Cage Cleaning • Sanitation ISTYT (Part 4) DisinfectionAn eye problem is probably not going to be contagious. Any parasite eggs could linger in the cage. A good soapy wash and a bleaching would have...- JacksJill

Cage Cleaning • Sanitation ISTYT (Part 4) DisinfectionI would say no. I would steam it or use hair bleaching 12% peroxide on a used cage of uncertain origin.

Traveling with Chameleons
There are a number of ways to transport your chameleon to reduce stress. Whenever your chameleon needs to go in the car to the vet, or when you're moving, it can be nerve-wracking to make sure they are going to be okay during the stressful journey. Though chameleons have specific long term needs...- ferretinmyshoes

Egg Laying and the Laying Bin
I free range my chameleons so I really have to pay close attention to when it’s time to lay eggs. I think one of the most important things is to have a gram scale and weigh her once a week. If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

The week has gone okay. Her sheds aren't as startling as when she was young (I swear she was like a husky who 'blew his coat', when I saw her one day green and the next all grey/white and scaly). Now its more like a foot here and a tail there.
Her movements are moderately better. No...
See http://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/535-food-supplement-diary-repashy-experiment-october-2011.html for background info.
This is the prey intake log for a single male panther chameleon for which I am periodically using the Repashy Calicum plus supplement product.
So far...
Shayna did not do well yesterday. I rescued her from the floor of the cage at least 4 times. I checked on her hourly, and if she was okay I simply left the room.
I'm going to try a whole month with no multivitamin.
This morning she was doing okay, all four feet on the branch.
Spouse...
I actually heard her take the fall this time, ran downstairs and found her with both forelegs pinned, laying on the floor. She's grabbed herself a few time too.
Maybe the whole thing is a growing pains sort of thing
Got a weight on her: 43g she is a pudgey thing.
Supplemented with Ca+ D3 on 4 crickets
Received phoenix worms, they're a hit
Moderately good movement. Had to rescue her half a dozen times this week.
Did some major reoutfitting of her environment, removing bottom of cage, raising the cage onto a wire storage type table, so a tray can go...
just because i havent done one of these in a while, imma post one, and if anyone sees anything wrong - please let me know

Shayna is doing very well right now. For two days she's been very consistent in her improvement. She was fed 10 phoenix worms and about as many crickets dusted with multivit

Today I supplemented her crickets with Repashy Ca+.
She was 'tangled' twice this morning, and cranky about getting untangled.
This is a little depressing as she had been really well for a few days. We'll see how the day progresses.
Shayna is my first reptile. She is a veiled chameleon, hatched around March 2011, and acquired in August.
For a month or so she was housed in an 18x18x30 mesh cage with 5 different live plants. Soon she was eating too much philodendron for my taste, and all live plants except her mini...
An Average Day For My Chameleons And Me
This is an example of what I do and how much time I might spend on my chameleons on a fairly average day*, to provide new keepers with a very general idea of what their days could look like as chameleon owners. Most of my set-up is automatic. I will...
I was going to try and write something really good with tons of examples but I don't think I need to. In fact something shorter and to the point is probably going to be more beneficial.
Lighting is the most important thing that goes into taking a picture (in my opinion, but it probably is in...
I made a mistake when makeing my pygmys cage. instead of useing hydro balls im useing water cubes. i actually think this has a good chance of working and will be tracking my results. :)

hypothesis- the water cubes will...
