I’m very sorry about your brother and condolences to you and your family. I have thought about you and wondered how you were doing. Will keep an eye out for you.

Just icky guts. I do want to give a word of advice/caution about putting hornworms on a branch and other things. They have very sticky feet and a very strong grip. If they have a good grip on something, your chameleon’s tongue might not be strong enough to pull it off and in return, its tongue...

Nope. Nothing I can think of at the moment that I hadn’t already put in my blog, other than keep us posted. We’re always here to help, share and celebrate. :)

Gorgeous! I love these guys! 🥰

As @GrannyK has said, that is a lot of eggs and puts excess strain on her little body and its resources. Now that she’s lain her first clutch, you want to feed and hydrate her well for a couple of days. Hornworms and silkworms are great for after laying. Then you want to start her on her new...

He’s grown into a very big handsome hunk! 💗

I much prefer the more positive reasons for slow downs…that more people are learning on their own and providing great care to their chameleons. I don’t have a problem repeating the same info over and over, as long as it’s to different people. When every now and then someone comes along who just...

She’s beautiful! Has she been restless? Frequently roaming all thru her enclosure, up and down and all around? They usually do that when receptive - all dressed up and looking for a mate. If you haven’t yet seen my blog, here it is...

That is a sweet boy. His colors should be coming in soon and he’ll be bright and beautiful. :)

Squeee! 🤗 He’s adorable! Don’t you dare give up on waiting for this cutie patootie!

I’m not a big fan or hornworms, but my lizards are so what can I do. 🤷‍♀️ I currently have some hawk moths that just emerged that I’m waiting on to make some eggs (provided they aren’t all the same gender). It’s nice to have tiny enough gummy worms to give my leopard geckos some.

That is odd. It wasn’t until I hand fed some yummy green gummy worms (aka hornworms) to my wild caught guy that he finally decided that I’m kind of ok to trust a little. Now he comes running for his worms.

I have no idea what demon has been unleashed. I do know that there are some who frown upon intentionally mixing the locales. If you are getting a mixed locale chameleon for a pet only, I don’t see any problem with that. If you are having any plans of breeding one though, I advise getting a pure...

I was thinking about nitrile or vinyl gloves. With feeding hornworms, you probably should be wearing full PPE anyhow…protect against the squirt. 😂

Beautiful little man, even in passing. I’ve loved hearing about his adventures and his big personality, not to mention seeing that sweet face. I had forgotten all he went thru before you got him, but the amazing life you gave him more than made up for it. Rest now, sweet prince and bask in...

No, I don’t think you forced him to do anything. He was simply taking advantage of the strange fleshy branches that were there. About the itching burning rash after the hornworm - sounds like you may be allergic to them or possibly something in their food or poo (they walk on their food and...

Phew! In that case, it’s an adorable video. 🤗

I totally agree with @jamest0o0 about the pet store crickets…I don’t trust them. Many of the in line feeder vendors sell variety or combo packs, which are perfect for those who may have just one or two insectivores. They not only are getting a better quality of feeder bugs, but enough variety to...

Yup! He’s a boy then. I just don’t see the usual colors and patterns. Usually by about 3-4 months old they are visible. He was super tiny when you got him, so maybe he’s still a bit too young for his colors to come in. How much are you currently feeding him?

I have no experience with dubia (they’re illegal in Florida) but I do know discoids are very similar and have heard that they are more active than dubia. I think for some chameleons, roaches are an acquired taste. Most will mix a roach in with the regular feeders and go from there. Size of the...
