Haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share my observations and experiences with chameleon efforts.
I began with a rescue Melleri named Olive, living in New York City, who was about 3 years old. His original setup was a reptibreeze large enclosure, hooked up with all the trimmings. After he...
Hello keepers,
I'd like start by saying thank you to all of you for being part of something truly amazing, and lending your advice and knowledge to others, who wish to join our little world of chameleon husbandry. The act of replicating an environment in such great detail, facilitating a...
Hey there,
So I have an absolutely monstrous free range set up, a living room with a system of interconnected plants, walkways, and feeding spots. Right now I have a 3+ year old Meller who is living in this spot. I would like for him to have a companion, or simply to fill the space up a bit...

*Still a work in progress, but the structure is...

Some photos of my panther cham newton showing some vibrant colors as he notices my female panther baby bella.
Also added a new friend to the free range circus that is now my apartmet in NYC, my mellers
This lovely little lady.... "baby bella" is ail sweetheart and unfortunately I must get rid of her because she is not meshing well with my gigantic freerange. She's too small and I'm afraid that she will get lost.

So I have been handling my cham everyday and he is always calm, never gets dark or fires up / never even thought of hissing or biting, so I decided to take him with me on a 15 minute trip to petco a few blocks up.
It was a tad chilly out not terrible tho, so I tucked him underneath my coat...
