    Popping my head back in after an extended break from the forums. While cleaning my boy Kyle's cage, I found several small snail shells. I can only assume they came from the soil I used to pot the plants in his cage. Has anyone else ever found these small garden snails in their chams...

    Pimped my new ride

    Long story short, I blew up my old car and needed a new car. Got my new ride last week and after towing my old car to the junkyard my wife surprised me with this sweet decal she made. She took a photo of Kyle and used his silhouette for the decal. I told her she should start sell these or...

    The punk fooled me....

    On my lunch break today, I went home to relax a bit. As I walked by Kyle's cage he shoots his tongue at me and smacks the screen. My first thought is that he hungry since today is a feeding day and my fiancee didn't feed him before she left for work. So, I go ahead and feed him his roaches...

    King Kyle in his new castle

    Finally got my veiled chameleon, Kyle, into his new enclosure. He spent at least an hour just roaming around checking out all the new spaces. Kind of happy with how it turned it. I may add a small hanging pothos near the top. Any recommendations on the enclosure?
