Hello,
My female Veiled (2 years old) had to be taken into the vet for a wound that got infected. Not really sure how she got injured, but the doc said it looked like a burn because the surrounding area is slightly necrotic and black.
With that being said, this veiled has been outdoor kept...
Hello,
My female Xantholophus finally gave birth. Looks like it was from retained sperm. 7 in total, 2 have passed.
Going to separate into they’re own enclosures in a couple days. They’re all in a tub together currently. Going to leave them be for now.
Thanks
Hello
My male is closing his right eye. His face is currently is shedding so I am expecting that to be the cause, but I just wanna make sure.
It does not look like there is any debris caught anywhere.
Husbandry:
Outdoor kept on 2x2x4
No D3 supps, calcium twice a week, Multivitamin once a...
Hello,
I have a pair of Xanth’s, and I keep them outdoors pretty much all year round. Since the days are about to be longer, I am now choosing to introduce my male to my female.
What is the best way to approach this? I am thinking of putting him into her cage, since she is so skiddish. I hear...
Noticed my male gaping quite a bit this morning. Outside temps aren’t hot. I’m assuming it’s a respiratory infection. I will bring him into the vet asap.
Please let me know if it could be anything else.
Husbandry:
Kept outside in a 2x2x4, he drinks from drippers during the day, mistking at...
Hello,
I found an awesome documentary that was recently uploaded all about chameleons of Madagascar.
There is amazing up close footage of many species.
Thanks
Hello,
My male Jackson had an extreme cloacal prolapse yesterday, so I rushed him to the vet. I unfortunately do not have photos of the prolapse, but it was quite bad compared to other photos I have seen on the forums.
How can this be prevented in the future? Is it a feeder issue? Hydration...
Hello,
I recently got the mountain dragons book, and there are some crazy chameleons in here. The book goes over the locations the author visited and the chameleons found there.
I definitely recommend it if you want to see some cool chameleon variety.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a buddy with a male Jackson Xantholophus. He’s owned him for about a year now and was told he is 3ish years old, and he has been shedding for a very long time (talking weeks here). He has also recently started to close his eyes during the day. No sunken eyes. He does eat during...
Hello,
Decided to share a photo of my male. He’s got quite the set of horns in my opinion. His tail was VERY blue this day.
My female isn’t as photogenic yet. Hasn’t gotten her greens, but has nice blue cheeks.
Thanks!!
Hello,
My female Jackson has recently been climbing on the ceiling of the enclosure after lights out. Not really concerned, just more confused. She has done it three times this week, and other times she sleeps on her usual branch.
She could be trying to get closer to the fogging hose, but I...
Hello,
First off, my male Jackson’s chameleon’s gular edema has gone down significantly since I have gotten him. I did not supplement for the first week, and gradually got him on the normal Jackson’s sup schedule, calcium no d3 twice a week, and a repashy lo-d once a month. This shows what...
Hello,
As an owner who is expecting Jackson’s babies in a few months, I’m preparing in every single way possible. I have read time and time again that babies can drown from a single droplet of water on their nose.
I am going to be keeping them in individual 16 quart tubs positioned...
Hello,
I’ve been gathering information about the best uvb for baby Jackson’s, and I am mostly seeing a T8 5.0 being used and recommended.
What age would they be to handle the T5 5.0 or even 10.0 with more distance between the light and enclosure? I would assume 4-6 months, but want to be sure...
