    Lucky’s eye

    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...

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    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...

    UVB-Baskin’ Rango

    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...

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    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...

    health question- worried owner!

    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.

    Help me! New chamleon owner!

    I’m currently away from home and unable to give much of a reply. When I get back home, if no one else adds their help, I’ll be back to you with more.

    Three things about Antwan that worry me…

    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...

    Help me

    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.

    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...

    My 6yo chameleon now vs when I just got him

    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...

    It’s been a minute

    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. :)

    spots and dark colors

    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...

    Chameleon maps

    I’m sure there’s a known reason for it (maybe?), but I’ve wondered what it is in each area that has caused specific colorations.

    spots and dark colors

    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...

    spots and dark colors

    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...
