    Rios first day outside

    Wonderful! 💗 I did look up morning glory and it is toxic to cats, dogs and horses. Of course nothing ever lists reptile toxicity. It is said to contain lysergic acids and can cause a problem if a lot is eaten. Considering the size differences between those animals listed and a chameleon, all...

    The camera shy

    It’s often a challenge to get pics of my chams. Mango runs on to my hand before I can even focus, Bart usually is hiding behind a big leaf up high (or also running over to my hand), Kali does what she can to deny any decent pics and Lucky only shows his ‘bad’ side with his wonky eye. Only Stella...

    Tongue issue and edema

    Perfect! You don’t need the calcium with D3 for your chameleon. If using it for your beardie, use caution. For as common as bearded dragons are, I’ve always struggled to find the correct supplementation regimen. Seems everyone says something completely different. I’ve finally settled on the same...

    It’s always a tough dilemma at pet stores. I’ve bought two reptiles from Petco (weak moments) and have no regrets. My veiled girl Stella is just around 7 years old now. My crazy bearded dragon Spike is about 5. I’m sure the leopard geckos and other beardie I got off Craigslist probably came from...

    Tongue issue and edema

    You’ve got the right calcium. You want to use a calcium without D3 at every feeding except when using the Repashy LoD every other week. Vitamin D3 is fat soluble, so is not quickly excreted and can build up to toxic levels if over done. The Repashy LoD is a combination D3 and multivitamin and is...

    Awesome! :) Just wanted to make sure you don’t have the same heartache that some others have had.

    I think he looks just right. I look at the casque and cheeks. They are nice and fleshed out but not bulging.

    Trioceros Quadricornis & montium now legal?

    ~sigh~ I need a much much bigger house and much much higher income with less actual time working for it. While I’m dreaming, I might as well add a staff person to help out with the care of all my chameleons. 😄 ☺️

    Hi and welcome! :) I love that you’re doing your research and planning your set up before getting your chameleon. I also love that you’ll be giving him extra width. 💗 I would say to just look around the forum, ask whatever questions you may have and check out some of the many enclosure...

    Tongue issue and edema

    Cage Info: Cage Type - 2'x2'x4' mesh cage on top of a glass tank base with bioactive set-up. Nice. I just wish it was a bit higher off the floor. For chameleons, height = safety. Lighting - Arcadia 12% on cage with basking spot 9" below it. Arcadia is a great brand, but you have double the...

    My feedback will be bold. Your Chameleon - Male Panther Chameleon, 14 months old. I've had him for 10 months. Handling - Never, working to get him comfortable. He will put his legs on my hand if approached slowly. Here’s a great blog on building and maintaining trust, which is important...
