Hi all! Herbie has had some weird shedding for the past 3 months. He’s got this stuck shed on his face that I thought would fall off the second time he shed but it actually stayed. Looking for some advice on how to get it off? He’s also got what looks like maybe the beginning of a wart? Herbie...

hi everyone! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted in this forum! All of you are the best chameleon people so I wanted to run some things by this group of amazing people to see if there is anything going on. Herbie is my panther chameleon that I’ve had for almost 2 years and I feel like a...

Hi everyone! My husband got a super sudden job promotion across the country. I am in Atlanta with my panther chameleon and we would be moving to New York. I am sort of at a weird spot because 1) is it too stressful of a move to take my chameleon with me and 2) is NY even really the right place...

Hey everyone! I fed Herbie a hawk moth and it was obviously a little big but he ate it and liked it! But now I’m afraid that he’s a little constipated. I’ve given him lactulose 10 ml once per day for the past 3 days and still nothing. It’s been almost 2 weeks. I called the vet and they are...

I was feeding my chameleon a hornworm sort of close to his nap time he was getting tucked in but we just got a huge shipment of hornworms so I was excited to get him one. He mistook my thumb for a worm and I’m afraid it may have hurt him? He seems okay and he sort of reeled in and was able to...

Just out of curiosity, when does everyone’s chams wake up and go to sleep? I know some of you have been following Herbie’s health journey and his sleeping schedule has changed a bunch. We did move into a new apartment that gets a ton of sunlight but he seems to be waking up super early and...

we set up our mist king but it just seems like something is wrong here like it’s too strong, anyone know what’s going on? It’s making noise and the mist is fine but it’s like the tubing is going to pop off or something

I had a superworm that turned into a beetle and I found it in his cage! I want Herbie to try to eat him but I'm seeing a bunch of different reviews on the beetles. What do y'all think? Do they bite? Maybe the exoskeleton is a bit too hard? Thanks!

hi everyone! So I’ve had Herbie for 6 months now so he’s about 1 year old and I took him for a vet visit because he hadn’t pooped in a while (they said they knew what they were doing but obviously not). He ended up pooping on the way there but we did a check up and I’m afraid the vet hurt him...

hi everyone! I’m just wondering when you should be concerned about your Cham not pooping. I realized I was feeding my panther Cham a bit too much so I cut back on the feeders but now he hasn’t pooped for about 5 days. Should I be concerned about an impaction? Or when is the right time to...

anyone know if the Clorox disinfectant hydrogen peroxide spray (non-bleach) is alright to use? I bought it and sprayed down my cage with it since I was having bad fungus gnat problems and it just smelled really strong so I took Herbie out and put him in his temporary enclosure and figured I’d...

I’ve been having a fungus gnat problem for a while now so I decided to look up how to get rid of them for Herbie (since he isn’t eating them). I read that hydrogen peroxide is good to use so I bought a spray Clorox hydrogen peroxide (non-bleach). I started spraying around the cage but it...

hi everyone! I’m a new chameleon owner and I’m not sure where to measure with my laser heat gun to make sure his basking spot isn’t too hot. I’ve caught him gaping at his basking spot after I used a new bulb (150 watts), so I think he’s trying to regulate his temperature but I haven’t seen him...

I have a great male panther chameleon who is 9 months old! He’s getting pretty antsy because I’ve read he’s around the breeding age and I’d like for him to try to mate with a lovely female! I’m in Atlanta, Georgia!

hi everyone! I am going to be out of the country for 3 weeks and I wanted to know what you guys recommend when you leave for so long! My chameleon has timers on everything so he’s good there, just curious about the food situation. Would you recommend someone come maybe once a week to refill...

Hey guys! So I was putting a new stick in his enclosure and my chameleon fell from the top of his 2x2x4. He fell a long way down poor thing and now I am scared he hurt himself. He seems to be fine but should there be signs I need to be looking for?

Hi everyone! I just bought a chameleon from a breeder at a reptile expo last week and I am a bit confused on how to feed my chameleon. I have bought dubia roaches, hornworms (for treats), silk worms, and mealworms, but I am a bit confused on how to gut-load and make sure he gets all the...
