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

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

I really like Bean Beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus, as a feeder for baby chameleons in combination with other feeders. I have used them to feed clutches of Jackson's, Hoehneli and know panther breeders who use them with success as well. I will discuss their care and use in the form of a pros...
Hello! I've had my baby Veiled Cleo for a week now and she is doing great! She is a female veiled around 3 months old and loves her new enclosure! I am currently working on getting her to handfeed she will come near my hand and hide in one of her plants but will not come close enouph to eat (any...
Hello my children. so as a first time cham owner, i have become concerned. i gave my girl wax worms (heard they’re good and heard they’re not, tbh haven’t made up my mind.) and her feces looks very different from normal. she does have enough hydration and such. just not sure.
Well our little girl is gravid! It’s very difficult for me to believe. I’m not sure when she will lay, but any advice on a lay bin is welcome and appreciated.
Hello! I haven’t posted in a bit! Kiwi has made a full recovery, and is now climbing and back to being very happy and content. I am THRILLED will the progress!
We did it everyone. she’s using her tongue and climbing all over the place and i am overjoyed. some on this site know of my stubbornness and it has paid off for once in my life. my girl did it!
Being honest here i feel like my work is doing nothing. like i started to see real progress and now it’s all stagnant when i’m doing the same things and giving her all the right stuff. i’m so tired. maybe people were right and i should give her to a rescue person because i don’t know if i can...
Our helm has totally firmed! i’m so proud and i appreciate your suggestions on my last blog post. she’s beginning to love the outdoors more and more. keep praying and you can follow her instagram if you’d like for updates twice a day!
Story time!
I've wanted a chameleon ever since I knew you could own one as a pet honestly. When I was about 8 I saw one in person. Before I saw it I thought they were made up like unicorns. A couple years later I learned that they can be pets and I went nuts and started studying. Fast-forward to...
some people know my chameleon Kiwi has developed bad MBD. when i took her to her vet they told me many things i could do and things to alter such as lighting and supplements. i don’t handle her very much to let her learn to use her legs and she’s still on the ground not using her tongue to eat...

Today we consider how to deal with our time now that many of us are spending this time at home. If we are working from home, how do we stay productive? If we are out of work, what do we do with our time? Luis Wiedemann, a long time reptile keeper, comes on and shares how he has successfully...
Well, we are in the second day of "Shelter in Place". Yesterday was VERY strange! All non-essential businesses are closed and there are no gatherings of people. The world I used to know is strangely silent as most of life is now behind closed doors. I talk about that new reality and I answer a...
The Philosophy of Gutloading
5. Insects and the work they do
As I said previously, I was under the impression that though chameleons can’t digest many of the gutload ingredients we use, they can certainly access the nutrients of these ingredients via the gut contents of our feeder insects. In...
