Awe, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He sure was a handsome little guy. RIP, Tate!

Seems to be the norm. My girl has been shedding like crazy and does this too. She also rubs her head on her branches to get the skin off. It's really cute :)

I am so sorry for your loss, but 6 years for a female is an amazing accomplishment. It sounds like she had a wonderful, happy life with you.

I do believe it's just about egg time. She has been increasingly restless the last couple of days and incredibly, incredibly restless today, climbing all over the screen of the cage, even the top portion, moving around a lot, and checking out the laying bin. She is still eating, though...

There is nothing cuter than a sleeping cham! Love the set up!

Make sure you have your supplementation bought before you get your new little one. That'll be Calcium, two different cups of it, one with D3 and one without D3, and a multivitamin. You'll dust your feeders with the calcium (WITHOUT D3) at every feeding, and then twice a month you'll dust with...

Oh yes, it is quite an investment of both money and time, which is why it took me 5 years of researching and waiting until my income and free time could support chameleon ownership. I call them the toddlers of the reptile world. It is a lot of work, a lot of worry, and a lot of knowledge. And...

I'm sorry to hear she still isn't eating. It is so frustrating and scary when they don't eat! Have you tried offering her any greens or fruit? I know that they say chams will eat sand or dirt when they're lacking other nutrients. I'm not sure how true that is, but as a test yesterday, I attached...

Odds are he's a shy drinker. I've had my veiled since June and I think I've seen her drinking from her dripper maybe 3 times total. But her urates are always perfectly white so I know she's drinking. It's just when I'm not around (I actually caught her the other day, accidentally when I walked...

Congratulations! That's such a great feeling when they start to trust you like that. Careful with mealworms, they're pretty tough for chams to digest. Have you tried out Superworms? They still aren't a very good staple food, but a little easier to digest. Also, Dubia Roaches are a wonderful...

I love taking her out, too! I'll be doing it more and more now that the ficus is here with us. It took some time with the move to get everything situated. It was pretty funny, I had the ficus against the wall across from her cage and at least 4-5 times I caught her right by the door of her cage...

Since I've replaced Claudia's ficus tree with her laying bin in her cage, I've decided to use the focus as a free range tree for her. I think she missed it. She's so content up there in the leaves :)

Oh wow. She looks very angry! She does look puffy in the picture. Not the easiest to tell since she looks to be in a defensive pose to look bigger. The white on the mouth is also interesting. I've seen black on the mouth from the cham rubbing their faces on the cage trying to get out, but I'm...

Oh boy do I understand your worries so well. Claudia did the exact same thing when she was receptive about a month or so ago. I was out of my mind with worry. She also loves eating her sand in the lay box. I made sure to use washed, sifted play sand so the particles are as small as possible and...

Awww! And how can you resist that face? Impossible :D

It's only been a few days. Give him time. He's probably terrified right now and his response is to become aggressive. He needs time to get used to his new home and the people in it. Start small and never try to grab him. That's just asking for trouble. One thing that I do with all herps that...

I have so many hornworms hatching today! Every time I look into the cup there's at least another 5 that have hatched. I move them into one of the cups with food, rinse and repeat. It's amazing. I'm sadly down to one moth. The other two bit the dust a few days ago. Just waiting on more to make...

Oh what a cutie! She sure looks annoyed though haha. I can't imagine how uncomfortable all of my skin shedding off would be. The itching! Gah. Time to pamper the little girl a little :)

Ain't THAT the truth!

This is her just a few minutes ago. I had her out to weigh her and give her some free time (she's down to 112g now), but here's another reason that I think it might be egg time soon. She's been showing, what looks to me like, gravid colors on and off the last few days. It's not constant...
