    ‘Spoiling’ my sweet old lady

    I’ve looked for poops few times today and she’s either deposited it where I can’t see, her isopods made quick work of it or she didn’t go today. I’ll look again tomorrow for you. :)

    Namaqua chameleon..feeding habits…

    No idea why, but I just love these little guys. They certainly are quite different than the arboreal chameleons. Thanks for sharing Lynda. 💗

    Taming…?

    Another vote for @Beman blog. 🥰 The main thing is to go at their pace and preference. I have 5 beauties - 3 panthers and 2 veileds. Each has their own personality and preference/tolerance for me. I do my best not to force them past their limits, unless I have to, which is usually to check if I...

    Jumping back in!

    Yay! You’re on your way! I don’t even know what a float valve is, but I’m super happy and excited for you and to see what you do. @SteveH always has some beautiful and more unusual species with flappy flaps and sail fins.

    First successful free range bioactive egg laying

    Wow! Sweet Bella is still working hard at the egg factory. At least she might be slowing down a little bit, I hope and pray. I was just wondering how your little beauty is doing, so your post is perfect timing. 🤗 As always, give her a yummy treat for me. 💗

    ‘Spoiling’ my sweet old lady

    Only strange for people who haven’t ever been on the forum. 😂 I’ve never thought to look. She’s in a bioactive enclosure, so her clean up crew takes care of the poops. Plus, her regular poo spot is half behind her lay bin, so it’s a bit hidden. I’ll try to see what I can see today though.

    I have trouble finding a new home for my boy and in need of advice

    Wow. I can’t add much more that hasn’t already been said, other than I too wish you the best and I do hope you’ll take good care of and love yourself.

    ‘Spoiling’ my sweet old lady

    Absolutely as an occasional treat. Just make sure it is clean and free of any pesticides or fertilizers. I have hibiscus in pots that I cleaned when I bought them as long as a couple of years ago. Stella has one inside her enclosure, but it doesn’t do very well. I have a super strong plant light...

    A wise older vet gave me insight

    I’m sorry, but I’m having a hard time getting past this. I understand the theory/process, but do I understand correctly that you did this to Hunter’s hemipenes prolapse? Why? I must have missed this post…why didn’t you take him to the vet and have the protrusion/prolapse tucked back in and...

    ‘Spoiling’ my sweet old lady

    Stella doesn’t allow the hibiscus plant in her enclosure to grow blooms, so I have to steal them from an outside plant to give her an infrequent treat. She really hates the phone camera or she would have chomped the whole thing down instantly.

    MALE OR FEMALE ?

    Very definitely a male. Handsome little guy too.

    RIP Money Tree

    I keep a back up supply of plants for my girl Stella. Even then though, she always has the ugliest and barest looking of enclosures. I can’t keep up with her. 😂

    Curious of his age

    Pet stores often sell babies that are way too young. A good breeder won’t send their veileds off until they are at least 3 months old, and panthers grow a bit slower, so they may be a bit older. I’ve seen veiled babies that were probably only a few weeks old in a local pet store. 🥺

    Husbandry Check?

    I would take him out while you set it up and make sure to have everything that you need right there. I had brought in an extra tall plant just to put my chameleon on to hang out while I redid everything. I made sure to be quick and I did keep a close eye just to make sure there wouldn’t be any...

    RIP Money Tree

    Make sure to give your new plant a good drainage layer in the bottom of the pot to avoid root rot. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes too. Just about every plastic pot that I’ve bought I’ve had to drill drainage holes thru.

    Husbandry Check?

    Hi. Beautiful boy! 🥰 You’ve got some great larger plants. Are you looking to add smaller ones? Pothos is the workhorse for chameleons and does come in different varieties. If you place it on the bottom and train it to grow upwards, the leaves will grow bigger. Tradescantia zebrina is another...

    Curious of his age

    Hi. I’m going to guesstimate a little bit younger at about 2-3 months old in those pics. Are you certain you have a boy though? It’s hard to tell from your pics. Boys will have prominent tarsal spurs on their back feet, like this. Boys will also start to be showing these kinds of patterns at...

    Any help to hand feed my chameleon?

    I use the methods in @Beman blog still. One of the most important things I’ve found is to keep my body as far away as I can and just fully extend my hand out while not making any eye contact at all. Eventually neither of those things will matter much, as your chameleon has learned to have some...

    Not the average question about chameleons

    Thank you! Little cutie! 🤗 I am a ‘cat lady’ (currently with no cats) so do love to see them all.
