okay thank you - I do offer her food normally every day, and she used to chow through it! I had been refusing to give her stick insects for over 5 days I had to give in - it worries me when she doesn't eat! Also the vet said she's a bit on the skinny side, so I really want to fatten her up...

I have a female veiled chameleon (approx 12-24months) who has recently become quite a fussy eater - she's refusing crickets, locusts and mealworms (all of which she has happily eaten in the past) and will only eat smooth green stick insects. I would ideally like to get her feeding on a wider...

Thank you very much. I am on a very big learning curve at the moment!! I just want her to be healthy and happy, I am very attached to her now, especially since she has started clambering towards me when I approach and climbing onto my hand!

Yes she does - it is the same container she laid in previously and it is filled with play sand which i keep moist. She has not showed any signs of digging yet though, she just hangs out in it!

I have just done some research on gout - I am not sure if it is likely. Her diet is not high in protein, I can touch her legs and joints without her showing any discomfort or aggression and she can move around very well and does not show any problems with this. However I am concerned about her...

Hi The vet did mention gout, but didn't think it was a very strong possibility. Unfortunately I am limited by school funding, I wanted to have bloodwork done but it was a further 80 quid (after already spending 100 quid) and the school gave me a fairly firm 'no'. I do not have the funds...

Ok, the temperatures were set for me per the advice from the breeder at Crystal Palace Reptiles, but I agree I was thinking that it might be too hot (however she was still exhibiting this behaviour prior to me installing this light set-up which I did about 3 days ago). I measure the...

Okay - I am worried about how to control temperature overnight then? As mentioned I am in London and it can get very cold at night, even indoors and am worried that during winter the temperature will drop too low? Or am I worrying too much? And as for water, I mist 2-3 times a day, each time...

I am going to be changing the bulb - think i will cut down on wattage too, for some reason I have gone through 2 bulbs in 3 days (even though they are correct for the set-up, i.e. the fittings can handle up to 200watts) so need a more cost effective solution. It's an exo-terra bulb, and I...

Hi All I am a school teacher in London and the school has recently acquired a chameleon that I now have the responsibility of looking after. Not that I mind, I think they are amazing creatures, only I have no reptile experience and am unsure about some aspects. Info is as follows: Chameleon...
