On Wednesday I purchased a female veiled chameleon. (Hoehnelli will have to wait.) I've been admiring them from afar for quite some time, and I will be happy when she arrives (although she won't be coming for about a month.) I am torn between two options: keeping her outside with natural...

My boyfriend and I have been building a new cage for our chameleon Walter, and it took us 5 days of work! I'm not a great or experienced wood-worker or cage-builder and the only tools I had at my disposal were a miter saw, a drill, and a nail gun (although I don't doubt some people could do...

I wanted to post a few pictures of Walter now that he's doing better and I feel better about invading him with the camera. I'm pretty certain that he's a boy now not only because I trust his breeder but also because I think I've seen turquoise spots across his body and because his face is the...

I'll start on-topic with the roach questions... -Are dubias the best feeder roach? Would anyone recommend keeping two types of roaches? -Is it best to use the gel water cube things or will fruits/vegetables give them enough water? I read something about a damp paper towel too, just not...

Some male panthers have really prominent ummm... nose formations? What are those called? It seems like some males have longer noses than others. Do they grow with age, or is it genetic, or does it just depend on each chameleon? Do females have them too?

Walter is eating much better now, you can see his full tummy. It makes me feel really good that he's fully hydrated and has a lot of energy now, but he still has a few remnants of his dysecdysis. I want to soak him in water, but I don't think he's even 4 months old. We had some issues there...

How common would it be for an experienced breeder to make a mistake in sexing baby panthers? I trust my breeder, but even they claim they can't do it perfectly, I understand why it can be hard. I'm worried because my 4 month old male looks almost exactly like a chameleon someone else is selling...

Does anyone have a lot of experience with growing hibiscus? The home depot by my house has some blue hibiscus for sale now (i've been keeping my eye out) for just $7 but they're just a bundle of short, bare branches. Do those things even work? Does anyone know how long it would take for it to...

Hey guys, I thought I'd introduce myself since I've been asking a lot of questions. My name is Christen, I live in SE Texas. I'm a waitress and a student currently studying biotechnology/molecular biology. I've raised lambs, bred rabbits, and worked with horses, llamas, bearkats, and a...

I don't think Walter has eaten in at least four days but he just ate a fat cricket!!!! His shed is coming along, slowly. There is progress at least. And I gave the crickets some spirulina fish food last night in case Walter's dysecdysis is due to hypovitaminosis A, because he doesn't have...

I don't think my chameleon's condition is presently life-threatening. I know the bottom line is that I need to see a vet, I have a few to call in the early morning tomorrow to see if they have experience with chameleons. Until then I wanted to ask you guys because most of you know much more than...

I posted in the health clinic a few days ago because my 3 to 4 month old ambilobe x ambanja chameleon wasn't feeling well. I'm not going to link to the thread because it's too long and I can sum it up by saying that the temperature was too high and my light timing was off. I lowered his...

I am concerned about my new ambilobe/ambanja cross panther chameleon, Walter. He was hatched in September and I have had him since December 20th (I think about three weeks). His breeder provided specific and helpful instructions that I have followed strictly because I wanted him to be healthy...
