So glad to hear that there’s some improvement. As long as things are headed in a positive direction, it’s good! Little by little his body is recovering. 😊 You’re doing great with him. It is hard to bring humidity down without a dehumidifier. 55% isn’t too terrible. Just continue with his good...

Hi. Just wondering how your little one and you are doing. :)

Chameleons are not known to be the easiest animals to care for. You’re starting with a baby, which makes it even harder. You’re in the right place for help, support and learning, making improvements and doing your best for your little one. Each day and little by little, he should be showing some...

Just a few days left to get your entries in! Hurry hurry! I just haven’t been able to get any new pics, so have dredged up some nice old ones.

‘Nuff said. Now go get him!

Vitamin A can be complicated a bit. There are two forms of it - beta carotene (proformed) which is from vegetable sources and is water soluble. We aren’t sure that chameleons are able to fully utilize this form. The other form is retinol (preformed), which is from animal sources and is fat...

Phew! The D3 is used for just one feeding every other week. Did you buy a combination D3/multivitamin? If not, you will also need a multivitamin which will also be used for one feeding every other week, but not the same feeding as you give the D3. Usually they are alternated every week, so for...

Yay for eating! BUT…. Are you using calcium with D3 at every feeding? If so, stop immediately! He’s gotten overdosed on D3. It’s a fat soluble vitamin, meaning it takes time for the body to excrete it and it can build up to toxic levels. There’s little to no way to undo an overdose, other than...

Ok @jamest0o0 . The forum has decided it. You need to go get that beautiful male veiled without delay. Right now Mary Lou Who could be counting her allowance to see if she has enough to buy him and the original chameleon death kit while she entertains carrying ‘Pascal’ around everywhere just...

Well, I already told you that both of my male veileds have been shy. Neither ever showed any hissing or aggression. I got bit once by Lucky when giving him an abt injection and it accidentally went right thru his poor little arm…I deserved the bite. Lucky will come over when I’m getting the...

Yes! Do it! While I’ve only had two of each gender, I find my males were more shy than anything. It’s my girls who are very spicy. I think we all feel the same about chain pet stores, but my Stella came from a Petco and not only is she gorgeous, but she’s now about 7 1/2 years old. Think about...

Full adult ones just ready to pupate may be, but small to medium ones should be ok. Stealing a graphic from a cricket vendor here, I believe the size your baby needs is about 1/8”, or about 0.3 cm. It’s better to go a bit too small than too big. It’s no problem for your chameleon to need to eat...

Well, you need to get him something to eat now. He can’t wait. Maybe the shop will have some other type tiny feeders. Bean beetles, fruit flies, freshly hatched roaches, small black soldier fly larvae, baby silkworms, etc. Talk to the people at reptile shops, ask the person who you bought him...

I’m so glad that you posted this pic. Those crickets are way too large for him to eat. He needs much much smaller food. His food should be around 2 mm in size…tiny. I’m not sure how your reptile shops are, but here they don’t generally carry such tiny feeders, except for fruit flies. We have to...

I don’t see that Amazon has the Repashy supplement but they do have the ReptiVite with D3...
