I was just wondering if caraway seeds were safe to use in gutload mixes? Would they be beneficial and would insects like the taste or be repeled by them:confused:?

I know this is a bit random.... and may not be something that relates to chameleons (being tree dwellers as apposed to floor dwellers) but does anyone here practice 'earthing' and if so is it possible that same benefits that humans reap from it could apply to our animals in some way?

:mad: I do not understand why non of my local pet shops sell plain old PURE CALCIUM anymore? Calcium with d3.... calcium with a multitude of vits and minerals....Calcium balancers for chams/torts/iggies etc but not pure unadulterated calcium. When I ask why they no longer stock it I get the same...

I have a male veiled which I have owned for nearly 4 years. I don't know for sure how old he was when I got him. I think 2 or 3 was mentioned but his age was not really known. I think he may well be an old man by now. I have noticed him a few times getting his cask caught on branches and...

this is probably a stupid question but does over supplimentation of calcium not cause a magnesium deficiency like it does in humans?

When a female chameleon has been spade, will she still go through the motions of being gravid ie restlesness, digging, loss of appitite etc?

Anyone here own a skunk?

Is it OK for veiled chams to eat black currants once in a while? I have black/red currants and raspberries and alpine strawberries growing in my garden. I know too much fruit is not a good idea but can they have a little bit now and then....not too sure of the nutritional content of the...

I am curious about the amount of UV through glass? First of all let me just emphersize that none of my chams are in glass vivs or are put near windows to get UV etc but I was just wondering if the windows in America (which I understand have glass which is designed to not let UV through) are...

my cham is desperatly ill. she is all blown up her grip is worsening my the minute and she gasps every now and then... please help

I am very curious to know about baby chameleons in the wild....I read on here and other places too of baby chameleons having trouble breaking out of there eggs etc and it makes me wonder what the percentage is of wild baby chams that make it. In captivity the babies only have the struggle of...

Most animals that are kept in captivity thrive better with proper enrichment.....so are chams really that different? I know that they like their diet varied....but generally don't like change much.... Do our chams get bored???

My cham has been restless wandering all over the viv for a few days now which usually means that she is looking for a mate/expecting eggs. I have put her laying bin in the viv for her. She has layed eggs before with no major problems. She has never been mated. This morning I noticed in the place...

:( Had my male veiled put to sleep yesterday... I'm totally gutted. The vet said we had done everything right for him but it was an old spinal injury that was healling wrong, he had sustained it long before we got him and this had caused him to have problems with his back legs the last two days...

My gravid cham who has been doing a bit of test digging for a few days actually started digging in ernest yesterday, which was a good thing... but when I got home from work she was still inside the hole! I did not want to disturb her at this point so left her there for an hour or two then...

Reptile keepers I imagine generally have high electric bills due to the extra lights etc so do any of you have any energy saving ideas which may help us all with our carbon footprint thingie but which do not have a bad effect on our chams!

I took Juliette outside in the garden with me. She was a bit nervous I think and hated my phone when I tried to photographer her. I think the sun was reflecting on it or something. She had a bit of a hissy fit so I amandond taking any more LOL.

I personally prefer the idea of greens in vivs however there does seem to be very differeing oppinions that I keep coming across. What colours can your chams see in their enclosure? I noticed on another post on the forum that a member said they were going to change the colour of their...

i was just wondering if there was any kind of reference on the colour changing of chameleons? Somthing which actually shows you the different colour changes and various dialects of species - their possible meanings in the various conditions and situations? Wow now that would be fantastic! :p

I was just wondering if anyone had come across a chameleon who did not have the abuility to change colour? My female veiled has never ever gone dark? The only colour change that I have found is that her spots go darker! Apart from that she developed orangy stripes when she was gravid the first...
