My chameleon decided to sleep upside down holding on with only his hind legs

I can't imagine how dirty their cricket farms are... So even if it was the only pet store available in a reasonable distance and you want to be a chameleon owner, I would say it's time to create your own pet store for your needs ;) that would make one fun bio class!! You could even learn how to...

They DID move them away from each other. This particular store is pretty good and they care about their product, but if they didn't, I would be getting pretty feisty, there is no room for being "appropriate" if they aren't going to be polite and take a person trying to offer help. I would be...

Tank, do Pygmy live in tanks instead of screen?

I would tell the pet store that you are a chameleon hobbyist and in no way are you trying to be rude BUT you know some things about proper care and you know the diseases that could come not only into the chameleon cage but into THEIR store!! Communication is less of what you say and more of who...

I respect the fact that she wants to be alone, but it's just humorous how she acts compared to the others that are a little more social. I was really looking for ways others have kept theirs and what they think may have allowed their chameleon to feel more at ease with their owner

well, shit, that means I will probably need to get my baby chameleon tested too. She lives in a completely different cage/set up/ and cannot see the male at all, but she eats the same food. I get my food from a very clean pet store, and I have personally been back to check out the scene cause I...

I am positive that he loved his life up until that point he was a well rounded man! Feeders ? Like the feeder holder? The feed itself? Or the source of feed?

I have had several chameleons, all of them with different personalities, but this one is so freakin timid!!! It's my first girl and she is so afraid of me! I recently decided to let her try free ranging and she of course loves it but hides from me when I come to get her from her cage or get her...

Some of you may have read my prior post when I took my 1 year old veiled to the vet. He was sick, and not eating, but drinking. I know that many problems are due to husbandry, and please keep in mind that I don't need anyone to ask me what my set up is like because I am not asking anyone a...

Thanks all

Gosh, I get it, Geez, it was my husbandry, his mouth is completely fine now. It needed to be a little warmer and he needed to get a good drink and mist. I mist everyday for about 3-5 minutes and then put it in front of his face and let it drip into his mouth. The book about all different species...

I feel good that I took him here anyway, it's about time for his first check up

At vet, says he looks okay, of course he is green and no more mouth saliva is present once I bring him here... I also bought a new basking bulb for him so maybe the new warmth made him feel better. I'll make sure to keep him warm and hydrated and give him some yummy dusted worms he hasn't tried...

I do know that when I first got him he got used to a warmer temp(90) before I discovered they enjoy cooler temps (80-85) he may not have liked the adjustment and I didn't consider first that moving lower was his way of getting cooler before, now he tries to be as close to the light as possible...

Oh, and thanks hoj I'll keep that in mind !

The actual book which is sold at pet stores, barnes and noble .. I don't trust things online because they vary but it's good to at least hear different opinions because they could end up pertaining to your chameleon.

Thanks, yeah I will take a shower once I get back and let him chill in there with me. He doesn't like it for too long it makes him get dizzy and disoriented

My chameleon hasn't eaten in three days, and I just found built up saliva in his mouth after his attempt to eat a worm, but couldnt quite get it due to the build up. He is very sick and his doctor appointment is at 1:30, time is moving slower THAN EVER! I have been able to give him water, and...

Well I am so excited to get a set up going on and buy a little tree! Right after he is better and gets a check up I will start letting him roam more, I just know he will love it !
