Thank you all for going along with me on this adventure! It has been fun going over the milestones along the way! I am glad it has been an appreciated resource.
This week I actually did a separate podcast and a video for this topic because...well, I guess I never needed a justification for...
Every keeper—no matter where they start, no matter which species—goes through the same three stages of growth. Your questions may change. Your relationship with the hobby transforms. What matters to you evolves. But we go through three stages that, at the beginning of the Chameleon Academy, I...

I thought I would show off Sarge. Since I started seeing the name @Seeco popping up again I wanted to post this guy. Unfortunately, Sarge left this mortal coil in 2021. Sarge was a CH Kingyonia multituberculata from the famous Seeco lines that I got in 2011. So, Sarge made it ten years with me...
Feeding chameleons isn't as straightforward as dropping bugs in a cage. These creatures, especially veileds, will literally eat themselves into health problems if we let them. Healthy feeding frequency and amount varies significantly based on life stage.

The challenge with getting new information to vets is that they do not know who to listen to in the hobbyist community. Here, we all have a sense for what is out there. We know who is reputable and who is, well, less so. But, unless a vet has inserted themselves into the community, because of...
I am very happy to introduce a new mini-series on the Chameleon Academy Podcast. The Mini-Chameleon Podcast is a mini-series that is hosted by Dr. Michael Nash (@javadi) and will focus on the smaller members of the Chameleon world including the smallest Calummas, Furcifers, Brookesia, and, of...
I think the main damage social media has done is change habits. It put a wide variety of interactions in one place so it became so much easier to interact with your family, discuss politics, and have all of your hobbies in one place. So it was much easier to pull up Facebook for everything...
Dr. Michael Nash is going to be doing a limited series on the Mini-Chameleons (lateralis, campania, mini-calummas, Brookesia, and babies). The episodes will be hosted on the Chameleon Academy Podcast and youtube channel starting Monday August 16. They 'll be a new episode released every Monday...
There is almost no way for there to be a mix-up between these subspecies in exportation. Not because they don't look similar - they can! But, because Mt. Meru Jackson's come from a high mountain top in Tanzania that is a great effort to go to and Tanzania has been closed to exports for nine...
It is important that we identify which CFL you are talking about. Most of the time, in the chameleon community, when we say "coil" we are referring to the ZooMed 13W 5.0 that comes with the chameleon kit. We don't like this one because it is effective only a few inches in front of the bulb. We...
Coil UVB bulbs (CFLs) are shunned because the most common ones are too weak to get the desired UVB levels far enough into the cage to be useful for an adult chameleon. Ironically, some of the more powerful CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights) are actually not healthy because they are way too...
Many people do. Throughout the book I encourage purchasing a well started juvenile from a reputable breeder for anyone who may be reading the book trying to make a decision, but so many people start their journey into the chameleon community because they already purchased an egg. And this book...
Which is kind of funny because if I had started with the intention of writing a book it would have been overwhelming and I probably wouldn't have done it! Putting together a book is A LOT of work! So, being led step by step really worked to my favor on this. Besides, this audience is a very...
This one kind of snuck up on me. It was supposed to be a 14 page e-booklet to help people who purchased an egg...and then it got bigger because I needed to include incubation and feeding and such...and then the people who saw it said it needed to be in print (oh, twist my arm). Well, if it is...
