    How can I open chameleon's mouth for medicating?

    Dude, no nose pinching (like 1 person suggested) or anything like that is every necessary. Either is trying to wedge the syringe into his mouth by forcing it open. All u have to do it gently piinch the loose skin under the neck, and pull downwards. The chameleon will try to pull away but that's...

    Silkworms VS Moth: which is more nutritious?

    Regarding the point of silk moths being cocoons for weeks without food before hatching and being fed to the chams, that's true but.....silkies only eat mulberry leaves or mulberry chow anyway. That isn't a SUPER nutrition source for chams in the first place. So with that said, there's no...

    I found an easy way to make sure they drink when i got my first cham. Use a spray bottle, put it on the finest stream (so as not to spray all over it's face), and spray the side of it's mouth. It will absorb into the mouth right before your eyes. When i first saw it disappear into it's mouth...

    Chameleon sleeping upside down

    They do sell basking light fixtures that have a dimmer dial instead of just an on/off switch. All 4 of the lights on top of my cham's screen top are on dimmers. Just not the UVB tube. They're very handy. I turn them each off slowly to simulate the sun
