Well, I can't figure out how to change the thread title but he actually passed on May 24, 2017. I loved this little guy so much. RIP Phineas. June 2011 August 2011 September 2011 March 2012 July 2012 October 2012 March 2016 March 2017

Phineas turned six today! I've had to restrict a lot of his movement because he is not able to grip as well and falls sometimes. I took down all his vines across the living room, dining room, hallway, television, and bathroom. He wasn't too happy in the beginning, but he has adjusted to just...

I have an abundance of Indian Stick Insects! If anyone would like to pick some up, for free, in Burlington County, NJ, just bring a container with you! PM me for details. Deb

Phineas turns five today! He is beginning to show some signs of age. He has fallen a couple times recently and he also gets disoriented in the house sometimes. He was my first chameleon and he is very laid back and calm - except when he's confined or he sees another chameleon! His main free...

It's been quite some time since I've posted photos, so with all the new changes on the site, I thought it would be a good time - especially since it now SO easy to post photos! Thanks Brad! This is Phineas on his main free range, but he wanders around the whole downstairs. He's four years nine...

I have an established green banana roach colony that I do not need anymore. The colony is in a large sterlite container and has hundreds upon hundreds of adults and all stages of nymphs. Colony must be picked up due to size and weight. Located in Delran, New Jersey (near Philadelphia)...

I found a new vet that not only has experience with chameleons, but also has had some experience with Melleri. I had their 3 fecals tested and Medjumbe came back positive for pinworms. Because they free range together, Mocuba and Medjumbe are both being treated with Panacur. He prescribed a...

Well, Mocuba finally accepted Medjumbe's advances. It didn't work out too well... First, Medjumbe tried to mate with Mocuba's head. He got himself turned around. . . And then. . . Turned a really strange color. . . And closed his eyes/fell asleep???? For several...

I picked up Katavi at a reptile show on March 15. He(?) was much smaller than my other two when I got them and very dehydrated and thin. After about three weeks he started eating a lot. I am hoping that he continues to do well. He is in quarantine now, but hopefully he will be able to join...

Tomorrow will be one year since I got my first two Melleri. They are doing well. I believe, based on their behavior that I have a male (Medjumbe) and a female (Mocuba). I have seen Medjumbe approach Mocuba tentatively, head bobbing and lobes flapping. When he gets within 10" Mocuba turns black...

Just wanted to give a belated Hatchday wish to Phineas. He turned three at the end of March. He went to the vet after falling 7 feet onto the hardwood floors on Christmas Day. He was acting normal but I just wanted to be certain he was okay. This is his x-ray. Thanks...

Yes, yet ANOTHER chameleon with an eye issue! I took Phineas in today because he was holding his left eye shut on and off and looking at his food from an odd angle. I did extra mistings but it wasn't helping. I took him in today and the vet gave me Triple-B Opthalmic Ointment to apply in his...

I'm so happy my Melleri Room is finally occupied and both chams seem to be very active, eating, and enjoying the rain! Mecuba has been occupying the room for 3 weeks now. Medjumbe joined him/her yesterday. Mecuba Exploring Melleri Room Mecuba Enjoying The Rain Mecuba Needing To...

I was attending my usual reptile show, as I do every other month, to get hornworms for Phineas. And it's always fun to look around. Imagine my surprise when I saw a Mellers! Never have I seen a Mellers at this show! Imagine my shock when the guy pulls out a Sterlite container full of Mellers all...

I had planned on completing this room last July. Permit problems and my wanting things just the way I want them delayed the project. But I'm happy with the results. It was difficult to get photos of the whole room at once because it is so small (9x10), but I hope you like it! I still want to get...

Picked up my quilt wall-hanging today. I gave the artists a picture of my cham's tail to work with. It's 4' x 3'. I love the fabrics they chose and really like the way it turned out! Deb

Phineas has finally decided to stop living in the bathroom window. Hooray! For the past month, he has been on his FR 24/7. Well, except to go to the bathroom. Can't have everything. Deb

I tried to get the first part of Phineas' daily walk on video. First off, I started late, but I figured it would be good practice. Next thing I know, he is stopping in the middle of the floor. While videoing, I'm thinking he decided to bask, which he does sometimes on the floor, but never in...

After successfully raising green banana roaches for over six months as PETS because SOMEONE has refused to eat them - Phineas finally decided to devour 10 of them today. Finally, I've got feeders instead of pets! SCOREBOARD Phineas: 573 Me: 2
