    Chameleon Myths/Legends etc?

    it looks like most, if not all, cham myth's come from africa. One states that the cham changes color to mourn the sloth of Unwaba. He was sent to bring immortality to humans but was to slow, and a lizard bearing the message of death arrived first. this seems to be the recurring theme in all of...

    Chameleon Myths/Legends etc?

    this topic seems to be heading into dangerous territory!!:eek: that said, my opinion is that people killing cham's out of fear/superstition, while sad, isn't as bad as the way pigs, cows and chickens are housed and treated before being slaughtered so people can eat them! In America and other...

    4 week old veiled chameleon not drinking

    i know that for abotu 2 weeks after i got Karma i had to mist at least twice a day for at least 5 minutes at a time, to stimulate his drinking instinct. just make sure to let the enclosure dry out between misting!

    frogs?

    Pac-man frogs are awesome! they get pretty big and don't make much if any noise. i had mine in a 10 gallon aquarium before he passed, so they don't really take up a ton of space.

    I've had him for almost a month and he hasn't shed yet. i don't know if i should be worried or not. He's not very big, but maybe i'm being paranoid

    uh, oh...

    there should be an organic spray that you could use. i'd check a health store or a natural food market. they have everything now a-days! I'll also ask my mom what to use that won't hurt the cham's

    we have 2 plants in there, so water collecting shouldn't be a problem. the dripper that's on it is set to super-slow and is above one of the plants. I'll definitely keep my eye on it though and clean it out more often if its needed. i hadn't really thought about it until now

    uh, oh...

    will it be an issue if i clean the tank once a week? i know that if it's longer the water can start to breed a ton of bacteria. once he starts to get healthier i was going to get one from LLL reptile.

    i have a ten gallon aquarium with a 10 gallon screen top on it. (it's the same size as if you set 2 ten gallon aquariums on top of each other.) the top 10 gallons is wire mesh. thats where he spends most of his time. the 65 gallon is an apogee reptarium.

    surprisingly Petco. We found one that had a big healthy male veiled. The reptile guy there actually has a cham! they had a drip system and everything. even had his plant turned so he could hide if he so wanted. The guy was really cool. I found a screed thing to put on top of the 10 gallon...

    do cham's bruise?

    no, he wasn't! The spot seems to be faded today, so i think it was just a bruise. i'm looking into another vet in the area. he was the closest one (1/2 hour away :()

    Update on Petstore find!!!!

    yeah i noticed that at one of them around here too! i couldn't figure it out, either. but they had already sold there veiled so i don't know how it was doing

    do cham's bruise?

    I'm trying to get a better pic, but he's not being really helpful. :p the spot is pretty big in comparison to his body. It looks like he turn black because he was pissed and that one spot didn't turn back. I'm calling the other Exotic Vet in the area and seeing if they actually have cham...

    Update on Petstore find!!!!

    Just as a side note, not all pet-stores are bad! I was at a very nice Petco yesterday, and they had a veiled. he had a dripper, and some (but not enough) plants to climb on. i talked with both of the reptile guys, one of which adopted the other veiled they had, and both were knowledgeable. i...
