When I first go Pi, I was buying her food from a popular chain pet store, but the distance was a bit of a pain, so I looked for a local place that might be a little bit closer and I'll be darned, I found one that was pretty close. They had all the supplies you could ever need for any reptile or...

Complete cage cleaning. I'd say every few weeks ago, I do a complete cleaning of Pi's cage. Clean carpet (her 'mess' is picked up every day though), rearrange sticks, vines, even get new ones to replace the older sticks. Although to do this, I feel it's safer to remove her as I do all this...

My chameleon just experienced her first shedding. Since then (and during) her mood has changed. She's been much more avoidance. I don't handle her often (unless I HAVE to) since she's so young but usually when I stick my hand in to feed her or something of that nature, she doesn't back away, and...

I searched for threads before this one, but I found one from 2007, and didn't want to bump that one. Situation: I came in to see my chameleon with her mouth gaping. There was no one/nothing else in the room to pose a threat, so (I'm assuming) it wasn't a threat determent. I've read maybe...

Pi is about just over a month old now and she has this black spot on her. Thing is, she's had it since I got her and I figured the people that had her previously just didn't take care of their animals. Now it still hasn't gone away or gotten any better. I know they can get fleas or ticks, but...

I've seen a few posts on 'what it means' when a chameleon curls its tail. Everything from keeping balance to looking intimidating or being scared. For the most part Pi is pretty chill, she does her hunting when she's hungry, her basking most of the day, and her sleeping at night. What I have...

I live in the Northern part of Florida, but even there it doesn't get very cold, even in December the lowest it normally gets is the lower side of 30 degrees, give or take. Should I consider buying the red heating bulb for the colder months? Or more specifically, at what temperatures should I...

I'm not sure if this is where this question belongs, sorry if it doesn't...:confused: I have a female right now who is currently too young to breed or have eggs, but when should I start thinking of getting a male? I heard that was the best way to handle a female having eggs. I just want to...

Once Pi started eating, she's been on mostly fruit flies and (small) crickets. I've read some people feeding worms. Like any owner, I want her to be healthy so I thought maybe giving her options would be nice. If I can feed her worms, which types should I and how would I go about doing so...

Right now my baby girl chameleon is eating small crickets and tiny fruit flies (she's roughly 4 weeks). When should I start giving her bigger food? Is that really just different from cham to cham or is there a specific age where I should try to start introducing different food? Would it be...

I saw this lovely cage on eBay that I considered getting, temporarily, because she's so tiny I thought maybe a smaller cage would make her feel better. She doesn't seem to be having problems with the big care, but the cage I have now is definitely for a full grown. Anyways, I saw the cage...

I assume a lot of you eventually have to travel away from home for a night or two. How do you ensure your baby is taken care of while you're gone? Since I just got her, I don't plan on leaving home for a long while (maybe due to maternal instincts lol) but I'm already having serious trust...

After about two days of my baby vielded not eating many of her crickets, I went up to the pet store (a different one from where I got her) and told them that she wasn't eating as I thought she should be, the woman suggested fruit flies instead. As well as separating her cage into smaller...

I recently purchased a vieled chameleon, about 3 weeks old. I read through the FAQs & the Chameleon Care thread and got a few answers to some questions that I had but I still have some more. 1. Should the heating lamp be on along with the UBV light or should they be on at separate times...
