I know that a lot of people ask about handling chameleons, and I've been reading up on a lot of different situations and when/how it's best to handle chameleons, but none exactly fit my chameleon. Sebastian is about 1 3/4 years old and I've had him for 11 months. He's always been shy, and it...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm over reacting or being adequately cautious... my year-ish old male panther chameleon, Sebastian, has been acting out of sorts. He skipped a meal this weekend and the edges of his eyes seemed darker. He's been retreating to his sleepy spot more often and hanging...

I know orange and yellow means dehydrated, and that is very bad. Up until a two weeks ago, Sebastian was perfectly healthy and never had any problems (previous parasite tests were always negative). He is about a year old, and a few weeks ago he was looking a bit dehydrated (semi-sunken eyes). I...

Sebastian's eyes are dark and sunken and he is hanging out in a corner. There aren't any plant leaves for me to spray right in front of him because he is behind all of the plants, so I'm working on making a dripper to set up right in front of him in case he is dehydrated.... What should I do...

My male panther chameleon has been trusting me more and more lately, and when I leave the door to his cage open long enough and have enough worms on a branch outside of his cage he will come out for a 10ish minutes or as long as it takes to eat the worms!!!! This is a huge step, and I'm very...

Hi everyone, I'm moving to Australia (from Pennsylvania) next June, and at first I was super optimistic about bringing everything and everyone with me... but now I'm realizing how complicated this will be. Does anyone have any experience bringing chameleons on planes as a carry-on? I love my...

I was going to type this all out in caps because I'm so happy, but that would be hard to read.... anyway. I just wanted to share my recent success in 'taming' my male panther chameleon, Sebastian. When I first brought Sebastian home, he was shy and never came out of his cage. He eventually...

I'm not sure if my chameleon has sleeping issues..... Your Chameleon - ambilobe panther, male, about 9 months old, a 3 months in my care Handling - other than putting him in the cage and taking him out for a vet wellness-visit we haven't handled him yet Feeding - we feed him crickets and...

I've been finding more and more cicadas and tons of Japanese beetles around my house. Can I feed those to my chameleon? He'll have to grow a bit before he can fit a cicada in his mouth, but when the time eventually comes I don't want him get indigestion or something. It seems like such a...

Hi everyone! I'm taking my still-sort-of-shy male ambilobe panther chameleon who is about 8 months old to the vet for the first time. He settled into his new home a few weeks ago and I scheduled an appointment to check for any parasites. I lost my first chameleon to parasites and I hadn't gone...

Are orchids safe to put in my chameleon's cage? I mostly have pothos plants but would like to add some others as well.

We just got a male ambilobe panther chameleon on June 18th. He is about 7 months old. He looks pretty skinny and is always very eager for food. The breeder did not test him for parasites, but said that he dusts crickets with panacur every 6-8 months. We are planning on getting a fecal test done...

I have had a HabbaMist for a while and am happy with it. I am trying to get a second one to reduce the amount of extra manual spraying because the cage is so big. I searched and searched for another HabbaMist exactly like the one I have but with no avail, so I ordered a ReptiRain. The ReptiRain...

Hi everyone! I went to a reptile show last weekend, and I came across a breeder, Craig Long from total-e-chamz, who had gorgeous and healthy looking chameleons on display. My own female veiled chameleon recently passed, and I'm so heartbroken and miss her very much, so it was nice to hang out...

Last week, my female velied chameleon passed away after battling unknown illness(es) for two weeks. She was dehydrated for a short amount of time and possibly constipated too. She might have had parasites, but the medicine the vet gave her for that did not help her. We are so devastated that...

I've been on this forum a lot lately due to my chameleon's recent health issues. All details of the recent weeks are explained in this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/showthread.php?p=1201998#post1201998 Iggy has been through a lot recently, and at one point I was unsure if she...

My veiled female chameleon (Iggy) is about 2 1/2 - 3 years old, generally lays large clutches of eggs, and has had perfect health. Around the 18th, she started shedding. The skin on her casque began to flake a bit. Also on the 18th, Iggy stopped eating and was a dark color. This continued a...

My female veiled chameleon hasn't been eating much the last few days, and her color is darker than usual. She is about 2 years old now, and has laid eggs before: 7/5/14- 63 eggs, 9/25/14- 51 eggs, 12/17/14- 40 eggs, and on 3/7/15 she laid 53 eggs. All the eggs were infertile because she has...

My female veiled chameleon has never been bred and has laid three clutches of eggs: 61, 57, and 40. Between the second and third clutch I started feeding her on a 'diet' recommended on this website: http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-female-veiled.html I know...

I have a very healthy female veiled chameleon who is about 2-3 years old. She has laid 3 clutches of eggs before (61, 57, 40) all infertile (no breeding). She is shedding right now and sometimes she doesn't eat quite as much when she sheds so I didn't think of much when she was hesitant/not...
