Excited to roll out my new setup and new home office mates. Panther is 3.5 month from Chromatic Chameleon's JJ x Pink Floyd clutch. Veiled is also 3.5 month from FLChams Driskel line. Dragon Strand tall hybrid enclosures. Inspiration from Bill Strand and Gingero.

Two babies need some naming, a veiled (sire Driskel at FLChams) and a panther (J.J. x Pink Floyd) from Chromatic Chameleons. Please help.

I am finishing up a couple new enclosures and began looking for occupants. Noticed a listing for veiled sire with an available clutch, poked around a bit and found photos on the interweb of same chameleon dated 2013, appeared to be adult/sub-adult at that time. Made me suspicious. Thoughts?

MadEye is about 6 years old. Good healthy life until recently. About 6 months ago his vision went and tongue stopped shooting and have been hand feeding. He still eats well, has good color and a firm grip. What has me concerned is over the last few days has developed bulges on top of the head...

Up front - this is not much about chameleons, more of a story (a.k.a. rant) related personal experience about how I now view pet stores and decide which ones to give my business: About 6 months ago my daughter decided she wanted to volunteer at a local pet shelter. Figuring this was one of...

My next door neighbor's kid returned from college then moved on leaving him with a 7 year old ball python. 4 foot long female. He is trying to give it away and my daughter wants it...which means dad is gonna have to take care of it. Have done some research and it appears these are fairly easy...

I have been somewhat proud of my ability to avoid temptation and get more than one cham but the stars may have aligned. My wife is, for the most part, not a fan of critters. Over the years my daughter and I have talked her into allowing a cham, 2 cats and a hamster. Most comments about...

Current Problem - Not sure if this is a problem, looking more for reassurance or early diagnosis if there is a concern - please let me know: MadEye has recently been going to the floor of the enclosure during the evening and appears to be drinking drops of water that fall off the plants. I'm...

After 3 months of tinkering and scouring this site for valuable advice Mad Eye's enclosure is complete for now (I think & hope). Any advice related to chameleon health on things I might be missing or could improve upon would be appreciated. Features summarized as follows and in the photos...

My UVB hood crapped out this morning which is fine because I wanted to explore options of combining the UVB with a 6500K CFL. I've read many of the posts with dual tube system and have not had much luck finding a 30 inch (for 24 inch T8 bulbs) dual tube with plug (not live wire). Anyway -...

Can chams get sufficient moisture from other sources besides drinking? Moisture content in food or respiration during misting when humidity is high? I've had my cham for about a month (3.5 month old panther) and have never seen him drink but his turds look fine and a check-up with a vet...

Playing around with an infrared thermal imaging camera. Photos are taken looking down into the enclosure. First pic is Mad Eye (3 month old panther) on his basking vine (kind of perpendicular to the vine). The second pic is more of a close up of him climbing his vine under the basking lamp...

Noticed one dropping where the urate was orange. Searched this forum and found one comment that carrot gut load might be a cause (other than dehydration). I'd been using carrots the previous couple days - switched to greens and now the urate is white again. Just want to make sure that this...

I plan on installing something on the back of my enclosure to prevent mist from hitting the wall and enclosing 3 sides during the winter to help moderate temp. and RH. I was shopping for poster board for my kid's science fair and realized the non-porous type that is used for dry erase markers...

The cham I've been preparing for finally arrived! Named Allastor "Mad Eye" Moody (when you have a 9 year old all pets get named after Harry Potter characters). Thanks to all the experienced cham keepers who post on this - you've been a great help. He's between 2.5 and 3 months and I...

I've been planning for about a month. Trying to edumacate myself lurking on this site and talking to a breeder that has been too generous with her time. This has made me realize that there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise out there and I have a lot to learn. Planning on having a 3...
