Oh, the joys of keeping chameleons. :eek: ;)
So, Priscilla would rather be lit on fire than handled. When I bought her the very tip of her tail looked like it had been pinched/bitten off at some point. Her last shed uncovered a tiny amount of dead tissue at the end of her tail, so I'm taking...
Now that some of my plants are dying from overwatering, creating some rather hideous aesthetics and some grossness in the cages, I'm going to give the cages a total redesign since I have to completely tear them down anyway. I got some wooden dowels and those little parrot ladders (I think...
I know theres some debate about the use of Compact Fluorescent Lights because some models of UV CFL's have been shown to cause problems.
I'm simply looking for a light that won't emit heat that can brighten the cage. I wish I had gotten double fluorescent fixtures but I didn't and I don't...
I'm trying to just chill and wait it out but they're making me antsy. I assumed they were infertile, I had my female for 33 or 34 days before she laid and she never was in contact with a male in my care. But, I kept the eggs for the chance that she had contact with a male before I purchased her...
I've had Priscilla for just over a month and for most of that time she appeared like she COULD have eggs. I put a laying bin in, which was a large-ish round planter with moist sand. She knows it's there.
Today I got out of bed (just now) and saw her tail deep in a hole she dug in a potted...
First, let me say I got my idea for the drainage system (particularly, sitting it on pvc pipes like I did) from this forum but cannot find the original thread. If anyone knows which thread it was let me know and I'll provide the link :)
Anyway, Priscilla has been at my home for a week and...
After surfing the forums for several weeks researching chameleons, I am finally the proud owner of a new little friend!
Today I went to the Hamburg/Northwest Berks Reptile Show and originally had planned to purchase an Ambilobe male if he was available, however, I found no available panther...
I'm about to purchase my first cham and I'm setting up his enclosure.
I just repotted one of my plants (umbrella tree) in a mix of organic soil and sand and I'm in the process of repotting the other two (mass cane* and pothos). The umbrella tree was very root bound and in the type of soil...
Hello! I joined here because I will soon be getting my first chameleon. I am going to a reptile show with a friend of mine next weekend who has turned me onto the idea of owning a reptile as a pet, and I'm hoping to get a panther cham. Since I can't be sure, if I don't see one there I will...
