Chameleon Info:

I own my 1 and only blue bar ambilobe so I am by no means an expert or close to it but from what I understand through my research is that these little guys are tree folk and seldom like to be on the ground unless for a few reasons which are 1. female who may be looking to lay eggs. 2. they may...
Hey thanks for your reply.
I'm going to give it a shot. I really hope it doesnt die on me. I just feel bad for Herbert because he's having less and less leaves to take cover under and fewer branches to crawl around on/sleep on.
Hey all,
I currently have a schefflera/umbrella tree in my enclosure. It's been there for 4 months now and in the last 2-3 weeks I've run into a problem. The bottom leaves and branches have all slowly been falling off. I am very sad because the top half of the tree looks very healthy. The...
hey thanks for the reply.
i guess my concern is that covering the soil does not address the actual problem which is that he's searching for nutrients. at least so i understand.

Hey all
I have a 4.5 month old panther chameleon who has been exhibiting a different behavior for the last few days and I was wondering if it's a problem and what solution there might be for it.
I have noticed the little guy crawling down the stem of my schefflera to the soil and he's been...
Hey all
Just wanted to share a little adventure in Herbert's (4.5 month old blue bar chameleon) life today.
I had his mesh cage half open as I sometimes do and fell asleep in my bed next to his cage. I woke up maybe a half hour later and stared into his cage and couldnt find him. I...
Beautiful guy you have there. I'm feeling the exact same way with my 4mth old. Everday i look at him and see his colors showing i say "i'm so excited that he's growing!" :) keep up the great work

hey thanks for the responses!
i took another look at the "tweezer" photo.
they're the zoomed metal tongs... hopefully that's not an issue in the future. hasn't been thus far.
