I buy superworms in bulk because I have other retiles besides the chameleons. I change the vegetables and stuff every 3 days and the oats get changed once a month. I have had a little mold and removed it. I've been keeping superworms for about 5 months now and my lizards have been fine.

Chameleons often sleep upside down, it's nothing to be concerned about unless he/she is sleeping during the day.

I agree to a certain extent. I know one big chain pet store is trying to cash in on this movie by offering $10-20 (something like that) off ANY reptile in their inventory. When people see things like that, they don't generally think right. They do the impulse buy, which often leads to a lot...

That's awesome!! Hope she does well. We just got a clutch of 36 on Sunday.

It looks cute. This is going to be a bad thing for the reptile world. All those little kids demanding chameleons as pets...........sigh.

I'm sorry OP about the comments that came across as rude. Don't get discouraged. I feel if you read more than you reply/comment here, the better off you will be. Even the most "experienced" chameleon person here can be wrong and I have read where they are. My suggestion, read several forums...

Everything I have read about IF mold grows, to wipe it from the egg. A damp q-tip is the "softest" way of doing this. I've never experienced mold until the last week with a gecko egg. It's sitting in the lowest part of the incubator and that's where more humidity is. I agree, if mold is...

I have several beardies. New ones right now, they are so cute. I am also looking for a decent bearded dragon forum that's active.

Occasionally, the humidity in the incubator that causes the condensation can make mold occur. If it does mold, VERY gently wipe the mold, trying not to disturb the eggs too much. Our little gargoyle gecko egg did this, I took a damp q-tip and wiped it as gently as I could. Good luck and...

Thanks for the input. :)

The massage was at the recommendation of an exotic vet tech friend I have, she consulted with the vet (The 2 vets I have available were impossible to get a hold of) and we were told exactly how to do it to stimulate contractions. Within a couple hours, she laid. She was mated about 5 weeks...

I use Reptiworms for the baby beardies as well as crickets (1500 of them left). The reptiworms don't smell at all and they love them, our chameleon like them too. The crickets we have, the food is rotated out every other day and that's kept the smell to almost nothing. I don't like dealing...

My husband started a hole for her, she got massaged, dug around IN the hole he started, laid 13 eggs, covered them up and that's it.

Thanks for replying. It's 12 inches of washed play sand. She's dug one hole, stayed at the top, covered the few she laid and off and on for the last 24 hours, she has ended up sleeping on different parts of the sand not really doing anything more. This is her first clutch and I do know they...

The house has been about 70-75, we are having some beautiful weather during the day. Jannb, could you possibly look at my other post and give me your input? It would be greatly appreciated. I'm stressed beyond belief. This is our first time with chameleons and laying. I am experience with...

I read your blog already. I am worried because if they get too cold, they aren't going to lay.

Since my other post wasn't very productive, I would like to know, what should the temperature/humidity be for females to lay in? I've been looking around this site and blogs from members here to see if I could find something. Thanks.

Thanks. I have no problem taking her, I just thought because they shouldn't be disturbed while laying, it would be bad to take her right now.

What about heat and humidity though? I have 2 laying bins and the sand doesn't seem to stay warm. In my experience with my bearded dragons when they lay, it HAS to be a certain temperature or they aren't going to move.

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or the health clinic. Basically, she's laid 13 eggs and visibly has more. She laid them yesterday and stopped. I put her in washed play sand in a smaller terrarium so we could better control the temp and humidity. She was showing signs of dehydration...
