    Pulled tail hard by accident!!

    I went home for lunch and noticed there is a branch that is about to fall so I tried to get my Veiled off the branch and put him back in his enclosure with some food-- when I tried grabbing him he wouldn't let go and he usually does and the branch and the chameleons was about to fall and I think...

    Too close sleeping?

    I have this setup below and tonight is the only night when I noticed both my chameleon over on the branch sleeping quiet close to each other, what's the safe distance? They sleep in their enclosure and sometimes my panther will sleep on the branch and the plants block their view from each...

    Skittish at 8 weeks.

    Mad skittish in 8 weeks -- baby Panther. Thanks for reading-- I was told by a senior chameleon member not to handle a baby Chameleon too much because they need 6-8 months to make thicker skin and they are fragile, everything is moving delicately inside and they are scared when they are young and...

    A Veiled, a Panther and an African Gray in the same room

    Hi all, I have a good size room-- much bigger than a kids bedroom. I don't know the exact size, I'll take a picture shortly. The Veiled and Panther are free rangers-- but the free range is only surrounds their enclosure, it doesn't branch out to other parts of the room-- they have their own...

    Chameleon fell from 9 feet.

    I setup a free roaming range. For some reason the 7 months old guy fell couple of times-- idk what he is trying to do but sometimes he runs across the bamboo that goes to the ceiling and sometimes he falls. The floor is carpeted, when he lands he doesn't look hurt but he's shocked when he...

    Missing chameleon: ransacked the room / fyi's lesson learned.

    Yesterday was a complete misery. I thought I lost my 7 weeks old $300 bucks panther with a special blend and it stressed me the hell out. I'm starting to train my Chameleons to be free rangers at day time and night time back on their cage-- during work I feel terrible they're in their cages...

    Cricket breeds -- different types

    I just watched a show on dirty jobs about a cricket farm in GA- I had no idea you can buy different types of crickets. I've only seen one type on Amazon, Petco, Petsmart and online but I guess they have few different ones. Does anyone or has anyone used them before? are some better than...

    Dirty Jobs - Discovery

    A very interesting episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REzkmbDRRI8 - thought most Chameleon owners would be interested to watch mass a production in a popular show on Discovery.

    Older vs. Young Chameleon speed/movement freerange?

    Hi, I just read someone's chameleon escaped and couldn't find him. But hes Chameleon was very small. I have one large 5 months Veiled and a 7 weeks panther. I have plans on letting the Veiled be a free ranger since they have their own room-- all carpeted with a door window locked...

    Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 Rainfall Sys

    I'm a fairly new owner and have a lot of random questions. I did realize owning Chameleons (2) isn't the same as owning a snake or a lizard-- I knew it was going to be somewhat costly and sometime time consuming but I find them fascinating and take good care of them. I have a question about...

    Are butterflies with large wings safe?

    I sometimes give my guy butterflies with large wings. The butterfly head is way smaller in width than his head. I wonder if this is safe Chow down - he becomes very anti-social when he sees a butterfly and concentrated on it for a long time until he gets it.

    Chameleon Lotion? health products

    Hi Guys, I haven't seen anything you can buy to help my Chameleons health besides Calcium with D3, Calcium without D3 and Mineral white dust. I really haven't seen anything in the market to help them-- especially spray products. Have anyone used any of these ones? I just ordered...

    Chameleon, Fish, Shrimp and misting in the screen

    Hi, I've switched out my old enclosure with was 60% glass and 40% screen. Now my Veiled has 100% screen cage. How do I retain humidity, my Veiled was shedding this weekend and I read somewhere to provide plenty of misting, spraying when they shed to help them shed better. How do I retain...

    Under the hood - Anatomy

    I wonder if anyone is curious to see what's under the hood. People here mention things about their respiratory system, reproduction system and yet I don't understand how it works. Since it's advised not to grab a hold of them or handle them too roughly when they are young I guess their...

    Chameleon Addiction

    I was curious if there are Chameleon addicts like when people get one tattoo suddenly they realize they have 10 somehow. Do some people on there have that case? did you find yourself having one Chameleon then getting 2 and now you have 5? Is there such thing as Chameleon Addiction...

    Chameleon-- behavioral question.

    I noticed my Chameleon is always awake as soon as I walk into his room-- Scenario 1: Yemen/veiled But sometimes, not often at all he will be sleeping and nothing can wake him up. Yesterday he did the same thing, I went into his cage to drop off 2 wild caught mantis-- he goes crazy when he...

    Keeping food in plain sight of Le Chameleon

    I don't know if this is a good idea-- but I realized yesterday after I fed my Chameleons I left the Cricket cage in front of the Chameleon cage. My Veiled is a machine, he can eat-- after I fed him his crickets, he was starring at the Cricket container-- it's one of those clear one's with dark...
