Hey folks. Thought I'd share what’s going on with my fella Lucky’s left eye. Maybe someone has a similar experience and can offer up input or what the end result was. Maybe in the future, this can be of help to someone else who may have this issue.
As some of you know, Lucky was living wild...
I realize I forgot to post some pics of my enclosures. (Typical for me 🤪) Perhaps that’s for the best though, as I’ve added one that I think you might benefit from seeing. Let me give you a bit of my history with chameleons though.
I didn’t even really know what a chameleon looked like irl when...
Sweet handsome fella. 💗 He may not like the bamboo as it is quite slick and slippery, especially if it gets wet. Usually we advise against the little bridges and ropes as it can entrap claws and pull them out. However, in Rango’s case I do see that a bridge can be very helpful for him. I would...
Okey doke…I’m back. :)
You’ve already been given the feeder graphic. For his size, I’d try 1/2” feeders. The general rule is to keep feeders smaller than the space between the eyes. For wormy feeders, we go by the diameter of them, but also just kind of instinct about them too. Hornworms can...
I think he should be okay, especially if he didn’t touch any skin where you had put the balm. Of course, as you probably already do, just keep an eye on him.
Hi. Antwan looks good and I love his enclosure. Was there maybe something that spooked him before he stayed in his sleep spot?
One of my boys will come running as soon as he sees me open his door…usually. Often it’s difficult to put his bugs in his feeding station because he’s climbed on my...
If you’re in Florida, I can possibly help you find one. If you’re elsewhere, another member is awesome at helping find vets…just let us know your general vicinity. Usually we have to travel a bit for the good vets experienced with chameleons.
First, let me commend you for recognizing that pet stores may not be as helpful or as knowledgeable as many assume. :)Then, let me reassure you that we have all started at the beginning and we can help you to get your little beauty all set up and meet his needs, so that you are both happy and...
I’m truly sorry if I’ve hurt your feelings and I get no joy from hurting you or anyone else in this world. I do truly have deep respect for you, as I’ve said. I wish I could see the joyful and kind person that you may very well be. This is not what you have shown here in the past from my...
From what I’ve seen with other’s experience, he may have some arthritis which reduces his grip and agility. Adding branches or vines in between what you already have can be a help for him. Some have added safety nets to keep their falling chams safe from injury.
My old girl, also 6, has an...
Yes! Everyone’s favorite noodle! 💗 So glad he’s doing so great. Sorry that you had some issues, but also glad that you’re on the mend. Don’t work too hard. :)
You definitely want to start reducing your cutie’s diet. I like to do things like that gradually. So, if you’ve been giving her say 12 feeders daily, bring her down to 10 daily for a week or so…then 8 and when you get to 6 feeders, go from daily to every other day. She’s still got some growing...
cage type- all screen enclosure. You don’t say what size and it does look too small to me. The minimum standard for an adult veiled or panther is at least 2x2x4’ (XL ReptiBreeze size). I urge/encourage you to upgrade her as soon as you can. A few inches may not seem like much, but here you go...
she’s a veiled female chameleon, & she has been in my care since june 1st.
i’ve asked around on here and they said she’s at least 5-6 months. I think I may have been the one who said that, so I agree. 😂 The spots and dark colors are her big girl patterns. Some girls will show mainly a default...
