    New chameleon

    Definitely do not give any slugs at all or snails. These carry parasites and can make your girl quite sick. Are you giving her a plain calcium supplement? Were you able to figure out how to get D3 or some multivitamin for her? With enough unfiltered sunlight, she probably won’t need additional...

    Chameleon Gagging

    I’m in central Fl (Brevard) and it can be a challenge o keep temps and humidity in check. In addition to the house’s central ac, I have a room ac unit as well as a separate dehumidifier. The electric bill can get insane, but usually it’s just in the summer that I have to run all the extras.

    Looking for chameleons in south east Florida

    I’m up in Brevard county and was given a male veiled who was found crossing a road. He came with parasites (giardia) and I wasn’t sure he’d survive. I love him, but almost every day my heart breaks for him for losing his freedom. His nose has scars from being rubbed raw, trying to find an escape...

    Let’s see your scariest!

    This morning when I went to look at my sweeties, I had a ‘jump-scare’ as soon as I saw Stella. She was right up in the front with her frightening shedding face right there! Eek! :eek: She obliged and let me take some truly terrifying pics. How I love my crazy girl. 💗 So, let’s all share some...

    Veiled Chameleon restless behavior/screenclimbing towards UVB strip

    I just use fabric shower curtain with a blue sky print. I use thin wires to attach the preexisting holes of the curtain to the top of the enclosure.

    Is it just me or does her leg look swollen

    Ooh! Spicy beauty today! 🥰 I can’t tell you anything other than my girls’ weights used to go up and down, lumpiness came and went and I could only guess that they formed and then absorbed eggs. If anyone has an answer about Nachito, it would be @kinyonga

    Plants and sticks

    Every now and then I see an adorable plant that I just have to get that is safe…and then I proceed to murder it. 😟 I’m more adventurous with my panther’s plants and tend to stick to veiled tested pothos, tradescantia and philodendron for my veileds. For both I like schefflera as a center plant...

    Plants and sticks

    I get most of my plants from Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart. Usually the house plants like pothos and others are inside the store at Lowe’s and Home Depot. Walmart often has a nice selection of house plants at good prices. The few times I’ve bought plants on line, they were healthy and all, but...

    We’re adopting a leopard gecko!

    Leopard geckos are worse than potato chips for me…I couldn’t stop at just one. 😄 I found all of mine off of Craig’s List and 3 out of 4 were more like rescues from bad care. The 1 which had good care hasn’t been handled and I was told he bites. He only got me once and it was more of a food...

    Scratching eyes and feet. Why?

    He’s a cutie! It looks like he’s able to get too close to the lights. If your uvb is sitting directly on top of the screen, that could irritate his eyes. I don’t see anything unusual about on/about him to explain why he’s scratching, like stuck shed. My alarm bell went off when you said he was...

    Chameleon Gagging

    Hi. Usually the biggest risk factors for respiratory infections is a combination of high humidity with high heat. What has your humidity been during the day? What are your temps at night and humidity? How are you hydrating him? Are you using a fogger/humidifier and if so, when and for how long?

    Veiled Chameleon restless behavior/screenclimbing towards UVB strip

    I’ll find my males all over the place as they are doing their routine patrols. They’ll be on the bottom, checking everything and then when I look again they’re back up top or walking the screen. Right now all are a bit more active than their usual and I think it’s probably nature telling them...

    We’re adopting a leopard gecko!

    Aww…very handsome little guy! 🥰 Beautiful little face and I am a sucker for the wild type markings. The name Oscar is cute, but you’ll have to see if it suits him. Little cutie would be excited too if he knew what a wonderful life he has ahead of him with you and your family. 💗

    We’re adopting a leopard gecko!

    Yay! Congrats! I love my sweet little leopard geckos. 🥰 I honestly haven’t had much concern about my chameleons seeing them. I have the gecko enclosures on the bottom shelf and chameleon enclosure above on the top. With multiples of both though, they probably can see across the room. However...

    No shed yet??

    The only medical use that I’m aware of for barium is for radiographic studies…like to view the digestive tract in X rays. Maybe something got lost in explanation. 🤷‍♀️ Dragon Strand is a great enclosure with good ventilation. Yeah…grapevine tends to mold with moisture and high humidity. The...
