Just like my title says, I am curious and wondering how all of you and your chams are being affected by the current situation with this pandemic. I am not active much on the forums so I haven't got a chance to read much of what has been going on with all the cham owners. Is everyone okay? Are...
My cham just recently passed right after I had bought 100 brand new 3/4" dubia roaches, and instead of just throwing them out, I figured someone on here could use them. No charge, I will just send them to the first person who wants them. I want to get rid of them as fast as possible. I have them...
It appears we were too late. We tried everything and called around 5 different vets, but they didn't have any appointments until next week. My little cham has been in a downward spiral the past day, and now I am fairly sure she will not make it through the day. She is still holding onto a stick...
When my cham started basking today she had her eyes closed so I thought that was weird. When I got home I notice she as in the same spot (she may have moved and just come back to it, or maybe not) and when I walked in her opened her eyes, but kept blinking them. When she blinked, I saw that...
I am in need of some dermestids because during the winter I can't clean the roach bin as often (we have loads of snow/rain) and I think a cleaner crew would be very beneficial. I don't know how many I should buy, though. I was thinking about 25 beetles. I have a medium storage bin, not huge, but...
I just noticed a little bump hear my cham's shoulder and I haven't seen her neglecting that leg or anything, so I didn't think she had any pain, but it only shows up in this position. I apologize for the blurry picture. Is it the equivalent of a shoulder blade? Or time for a vet?
I also have...
So I was just thinking while looking at a safe plant list for chameleons . . .
I have an oil diffuser which I don't use very much due to my fear of it being unsafe for chameleons, but I just thought, are plants that are safe for chameleons okay to be diffused? For example, on the safe chameleon...
I saw a thread about pesky gnats/fruit flies a couple weeks ago, and I just stumbled upon a few possible solutions to the problem that some of us have with our plants. I have one plant that is particularly bad, but I do not want to put chemicals on it for the protection of my cham, obviously.
I...
I have been noticing a little bit of extra chub at the bottom of my female veileds neck, and I am worried that it is gular edema. She has been getting calcium regularly with every feeding and calcium with d3 around twice a month. There should be a picture attached, I apologize for the cruddy...
I have decided that I want to add some snails to my cham's diet since the roaches escape and die and smell and all those wonderful things. I tried to get some from Snails in the Mail, but unfortunately their website isn't up anymore and I have to look somewhere else. I have been looking for...
I am going to be taking a nine day trip in a couple of weeks and I was making plans for my cham. She is a little more than a year and a half old and I had a few quick questions about what everyone else usually does for their trips.
I will have the mister on the whole time, and I unfortunately...
This is my veiled girl and she has been showing these striking stripes since maybe around one or two days ago. Is she gravid? Just wanted a second opinion, or more I have a very small bin with sand at the bottom and if I notice her digging or putzing around in it I am going to move her to a...
I have been wanting to get cleaner bugs for my dubia roach bin for a while now, but I wasn't sure which kinds were the most dubia-friendly. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to know how many I should buy and what kinds are available. If anyone has any good online sellers, please...
Does anyone have any good glass cage suggestions that don't cost too much? I wanted to build one, but I realized I definitely do not have enough time for that. It would take months.
I know it is a bit of a silly questions, since all decent sized glass cages are at the higher price range of...
Okay, so I have NO IDEA what the problem is with my roach bin, but I know for a fact that it is unhealthy. About a month ago I tossed some cucumber in with some romaine lettuce because I saw that chameleons can have gutloaded cucumbers . . . and I had some on hand . . . bad idea. For some reason...
I was feeding my cham this morning when I noticed a small spider in the roach bin. I tried to nab it, but it scurried under the egg crates. My roaches have been dying recently, could this be the reason why? I have no idea how a little spider could do so much damage, so that's probably not why...
I have seen it before where people make feeder cups out of recycled material. I might try this to keep the roaches from escaping and to help my cham see her food better. Does anyone have any good suggestions/videos/instructions?
In this show that the kids I sometimes look after watch, called the Lion Guard (Disney), there is a chameleon whose name happens to be Kinyonga! I thought it was awesome since @kinyonga knows so much about chameleons. Here is the link to Kinyonga the Chameleon's character bio:

I have a medium storage bin of dubias, and I give them romaine lettuce and water crystals as a food source. But I don't know how to get them to stop killing and eating each other! I just bought about 100 a few days ago, and I have a few adults in the actual bin as well. I haven't had any...
I am looking to invest in a glass cage since they hold humidity better, provide a better view of the chameleon, and the bugs don't get out as easily (hopefully). For those chameleon keepers who have glass enclosures, what kind do you prefer for a veiled or panther chameleon?
