I agree-it's not easy at all. The only reason I'd do it myself is that I'm certified in a stack of backcountry and wilderness medical procedures. If I didn't have the experience already doing such things in children I wouldn't touch the little guy. I also wouldn't if a vet had already checked...

You splint in order to supply support and to ease pain. A splint doesn't much straighten out the bone unless you pull and set it, which might not be something that either you or your sisters friends dad can do, unless he knows how to properly set bones in such little guys. (I've had training on...

How's Stuey today? Just hoping he's doing a bit better, or at least is looking stable. Did you get him to eat anything?

I can't help you much with the supplier, but when I was trying to raise a batch of hatchlings and didn't have access to a pet shop I went to a friend who grew roses. She had a severe aphid problem and let me take some of the aphid covered buds. It was enough little food to keep my clutch of 12...

My best chameleon, a side striped, was named Nova. I think I was missing PBS at the time.

Best luck I've had with getting 'em friendlier was to read around them. You're quiet and you don't move much. It can give your guy some time to get used to you. Have you got a chair near him where you can read, watch television or do something on the computer?

Photos up Put three photos up on the gallery of the C. bitaeniatus that's the common one everyone finds. Just so that you know.

A bit more about these guys. They might not be too flashy but they're surprisingly calm with people. This little guy crawled right onto my finger with no proding. Didn't flash any fear colors or even lift his forearm despite never having been handled before. He did keep one eye on me the...

C. bitaeniatus found commonly on people's farms. This chameleon and a few others were found crawling on a cassava bush growing in someoen's yard.

Wild Ugandan chameleon found in the village of Buzimba on a cassava bush in someone's yard. There were a good six or seven on this bush.

This is Nova. She lived on my windowsill on Nadanggira hill for almost a year. at Her turn offs include people who move too fast, being sprayed with water and chickens.

Will do. Bit tricky since digital cameras weren't too common in Africa while I was there. Only had one the last three months. I'll look through my stuff and see what I've got. I did have one of them give birth on my windowsill-got lots of photos of that but they're all pretty poorly exposed.

Chameleons appropriate to Thailand I kept chameleons for three years in Uganda in a very reduced setup that they handled very well-no heating, no special lights, no misting, they mostly did their own hunting, no vets, none of which were an option in the area (human medicine was a bit iffy so...

Howdy. So here's the skinny, in case anyone's interested. I returned to the United States a year ago after living in Uganda for three years. Had masses of chameleons, mostly Chameleon bitaeneus or Chameleon ellioti, nobody was sure which, all over the house. I really miss having the little...
