Recently I've started to notice lumps along Archie's spine, so I thought it might be a sign of MBD. I've never had a chameleon with MBD before, but by the looks of it he's not exhibiting any of the other symptoms of MBD. He's eating a lot, moving around a lot and doing it with ease, but those...

As some of you may know, my chameleon Archie has been having a problem where he has completely lost his appetite, however after almost a couple of weeks now, I'm happy to say he's finally eating again! But with this awesome news I also have a concern. As I was offering him his crickets, I didn't...

Okay so I made a post about this earlier about how I have to syringe feed Archie for a while, and I said how yesterday I hate it but I'll do it, now I feel like I'm doing it wrong. I feel like Archie is getting WAY too stressed when I try to syringe feed him, he scurries away from the syringe...

So, as some of you may know, I had to go to vet for problems relating to Archie's eating. Anyways, they prescribed medication for Archie's eating, which I have to force feed him. I understand he has to be fed like this, but I really hate it. I'm hear to ask, does feeding him like this have any...

My chameleon (Archie) is a veiled, at least 7 months old. I handle my chameleon once a week I feed Archie 5 crickets a day, or try to at least, and I’ve fed him 4 house flies now, that’s the only food that sticks out (I also feed him crickets w/ calcium supplement more often than that). Recently...

I noticed how Archie had a bulge in his cheeks, which made me concerned. I'll post some pictures to show you what I mean, and you guys can tell me what it looks like. My chameleon (Archie) is a veiled, at least 7 months old. I handle my chameleon once a week (so far) I feed Archie at least once...

I was putting Archie, my chameleon, back in his cage, and while he was crawling back, my huge glass door fell from his cage. Sure enough, it slammed on the ground and made a huge noise. Fortunately, the door is fine, other than being unhinged, but I fear however, that Archie is not. After the...

Hey guys, I was approaching Archie today, and I'd noticed he was scratching his eye against a stick in his cage, then I saw him invert his eye (like chameleons often do) and there was a like a big bulge. When he's not inverting his eyes he looks completely normal in my opinion, any thoughts...

So I’m a 17 year old senior about to go off to college, and my most of the colleges I got accepted to (ie the ones I’m going to) don’t let you have pets for at least your first year. My question is, what should I do with my chameleon Archie? I really want to keep him but my parents aren’t...

I'm really worried, Archie just ate some sphagnum moss and I don't know what it will do to him

I was feeding Archie when he put his tail in the spot where the door hinges are located, and then I closed the door on his tail. I found out when he moved really fast away from the door, then I noticed the situation. Afterwards his tail looked all smushed, and it looked black and blue as well...

Okay, so I have crickets die in my cricket keeper all the time (and I'm sure everyone else does too), but when they die, instead of throwing them away I sometimes put them in a container of dead bugs. Today I recently, for the first time, fed Archie two dead crickets, without thinking of things...

Archie is truly a test of patience. I love him and all but he sure is a test of patience. I get him out about once every 2 days, I try to aim for at least an hour of him getting out of his enclosure but it always extends to like 3. Whenever I open the cage he rushes to my hand, and whenever I...

Okay I know this is kind of silly but I'm really at a loss here. I got Archie out this afternoon and he was crawling around for about thirty minutes, then he got on my little stereo for the next three hours, and just stayed in that spot. He won't come off now and I'm about to go to bed. I tried...

I wanted to get an opinion to see if one would think these count as sunken eyes I give him water all the time but NEVER see him drink.

I had an interesting question to ask. So I have a terrarium with a separate caged aquarium at the bottom. My idea was to get a red claw crab and create a little hole where he could come to the surface, but my only problem is that I don't know how he'll react to Archie (my chameleon). I thought...

My chameleon, Archie, is a very adventorous guy. I feel really bad when he tries to climb the glass but fails when he slips off. After many attempts he goes and sits in his basking spot. Do you guys really think it’s that big of deal or am I worrying too much? I get him out everyday for long...

I was feeding Archie this morning and he did something interesting that I'm not sure is normal for chameleons. When I put the cricket in the cup there was a ton of calcium supplement on the bottom, so naturally he ate the cricket, but the interesting thing is that afterwards he started acquiring...

I’m new to this forum, so I’m not sure I’m writing this in the right place. Anyways, I keep finding myself looking over at Archie (my chameleon) to see if he’s drinking from his dripper. I never see him drinking, so I’m always worried he’s not getting water. Am I worrying to much?

Hello, I'm new to chameleons, and I noticed something odd about my chameleon. He has these weird white spots along his spine and in the crease of his elbow pit that I was worried about. Can anyone tell me what they are?
