Hi and welcome! I think a spot on his knee also has a burn. :( He most definitely will need to be seen and treated for those burns by a vet. He will need silver sulfadiazine cream and possibly even an antibiotic since the burns are so widespread. I’d like if you could post some pics of his...

He may just need some time to feel confident and safe in the outside enclosure. No idea what their memory is like and he may not recognize it from last year.

Hi and welcome! He’s a cutie! I love pied. 🥰 Regarding the eye, I would check in with a vet who has experience with chameleons. While it may be just something he was born with, it could also be a problem. Does he seem to be able to see well or at all out of that eye? If you move your hand...

Sweet potatoes are the only thing I cook for the bugs. I read somewhere that it needs to be cooked for some reason 8 can’t recall.

Make sure there’s plenty of air flow. Here’s my two totes. I reused the vents that Josh’s Frogs had on the shipping boxes for my crickets and hot glued screen too. In between ‘cleaning’ them, I will sometimes leave the lids half off. This is the inside - you’d never tell that this was...

I’m so very sorry. 😢 RIP to your sweet friend.

Some questions about your uvb…what brand bulb have you been using? How old is/was the bulb? Is your uv next to your basking bulb? If so, what have your basking temps been? The only brands uvb that I would trust are Arcadia and ReptiSun. While I’ve only tested one other cheaper brand, the result...

Temp. I even tried a room ac to supplement the central ac, but it didn’t work out.

2 minutes is a lot for night. I would do 1 minute or less. What are your night temps? I’m on the space coast and can’t get below 73-74 without an electric bill that would bankrupt me.

Some vets do advise 10.0 (Arcadia 12%) uvb, but we want to stay with the 5.0 or 6%. Make sure there is a distance of 8-9” between basking lights and basking branch. That does look like a burn, but I can’t be 100% certain.

I’m not able to achieve low enough night temps for fogging, so I do run a couple of 15 second mistings during the night for a subtle boost of humidity. In addition to my 2 minute mistings before lights on and off, I have a 1 minute misting in the afternoon. All my chameleons’ urates are nice and...

First, what kind of crickets do you have? Domestic crickets are the ones usually sold by pet stores and not only do they stink far worse, but they also die off quicker. Banded crickets are most definitely much much better and are available by most on line bug vendors. It’s also important to...

Parasites are not able to be seen in poos without a microscope, which I believe identifies their eggs. There are several different types and no one medication treats all. This is why a fresh fecal is needed - identify which parasite to determine which med is the correct one. Parasites can cause...
