Hi, Unfortunately, my chameleon died 3 years ago and I finally decided to part with his habitat. My dad and I built it ourselves. It's pretty heavy, so shipping might be an issue if your not in the east coast. Kijiji ad...

Hi, I haven't logged on for a very long time, but now I need some help. My 4 year old veiled chameleon is very weak since last Sunday. I found him on the bottom of his cage and when I tried to put him back on a branch he would just fall off. He seemed still very alert so I brought him to the vet...

Hi there, I was wondering who here has the oldest chameleon of any species? Mine is just a year and a half. When I read bout life expectancies it seems to vary alot. Also what can a cham keeper expect from an aging chameleon (less active? more hand feeding? etc). thanks

Hi Everybody! I was getting pretty tired of Lenny's small flexarium, so me and my dad started to build a new cage, one that will last for a long time and be used for future chams to come. My dad 2nd job is carpentry so we went all the way to make something really beautyful at the same time...

Hi, I just gathered a bunch of driftwood for the new cage me and my dad started today (started to build the drain). Now I know that I'm supposed to ''cook'' the driftwood covered with aluminum foil to kill what might be alive in it. But what can I do with the ones to big for our oven? For...

Hi there! I've been gone for the weekend and when I came back last night I saw the remaining of my hornworms turned into cocoons. I thought they needed peetmoss or something, but they cocooned in my tupperware. I've read that they are pretty are to breed as a colony so I wasn't planning to do...

Here's my first batch of food ordered by internet. Only 33 of 50 baby silkworms made it. All 14 small hornworms made it. I put'em in 2 seperate desinfected and pierced tupperware containers. Did the plastic canvas trick for the silkworm frass. Lenny ate his first hornworm today...it didn't even...

Anybody order food from canadianfeeders.ca? I just ordered from their East Coast branch and will be getting it next week but don't know what to expect...haha...probably should've asked before. :p... any personal opinions about these guys?

Hey everybody! In 2 weeks I'm moving my veiled cham (1yr old) Lenny from Quebec city to Bathurst, New Brunswick. This is a 6 hour drive. Any tips or things I have to look out for so this trip goes as smoothly as possible? Thanks!

Hi everybody! So when I bought my veiled cham Lenny last summer I bought this little booklet about cham care with him, and last Christmas my in-laws bought me a 200 ish page book on chams. I get most (like 90%) of my cham information on this forum site (I visit chameleonforums at least 1-3...

Hi all, 3 weeks ago I figured that my veiled cham (Lenny) wasn't getting enough water and humidity during the day. Because I was going away on working experience for a while and that my (very busy) girlfriend was going to take care of him, I was going to have to make something automatic...

Hi, Yesterday I bought a new UV lamp for my 8 month old veiled cham since the old one was 6 months old. When I got home I noticed that it wasn't the same model. The last model was 3% UVB and the other 7 %, the new one is 5% UVB and 30% UVA. This seems to me to be quite a difference. Can I...

Hi again, I've been refraining from misting Lenny before his lights come on in the morning (since we get up before him) because I assume that he might get cold or something, and that misting should only happen when there's a heat source. Am I wrong? It would be practical if I could mist...

I was wondering there is a reason why chameleons feel compelled to come out of there cages to explore. Is it to see if there are other chameleons in his territory? Is it just for the heck of exploring? Is it to hunt? Do you guys let your chams out to climb around (with supervision). Was just...

Hi again, This is probably an easy question...only to be asked be a newbie. But what can I do to prevent my cham from accidentally ingesting the dirt from a plant's pot?

Hi everybody! I finally noticed that my cham's cage isn't full enough:( ! I'm planning to pick up a plant this weekend and wanted to know if you guys could name me a bunch of plants that are easy to maintain and that my veiled cham can enjoy (besides those mentioned on the plant species list...

Hi everybody! I was wondering if there's a trick to get your cham to eat from your hand? Is it just something you can just start when it's young? Can you get any species to do it? Do most of you do it at all? thanks!

Hi y'all! Here's my first question! I'm a first time owner of a male veiled cham (Lenny!) since July. He is now about 6 months old. I came to expect that his appetite would slow down but I don't know the standard...how much (too much or too little) does he have too eat before I should...
