I know this is a ridiculous question and I probably already know the answer to this one but I figured I'll ask anyway simply to prove my girlfriend wrong. I recently found a dehydrated common female chameleon, which are native to my country, and I took it home. Apart from the dehydration it...

Hello there, I have recently moved back into my parent's house for the summer and I have brought my chameleons with me. Right now it's summer over here with average temperatures of 30C and a UV index of 8-9. I do have my equipment with me such as basking bulbs and UVB linear tubes but I...

Hey guys I am using a Zoomed Reptisun T5 10.0 UVB. It says on the package to replace after 12months which confused me as I am positive you are supposed to replace every 6 months however I am not sure if this product is specifically developed to last that long. I usually use Arcadia but I...

I like collecting books, especially when it comes to educating yourself on the pet and it's general different species. I was wondering if there are any good books out there that you would recommend about chameleons? I'm looking for something like the "tarantula keep guide", a book that...

I am not sure where this post belongs but this forum sector seemed appropriate. I wanted to share with you guys and also create a little guide for newbies (like me) who want to make a poor man's dripper system for their chameleons. There are many methods, mine is just ONE of the many ways you...

Hey guys my female is on a hunger strike or what I thought to be a hunger strike. I was wrapping my brain on why she decided to be this way and came to the conclusion that it was the food administration. She'll only eat food released into her cage. A real bummer she doesn't take to the jar...

As you guys might or might not know I had brought in two chameleons that were very sick and infected with internal parasites. They were suffering from URI, coccidia and pinworms. I am still struggling with the female. After what I believe is to be 3 weeks I am starting to enjoy my chameleon and...

My 4 month old female veiled chameleon has been blackish/brown for a number of days now. She does bask, drink and move from time to time but she's mostly always brownish with black markings on her and a little bit of green here and there. This morning I noticed she is hanging around the base...

I am looking into establishing a first-aid kit for the chameleons just in-case anything crops up. So far I have Shed Aid, Repti Wound Healing Aid, Aloe vera cream and Betadine. I could add eye-drops but I don't know any good long lasting eye drops for chameleons, so far I haven't had any eye...

So i am looking at buying another UVB reflective holder and I was wondering if I could use the coil UVB bulbs instead of the T5 bulbs. I know that coil UVB is not really preferred and I also read some posts which suggest they are fine and that the whole myth of them blinding reptiles was due...

This baby chameleon was found last summer on the street while doing volunteer work. It was already dead and I suspect it died from dehydration. Since we do not own any dead animal clean up crews and I am a collector of bones, wet specimens and so on I picked this guy up and buried him in...

Hi guys I just wanted to share some pictures of my Native species of chameleon. It can be found in many wooded areas and garigue environments here in Malta. They seem to feed a lot on local cicadas. Whenever you find cicadas there are usually a few chameleons nearby. These pictures where...

So I was looking up on C. parsonii and I came upon this video on youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOjaAST-nyI It seems fairly simple. A small bowl with a low wattage pump. I was thinking that maybe adding an aquarium filter and pointing the spray bar up would help to keep the...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon (F) 1week in my care Handling - Every day. It's a must due to medication administration Feeding - I try to feed mealworms, crickets, locusts and dubia roaches but she does not take any. So I use bug juice. This is the recipe I used for BugJuice...

So I am planning my permanent enclosure for my veiled but I am having loads of trouble trying to find stainless steel/aluminum wire mesh or insect screen. I've tried with a lot of ironmongers, aluminum suppliers, DIY stores..etc and none of them supply that kind anymore. Everyone switched to...

So guys I am back from the Vet check up! As you may or may not know these past couple of days I posted some concerns I had with my two juvi veiled. As as suspected it's a respiratory infection and thanks to you guys, online research and my keen observation skills I managed to catch it at the...

My male chameleon when he's asleep he sleeps in an upright position and every now and again I catch him yawning. During this yawn he shakes a bit and lets out a low frequency squeak, very similar to a squeaky door. I've only had him for five days. Night Temperature; 60.6F / 80% humidity...
