Do chameleon bites hurt? Do they bite and release or hang-on for awhile. Mine is very docile and so far hasn't even hissed, but I see various post about bites and the authors sound like they are afraid to be bitten. Obviously the larger the lizard the greater the bite force, but can a...

Should I mist him following dinner, to help wash down the bits?

What I find funny is, he sticks his tongue out about an inch or so, then pauses for a bit doing maybe three or four "mini-warmup flicks" with his tongue before he decides to actually shoot. It's almost looks like he is waiting, letting 'em get lined up, to maximize the return on his effort.

What is the record for most bugs in one shot?

Hurray!! Mel is Eating I admit that I am a little slow to figure things out but we finally got Mel to eat. He simply wanted live crickets. No meal worms, no superworms, no shrubbery: only Live Crickets. I suppose that is what he was accustomed to eating before we brought him home. He has...

Mist water? Thanks for the reply. I will follow your recommendations. I am increasing the misting cycle to 20 min. every 2 hours. Is there any need for concern when using city water to mist, re. chlorine, fluoride etc.? He seems to be molting on his head. See pics Do they get...

Thx and more Many thanks for the help!! I have been thoroughly spritzing him/her/it for two days now, about 5 minutes per session and at least 4 times per day. He/she/It - has begun opening its mouth and lapping water as it runs off it head. This is good, I think. Still not sure if it...
