Hello everyone, its been Months since i've been able to get on here. With storm preparations just about finished and the reptile room sealed and secured, I thought I'd stop in and say Hello. I've missed you guys a ton! The Veils are doing great and the Tegus are awesome. Sweeney, my Male Veil is...
Alright Cham owners and even aspiring Cham Owners.
I have the ultimate Chameleon keeping question of all time.
Why did you decide to keep chameleons?
For me, I promised my girlfriend she could get one, and i fell in love with them. lets hear yours.
Well, all is going well in the cham world..
Sweeney is dong well and Isis is starting to eat veggies.
I want to apologize for my lack of presence here, its killing me not having the time or energy to come on here and i miss you all! haha
Working a worthless job with miserable people now...
Wow, the last week or so, that ive been missing from here has been eventful. Geesh i've totally missed the forums though! Haha, so anyway, a little while ago, i had been asking if my female Veil, Isis was carrying eggs ( Infertile eggs) and i got a mixed response.
Some said Yes,
More said...
Well, i finally got a hold of Isis to take some long needed photos, and she has decided to show off a little and flare up.
My question to you all and the reason for posting this in breeding is, is she carrying eggs? Can anyone tell?
I moved her into Sweeney's cage so she has plenty of...
Figured i'd start an interesting thread to see what information i can stir up.
Alternative foods for chameleons, what out of the "normal" foods do you feed your chameleons and why. Most people that i know feed crickets, dubia roaches, silk worms, mealworms, phoenix worms, and some veggies...
Figured i could start up a fun topic for a lazy morning here at the house.
What is your favorite species of chameleon and why. It can be anything from a small locale or subspecies, or if your obsessed with an entire group of chameleons that works too.
Figured this could be a good area of...
This is something all cham owners should view. Both new owners and life long keepers.
I came up with this earlier and decided i to give it its own thread.

Well, i have been doing alot of reading on the laying bins and i hear alot that chams won't lay in a bin thats elevated at all. Here is my problem. The problem with this is that my laying bin is a fishtank. haha i'm posting a video of the bin, 2/3rd's of the bin is hidden with foliage and...
My question is, does producing an infertile clutch of eggs take a toll less than or equal to producing a fertile clutch of eggs.
Lets say the species is Chamaeleo calyptratus.
Now, in my mind, the logical answer is that it takes less of a toll on the body because the infertile eggs require...

Wondering if my female is developing eggs. she has a laying bin just incase. She's terribly aggressive towards everyone haha, she's put on weight since i got her at the age of 6 months, that was about 1 month ago. Ps, she has never been in physical contact with a male under my care. before that...
Well, went to check up on the chams, and my female had been down on the very bottom of the cage, sitting half on a branch, half on the mesh screen. Normally she runs as fast as a chameleon can to the top when i unzip the door, instead she did nothing, i picked her up, she had what i've come to...
EDIT: Note
Some of the books i had been using to find this information are outdated and worthless, My bad and i would love to change this information to the correct Data. If anyone has information that is correct, please feel free to tell me the correct information. Thank you! Terribly sorry...
Spent some time on google this morning to bring you all this! Have fun!

Well my female veiled chameleon is being highly aggressive and is going even as far as to attempt to shoot her tongue at my face. She makes constant lunges at me and will try to bite me at every chance she gets.
The only real time i handle her is when she gets fed, i take her out, and she...
Well, every now and then i find a moth or two in the house and my veils seem to love them, if what i've been told is true, moths are generally clean versus butterflies that can be toxic and diseased.
Carpenter Ants, We have a nasty hoard or these little brats, and the only major concern i...
Took Sweeney for a walk today, he seemed to love it, we went around two blocks and then back home, brilliant blues and greens once we were back in the yard. haha fun day.
