Nala has been fine. Getting all your vitamins and minerals, eating normally, fine temperature, humidity, etc etc etc. She was fine this afternoon and then 30minutes ago her tongue started to hang all the way out of her mouth. There is absolutely no sign of irritation, a bite, infection...

Just wondering, I have the flu

She rubbed her face on the screen of her cage a couple months ago. I lined the cage with poultry fencing but moved her for a weekend a couple weeks ago into a cage with no fencing and she rubbed her snout raw on the screen. The scab is healing but she is chasing crickets by getting as close to...

I have a carpet chameleon. They require very high humidity. For your chams what do you guys do about the humidifier? Have it on during the day, night, both? For a couple hours at a time? Extended periods? Half an hour every hour? haha I don't know...I'm going to put it on a timer so I wanted you...

I got this thing July 7th and it just burned out! Is that normal? All I have near my house is a horrible Petco and I'd like to order a replacement online but my chameleon probably can't go that long without a strip light, can she?

Her cage is 3 or 4 feet in the air above hard kitchen tile flooring. I only hooked the bottom latch after I fed her about 30minutes ago and 10 minutes later I realize the door is completely open and she is gone. I looked all over and justttt found her. She went all the way from the kitchen into...

I've never seen her drink. I fill her dripper all throughout the day which drips onto a pothos, I have a habbamist which drips onto her other plants hourly, and I mist her all day making sure that the water collects on the leaves. She is afraid of the dripper, shows no interest in water period...

I bought this carpet as a girl but I just want you guys to confirm it for me. I took her to the vet and the vet just took my word and didn't think about it. I feel that her colors aren't as vibrant as most females at all. So..jw. Thanks in advance, sorry for being a pain. Just let me know if...

I have a small species of chameleon, carpet chameleon - f. lateralis, and would like to mix up the variety of insects I give her. Right now she eats crickets and phoenix worms. Also, she is wild caught. I read your not supposed to give chams food bigger than the space between their eyes...so...

I am using rep-cal with D3, herptivite, and Zoo Med repti calcium without D3. Is the Zoo Med brand calcium as good as the rep-cal??? I've noticed most people on the boards stick with rep-cal. Thanks!!

I don't know the different kinds of moths but I see a lot, could I just catch them and put them in my chams cage or do I need to identify them? How about spiders?

So our first vet appointment is today at 10! I found a certified reptile vet from the listings available on this forum. Hopefully all goes well and thank-you for all your advice. Update later!

We are living in the suburbs where the water is pretty clean and I use clean water for spraying but obviously shower my cham in the regular shower. We are moving a college city where the water comes out gray/mineral-like. Do I have to stop showering her? She does not drink while in the shower...

Is it worth the risk to take a WC chameleon to the vet? She is SO stressed, constantly brown, and from all I've posted on here the general consensus is that she may have parasites. She was recently WC and I've only had her one month. The vet is an hour away and obviously super expensive...

Hey everyone. I am going to buy an air purifier but there are a million of them. Are there any that you would suggest? Thanks!

Hello. I am moving into an effeciency apartment at Penn State and want your opinion of my possibilities for a cage. There is a murphy bed against one wall and it has two twin beds with shelving units between and on the edges. I would like to put a cage in the shelving unit. The room will be low...

Like it says. My chams split her lip and under her right eye is all white (not shedding, definitely, but from like rubbing it on the screen). Her eyes are fine, she is eating fine, and perfectly active. What can I do? There are no other chameleons and animals near her, she is alone all day in my...

In the wild I assume chameleons dig since that is what they naturally want to do in captivity but...how do the eggs hatch? I ask this because...I have research and discussed on here about how to arrange eggs and how to incubate them. But why? In the wild don't the eggs get laid in clutches...

I am going away for a few days and was wondering... Taking care of chams is pretty complicated. Do you tell your chameleon sitters simplified versions? I was thinking like.... -mist her a few times a day for a few minutes with water conditioner in H20(plus she has a crappy habba mist that...

Are the mecury vapor bulbs better? I have a basking light and strip light with a repti-sun 5.0 bulb. I bought a 100 watt mercury vapor bulb yesterday for my other cage I am setting up. What are the ups and downs?
