Hi everyone, I'm moving to Australia (from Pennsylvania) next June, and at first I was super optimistic about bringing everything and everyone with me... but now I'm realizing how complicated this will be. Does anyone have any experience bringing chameleons on planes as a carry-on? I love my...

^this is a picture of the set up^

I was going to type this all out in caps because I'm so happy, but that would be hard to read.... anyway. I just wanted to share my recent success in 'taming' my male panther chameleon, Sebastian. When I first brought Sebastian home, he was shy and never came out of his cage. He eventually...

Thank you! Changing habits as winter approaches makes sense. Which do you think would be more bothersome, light through the windows or movement and light in a neighboring room? His cage is too huge to cover up...

I'm not sure if my chameleon has sleeping issues..... Your Chameleon - ambilobe panther, male, about 9 months old, a 3 months in my care Handling - other than putting him in the cage and taking him out for a vet wellness-visit we haven't handled him yet Feeding - we feed him crickets and...

I've been finding more and more cicadas and tons of Japanese beetles around my house. Can I feed those to my chameleon? He'll have to grow a bit before he can fit a cicada in his mouth, but when the time eventually comes I don't want him get indigestion or something. It seems like such a...

Wow, I can't imagine taking care of such exotic, feisty birds! All I've got are chickens...who are sort of pure evil but I love them anyway :D Also, Sebastian fecal tested NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):) He obviously doesn't know what's going on but it seems like his introduction to the...

The vet I went to did a physical exam (feeling the stomach, light in the mouth, etc) and I'm not sure if she didn't offer x-rays and bloodwork because Sebastian looked healthy or for some other reason... The vet implied that she had seen several chameleons but she isn't necessarily an expert...

Sebastian made it to the vet and back with minimal fuss! The vet said that he looked healthy and we will get the fecal test results back tomorrow! Cross your fingers! Thanks for all the help and funny (yet somewhat scary) stories!

Carlton, thanks for all your help! I really appreciate it. Scout, I'm just nervous and want to make sure I'm doing everything right. The last time I went to a vet for a chameleon I did not get good news, okay?

Hi everyone! I'm taking my still-sort-of-shy male ambilobe panther chameleon who is about 8 months old to the vet for the first time. He settled into his new home a few weeks ago and I scheduled an appointment to check for any parasites. I lost my first chameleon to parasites and I hadn't gone...

I have a male panther chameleon, and the specific type of orchid would be 'Phalaenopsis' If Sebastian crawls around on the plant and a leaf breaks is less of a concern to me than if he eats a leaf and gets sick... Is this 'Phalaenopsis orchid' too toxic?

Are orchids safe to put in my chameleon's cage? I mostly have pothos plants but would like to add some others as well.

There's another picture. I'm still trying to get a good picture of the top of his head (he still shy's away a bit when I hold a camera above him). It looks like he is shedding... white, but not the same white he has around his eyes, mouth, and stomach stripe. It doesn't look like its coming from...

Thanks for your help! I started supplementing today and will try to get the humidity higher. Do all parasites show up in a fecal matter test? Or is it better to bring him to the vet?

We just got a male ambilobe panther chameleon on June 18th. He is about 7 months old. He looks pretty skinny and is always very eager for food. The breeder did not test him for parasites, but said that he dusts crickets with panacur every 6-8 months. We are planning on getting a fecal test done...

I have had a HabbaMist for a while and am happy with it. I am trying to get a second one to reduce the amount of extra manual spraying because the cage is so big. I searched and searched for another HabbaMist exactly like the one I have but with no avail, so I ordered a ReptiRain. The ReptiRain...

I have one HabbaMist which has been working well for almost two years, but since the cage is huge and I'm sort of remodeling it, I was going to get another one. But I can't find the same type of HabbaMist. I ordered a ReptiRain... which leaked the first time I used it... :mad: And I've...

I did a ton of research before buying my first chameleon. I knew all about the proper husbandry but where I went wrong was buying a chameleon from a pet store. We went to a few different pet stores to look at chameleons, and they were all dehydrated, dark, and cramped. I have to say, Petsmart...

I'm so sorry for your loss! I also recently lost a female chameleon. She did not have any surgery or egg laying complications but her clutches were so large (averaging about 50 eggs each) that she wore herself out; she was about the same age. Considering how you went to the vet and went to...
