So my concerns first started almost a week ago when my cham stopped eating crickets. It wasn't a big deal as he was still eating worms(butter and silk), and I figured I had just not been changing his gutload/feeders enough. Then about 3-4 days ago he had a very solid poop which met all the...

Hey everyone, as my title says my cham is on a bit of a hunger strike but only towards crickets. Butter worms and meal worms he has been eating but I am worried about his nutritional intake as I have never really done much gutloading with worms. Is there anything else more nutritious I could be...

So, I posted last week about my cham falling in his cage and took him for xrays and a general inspection and the vet said everything looked good. All he noticed was a bit of a sore on his foot that had already started scabbing over and said that may be the reason he has fallen in his cage. He...

The past two days my chameleon has fallen off of a plant in his cage. Each time I went up to him, lifted him up and he seemed 100% fine. No broken limbs, his grip strength is really good and he shows all the signs of a healthy cham. Should I be worrying about this? I know its (mostly) natural...

Today for the first time ever I noticed my panther chameleon sleeping with the lights on about 40 minutes before his lights usually shut off. Its not too unusual for him to go hide around this time and stay there until morning but its the first time I have ever noticed him with his eyes shut...

So as winter approaches it is getting colder and colder so i need to start thinking about winter proofing. I am going to be buying a new UVB bulb in November as that's when I need to replace anyway, upgrade my wattage in my current heat fixture and maybe get another fixture for a ceramic bulb...

He shed about a week ago and ever since then his poop has been a lot softer. I am worried he may be dehydrated or might have a parasite but the thing is he doesn't look dehydrated and he is acting normally and eating well. The first picture I am going to post is from two days ago and the last...

I moved my cham into his new cage and he spends most of his time in the upper 40% of the cage. Now that it is bigger the crickets aren't even bothering to climb the 4ft height to where he is. Anyone have any tips on how I can solve this problem? I tried a feeder cup but he did not like it and...

I have heard lots of mixed opinions and the most common one being that it is necessary as chameleons get older as they will get their claws stuck in the mesh of a cage and sometimes even pull out a claw or fall. Should I be putting plastic fencing in my cage before I move over my cham to his new...

How does this look for my set up? My main concern is the hanging plant and just making sure that while having it hanging like that he won't fall or it won't be a hazard to him. The location is just until I move his old cage and the only other thing I need to know is if it all looks safe. I...

He doesn't exactly look big but it seems like the cage he is in is now just too small for him to comfortably roam. My cage I have right now is 2x2x4. Is now a good time to place him in his new cage?

What I did was wash the plant in a soapy mixture for about a min and then rinsed it off. I did this about three times. Then I re-potted it in a clay pot with stones at the bottom and used an organic fertilizer free soil that DID have perlite so I covered up all the dirt with a layer of 1" to 4"...

This morning I went into my little guys cage and check on him, fed him and made sure everything was ok. Later when i got back from picking up a package I noticed this in the bottom of the cage! http://imgur.com/gS6gALv I am worried because he doesn't seem as active so I took him and put...

So I have had my almost five month old panther chameleon for about two weeks now and just wanted to ask a couple questions that I have been thinking about. I hope you can help me answer them! First I was just wondering what time is ideal for the lights to go on and off? Is it better to...

I got him about 2 days ago and since then I have not seem him drink. I mist his cage and plants (Fake plants for now) 2-5 times a day and I have a dipper available for him multiple times a day, allowing the cage to dry each time. My mist king is coming in about a week and I am hoping that it...

I ask this because mine always come out looking like a ghost. I have a new panther chameleon and I want to make sure that I am doing things right. I am using repashy and it just seems like a lot of the calcium sticks to the crickets.

Hey everyone, I am getting my first chameleon soon and I would like to give my cage a drain system. I see a lot of people using the wire racks from either hardware stores or wal-mart, would you consider this the simplest way to go if I wanted an easy to do drain system? Also are zap straps a...

Which one would be better for someone with just one chameleon but may be getting more in the future? Which one will give me less of a headache? All opinions are more than welcome. Also I am going to be living in a basement suite so my main concern is that the water from the mister will get...
