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.

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

I've been on the hunt for supplies for my build. Being the son of a son of a sailor (Yea Jimmy Buffet), no wait a shop teacher, I have all the tools and wood. I get to use the tools for free, and the wood only cost's educators cost. I Haven't decided between walnut or cherry. The cherry will...
I've attached a pic of the design!!! It took me a while to figure out how to convert it to jpg. It's 100% to scale, it's a total of 6'9" tall 2'6'' Deep and 3' Wide. And The chameleon is also to scale as best as I can figure.
The two glass sections that are visible in the pic will have an...
Hey It's me again about 30 seconds after I posted the first Blog. Time to get in to the hard part. The design.
I'm putting this enclosure in the corner of a room, next to a tall dresser 2 and a half feet deep. The roof is 9 feet from the floor, but it has a 45 degree slant from the wall to...
Hey anyone reading this! I'm excited, just earlier today I became a full fledged Member! I've been wanting to do this blog for a while now detailing the undoubted long process of building my custom chameleon enclosure.
But first a little background on me. My name is Brent Steiner. I'm a...
This post isn't directed at anyone in particular... Unless you do any of the things that I mention in this post. Then it's directed at you. Right at you. Feel it. Feel it's burn on your flesh.

This week has been rather awful. Mostly for personal reasons. I'm struggling to keep up in school and feeling down over it. And, of course, this week was the week I got my new male panther, and the week my female panther decided to lay. Most of my friends could not care LESS about chameleons, so...
5 chameleons on their way to new homes today, 2 more leaving in a couple weeks
Bitter sweet!
I breath in the air, and it becomes a part of me. Travelling through my lungs, into my blood, fueling my thoughts and movements. And what I breath out passes to others, to trees who "breath" the CO2 and animals that take in the unused oxygen and such I didnt keep. A glass of water now in me, was...
Swyft is still being a brat about eating but he does eat. Just one superworm here and there. For awhile I am pretty sure he was eating gnats and flies that were in the room. (I have a natural turtle habitat and we tend to get bugs from that)
He drinks a lot, poops, and is active, and still...
If your chameleon closes it's eyes through the day, it may very well be a sign that the chameleon is sick. Healthy chameleons eyes are open and alert for the whole day - they are diurnal and only sleep when it gets dark.
Sadly, chameleons are often really sick by the time their owners notice...
on 2/17/2011 I fed my female Veiled her first and only pinky mouse. This was 2 days after she mated, I wanted to get her fertile before going through another infertile clutch lay. If some of you recall, Kiwi was recovering from gular edema due to a deficiency of Vitamin A & D from laying her...

For all of you trying to find a good dripping system, here is an idea.
The challenge, a) don't want to poke the screen on top of my cages. b) don't want to spend much on it. c) The commercially existing ones are expensive and cheesy,
So here is what you need:
1. A soft plastic...
While crickets and roaches are very easy to gutload, and the ones most often talked about, dont stop there. Larva and other feeders should also be gutloaded as best as possible.
Silkworms are gutloaded on mulberry leaves, dandelion leaves, shaved carrot, organic sweet red pepper, grape...
I've had my chameleon for 3 weeks now. I've got him a pretty sweet little set up in my second bedroom in my apartment. He is in a large ReptiBreeze mesh/screen cage with a hibiscus plant, and some branches for him to climb on. I bought him a really branch-y one from LLL, and he LOVES it! He used...
My first blog here yeeh. I have seen many members wondering how to cup feed chameleons succesfully. Well, I'll share what I ave been using for a while in a very effective way. Here it goes. I use clear plastic carrot juice bottles, like the one in the picture below. Try to look for this brand...
Eye or Eyes Closed or Shut
1) Lighting - Incorrect lighting (CFL's, coil bulbs, mercury vapor) can cause a chameleon to close eyes and appear to be swollen.
-- Solution: 5.0 Linear tube bulb (reptisun or reptiglo) brands are great. Length of uvb bulb will depend on the size of your cage...

Due to serious family concerns and work concerns that would normally have seemed serious had not the family issues existed to put things in perspective, I will be mostly off line for awhile.

Veiled Chameleon Care Sheet
As you can tell from the title of this page, this is a care sheet on Veiled Chameleons. To start off, the Veiled Chameleon is one of the most commonly kept species of Chameleon. In my honest opinion the Veiled Chameleon is quite possibly the best species of...
