Ants have been an annoyance for me ever since I switched to outside enclosures. They especially love the hibiscus plants, and seem to leave the chameleon alone. We're talking about the small black "sugar ants," not red or fire ants, thankfully. Searching the forums, the only idea I could find...

:D Also it turns out what I thought was a nasal discharge was actually some built up shed skin. He started shedding yesterday and the piece is starting to come off on its own; it's only hanging on by a thread of shed skin. This was the best possible outcome, because it might have been a growth...

I took Larry the veiled in to see Dr. Strauss of Weston Road Animal hospital today. While the vet complimented me on my husbandry and said that Larry was perfect weight (200g) and in general good health, his stool tested positive for coccidia and pinworms, and also there was a yellowish...

I love this guy :). Jim of The Chameleon Company sent me this handsome pink. His background bars, which you can sort of see in the pic, change from light grey to dark aqua green/black when fired up. He's my first f. pardalis, but definetly not my last.

My brain isn't working right now for some reason. What major store would sell droppers?

It's rare a video game gets me this pumped, but after playing the demo to this game and later purchasing the PC version, it has exceeded my greatest expectations. There's alot of buzz about it being candidate for game of the year. There's just too many things they did right with this game, and...

Snapped a couple shots of my newest chameleon! Pics don't do him justice. He ate his second cricket today, and I put him in his new home yesterday. Very shy eater, but an eager drinker. He's lapping at the leaves usually seconds after I mist. Need to get him a dripper is all. They were out at...

Hey guys, just brought home a beautiful wc Fischer's chameleon and for feeding I mounted a deli container to his enclosure as I did for my veiled, except my fischer's is ignoring the cup, though he obviously notices moving objects he seems weary of it. How long should I give him before...

Hey guys, I've been using fresh bottled spring water for my chameleon, but my house has a Reverse Osmosis filter for drinking water (best filter I've used). Is this fine to use for the chameleon? It will have no minerals, and is basically pure rain water, so initially I was going to use this but...

Hey guys, I live in Miami, and was wondering for the South Floridians out there what vet they use/would recommend? Btw my cham isn't sick or anything, I'd just like to know. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, if anyone has suggestions for online retailers (or local, I live in Miami). Will need one that fits 24" bulb, and what I'm really looking for is a dual hood fixture. Thanks in advance. Places i've checked: petco, lllreptile.

Hey guys, was looking around town for fake ficus trees. After checking Home Depot and WalMart and failing, I decided to check Michael's since I was only vaguely familiar with the store and remembered lots of fake plants. Turns out Michael's is fake plant meca, at least around here. 4ft fake...

Hey guys, my male veiled chameleon has started shedding on his casque and along his body a bit. Was wondering what is generally recommended during this period...should I keep misting the same or increase duration of sessions? Also wanted to see if that VitaSpray/Reptimist, etc was actually...

Hey guys, a couple days ago as I was starting to run low on crix they stopped making noise! They seemed healthy, were eating the gutload, so i figured it was due to low numbers or something, but today after adding 50-100 crickets i'm not hearing and chirping at all. Is this a bad sign or am i...

hey guys, I keep my male veiled outside in hot south florida, and i just wanted to see if perhaps i should bring my cham in at night for a bigger night temp drop. I'm worried his metabolism may not be getting a chance to properly slow down at night, since i've read 60-70F is ideal for veileds as...

Hey guys, I get these in my garden all the time in cycles. Pretty soon the fresh nymphs will be available. Though I wouldn't use the ones from my garden out of paranoia and risk of pesticides, I was just curious if these can be eaten by chameleons? nymph adult

Here's my first cham. enclosure and free roam plant addtl pics How's he looking to all you veteran cham owners? :) My main concern is he gets enough sunlight as well as shade when he wants to, since I have him outdoors in sunny Florida. Up to 90F during the day and...
