Well I'm back from a bit of a break. With finishing up my degrees here, I've been putting thought into what to do next. I still plan to pursue graduate studies, but I need a way to fund things.
I'm uncertain of what my very next step is as I have had to overcome quite a few obstacles just to...
I think this is where I can post this, long story short, both my bioactive enclosure and backup cleanup crew enclosure have large enough established populations that I can start to sell off excess. I also have managed to get some cuttings from a tropical pitcher plant to root. I was not...
Hello everyone.
I took a bit of a hiatus from the forums with my recent loss. Despite wanting to have another chameleon right now, it is not the time as I cannot give the level of care I would deem acceptable for a young chameleon.
This is due to finally being in my last year of my two...
Hey, so while Chandler is doing well he has had some behavioural changes recently. He's eating less, has reduced grip strength and he's hiding a lot more. Once October gets here I'll have owned him for 5 years with an unknown hatch date. I guess I want to know what are the signs that a...
So I've been thinking about my future and seriously considering getting into breeding chameleons in the future. My question is what the approximate cost is for a chameleon from hatching to around 6 months of age. I'm ballparking around $300 minimum. Just would like to know so I can plan out when...
Well I figured it was time to do an update for Chandler, his bioactive setup is doing wonderfully and he's still going strong at 6 years of age. I'm actually curious if he'll live longer than average as then I should take a closer look at my care for him. Also time for a new UV bulb.
Hey cham fam,
I realize I'm not the most frequent of posters but I am posting as I am starting to run out of options. I am posting this in general discussion as I am looking for help of any kind. Due to recent changes in my life, I am looking for someone or a service to temporarily house or...
Well, I think this belongs here, but with the interest shown in the first bioactive build I've done, I'm offering to help others create the same thing. I know the builder of the base enclosure is able to ship across North America and will change the design as requested but it seems the core of...
Well, I just had to post this as I was checking out my bioactive build, I got the best surprise ever! I have baby Dairy Cow Isopods! Everything has established itself for certain now! Sorry for the poor image quality, the little one was zooming!
Alright, I'm turning to the community because I think I know how to deal with it, but I want feedback.
Chandler is shedding again however he has some residual shed on his tail. It isn't causing issue, but I am concerned about it. I'll post pictures and the rest of the info tomorrow, he's...
Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well.
The last two years have honestly been a whirlwind, but in a good way. Also figured it was time for an update as I drop in and out of the forums depending on how busy I am and my mental health.
Anyways, the last two years have been focused on...
So a bit of back story, essentially during Chandler's last shed went a little awry, he was misted too much during it and it resulted in some stuck shed. I've taken him to the vet and they told me due to his age and the nature of the stuck shed it isn't something to be concerned about and should...
Well, my oldest brother's wedding went well, except for getting turfed of the Sea Doo twice by my brother.
Due to inexperience on both of our parts, ended up getting turfed twice, once by a wave, the other by jumping a wake. When we got turfed by the wave, he hit it with the broadside. When we...
So shortly after I discovered how to clean the internal screen on the MistKing nozzles, they started to produce an in line filter. Anyone else use this?
Just need to vent a bit.
I just returned from doing some errands and ran into a fellow chameleon owner. A rare occurrence in my city. Got to talking about chameleons, and asked if they were a part of the forums.
Their response was they thought so, but everyone on there is so rude.
I didn't go...
Just posting this as I was introduced to it in an Anthropology class and while it's important to understand that the developers of the website could be biased themselves, it is interesting to see how some people's perception of certain media outlets reflects their personal views. A great example...
Well in an attempt to start a few weekly threads like Tail Tuesday I came up with one for Sunday. Granted the theme is a bit difficult but I want to exhibit how relaxed chameleons can be. I present this:
Chandler is similar to me in that he has never really been angry or angsty.
Also I have...
While not directly related to chams, what lead me to this choice startled with chameleons, humans and evolution. I've always wondered how the chameleon, something that is quite unique in some regards to the realm of reptiles, evolved similar to how humans evolved from apes.
While the two...
In the spirit of Tail Tuesdays, I counter with Fired Up Fridays. While Chandler rarely fires up, this is the best example I have. Also I believe this is the only time he's actually fired up, he rarely acts out to be honest. It's rather odd being able to reach into his cage and tickle his belly...
