No his tail isnt stuck in one position, It as a lump at the base though it seems to move ok, I will try to get a photo of it though its hard to see as hes so small at the minit. As for his back legs they work in the sense that they move and he some times can take a couple of steps before he...
Well i now have lots of baby veiled chameleon running around all healthy apart from one which seems to have been born with a deformed tail. The problem with this is he as problems walking/standing and his back legs are sometimes at a 90 degree angle to the rest of his body:( And he seems to grab...
1ST are they fertile????
It seems to be common for pregnant chameleons to go off their food for a while, as their urge to dig increases greatly. Making sure your chameleon has a good place for digging, Might be the key to getting her to relax and eat.
You want your container to be at least 14...

I myself will be waiting until my female is a...
Hi, I recently have had my eggs hatch, Though i also had a problem with white mold about 1mth before hatching. I simply took a warm damp cloth and wiped it off the eggs 1by1 being careful to replace them the way i found them and doing it with the lights dimmed. They have all nearly hatched now...

Panther chameleon eggs take a long time to incubate, so be patient. There are two ways to incubate the eggs, one is to leave them at a constant temperature from 72-78 F. Incubation times very greatly and you should expect hatchlings as early as 6 months but they could incubate as long as 12-14...
i used 50%sand 50%peat in a 5 gallon tub and put it in a spare room where it was quiet for my veiled to lay her eggs in and it worked great!

Go to you local aquatic dealer and get a large polystyrene box they get there fish in, normaly free as they only throw them away. Then get a heat mat to stick to the rear of box(some put it on the bottom) with a HygroTherm - Humidity & Temp Controller to keep them at...
