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

Individual Baby Cages or Caging during the time of Covid
My first prototype I was planning on using Exo-terra Nano glass cages for my baby cages but the supply chain issues we are all too familiar with made me get creative. Forum member, MeruJack, who I all but stalked on here when I was getting started used Nanos for her baby jacks and she had a...- JacksJill

Free-range inspiration
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...- Sonny13

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 chose a Round cage (Usually made from two "lids" and mesh - like in the example: Round Cage) for my first Chameleon as a cage, because I didn't know much about chameleons at first and this was very cost efficient.
Pro's
1. It's easy to make and costs about a third of what a normal homemade...
Compact bulbs in my opinion are one of the worst and most dangerous reptile items available for chameleons. There have been several studies that point to the dangers of compacts as well as owners (like myself) that have experienced the issues of compacts in person. Sadly, it seems that there...
After several weeks of thought, I decided it would be best to run a humidifier along with my mistking. The Las Vegas climate is simply too dry and kept my cages at a solid 20% humidity, even after mistings with the mistking, my hydrogrometers were only increasing by a few percentages. I had...
I made a new cage for Chameleo, so he can get some natural sunlight everyday (or most).
CHECK IT SON
He is no longer that much of a fury, and pretty chill in general. I like the nickname still though.
This blog is all about my experimentation with plant soils, that began on Friday May 29th. After some extensive research I found that plants kept in high-watered/high-humidity conditions, need a more unique type of soil than the original houseplant. Original houseplants typically use loam...
What my adult chameleons ate over the last while. Some ate slightly more, some less - this is an average of the food eaten (more was offered but not taken on some of the days)
June 14: 2 crickets (gutloaded, calcium with D3dusted), 1 silkworm (gutloaded with dandelion)
June 13: 2...
well, today, we toured around helping visitors, and the 1250 summer campers that were there. i got to feed the stingrays, and i witnessed the feeding from atop the 400,000 gallon tank filled with sandtiger sharks, sandbar sharks, southern stingrays, nurse sharks and the like. and to answer a few...
Well, my first day went a little bit like this,
I first arrived at around 8:30am and talked with some people until it started. then, we talked about fire exits, and crowd control type things which are surprisingly boring and mundane. then we had a little break, then toured the place...

So i got a male beardie in june 2008 from petsmart...it was a rocky start with his care and now i look back a see myself as foolish and stupid....but on a lighter note...he is now 11 months plump and 21 inches...so i would say he has the life.
my chameleon came to me as my second scaly friend...
Layla is now starring in her own movie on YouTube. I discovered last week that my digital camera takes movies too. Not just phone camera type movies, but pretty good quality movies. So I got a 15 minute video of Layla outside eating. What I thought was going to be just a simple edited short...
58.) ICE PLANT also LIVINGSTON DAISY (Dorotheanthus bellidiformis or Mesembryanthemum criniflorum)

Two days ago I took Layla outside again with a plastic cup containing two E. Distanti roaches. The weather was not the best but I really wanted to get outside for a while. As soon as I sat down at the patio table with Layla on the grapevine branch resting across my lap one of the resident...
Layla is fascinating to me because her behavior is so hard to understand. I got a fresh batch of Hornworm cups from Mullberry Farms last week. The worms were pretty tiny so I had to wait for a week before they were big enough to make them worthwhile as a feeder.
Yesterday I took a big fat...
New Arrival: Bringing home a new Chameleon
Chameleons are susceptible to illnesses brought on by a host of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Diseases spread most rapidly in unsanitary and crowded conditions and most easily affect weakened or stressed animals. Such conditions are almost...
Layla:
Layla is my female wild caught Melleri. I purchased her from Outback Reptiles over a month ago. I have two other wild caught Melleri, Knopfler and Imperiata, but have had to refrain from handling them much because of their age and disposition. Layla is an adult or close to being...

Fri: 2-4 crickets (gutloaded and calcium dusted)
Thr: 1 roach (gutloaded, no dust)
Wed: 1 stick insect, 1waxworm (treat cuz i felt...

Damage to the house and its contents at 2133 block of Orchard Park Drive is put at $250,000.

From personal experience I have learned the importance of having a good chameleon vet. If you go to a vet that's not that familiar with chameleons you are wasting your money and your chameleon's life. They charge the same, if not more, than a vet that knows chameleons. Then usually after you've...
