That superworm story is just a myth - it's been going around for years, but isn't true. Your cham will chomp down on them, crushing them in their teeth, so no danger from them eating their way out of cham tummies!

Aww, she's such a cutie! Happy Hatch Day Lola, your brother and sister are just waiting for theirs coming up!

I have 3, and they fit perfectly into my reptile room, so no plans to get any more. I've got 2 veileds (brother and sister), and a male panther. I'd say the 2 boys are my favorites, as they both like coming out for alone time on the lanai to enjoy the sunlight. The female is the devil...

Congrats to you, that's the best feeling in the world, isn't it? Hope she continues to view you as her "other" climbing branch! :)

For me I do it between 9 months and a year, depending on how much he is growing. At that point you can decrease a day per week of feeding and then get down to every other day. I have 2 veileds that will be 3 at the end of this month, and a panther who is 1 1/2 years old. All of them are fed...

I've been keeping chameleons around 13-14 years, and can remember this as some of the first info I learned. I don't have the article, unfortunately, but it was part of the commonly passed around information. I do remember though that it was being disproved back then. It's interesting to see...

No, do not place a glue trap in your cage for exactly the reason you mentioned. Instead you can get a Katchy from Amazon, which is a light with a sticky pad inside it. Place it in your reptile room, or near your cage and it will attract those gnats in no time.

I'm also in Florida and have plenty of humidity, but hopefully the water bottle trick helps! I've raised 2 batches from worms that turned into moths and then laid eggs this way.

They are super-sensitive. They will hatch in my chameleon room, but not in my kitchen, and my house isn't that big! I agree with the advice given, however I'd add that when they hatch you need to spray a little bit of water around them. I keep them on papertowels to hatch, and just spritz...

Just make sure your cage is heavily planted - they will bed down behind the plants and it won't matter. Mine are in a reptile room, off of the dining room. When we have company over the light is on and they have ambiant light from there, however it's never been an issue.

I've seen several octopuses in the wild and they never cease to amaze me. Some are in rocks and you only notice them breathing as you swim over them. Others are out and about, changing both colors and textures so quickly that you head swims. I have seen one ink once and that was actually the...

Welcome to a quite addictive hobby! Another source to check out is Bill Strand's Chameleon Academy podcast. He covers everything you could ever think of and more, and has such a gentle voice while doing it. He's been keeping for decades and firmly believes in testing out theories before...

Yep - they eat the coral and poop out sand. You can watch them doing it too, they poop A LOT! Wrasses also drastically change color from the time they are young until they are fully grown. My favorite thing about the parrotfish is their tiny little pectoral fins that just flap madly as they...

There are many species of parrot fish, and they change colors drastically from when they are born until they are adults, much like our chameleons. Another fascinating fact about them is that at night they spin a mucus membrane around themselves to protect themselves while they are sleeping. If...
