Dr. Mader says the average life span of a chameleon is 4 to 6 years so Zaphod was right in the middle. You did a great job with him and he was such a handsome boy. There’s really something about well loved veileds and how easy it is to get attached to them. I think more so that anyother species...
What kind of chameleon? Six is a very small number for a veiled or Panther. I recommend an official laying bin not just some dirt and sand in the bottom of the cage. If she were mine, I’d get an x-ray to see if there’s more eggs. She might need an injection of oxytocin. If she becomes egg bound...

Decor: you don't have to bake your bake you branches but some do to kill any bugs that might be on or in it.

I have been very sad having to deal with the loss of my chameleons. I feel like someone has ripped out my heart not just once but multiply times. At first I was in shock and denial then anger and depression. Since tax season is over I am staying busy to keep my mind off everything but it’s still...
I have found 40 voulme peroxide to be an excellent way to clean for coccidia. You can find the 40 volume peroxide at a beauty supply store and it's best to get the liquid and not the gel.
I love JoJo's story. Thank you for sharing it with us. My chams love for me to interact with them. Several of them reach and grab for me when they see me. I think that JoJo knows that you saved her and that she appreciates everything that you do for her. I look forward to your updates.
