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

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

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

Feeling a bit inspired this cold morning so I went and picked food stuffs for my gut load. I have been working with 16 square feet of soil in my backyard to try to start producing some fresh food stuffs for myself and my family. Its not much but anything helps these days.

So what a great day today! :) Went to the Phoenix show both days. Picked up a very nice Ambilobe from Kent with FLChams Thanks Kent! He was super helpful and answered all my annoying questions. lol :)
I thought he was the best looking Ambilobe they had by far and I am super glad my boss...
I currently have 3 chameleons, and suddenly I have gotten the urge to buy a fourth....a Jackson chameleon. I don't really have room for one right now, but it would be a nice addition to the family. I wonder if anyone is going to read this shit. Oh well.

BEFORE you buy a chameleon or add to your collection you need to evaluate your personal situation
I have 8 + years of experience with different species of chameleons including panthers, jacksonii, veiled and Melleri along with “other reptile” experience. I have dealt with all ages including...

I'm wondering if there is any value in recording here the diary of what my chameleons eat. I can see quite a few people do read those blog entries, or at least open /glance at them. But does it provide any value? Does it serve as some kind of example, or provide insight or ideas?
I track the...
During this month I was able to install a heating system for the Mistking water. I haven't made a post about this just yet, but I may still do that if there is some interest. I bought a heater for about $20 on ebay, and it does heat the water at least a little bit. However I do wish it would...

I was reading a Seth Godin blog post last night. It really resonated with me. At the time, I was into the fourth hour that evening of reading about the best possible care for some new frogs of mine. This is merely one such research session, with a great deal of learning happening prior to...
Intro:
Not many folks on the forum own Senegals, and as a first time owner, I have found this breed to be a very entertaining and peculiar breed of chameleon. My chameleon, Peppers, is a one year old Senegal that I have had the pleasure of caring for for the past five months (As of 10/2010). I...
So my neighbor gets a new puppy about three weeks ago and they are happy and they said how wonderful their new puppy is and how much they love him and on and on. Well, Saturday morning their older dog bites the eye out of the puppy and instead of taking him to the vet, they went to the Animal...
Every few months, I grind up a new batch of dry gutload. The recipe is different everytime, based on what I've got on hand.
1/2 cup raw Sunflower Seeds (next time, I'll use fewer sunflower seeds)
1/3 cup Kelp powder
1/4 cup raw Almonds (next time, I think I'll use fewer almonds)

Two weeks into treatment on Earl. His recheck was yesterday and the Dr says the edema is slowly improving and the abscess area looks good.
He gained weight the last two weeks and he now weighs 317 grams. I've been having to hand feed him due to the edema affecting his vision. I have also...

So I have not really been on. Last month was terrible for me having lost my aunt, spent waaay to much time on planes, endured terrible cry sessions with family, delivered a friends cham to its early demise, the list seems to go on and on. Man when it rains it really pours.
On the bright side...
Cleaned out the room today and rearranged a bit. I bought a space-heater for the room as last year I kept the entire house extra warm and it cost me a lot. I was able to arrange things in such a way that I don't believe he can get off his tree to the floor finally. I wasn't too worried before...
