    Chameleon Health Declines after Another Batch of Eggs

    Hi, I was curious if anyone has any suggestions about a chameleon laying batches of eggs several times a year. My chameleon lays 2-3 batches throughout the year, and it has caused MBD in her. She just had another batch, and now she's really inactive. She seems to sit around a lot, sleep a...

    New Cage Build!

    Hi All, I just completed the build on my new cage. I designed it to house all components (such as misting water reservoir, motor, electrical components, food, other items needing storage. I also built it in a modular fashion, with 4 removable sections, for ease of movement and...

    Pothos and Golden Pothos? Difference or same?

    Hi all, I found some really good deals on "Pothos" plants at Home Depot. What I'm confused about is that I know "Golden Pothos" is a safe plant for chameleons, but this plant is just labeled "Pothos". I'm pretty sure the plant is safe but I wanted to run it by you guys and see what anyone...

    MESH Discussion - Best Practices

    Hi all, I made this thread in hopes that we discuss what the best kind of mesh is to use when building a new cage. Here are some things to consider below: Metal vs Plastic Size of the grid (don't want cham to get little nails stucks and hurt him/herself) Waterproof (metals that don't...

    Humidity Distribution

    Hello everyone, quick question: let's say a cage size is 2' x 2' x 4' or something, it doesn't matter really. Does anyone have hygrometers at multiple levels of their cage and get different reading or does humidity tend to be the same throughout the cage, from top to bottom?

    Taking Temp/Hum Readings (Best Place/Practices)

    Greetings all, I'm in the process of researching and gathering information for a new cage build. I plan on having digital sensors for temperature and humidity. My question is where is the best place to take readings? Top, Bottom, Middle. Should I have multiple sensors spread out? I'm trying...

    Cham fell, looks broken :/

    Hi everyone, Currently in the search for available vets, but wanted to get any opinions here. My chameleon fell and got tangled into a little net in her cage. I'm assuming maybe she broke her leg or cut her circulation off, and now I'm scared the leg will have to be amputated. When I got...

    My Cham is looking quite fat

    Hi there, Pascala, my chameleon, is looking somewhat fat. Her stomach kind of bulges, but maybe it was just the angle I was looking at. I know she'll eventually need to lay eggs, but I don't really know the signs. She's about 10 months old. I have a potted plant, and not sure if that's...

    What do you do with *your* cham poop?

    Hi everyone, So I have a little bit different setup (that many like to voice their 2 cents about), but I have an exo-terra cage therefore it has substrate in the bottom. Now the thing is, and most people must have this problem, my chameleon poop is building up. It's hard to get to some areas...

    Mushrooms Growing in Substrate

    Hi everyone, I recently got a nice Mist King mister and re-did my chameleons cage. Put a new live plant in (an umbrella) and new substrate down. It's been about a week or so now, and I see little tiny stems rising from the surface of the bottom with little heads on them. I'm fairly certain...

    Tail (end of) looks pinched :/

    I've included some pictures. I came home today, and my poor chameleon's tail looked different than when I had left her earlier in the day. Her tail is brownish and flat. As you can hopefully see in my bad quality photos, nearly a centimeter of the end of her tail is messed up. I've done a...

    Ferns and Spores?

    Hi everyone, I was curious, since ferns produce spores, are they really okay in a chameleon cage? They're a great plant at taking a lot of water. Also, any primary live plant suggestions? I'd like a primary plant that has a decent stalk my cham can climb all over and up to the top of the...

    Advanced Cage Concepts: Safely Planting the Bottom

    Hi Everyone, I am preparing a new home for my veiled, Pascala. I know many of you might complain that I got an Exo Terra, but I has ventilation and I've already bought it, so I'm not here to talk about that, but planting the bottom. Thank you for your friendly responses! :) I will be creating...

    Help making new cage, plants and such

    Hi everyone, I'm getting a big, new cage to hold my lovely chameleon and would like to put some live plants in it, but I have a couple of questions. 1. My first concern is, do I re-pot the plant, using some other kind of soil? I don't want any kind of dangerous soil to hurt her. 2...

    Veiled Digging Question

    Hi everyone, I recently got a veiled chameleon probably a week and a half ago. I think I was told she's about a month or month and a half old, so I assume about two months maybe. Well, I saw her kind o running around the cage digging here them there, like a frenzied dog looking for a buried...

    Veiled Watering

    Hi there, I'm new to this community and excited to be here. I recently got a beautiful Veiled Chameleon and would like to learn more about making sure she has the water she needs. I just over worry sometimes and want to make sure. Currently I use a spray bottle and I spray moisture onto the...
