Basic info on Misting and fogging...
Of course, all animals require water to survive, and it isn't as simple as placing a bowl in the bottom and calling it a day. In fact, with most chameleons this will have little, if any benefit. Most chain pet stores display their chameleons with a water bowl, and this can be misleading to the...- Decadancin

One of the most incredible experiences for a chameleon enthusiast is to trek to Madagascar and see chameleons in the wild. I just returned from exactly that experience!
My purpose was more than just to see how many species of chameleons I could rack up. I was going to feel the conditions and...
Bevo is the live mascot of the athletic programs at the University of Texas at Austin. Bevo is a Texas Longhorn steer with burnt orange and white coloring from which the university derived its color scheme. The profile of the Longhorn's head and horns gives rise to the school's hand symbol and...
Chameleons bring so much joy and happiness to our lives but with that comes care and responsibilities. As a first time chameleon owner and being 15 years old in high school and still learning , I will be sharing with you my experience on how to create "a chameleon paradise" how much I spent and...
There is immense value in collaborating with other reptile communities - especially arboreal reptile communities! We are all trying to crack the code for arboreal reptile husbandry and each community comes at it from slightly different perspectives. By sharing experiences we find how much we...
This week I review one of my all time favorite chameleons - the Yellow-Crested Jackson's Chameleon! My first chameleon over 40 years ago was a Jackson's Chameleon and I have rarely been without one since.
I have updated and significantly expanded the Care Guide I use on the Chameleon Academy...
This week's theme is Reptile rescues. What does it take to be a rescue and what is it like day to day? For this I have on Bill & Sarah Grannis Stewart of Badgerland Reptile Rescue. They come on and answer my questions about what a reptile rescue is like and then they ask me questions about...
This weekend we focus on the theme of how newcomers come to the chameleon community. I am bringing on Julana Dizon who is the host of a reptile themed travel channel on YouTube. She has expressed an interest in getting a chameleon, but has not yet done the research. As she works with animal...
Note: This is a repost of the post in the Health forum to kick off this new blog. This blog will be updated every week with the new Chameleon Show topic.
In this week's show, I interviewed Dr. Rachel Siu, the author of the study "Endoparasites of pet reptiles and amphibians from exotic pet...
Species with females that give live birth or viviparous can also pass unfertilized ova. These are often referred to as slugs. Sometimes they only pass slugs or give birth and pass some slugs at the same time. This is similar to chickens laying unfertilized eggs with out the shell. These are from...

Some inspirational thoughts for free ranging
First, our living room is a large, bright (views on both sides) and pet free living room without small children walking around.
Second, the free-range area is at exact the same spot as where a Reptibreeze XL (24´x24´x48´) stood.
Many assume...
There are at least three reasonable supplement schedules commonly in use these days. The one bit of advise I would give for all of them is to not over dust the feeders. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Your feeder insects should never look like powdered doughnuts or that scene from...
As I´ve seen many builds here, I´m still surprised how many people don´t use the enclosure space to it´s fullest, just saying every inch of space you use, is an inch more space for your chameleon. Building an enclosure with Dragon Strand is the easiest way, especially with the Dragon Ledges...
What to expect?!
As a child I´ve always been fascinated with reptiles and amphibians, searching in local ponds for salamanders and bringing them home to keep them.
Then my first reptile was an Iguana and I loved him, can write a complete book about him, even had some more reptiles including...
There are so many reasons why it is important for a Chameleon to trust their Keeper. As Humans we want them to love us the way we love them. But realistically this is not how your Chameleon is going to think of you. You are simply their Keeper. You are the provider of their needs. While I am a...
"Help". "Need Help" and "Help Please", are not good thread titles. Give us something to go on before we open it and see we don't even know the species that you have. There are dozens possibly hundreds of pages of these titles. I really want to help people with their chameleons but I only have so...
Hello! So some people have seen, my girl is laying her first clutch. It is very tense in my house, as she has had MBD. Being friends with Sweet Pea’s owner has helped me immensely, however it does not take away every anxiety. My exotic vet and I talk quite frequently. He has helped with Kiwi’s...
I was a little concerned about Norbert the other day as he decided to not eat his normally favorite feeders. I have been increasing the dubias and decreasing the crickets and he decided he was going to wait on the supers. I don't give him many nor very often, but I think he was mad at me!! He...
