My Mellers doesnt seem to want to bask as often as other chameleons I have owned. Is it normal for them to go sit in the darkest part of their free range for a lot of the day? Trying to think of ways to get him to roam more.

Hi all, We recently adopted a Melleri Chameleon. We were having a custom cage built, but the builder (a relative) had an accident and wont be able to finish it until around March. I want to get a 260 gallon Apogee Reptarium and place it on its side so it will be six foot long and about 2.6...

Found some ficus for around $9 so bought a few. Put them on the counter behind my couch after washing and repotting. He seems to really like it for the few hours a day I put him in it. He loves his cage, but always comes to the door wanting out when I get home. He keeps his mellow colors on...

He really does not seem to like the sun. HE scurries to the bottom of his carry tote, goes flat on his side on the bottom of the tote(like laying on the floor), does the karate pose and sits there and hisss... hisss hisssssssssss. Like it is burning him. Sometimes he turns a orangish color too...

Hey all, Was wondering about injecting Reptaid into a grape. I don't see why it shouldnt work. I tried it, and the liquid stays in, and Norman ate it. Is there any other reason this wouldn't be a good idea?

How soon should these things be hatching? I have had 2 egg cases since last thursday, and neither one has hatched. One is in a bush outdoors, and one is in my Chameleon cage. I am afraid I got some duds =/

Is this always necessary? No matter what I do, it is never completely dry between mistings. I'd have to wait at least a day between mistings for this to happen. I have a dripper going and the enclosure never fully dries out (Especially the floor!) I do have paper towel to soak up some of...

IT's may and hes starting another shed. I think he is either 4-5 months now, maybe 6. I just took some pictures after his bath. How is he looking? Its hard for me to tell when I look at him every day. He is beautiful to me :)

Are orange pieces and Hornworms a source of hydration/water for a chameleon? The reason I ask, is since I have started feeding him these two items, he has been drinking less from the dripper. thanks,

If you do not get the reference, it's ok. :D

I found a Ficus. It is exactly 4 foot tall, same heigh as my cage. (see pictures) After I repot it, I need to trim it. How much can I safely trim off the top and not kill the Ficus, and what method should I use? Thank you in advance.

I need help identifying these roaches. they can climb plastic if forced to. I found them in with my cricket bin this morning. At first, I thought 2 of my lobster roaches got out and decided to play with the crickets. Well, they are still all accounted for. They are in a sealed container, inside...

Schefflera Aboricola, Golden Schefflera, was bright green and yellows 1 week ago. I S U C K In better news, the Gardenia I had in there for a month is recovering. I moved it further away from the light even. Notice how bright green my fake leafy vines are. This was right after...

And promptly started doing searches on them. All the sudden I am having buyers remorse. I read that they are stinky, escape easily and will infest my apartment. hmmmmm.. I wasn't going to start a colony yet, but wanted to ask questions for when Norman stops eating like a pig every morning. At...

He turned a weird shade of pea soup green with dark blue spots. He wouldn't eat it.

Question: How do you keep a Gardenia alive in a Chameleon environment? I don't know if it is too much water, or what, but the lower leaves are turning yellow, dying and falling off. I had one flower bloom, but the rest of the buds keep falling off before blooming. IT gets plenty of light...

Hi all, Ive been going over the forums last night and today to find out if it is a good idea to have my ultrasonic humidifier on all day or not. There is a lot of conflicting information and I don't want Norman to get URI. So many interpretations. Some leave humidifiers on, some do not...

Quick question: When feeding a chameleon Kale, is it ok for them to go nuts and rip into it like this, or should it be fed another way? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpY1PbChTEw It was hanging in there for Crickets, but if he likes it, more power to him! (and yes I know I posted in my...

Why are there so few plants in the database? Not complaining or being critical, just wondering:)

Hi All, I have been caring for a Male veiled named Norman since early January. He was about 6 weeks old when I got him. Over the weekend I had an opportunity to get him a new home. I hesitated getting this until he got big enough, but I got such a good deal on the cage that I went ahead...
