    Is my chameleon dead?

    Before anyone berates me, yes, I am a terrible owner and I am working to find someone who can care for Axel as I type this. He is currently being hydrated by a humidifier and I'm spraying him with water. I am keeping him near the heating lamp (not too near, just close enough to be warm). He is...

    Tiny balls growing on Veiled Chameleon's skin

    Hello all. Just now as I was feeding my chameleon Axel, I noticed small balls of skin on him. I've attached images. I was handling him when I noticed. Is it an infection?

    My Axel is drinking water but not eating mealworms

    I got Axel, 10-11 months old male veiled chameleon, a few days ago. He's drinking water just fine (I spray it on the ficus leaves around him and he licks them), but he won't eat any mealworms. I placed 5 mealworms on a white plastic dish and left it near Axel and went to work, thinking that he...

    Vets in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (or any city in Saudi Arabia)

    Hello everyone. Hope you're having a great day/night. I used to own a female veiled chameleon 3 years ago. Unfortunately, she fell ill. I spent days looking for a vet, any vet, who can help me. After driving to every single known vet in my city, Jeddah, I couldn't get any help, and my Alphys...

    Should I get a chameleon?

    Hello. It's been quite a while since I last posted. Last time I posted it was in memoriam when my veiled chameleon, Alphys, passed away. Now I'm back 1 year later, and considering getting a chameleon again. A huge part of me thinks it's a bad decision. There aren't any reptile vets where I...

    Rest in peace, Alphys.

    About two months ago, I scrolled past this part of the forum hoping I won't have to post here any time soon. Well, here I am now. My female veiled chameleon, Alphys, just passed away. She was fine until a week ago. Her health declined day by day despite my best efforts, which are not much to be...

    Is Alphys egg bound?

    Alphys hasn't been active lately. She used to climb up and down her tree, and she would sometimes climb the curtains. Around a month or two ago she ventured outside her area which was a first (forgot to mention she is not kept in an enclosure, she has her own tree next to a sunny spot next to...

    Veiled Chameleon Egg Laying Substrate

    I've read about the stuff chameleon owners use to put in the laying bin. Playsand makes sensense because it's safe for kids. I don't know what kind though. I found this kind (in the image below) It's the moldable playsand. Is it OK to use? Also, is it OK to use the same sand for the next...

    Using Nestle's Fitness cereal as mealworm substrate

    Is it OK to use Nestle's Fitness cereal as mealworm substrate? I crushed it and put it in the worm's box. This is the kind I used: I think it has a bit of sugar in it cuz it tastes sweet. Is that OK?

    Just got my first batch of mealworms

    Hello! I just bought 200 mealworms. They're smaller than I thought. I should mention that I have never EVER bred any type of bug before. Anyway, I did do my research. What I will do is smash some cornflakes, put that into a glass tank I have, and put the mealworms there. My questions are...

    What fruits and veggies are safe for female veiled?

    There has been a huge shortage of bugs, and I'm scared that Alphys will starve..I held off feeding her things other than bugs because I wasn't sure what was safe for her to eat. I currently have bananas, oranges, tangerines, carrots, cucumber, and apples. Are these safe? Also, how do I feed her...

    Alphys Sleeping (also asking about mood colors)

    So Alphys is my first female veiled chameleon. She's been with me for 27 days (almost 4 weeks). I bought her a large Ficus tree, a tall hibiscus plant, and a ficus bonsai. I usually let her sleep in the ficus tree. Here's a picture of her sleeping. I read that if a veiled chameleon's colors...

    Freeze Dried bugs

    So I bought 3 bags of freeze dried grasshoppers on the day I bought my chameleon, Alphys. The pet store guy said they were "essential". Thanks to the many advice and suggestions I was given on this forum, I realized that guy was wrong. However, in a pinch, will freeze dried bugs be safe for...

    Alphys and her enclosure

    Almost two weeks ago, I posted this thread introducing Alphys, my female Veiled. Many asked for photos of her enclosure, so here you go! I know it lacks many things (proper UVB lighting, a screen roof, and other things), but I'm still working on it so hopefully I'll finish it soon. Any...

    Can veiled chameleons eat this?

    I found this bug in the back yard. It seems injured because one of its legs are broken..? I assume my cat hit it or something. Can my chameleon Alphys eat this? Is it gutload-able?

    Is it possible to get salmonella infection from pet chameleons?

    As the title says, can humans get salmonella infection from chameleons? I always wash my hands with soap thoroughly for 10 seconds after handling my chameleon Alphys. I wear gloves when cleaning her enclosure. I also have a big bottle of disinfectant I use after every handling or cleaning. I...

    Does this poop look healthy?

    My Alphys just pooped for the first time since I got her. I compared it to the Poop 101 post here in the forums. I think her feces looks fine. It's moist. As for the urates, that's where I'm worried. It's yellowish orange with a white bit stuck to it. I'll post the picture below. There's a...

    Food source in Saudi Arabia (Western Province)

    I recently posted that I got a pet chameleon (Here is my first thread about it). Before posting this thread, I asked all the pet stores I can find about whether they provide live insects. I only found one place which gets, quoting the guy who told me, "white worms" to feed fish. He has no idea...
