Hi all! My male Balerion has been having some diarrhea the past few weeks. Back in October I had a fecal done and it was negative for any parasites. He had a nice solid poop last week but just yesterday he had a runny diarrhea mess (which followed a nice urate and solid poop). I recently fed...

Hello all, My chameleon has struggled with gular edema for a few months now. I am not entirely sure why or what caused it, but I was told that it could be related to vitamins. I was also told it could be related to hydration. Additionally, his eyes look a little less perky and the borders of...

So this video that I saw on my YouTube recommended is showing a vet instructing people on how they should soak their chameleon for hydration and to aid them in shedding...WHAT? Who told you this was okay? I cannot stand when vets apply their knowledge of bearded dragon care to all reptiles. Not...

Hi all! I believe my male panther of 11 months may have a very mild URI. I have heard him cough once or twice over the past two weeks, and when he is out on my hand with me, I'll hear a very quiet pop sound once every 30 or so seconds. I'm not really sure how it could have been caused, because...

Hey all! I was just wondering if all pothos plants are considered safe? I’d love to add some Manjula, njoy, Baltic blue, and other varieties to spice up my chams enclosures! Also wondering if rhaphidophora tetrasperma or rhaphidophora decursiva are safe as well? Thanks!

Hey people! So I thought everything with my enclosures was all set, but then someone said something about their own lighting and it got me to reconsider. I want to double check the UVB is placed accurately. I have two chams with two different enclosures. We’ll start with my female panther...

Hey everyone! I don't know about you all, but for the longest time I had the WORST luck with my plants and soil. I originally started using Miracle gro's organic in ground soil, but quickly noticed that the soil in my enclosure's plants was becoming foul, stunk like a swamp, and almost...

Hi everyone! So in my cham room is also where I keep my plants, as chameleon keeping has turned me into a hardcore botanist and I am collecting far too many plants to keep up with. Across from my chams I have a shelf and wanted to get a grow light to put on it, but I’m wondering if that would...

Can someone tell me if soilmoist (see pics) is safe to use to hydrate my crickets? I posted about this in a Facebook chameleon group and nobody seemed to know that you could use water crystals for hydration. I know lots of people use the miracle gro ones but these are all I could find. Thanks...

Hi everyone! Super quick question – I just received an order of blue bottle fly spikes from rainbow mealworms and in the bag that they come in there is not a lot of bedding. I’m just wondering what I should get for them when I transfer them into a deli cup? The same question also applies to...

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve all been well! So my happy and healthy 7 month old female ambilobe panther has been pretty picky with her food. Ever since I gave her one superworm, she wants nothing to do with her crickets and doesn’t bat an eye at dubia roaches. She only wants superworms all day...

Hey all! Hope everyone is well. I recently got some blue bottle fly larvae from mantis place (such a great site!) and they all hatched into flies. My cham loves them but I’m having some difficulty figuring out how to properly house them and what to feed them. I’ve looked online and have found...

Hey everyone! I have been working on my enclosure for the past few weeks and wanted to get some opinions and questions answered. I’ll attach some pics and include information below :) Chameleon: 5 month old ambilobe panther female (no big girl colors as of yet) Enclosure size: 18x18x36 (I...

Hey everyone! I'm looking to add some (safe) and natural color to my enclosure - and what better of a way to do so than with flowers! Well...I guess that's pretty much the only natural safe way one could add color, but I digress. I'm looking for either suggestions or recommendations or both for...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. I have a couple botany questions I wanted to ask the pros here. After butchering the majority of my pothos and nursing some clippings back to health and getting a couple new plants, I can say that I am doing OK with the plant care side of chameleon...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all staying safe in this winter storm that’s ripping through the east coast! I noticed today that there was some gross white crust that almost looks like sandpaper or coral on the soil of my plants. It doesn’t look like mold that I’m used to but who knows, it could be...

So as I was preparing to get my little guy I tested the misting system a lot…and for some reason I didn’t think to take my two pothos out…and they didn’t appreciate the water, I was advised by a friend who raises and sells plants that yes I did overwater them and to sprinkle cinnamon on the soil...

So I’m in the final stages of getting things ready for my little guy and the snow has finally melted away enough for me to go stick hunting. I found a bunch of great ones and am now at the sanitation part, I watched some videos and read some posts but can’t get a good grasp at if bleach is safe...

Hi again! Just a quick question - do I bought an 8” Zilla reflector dome back when I was planning on getting a larger enclosure for a larger species. I have since decided to get a smaller species and rather than getting the 2x2x4 cage I got the 18x18x36 cage. Because of this the 8” dome is too...

So before I shell out $150 on a mistking I wanted to see if there was a more economical alternative available and came across this one on amazon. It did have one single 5 star review, but I actually don't see it on there anymore. Comes with the pump, tubing, and some nozzles. It almost looks too...
