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

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

SO, I've been busy with personal stuff, but I'm finally back! I got some really cute pics of Leon! Also he loves to be outside.
Okay so now its July! So that means that the monthly contest is here. I really like taking pictures, but I have a bad camera. I take Leon out for the first time to take some pictures of him, he turned very bright but my mom decided to put a filter on him for some reason. I took other pictures of...
DISCLAIMER: I feel like ill never catch up to the present day so I'm going to skip some of these past days, unless something awesome or cute happens with Leon sorry about this.
I'm skipping to July 2nd, 8th day of living with us! Leon had already been showing signs of shedding when I first got...
I think Leon is a natural Model, whenever I need him to pose for a picture, he gives me his best for the picture! On the third day of having Leon I was finishing up some edits I made of him when I was taking pictures of him. He was being such a calm boy! He didn't even puff up when I got close...
Now most people say that chameleons usually take around two weeks for them to settle or to do anything in front of someone, I'm not sure if that's true or not but Leon surprised me when he did all of those things on the first and second day. I was freaking out 24/7 because of how chill Leon was...
Leon was anticipating for so long the sweet, sweet, release out of the carrier cage into his bigger home. I took him out, put him in and watched him change instantly as he sat on the vine he clang onto. We watched him eat his first crickets in his new home. I was absolutely amazed by how far his...
I got Leon at a place called the "Reptilian Nation Expo" the man selling him said he was the healthiest, I believe it! The expo was so amazing! The only off setting thing was the way the man grabbed Leon to show me how awesome and healthy he is, he grabbed him very forcefully to make sure he...
Majic is a two month old baby veiled chameleon that was being kept at a local pet store. His encloser was entirely glass, and not even a foot in either length or height. He was fed poorly, not nearly enough for a growing baby. Since his enclosure was so small, Majic was constantly over heated...
So this isn't usually what I blog about exactly but it was a light and funny topic, it also ended in a great way. I have a colony of carpenter bees that live in a weird wooden awning I have outside. We have always just let them be. They don't bother us, and pollinate stuff even though they...
Now a lot of people have problems with collar pops or any sort of "physical punishment". I do a huge combination of heavy positive reinforcement, a small amount of punishment when needed (and lots of different forms), and lots of catering to my dogs individual needs. In my opinion dogs are...
Dewey... his story is both amazing and long. If you don't think dogs or animals in general can be just as important as a human life then you probably won't understand a thing in this post. Though if you want to read it, I encourage you to read it with every ounce of my being, he has changed many...
Teo: My Hermanni Tortoise, he is absolutely gorgeous and sweet. He is spoiled with organic greens and squashes on occasion. When I have them I give him fresh edible flowers from my garden and cactus certain times of the month. I very occasionally give him a tiny bit of fruit, like every other...
Miko: One of my two cats, though he is honestly mom's I do a lot of the work for him too. He is diabetic due to poor breeding and poor care in the home before we got him. We got him in his senior years, he was at least 7 years old, and severely obese weighing at least 19 lbs when we got him...
So lets get the introductions out of the way:
Icarus (hyrbrid dwarf): One of my four hamsters, he is my project baby right now. I planned to rehabilitate/tame him and rehome him. However that definitely didn't happen. His past care had caused severely detrimental behavioral characteristics...
FYI: This has been posted first on one of my different blogs, so some of these things (such as the links it talks about) are not important since most of them link directly to here and a couple other forums.

I suppose I should start by introducing myself and how I came to be a person that...
