Always love some Mellers pics - he's beautiful!

Congrats on your 2 year mark with your little girl. I don't mean to be a downer, however you may want to monitor her temps and her diet - 5 clutches in 2 years is a big toll to take on a chameleon's body, and will shorten her lifespan. I just want you to have the longest time possible with her!

Welcome to the joys of keeping superworms. I hate to tell you this, but this is something that you will always deal with, unfortunately. I've found a few things that have worked for me in the past so maybe some will be useful. 1. Place papertowels under your superworm bin and spray them with...

My suggestion is to treat this as you would any experiment when you are trying to dial in your humidity levels. Change one thing at a time, and make observations. If you change multiple things at once you won't know what worked and what didn't. Good luck!

Oh don't worry, I wasn't implying that either you or I would actually use water cups for our chameleons, perhaps I didn't phrase my comment properly. When I said I have changed my husbandry habits from your podcasts I was more thinking of nighttime humidity and misting cycles, not this...

They are gummy chameleons, my husband bought me 5 bags for Christmas! They are really good, but if you've never had Haribo before you should know that they are denser than American gummy bears, and a bit tougher to chew. Just a note in case you have any loose fillings in your teeth.

I've taught both my neighbor and a pet sitter how to care for my chams, but I have no more than 3 at any one time. I write out EVERYTHING, and label it by date. As for dusting, I put labels on the containers and really make it dummy-proof. I have automatic misters and lights, which I can...

It's totally normal to spend the first months, heck, the first couple of years in full-on panic mode! As mentioned, you noticed an issue and that's the first step, as well as an important one! Is your cage screened in the front, and top? Slightly tough for me to tell, and I'm a little too...

I've heard and can't confirm if it's true, but the FL WC males tend to have higher casques than CB. But I agree with the above - keep the new cham separate and get them tested before any cross contamination occurs.

Bill, I thought it was a great episode, though I will admit I was driving while listening, and as you started the episode by asking the question I screamed "NO" in my car. Thankfully I didn't have any passengers, though anyone who would have been in there know me well enough not to be...

Dr. Bruce is amazing, and the reason I have no issue driving 7+ hours roundtrip to see him! Glad he's getting your boy all fixed up. When I have to give meds I don't squirt straight in their mouths, but instead aim for the back corner to avoid aspiration.

You can re-pot your plants with 1/2 ABG mix, 1/2 regular soil which helps the plant drain and not attract them as much. Also, you can get a Katchy on Amazon, they really work quite well. Good luck!

You can try Reptile Central on Facebook, I think they are pretty good. I'm in there, but mostly I just scroll through. I was also thinking about getting a crestie (ok, let's be honest I'm trying to convince my husband that we need a crestie after our dart frog passes and we have an empty...

She was amazing - I never got to meet her, but I know Marianna and I know how hard it's hit her. This was truly a huge loss for the chameleon community.

We got that water distiller from Amazon and love it. We use it for our dart frog, we have a whole house RI system for the chameleons. As for the electric usage I couldn't advise because we have solar panels so it's hard to tell. Good luck!

I've been here in FL for over 20 years and I think I've seen more spoonbills this year than in all past years combined. On your next trip, if you are in the Naples area there are 2 places for you to check out to see more wildlife. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary (Audubon Society-run) is a 2 mile...

In Orlando go see Dr. Bruce Bogoslavsky. He's amazing, and I drive up from Naples with my boys when I need a visit for them. He's at the Animal Veterinary Hospital of Orlando.

I'm so sorry to hear about your girls, Jann. They both had excellent lives with you (though Gemora had so little time, but I know she appreciated all your love and care).

I've used 2 solutions with pretty good results. First, I buy ABG mix (Atlanta Botanical Gardens), and mix that with my potting soil in my plants. It helps to drain the soil, so not as many gnats grow. Secondly, I bought a Katchy on Amazon, and set it up in my chameleon room. It does an...
