If anyone is interested in a 3 year old chameleon please let me know. As a college student I stay at home so that I do not have to pay an extra $12,000. However my mother really does not like Bort (my cham) since she says he uses a "ton" of electricity. I've had him for 3 years but it suddenly...

Hi all, I'm just curious as to what type of plants to place in the enclosure. I have an empty 10 gal tank that I'd like to put to use. I have also heard mixed thoughts on having a basking bulbs since they don't need it over 80 degrees or so. Also have heard mixed thoughts on leaf litter! Any...

Took Bort out for the first time in a while and noticed a line under his tail? Could it just be from use?

Hi all, just curious if anyone in Oregon has caught grasshoppers before. I about 20 miles from Portland so I'm just curious. I'd like to breed them for my Cham eventually.

Hey all, I'm soon going to change my custom enclosure to a large dragonstrand one. I really the idea of using great stuff to mask the pots and zip ties. However, I do not know if there's any steps I need to take or if I just spray it on and that's it. Any advice is appreciated!

So I have bought hornworms and had them for a while but I didn't know how fast they grow so! I read that if you can see their pulse then it's time to move them to a box with paper pulp/dirt to pupate. I couldnt help but look in after the third day of them being in the box and I found that each...

My boy bort is a year and 3 months old now and has been doing something strange recently. He's been gaping throughout the day but it's only a half gape. He'll walk around like this and then sometimes he'll yawn/stretch or he'll just close his mouth. Could it be because he's about to shed? One of...

I've had both on the same feed schedule for quite a while now. 12 crickets every other day, 1 super worm and 4 or so crickets on the other days. It alternates. However today I saw him try to chew up a small rock which covers the soil of the plants. Any ideas as to why? Should I feel him 12 or so...

So today I was feeding bort and I noticed that his mouth on his left side looked off. Kind of wrinkled a bit? In the picture you may or may not be able to see it but it's where his lip looks like it's kind of dirty. When he chews, the corner of his mouth inside is pink and fleshy (maybe an...

I have no clue how to set my ST 24 timer to go off 3 times a day or so. I ordered my mistking around March or last year, the company forgot to give me the nozzles so I emailed them and they gave me a second timer (which didn't help anything at all). Today I stumbled across my second timer and...

I've been turning a liquor hutch into Bort's new enclosure and I finally finished it today! I have pothos and lipstick plants inside but they obviously need to grow out more so I might buy some fake plants until they grow in. Also may have to get a stronger basking bulb as I have only seen a...

This summer I'm going to catch a lot of grasshoppers in my field. I was wondering what the proper set up would be to breed them since I only want him eating captive bred feeders? Also how long would it take for them to mature?

Just curious if there's anyone close to Portland, Oregon who owns a Cham.

I'm turning a liquor hutch into an enclosure for my panther chameleon (Bort). However I'm curious whether or not to keep the glass fronts (they are removable) since it is getting very cold here in Oregon (well below freezing). I'll include a picture.

Took bort in for his first check up the other day and the vet said everything is fine, he's very strong, no signs of MBD etc etc. However when we got home I tried to give him a treat and he's been having problems with his tongue all of a sudden. Could he have sprained it? He can retract it, but...

Help!! I took bort to the vet today for a check up for his fist time ever and they said he was fine. I was surprised however of how they were manhandling him. He was fine after we got back home with him in his enclosure, but he was grumpy which is understandable. Main problem is that I tried...

What would be a good present/treat for a Cham? I would like him to somewhat acknowledge that I appreciate him :p

So my cham is about to be a year old and I'm of course planning on getting a 24x24x48 enclosure or bigger. However I'm stuck trying to decide whether to use an armoire or a screen cage. An armoire is more appealing and would be a fun project. However my question is what the steps would be...

Hey guys, have had a question in the back of my head for a while now so might as well ask. Do all chameleons have the same color iris? For those who do not know what the iris is, it is the colored portion of the eye that is responsible for adjusting pupil size and etc. My chams iris is a...
