    NEW SET FOR MY CHAMELEON

    What's with all this "no chameleon could ever live in an enclosure this short" dialogue? If my conversions are correct, then that's a 36"w x 18"d x24"h viv, right? Clearly no large species like panthers or veileds could ever be responsibly kept in such an enclosure past a very very young age...

    Please help

    Even if you aren't keeping them together in the same cage, under no circumstances should you ever allow them to get that close to each other (for reasons which should be more than obvious by now). There is no miracle solution to cure the eye. The eyes are critical to a chameleon's wellbeing. A...

    Chameleon barely eats or drinks, always wants to come out

    Well for one thing, that cage is way too small for him at his age/size. That could easily contribute to him wanting to come out all the time. You are using the wrong type of UVB light, too. It is very important to switch it out for a T5 linear UVB light. The compact one you are using will not...

    Is this normal Cham behavior? Is he sick?

    This is definitely not a good sign. Closing eyes during the day is a sure sign of illness. It also is not in your favor that you purchased him from PetSmart, which does a notoriously bad job of taking care of chameleons. I recommend you forget everything the employees told you there, too. They...

    OPINION: Why I don't feed crickets

    Preach! I'll second the orange head roaches, that's for sure. My chams ignore dubia, but go crazy for orange heads. I've had reasonable success with red runners, too

    OPINION: Why I don't feed crickets

    If I breathe even a liiittle bit around crickets, I break out in a full on rash on every joint in my body (and face, because why not). Only allergy I have and it only started a year or two ago. Between that and the ear-grating noises they make, I'll go very far out of my way to use other options...

    Oops - Kinyongia Boehmei

    Envious of these two for sure!! I've been seeing a lot of them popping up on the web lately and wish I had the room. They look great, good luck with them

    Say hi to Uzi!

    Looks more like an ambilobe to me, but it could be either (or a cross-breed)

    Injured tail??

    This is my concern, too. The way OP worded the post makes me worried that they live together

    Boy or Girl cham?!

    There are a few things here that will need to be corrected, but you will be able to fix these with a few important changes that won't be too hard! You're off to a good start and I'm glad to see you've already realized your current lighting will not be sufficient. Supplements: If you are only...

    How long to veils sleep ?

    Wait, you don't use a heat source that produces light at night do you? No matter what color of light it is, it is never acceptable to have a light on a chameleon's enclosure at night. I really hope you mean you are using a ceramic heat emitter, which emits heat without light, to produce heat at...

    Anyone keep Mantellas?

    In my experience, they are extremely easy to keep. If you can keep a chameleon, they should be no problem at all! I've found the mantellas I've kept to be fairly shy (which is why I keep dartfrogs now instead), so if I were you I would look into ones that are considered "bolder" in nature if you...

    Roommate for Cham?

    No. If you want another pet but not another enclosure, then you are not ready for another pet. Their needs come first. Edit: You haven't even had your chameleon for a month yet, a new pet should be the furthest thing from your mind. Please be responsible.

    Help Coloration

    Panther chameleon is the species. What you're asking for is actually his "locale". Without knowing his definite genetics, we can only guess, but I would say he looks closer to a nosy be than an ambilobe. Since he's only 9 months old, though, his colors are still developing and may be subject to...

    Cage size?

    No need to be sorry! This happens a lot, just wanted to get you in the know :)

    HELP! Young Panther not eating

    Don't expect your cham to act like a "typical cham" for the first few days/weeks/sometimes even months. Moving to a new home is very stressful for them and I would bet that it's the stress of change that is reducing his appetite. So don't be too worried just yet, but definitely keep an eye on...

    Cage size?

    Hey, juust so you know: today you've resurfaced several threads that have been inactive for months. The OPs of these posts have already received the answers they needed and you aren't really adding anything new, so please avoid cluttering up the forum by resurrecting dead threads in the future...

    Need advice for breeding

    A little late for that. OP stated that they already allowed their chameleons to mate. What you really need to prepare for is how you're going to feed the probably dozens of babies. You will need feeders on the order of thousands. If you assume each cham eats ~10 insects a day, you could easily...
