    Chameleon Lifespan. How old is your older Cham?

    Hey, I took my chameleon to the vet for a check up. He said I may be seeing changes in my cham because he is 2 and a half and they typically only live between 3 and 5 years. I always thought makes can live between 5 and 7. How old are your older chams, and how old have you seen them get to? I...

    Eye issues

    I need a second opinion. My chameleons right eye was originally burnt from having a concentrated UVB bulb. Saw a vet twice, and antibiotics, pain meds, and anti inflammatories were not working. Went for a second opinion from a different vet (this eye has cost me over $800 within the last year)...

    Opening mouth

    Hey everyone, so I dont know if I am just being paranoid because of a glass enclosure, but I do see my chameleon have his mouth gaping quite often. I do not hear any sounds, and there is some saliva, but I have no clue if that is normal or not. Now, I do have the ventilated exo terra 24 x 38 x...

    Linear UVBs versus LED UVB linear bulbs

    So after going to a different vet for my chameleons eye issues, he told me to fix my uvb bulb by replacing with a linear one and discontinue the use of antibiotics. My question is, if my terrarium is 24 inches wide, should I be buying one that large? Or should it be half the size of the cage? I...

    Is this appropriate for a bioactive terrarium?

    So, I put boiled pebbles, and hydroballs on the bottom along with an unfinished drainage system. I have added the mesh layer and have added some organic soil and plantation soil from exo terra along with a little exo terra bark. I can add more soils if necessary... I have planted a hibiscus, an...

    New enclosure (I know glass is frowned upon)

    So, I know it is frowned upon, however, Lokkie went to the vets today and I asked her opinion and she agreed that it will work to have my little guy in a glass enclosure. I was struggling to get my basking spot above 79 in a mesh cage, and we ended up putting him closer to reach the needed...

    Getting worried.

    I believe my panther chameleon is about 6 and a half months. He had an eye infection in which I have antibiotics for. His eye still is not perfect, but is in the works. While I was in hospital, my husband had the basking light too close and he has a burnt spike or two. I don't think he needs to...

Lights go back on at 8 am, however, my husband goes to work at 5:30 am, and he is wide awake. Is this something to be concerned about? Is...

    Is it safe to use outdoor sticks?

    I was curious if it is safe to use outdoor sticks in a chameleons enclosure? They don' have bark on them, but I also don't know what species of tree I cut them from. I will appreciate any input. Obviously I don' want to do anything that will harm him.
