http://www.vetlocator.com/newsarticles/chameleons.php This is great in terms of diagnostics and veterinary care for chameleons. I thought I should share it with everyone.

Sexual Size Dimorphism is a common Reptilia trait. As of current, I am studying SSD in lizards indigenous to the Dominican Republic for my Honors Biology Research class at Avila University. I've noticed male and female chameleons vary in size as well, where females appear to be the smaller set...

I'm having issues finding these two plants. I've gone to every garden place: walmart, ace hardware (they have a greenery), plant nursery, and all of them say they're seasonal. When I ask -when- they will be arriving, they tell me they don't know. When is a good time to go shopping for ficus or...

i searched the forums for this, found nothing. I also googled it and still found nothing. Today when I misted Fred, I realized it appears that his skin is peeling, and it doesn't look like shed. Ironically enough, he is shedding at this time, but the skin isn't white--its colorful, like -not-...

After being here less than a month, I've read enough prolapse stories to knock my socks off. How common is prolapses in chameleons? Why does this occur? Is it a genetic predisposition/bad genes? Perhaps bowel tract complications? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Also, which locale...

Fred had an orange poop today. The urates were white, but the poop itself was brownish-orange. The poop looks fine except for its color. No runniness, everything appears properly digested. It's just...orange. Should I be concerned?? He did eat a bunch of mandarin oranges yesterday. Could...

So I know Fred is shedding, but I'm a little concerned because he hasn't eaten well since Saturday. He usually eats about 6-7 large crickets daily, but has only eaten 3 on friday, 1 on saturday, none on sunday and then so far one today. Am I just being paranoid?? Also, does anyone else have...

These things look exactly the same. Why is one bad and the other isn't to feed your cham? Fred LOVES superworms btw. He ate my entire 12 ct. today. I'm happy.

Can someone please tell me what superworms look like? I went to some other petstore to look for supplies today with my friend, as they were having a going out of business sale. Well they had feeders in glass tanks, and the one labeled GIANT MEALWORM looked exactly like the superworms petco...

What can you feed superworms? Fred's taking his sweet time on finishing his crickets and I want to ensure my supers will stay alive. Is there anything I can give them to eat?

One of my rabbits, Apollo, seems to love chewing chords. I just found my printer cable chewed to shreds. Now, granted, I know that HE knows he isn't supposed to chew, because whenever I catch him chewing he'll run straight for his cage to hide. Also, when I'm watching him, he'll behave. It's...

Fred, my 6 month old veiled male will only eat things that are alive and moving. Well, its advised to cut the heads off of supers or they might eat through chams stomachs. But if I do that, it'll die, and therefore won't move. So how am I to feed him supers then? He doesn't hand feed, and...

I've been posting in the health clinic mainly, but I didn't realize there was a place to introduce yourself until this morning! My name is Tara and I'm a fairly new herp enthusiast. I'm a pre-med student living in Kansas City and about a year away from medical school. This past year for my...

I can't tell how old Fred is. Since the vet said he looked healthy and not underweight or gaunt, I want to know how old a 55 g healthy male veiled would be? Here's some pictures:

Well Fred got worse, so I took him to a different herp vet this morning, one closer to my university in Missouri. Fred was active, wandering around on me, but his eyes were still closed. The vet said he seemed healthy in weight (55 grams), no signs of calcium deficiency, the inside of his mouth...

I bought a male veiled chameleon from a local pet store. I've had experience with other lizards, like bearded dragons and the like, and I decided to give a chameleon a try. I did it on a whim, and the pet store employee pretty much sold him to me without even saying anything. That's fine. I...
