    Strange stuffies

    I think my favorites are the blob fish, the tardigrade and shoebill stork. But I still wish I could have one of each of them all.

    Veiled Chameleon seems very weak and usually rests a lot.

    Hi. Niko is definitely a she and not looking good at all. First, make an appointment with a good vet who has experience with chameleons is preferred). Attaching the list of those who some of us have gone to. Next and asap, you need to make a lay bin and put it in her enclosure. A plastic bin of...

    The chameleon https://www.gagebeasleyshop.com/products/green-chameleon is just weird looking, but the others are cute. I’d like one of each. 😊 https://www.gagebeasleyshop.com/

    2026 Chameleon Calendar

    I always buy more than one so I can give one to my exotics vet(s) as a holiday gift. Some years I’ve ended up with an extra, but it worked out much later when someone needed a previous year’s. :)

    How may bugs should I feed my chameleon

    I like to feed smaller bugs, but as long as they are smaller than the space between his eyes, size is fine. When my guy was little, I was giving him the equivalent of 15ish 1/2” crickets daily.

    Lucky’s eye

    Thanks so much for sharing Dude’s story. 💗 The suspects in Lucky’s case is the same - abscess or tumor. Surgery is required to determine which and possibly remove. Since he has almost no vision in that eye, I think it’s more than an abscess. One of the things I learned when I lost 3 of my chams...

    This is where breeding your own bugs is a huge help in keeping costs down. However, unless you have solar or other alternate energy, the electric bill for all the lights is no joke.

    Should my chameleons heat lamp be on all day?

    Some choose to keep the basking/heat light on for just the first half of the day and some opt for the entirety. I go by what my chameleons are doing, which is basking at different times so it’s the full 12 hours for them. Depending on which species of chameleon you have, it’s age and what...

    Difficult Shed and staying in one spot

    Yes, you want to give each one twice a month. Which multivitamin are you using? If it is a Repashy, it should already have preformed vitamin A and no extra is needed (and can be detrimental).

    Difficult Shed and staying in one spot

    Hi. From the pics, I can’t be absolutely certain that it isn’t a burn. Are you able to get a top view, looking down upon it? I just want to have 100% certainty. Chams do shed differently when they get older. When babies and young, they go ‘poof’ over their entire body at once and it’s quick. As...

    Health & husbandry

    Usually 5-6” is a decent depth. I used to make my lay bins much deeper than that, until the day one of my girl had her tunnel collapse on her and I had to save her. (Totally my own fault) Keeping it around 6” or so helps not only so they can possibly dig themselves out if needed, but they do dig...

    Here’s a couple of mine…panthers. My sweet little girl Kali when I first got her. *she’s a nosy be girlie. This was when I realized that she is my petite purple princess. But even now I never know exactly what color she will be. Maybe more of a pink? Sometimes more of a muddy color to blend...

    It looks like your pretty Milagro is getting her big girl patterns. :) Do you have a lay bin set up yet for her?
