    Veiled Egg Size

    Hi everyone. My female veiled just layed here second clutch of eggs last night. They seem really small to me but it could just be because I am used to the size the others were right before they hatched. Just curious if someone has a picture with some sort of size comparison of some newly...

    How do you get veiled "in the mood?"

    Hey everyone, I bred my veiled chameleons a year ago and had no problem getting them to breed. If I showed the male the female he would practically claw himself out of the cage to get to her. Now, a year later, I decided to breed them again. I started showing them each other around...

    New baby panther

    Hi everyone. I recently traded a few of my veiled babies for a panther baby. We are pretty sure it is a female but I just wanted to check here first since I have no experience with panthers. I took several pictures of the base of the tail so hopefully it will be obvious to experienced...

    Dubia illegal in TN?

    Hey guys, I have been wondering something for a while. I mentioned something about dubia to a local pet store owner and he informed me roaches were now illegal in TN. I have noticed in the last few years there haven't been any Madagascar hissing cockroaches in any shops. Are roaches illegal...

    Just did something sad. Warning, graphic photo

    Hey guys, today I was trying to candle my almost 9 month old eggs and while looking at one I tried to shift my fingers to get a better view and I dropped the egg. :( It broke and the little guy inside gulped a couple of times and then blinked and then he was dead. He still had a pretty large...

    Pygmy food

    Hi everyone. I have been thinking of some pygmies for a while and was really wondering what I could feed them besides crickets? I have a small dubia colony and more on the way soon. Will dubia nymphs be too big? I just really don't want the mess (or smell) of crickets. :)

    Dubia food bowls

    Hey guys, what are you using to put food and water in for your roaches? I can't find anything that the small ones can climb into that isn't so shallow it won't hold much. Just curious how everyone else is doing it. Thanks, Michael

    When to start feeding off Dubia

    Hey guys, I have had some dubias for almost a month and they are having lots of babies. My chams are still small so they eat smaller nymphs. When should I start feeding them to the chams? I have been feeding some but still mostly crickets. I have read it takes several months but I assume...

    When to take them outside

    Hey guys. I have a couple of juvinile veileds and was wondering exactly how hot it has to be before you should take them outside. Today it is in the low 70s with a little wind. Is there a general guideline? I want to take them outside as much as possible. Thanks, Michael

    Hanging food cup

    Hey guys, I am cup feeding my chams and am wanting to attach the cup to the screen. I have seen the video where a guy uses zip ties to secure it but the screen holes are too small for the ties. I really would like to have it removable for cleaning as well. Any ideas on how I could do it...

    My little veiled

    Hey guys. I finally got around to taking some pictures of my little male veiled and his cage. Any comments on the setup? I am planning on getting a female soon to go in the other cage too. I know the cages are a little big but I got them for the two jacksons that died. He is eating well...

    Disinfecting plants

    Hi guys, I lost a cham due to parasites and am wanting to disinfect the cage and contents so if I put another one in there they won't get them. The cage should be pretty easy but what about the plants? I have a sheffalera and a dracaena in it. Can they be cleaned without getting rid of them...

    Lost my female too. Tremetodes?

    Yesterday I noticed my Female Dwarf Jackson's chameleon wasn't looking too good. I managed to get home early today and was going to call the vet but it was too late. She was hanging from a branch with blood coming out of her mouth. I decided to cut her open to see what I found and as soon as...

    A couple of questions.

    Hey guys. I used to keep mostly veileds years ago and I have realized after purchasing my Dwarf Jackson's that some ideas have changed over the years. I have a couple of old books but was wondering what was a good, up to date book on Chameleon care? Also I have ordered a misting nozzle from...

    My new Jacksons.

    Hello everybody. I kept chameleons several years ago but got out of it for a while. I had mostly veileds before. Last week I purchased a male Jackson's at a local store and went back today to get the female they had too. They said they came in as Tanzanian Jackson's. They are both pretty...

    Jackson's enclosure

    Hey guys, I am new here and I used to have several chameleons about 10 years ago. I had at least 12 at one time and basically got burned out. I swore I would never get another one due to all the crickets mostly. :D Yesterday I couldn't hold out anymore and bought a nice young Jackson's...
