are actually puncturing my skin or leaving indentations. Anyone else have this problem? I thought his branches would smooth his claws down a bit.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Male veiled, 6 months old. I've had him for about 6 weeks. Handling - Every day, up to 15 minutes. Feeding - Large crickets, this week gutloaded with orange, apple...

Sometimes I feel like I start too many threads! I searched but couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. I'm considering getting a hibiscus for my cham, but I'm not sure what to do with the grow light it needs. I'd prefer not to get a tube light as another hood would be way too...

Hi again. Jean-Luc is getting progressively more unfriendly, and in the past few days he's started to lunge at me when I put my hand in the cage! Before, he would hiss sometimes, but not every time. He hasn't handfed since day 2 of me having him. I've had him for about 5 weeks now. I'd...

Hopefully this is the right place for this. I am a recent graduate with a bachelor's degree in biology, and I wanted to do a sort of interview with any biologists on this board with a master's, Phd, or in progress on either. I am especially interested in those of you studying ecology...

Hey guys, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with drainage. Somehow, I didn't anticipate just how darn WET everything would be, haha. Right now, I have my 18" x 18" screen cage with pvc floor sitting in a water heater drain pan (like this"...
